Professional Ethics

As the video shows professional ethics may be defined as the science that deals with the rights, duties, and  values pertaining to each profession. It is closely related to the social responsibility, and its main objective is to make every conscious about their responsibility they have in each occupation.

It is relevant for every future lawyer to take ethics as way of life. It depends on us the orientation we give to our profession. Nobody may doubt of our ethics if we are creative, responsible, kind, intelligent, fair, and honest.

The ultimate goal of professional ethics is that each professional, no matter her or his occupation, doctors, engineers, lawyers, or teachers perform their duties the best they can, with no harm for others and with  no intention to get benefit for themselves.

As mentioned before, each of the professions has its own ethic code, and as a consequence it is mandatory to follow it. When a professional breaks such code her or his clients or superiors may punish her or him.


In summary, I can conclude that this topic is very relevant  because professional ethics is really importante to achieve success and be known as outstanding representatives in our field.
