Question: Discuss about the Code of Ethics for Health Education Profession. Answer: Introduction: Ethics stand for the moral values which a person has for the society. They are in context with what the surroundings and the society feels is right regarding something. Hence, ethics are the code of conduct which a person has to follow or he feels right and what he plans to do for the people in the society. For me, following what is right to do in the society, or doing what is acceptable by the people is something what I plan to do in the society- something which I find is morally right in the society. According to me the nature of code of conduct is simple- following what is right in the eyes of the society(Greenberg 2001). The purpose of the code of conduct is that everybody does thing within the given frame and none crosses that line, which if done is punishable in the eyes of law and which for me is right as it does not give unlimited power to the people to exploit whoever they desire. For me there are certain social values which a person should imbibe, which makes someone good. They are- Respect for the people. Professional integrity. Social justice for everyone. Ethical practice increases the value and the image of the individual as well as of the organization is the eyes of the society as it not only makes the person seems to be socially oriented towards the society but also is seemed to be morally right to everyone(Botan 2015). Ethically made decisions are always right and are accepted by the large number of the people in the organization. Ethical practices and responsibilities can be bifurcated under various heads like the responsibilities towards clients, colleagues, at the workplace and the general ethical responsibilities. Under the general ethical responsibilities, according to me, the person should respect the dignity of the other people and should be committed to the social justice and sensitive practice(Flite 2013). I also think that being an ethical person has helped me to keep professional and dual relationships at bay and resolve the conflicts and be committed to the social rights of the people. I have also become responsible towards my clients and because of the ethical code of conduct I have understood the interest of the clients and what they are determined about. I have understood the privacy and confidentiality and that there should be consent of the people(Schwartz 2002). Being working in the ethical society under a code of conduct I have learnt the responsibilities towards my colleagues that how we should all work together in harmony to achieve the goals of the company and work towards its increased profits. There should not be any kind of self- hatred among people. Responsibilities towards service provision and management are something also what I have learnt. I have, with my own experiences learnt, that being working in the society in an ethical manner would always uplift the image of you and your organization and would be lead to the people trusting you and building faith as being ethically good is always the key to success.
