1.Examine an organization’s code of ethics by separating the statements that relate to deontological norms versus those that relate to teleological norms. If you find that the norm relates to both, briefly explain why or how.
"Place the integrity of the profession and the interests of clients above your own interests," is a common code of ethics in businesses. This code of ethics relates to deontological norms versus those that relate to teleological norms. The deontological norms judges' morality of an action based on rules and it is informed by the actions rather than the consequences. Teleological norms emphasis that moral obligation is based on what is good or desirable
The statement "place the integrity" is deontological since integrity is one of the rules of any organization and it is tailored to doing that which is right at any given time
The statement "place the integrity of the profession and the interests of clients above your own interests," is a teleological norm since it is informed by doing the right thing by acting in the best interest of the client and professionalism. Acting in the best interest of the client ensures that better consequences are attained compared to self-interest
