Do you agree or disagree with this perspective?
In the first video, Professor Schweitzer and doctoral student Emma Levine raise a number of considerations about honesty and truth-telling in the professions. At one point, Professor Schweitzer says, “There are really two key ideas that we suggest for implementing some of these findings. One is to change codes of conduct. That is, when we talk about codes of conduct, and we have honesty in there, for the sake of hypocrisy, I would take that out because it’s not what we mean, and it’s not what we do.” Do you agree or disagree with this perspective? Do you think it applies to the professions generally, or is it particularly an issue for one or more professions you can think of? What might a code of ethics provision that embodies Schweizter’s advice look like?
