"Employees must follow corporate practices that are designed to protect confidential information. Among the practices that should be followed are keeping that information secure in the workplace, using the information only to do their job and not for personal benefit, sharing the information within SGE only when necessary for others to do their job, and not divulge the confidential information to those not employed by SGE. If confidential information must be shared with persons outside of SGE, a written confidentiality agreement must be used and the employee should consult the legal department prior to sharing of the information for details."

Abstract
The paper analyzes how the respective codes of ethics of the professional counseling organizations; the American Counseling Association (ACA), the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), and the American Association of Pastoral Counselors' (AAPC) reflect the differences in the approaches of these organizations to mental health and healing. The paper examines how codes of ethics usually share common core elements outlining the legal and ethical obligations of counseling professionals. The paper further examines how the ethical codes of these three groups differs on some key issues such as counseling methodology and techniques, and the professional's relationship to society.
From the Paper
"Explicit no-harm clauses are included in each ethical code. Fees are discussed overtly, too, with the AAPC and the AACC more explicit in their encouragement of pro bono work. The AACC also encourages sliding-scale work, but all three organizations suggest that counselors be motivated by the desire to assist clients achieve well-being above the desire for remuneration."

Abstract
This paper points out that, with the Enrons, WorldComs, and Qwests of the world so much in the news, the issue of professional ethics has become popular; but, for managers, regulators and scholars, ethics has been an area of intense discussion for a long time. The author uses the example of the Code of Professional Ethics of the Association of the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) to define ethical behavior. The author concludes that ethics never exist in a vacuum, but are a reflection of popular beliefs, opinions, and sensibilities.

From the Paper
"Is there an ethical dilemma in recording employee phone calls? Let us think of various issues associated with this:
1) Are employees informed before hand that their calls will be recorded? Are they sensitized to the reason that this is done? If the answer to both these questions is a ?Yes?, then it seems more acceptable. Nonetheless, let us not look at this case in isolation. What if this gets extended to routinely video taping company activities? Where does one draw the line dividing monitoring and invasion of privacy?
2) How would the end customers (the one at the other end of the phone call) be better served? Is there a perceived increase in the quality of service? If so, the taping might begin to seem more acceptable."

Ethical Codes of Social Work, 2005.
An analysis of the ethical codes of social work and how these codes benefit social service users.
1,904 words (approx. 7.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 88.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the major values and ethics of social work . It examines how basic helping and counselling skills are guided by the ethical codes and then discusses the benefits that can be attained for the service user when they are used effectively. Furthermore, the paper outlines what can occur when such codes are not adhered to in the way they should be.
From the Paper
"Moreover, unless such theoretical assumptions are placed at the centre of social work endeavour, it is difficult to envisage how the relationship between the social worker, individual service user and wider community can be successfully forged and maintained. Above all, what these values and ethics show is that the practice of social work is extremely varied and must include a wide and differing collection of factors. This is indeed the case with relationship forging but it could also include less obvious and more complex factors like the ecological social work approach (Watson and West, 2006). Here is it necessary for true harmony to be found between human beings and the wider ecological environment. Doing so is a protracted process, but there is also an inherent danger that social work values and ethics are lost when using such wide ranging criterion for the purposes of social understanding."

Professional Accountability, 2004.
Examines the codes of ethics in organizations representing two fields, education and nursing.

Abstract
Examining codes of ethics in a comparative survey leads to the formation of perceived interdisciplinary standards. It is especially interesting to view the comparison as it pertains to an organization?s deviance from or adherence to these standards. This paper compares two organizations regarding their respective codes of ethics: The American Nursing Association Code for Nurses and the University of Phoenix General Student Responsibilities, Standards of Student Behavior. The parameters emphasized in the comparison of respective codes of ethics of these organizations concentrate on issues such as confidentiality and privacy, professional relationships, and other associated ethical principles. These issues represent an important part of clinical and ethical duties, in the nursing profession especially, and by examining the codes of ethics comparatively, the paper presents several conclusions about where interdisciplinary agreement and dissonance lie.
From the Paper
"In both the student and nursing organizations, professional relationships, in comparison to ethical principles, are not relationships between nursing professionals and clients, or students and teachers, but relationships between two or more professionals. These relationships are also covered in various ways by the various codes being discussed. Although dual relationships are possible within this context, the codes emphasize more of a sense of responsibility in maintaining a helping environment among co-existing professionals who respect each other and are not exploitative in their positions within hierarchical relationships. Issues of discrimination appear in this context as well as a multi-cultural context that takes into consideration the needs of both professionals and clients. Overall, professional relationships should provide the best sort of environment in which negative entropy can be approximated within the institutional setting."

Abstract
The paper provides an overview of consequentialism and outlines the central objections to this philosophical and theoretical stance in the context of criminal justice practice. The paper analyzes the extent to which this moral philosophical perspective is relevant to modern criminal jurisprudence. The paper presents the position that while this theory is limited, it also serves some important legalistic purposes and therefore this theory should be integrated with other philosophical points of view.
Outline:
Introduction
Overview of the Philosophy of Consequentialism
Objections to the Theory of Consequentialism
Consequentialism and Criminal Justice
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Substantive moral theories in modern philosophical discourse typically fall into the categories of consequentialist or deontological. Consequentialist theories, which derives from the ethos of utilitarianism, state that, "...agents must always act so as to produce the best available outcomes overall" (Scheffler S. review). In contrast to this position, deontological moral theories stress that the best overall outcomes are not of primacy significance. In the context of modern philosophical and moral theory, it is generally acknowledged that the consequentialist view is inadequate in terms of a comprehensive and inclusive moral theory."

Abstract
The paper explores the function of professional associations and shows how they establish a baseline of expectations, training and industry skill-sets upon which companies can rely on to establish the competency levels of their workforce. The paper focuses on the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), a leading professional association in the property and construction industry globally. The paper discusses how the role of RICS and other professional organizations has expanded greatly from their original function as more of a social organization for professionals to a more encompassing function with deeper economic ramifications.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The role of professional associations within the contemporary business environment and global economy has grown over the last several decades. While in the past professional associations have served to augment professional licensing services as well as to provide professional licensing services, they were often marginalized at the periphery of the particular industry with which they were associated. Bennett describes professional associations as, "collective bodies that are intermediary between individual business action and state action...they are one of a number of organizations that may influence the development of individual businesses and the wider competitiveness of a nation"(244). Viewed in this manner, the role of professional organizations is much more expansive than that of merely a supporting role to industry in general or a licensing body that contributes professional competencies to an industry."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the subject of professional boundaries within counseling. The writer notes that it is critically important that the counselor has the necessary clinical skills in order to assess and develop levels of rapport with the client that are of an adequate nature. The writer points out that the literature relating to the necessity of a balance between rapport and professional boundaries is sadly lacking. The writer concludes that research should be applied in this direction in order that the current knowledge base be refreshed and that any new findings might be added to this research.

Overview
Importance of Rapport to Counseling Relationship
Importance of Professional Boundaries to Counseling Relationship
Maintaining the Delicate Balance between Rapport and Professional Boundaries

Implications for Counselors: Rapport/Boundaries Imbalance
From the Paper
"This is the client who has been forced to attend counseling and may prove difficult to work with in the early stages of counseling. This client is skeptical and has not acknowledged any need for change. The counselor must gain the client's respect and upon that basis establish trust with the client. Solution-focused strategies are considered effective and the counselor should outline the counseling process, identify what the counselor's role is, and outline the rights and duties belonging to the client and finally the counselor should state the outcomes expected from counseling therapy."

The Professional Counselor, 2005.
This paper examines the hypothesis that strong motivation is important to the successful function of a professional counselor.
3,980 words (approx. 15.9 pages), 16 sources, APA, AU$ 158.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that some of the problems with motivating the professional counseling are the stress of too many clients, not getting paid enough money, the loss of a great sense of fulfillment and purpose in the interactions with clients and feeling that they are not helping people by making a difference. The author stresses that what motivates professional counselors seems to differ depending on the person and how that professional counselor interprets his or her function. The paper concludes that, as long as they are not terribly restricted in what they do and they can continue to help others that need them, many professional counselors will remain highly motivated for a long period; however, some counselors could lose their motivation if they are having difficulty determining what their function actually is.

From the Paper
"Other individuals seem to need a motivation that is based upon what they learned when they were being taught what they needed for professional counseling. Still others enter into the professional counseling profession because they feel that they want to make a difference and have a strong desire to help other people. Generally, this helping of others is the main function of a professional counselor, but as can be seen, the motivations behind why people do this type of work are many and various, leading to concerns as to whether professional counselors all see their function as being the same or similar, or whether they have very different ideas about what their function actually is."

Improving Building Codes and Their Administration, 2001.
An examination into the trend towards the adoption of a single building code throughout the U.S.
19,203 words (approx. 76.8 pages), 34 sources, MLA, AU$ 363.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The regulation of building construction can be traced back 4,000 years to cultures such as the Chinese, Greek, and Roman empires. Building regulations arose from the attempts of our ancestors to establish ways to control or avoid devastation from building fires and construction failures. Today, there are a number of specific parameters that affect the cost of buildings, including government building codes, which are enacted to protect public health and safety; these can take the form of both prescriptive and performance requirements, as well as industry demands that may not be reflected in actual building codes themselves, which consist of such desirable factors as climate control, elevators, and other aesthetics. Based on the efficiencies provided by standardized codes, the trend toward adoption of such codes nationally and internationally would seem to be a prudent choice for builders and municipalities. This study examines what the three code-making bodies within the United States were doing, are doing, and how they are now working together to produce a common building code for the United States to improve the safety, aesthetics, and functionality of the building conditions required for the entire country. The hypothesis of this paper is that, as a result of this leadership and innovation in the United States, improvements in building codes will extend to the developing countries of the world.
From the Paper
"Gene Fessenbecker, author of Building Codes and the Construction Contractor, says that, ?The regulation of building construction can be traced back 4,000 years to cultures such as the Chinese, Greek and Roman empires. Building regulations arose from the attempts of our ancestors to establish ways to control or avoid devastation from building fires and construction failures. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson tried to establish some of the earliest design and construction regulations in America for the purpose of protecting public health and safety? (Fessenbecker 1). Today, there are a number of specific parameters that affect the cost of buildings including government building codes, a which are enacted to protect public health and safety; these can take the form of both prescriptive and performance requirements, as well as industry demands which may not be reflected in actual building codes themselves which consist of such desirable factors as climate control, elevators and other aesthetics. This study is intended to examine what the three code-making bodies within the United States were doing, are doing and how they are now working together to produce a common Building Code for the United States to improve the safety, aesthetics, and functionability of the building conditions required for the entire country. The hypothesis of this paper will be that as a result of this leadership and innovation in the United States, improvements in building codes will extend to the developing countries of the world."
