Prompt 2: Defining Ethics - Programming Code of Ethics

By Tanner Fred

The code of ethics as defined by the National Association of Programmers is something that is used as a guideline  for those interested in being programmers, as well as those who are already programmers, to use as a way to conduct themselves professionally. These rules are an example of how the people in the field of computer science and engineering are known to conduct themselves. I believe that engineers do have a good reputation of being quite professional and following this code to the best they can. I believe that most people do know the code of ethics for this field because they are very similar to that of others fields, where professionals should conduct themselves very mannered and respectable. The code is very generic and is not that specific about many things in the computer science field.

I think that most people in the field follow this code to the best of their abilities and attempt to conduct themselves in the very best way that they can. Engineers are typically known to conduct themselves in a very respectable and professional manner and this follow this code extremely well. The code of ethics is very well known in this field because with engineering and creative fields there can be a big issue with copyright and the stealing of ideas, so the professionals in the field follow the code closely to make sure they do not get into trouble.

As far as this code being in relation with my own ethical standards, I agree with all of the articles in this code as they outline the proper way to handle yourself in business situations. It also outlines ways to use your peers as your own resources rather than going to other places to get your information and to share your information with the others in your field.
