Code of Ethics

Intention:

A code of ethics documents the principles of conduct that govern an organized group of people. It has to do with a moral philosophy, a system that indicates what is considered ‘right’ and ‘wrong’.

In human cultures, individuals may be expected to subscribe to the codes of ethics of their religious institutions or spiritual organizations. Professions also have codes of ethics to which their members commit.

A code of ethics can offer ‘moral support’ for our intentions. That is why we are offered here an opportunity to think about, develop, and commit to our personal code of ethics.
