My organization manages its ethical and social responsibilities in a variety of ways, from helping the community through donations and sponsorships, to maintaining the environment, to disclosing financial information honestly.

The HIM profession is sentimental to the production, storage, and disperses of lethal information in the field. Therefore, it has to have sounding ethical considerations in the environment (Harman & American Health Information Management Association, 2006)

Happiness and sadness are the most important coordinates in the equation under these circumstances. (Mill, 15) Analyzing the situation once again, it can be stated that Google's decision was a moral one since it provided people with a benefit that would contribute to their happiness

Introduction: As with other professional fields, psychology is governed by strict ethical rules and codes of conduct that define appropriate standards of professional behavior. While all medical professionals take the Hippocratic Oath, in the field of psychology, the inherent nature of the doctor-patient relationship is more delicate and complex; it is also potentially susceptible to a wider range of conceivable negative outcomes for patients than comparable situations involving the delivery of physical medicine (Gerrig & Zimbardo, 2007)

Dual Relationship Issues: Double role situations involve therapists who share another specific extra-therapeutic relationship with patients, such as those in the nature of academic advisor, social acquaintance, relative, or coworker (Zur, 2009)
It is not the aim of education to cultivate eccentrics -- although 'that society is richest, most flexible, and most humane that best uses and most tolerates eccentricity." (Callahan, 43) Therein lay the divide for Merrill, who is torn between a belief in the need for some level of formalization in expectations for journalistic professionalism, which we may view as synonymous with the development of ethical integrity, and a belief in the need for some level of self-volition which can allow for the also ethically necessary maintenance of personal objectivity
