Part 1: What Would You Do?

Assume that you were asked to do something or take some course of action within your company that you felt did not align with your professional code of ethics for your field. Assume further that you explained this to your boss, and your boss did not agree with your interpretation of the code. Describe how you would handle this scenario using the five-step decision-making process outlined in Chapter 1 of the textbook. Include your company type and your position in the company. Your response to Part 1 should be at least one page in length.

Part 2: Code Analysis

Use the CSU Online Library or the Internet to search for an example of a professional code of ethics for a professional field other than information technology. Compare and contrast this code with a code for information technology discussed in this unit. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the non-IT field code. Your response to Part 2 should be at least one page in length.

You must use at least one source in completing this assignment. For assistance in locating relevant library articles, you may find the tutorial titled How to Find Journal Articles helpful. 

You will combine both Part 1 and Part 2 together into one document and submit it for grading in Blackboard. Ensure that you label your responses as Part 1 and Part 2.

Your assignment will be at least two pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. All sources used will have proper citations and references formatted in APA style.
