Ideal for accountants, engineers, journalists, lawyers, and physicians, this new collection presents what classical and contemporary thinkers have to say about ethical dilemmas in the professions.
The forty plus essays in The Professions in Ethical Focus are grouped together in five units, each representing a specific profession. "Ethics in Accounting and Finance" explores recent corporate scandals and discusses insider trading. "Engineering Ethics" examines the role of the engineer in society. The essays contained in "Journalistic Ethics" consider journalists' obligations and virtues, as well as discussions of privacy. The moral foundations of law are discussed in "Legal Ethics," and the virtues of medicine and the doctor-patient relationship are covered in the final section, "Medical Ethics."
