    Study Notes

    Professional Ethics

    • Professional ethics are ensured by practices and methods, transitioning from theoretical concepts to practical application. (This is known as "implementation culture.")
    • Professional work encompasses more than just job performance; it involves fulfilling obligations to various parties.
    • The minimum expected job performance is not enough; it entails a commitment to excellence, employing both academic and practical skills.
    • Restricting oneself to technical skills is a deficit in one's humanity.

    Building and Strengthening Ethics

    • Cognitive-intellectual level: Choosing ethical values based on their benefits, followed by mental acceptance and free choice.
    • Affective-emotional level: Valuing and appreciating the chosen ethics; feeling happiness in defending and upholding these values.
    • Performance-behavioral level: Translating values, beliefs, and convictions into actions and behaviors that align with the values' core principles.
    • Performance-behavioral level (alternative): Translating values, beliefs, and convictions into actions and behaviors that align with the values' core principles.
