3. What are Professional Ethics?
Professional ethics are standards set by professional
organizations for the behavior and values of people working
within a specific field.

4. Why should we have a Professional Code of Ethics?
A Professional Code of Ethics serves several
functions:
Symbolises the professionalism of the group.
Defines and promotes a standard for external
relations with clients and employers.
Protects the group’s interests.
Codifies members’ rights.
Expresses ideals to aspire to.
Offers guidelines in “gray areas”.

5. Why have a Professional Code of Ethics in Computing?
Software has the potential to do good or cause harm, or to enable or
influence others to do good or cause harm.
We have pride in our work and want the work that we do to be given
recognition and respect.
We want to protect our livelihood.

6. Characteristics of a Code of Ethics
They are not simple ethical algorithms that generate ethical
decisions.
Sometimes elements of the code may be in tension with each
other or other sources. i.e. Requires the software engineer to
use ethical judgement to act in the spirit of the code of ethics.
A good code of ethics will enunicate fundemental principles
that require thought rather than blind allegience.
