Find the codes of ethic for your profession. For instance, an electrical engineer would focus on the IEEE Code of Ethics, and a biologist might focus on the Code of Ethics for the Society for Conservation Biology. Once you identify the principles for your field, consider the following questions:

• Where do you find principles explicitly related to writing or communication in the code of ethics for your field?
• Where are connections less obvious?
• Are there ideas about writing and communication that you think they are missing?

After you analyze the code for your field, share what you have found in your submission, including this information:

• Identify your field and the relevant ethical code.
• Provide a link to your ethical code.
• Talk about what you found about writing and communication in your field’s ethical code. What makes something an ethical document in your field?

You can compose your response in your word processor or in Google Docs. Your writing can be informal, but reread to make sure that it will make sense when I check it.
