INTRODUCTIO TO IT PROFESSTIONAL ETTHICS

Ethics is a branch of philosophy that addresses the concepts of right and

wrong or good and evil. Ethics can also be called moral philosophy.
Morality means usually a more practical approach to ethics, for example
questions about the right and wrong in actions. Adjectives “moral” and
“ethical” can be used fairly synonymously.
Applied ethics addresses practical, everyday issues. It is usually
normative and thus aims to find the best possible answers to questions
like: “Is this act or policy right or wrong?” Of course, life is often so
complicated that simple answers cannot be provided. Then applied
ethics can serve as a tool for clarifying the issue and  for helping
decision-making and account for these decisions even if there is no
absolute right answer to be found.
Professional ethics provides us means to solve certain ethical problems
related to a certain profession, in this case, health care. Professional
ethics is usually presented as guidelines and rules, but it can be
demanding to apply these to complex situations, that call for sensitivity
to circumstances and the individuals in question. Thus, professional
ethics cannot be only about abiding by the rules, but constant awareness
to the rights and needs of the clients or patients, and critical thinking in
the cross-fire of
ethics, rules, conventions and difficulties of social interaction.
