This book aims at sensitizing the young minds about the moral and ethical dimensions pertaining to a wide range of professions. The post-industrial world has accentuated the emergence of new professions and is crystallizing other modern professions. Not only is it impossible to conceptualize a society without these professions but also these professions play a crucial role in shaping different work cultures, standards and values. In this process, professions have grown more discrete, albeit with common threads. One of the foundational aspects of any profession is the value and ethical system that it breeds and places itself in, which includes, both, the normative and prescriptive elements concerning the profession and its social obligations. This book opens up a discussion on value systems vis-a-vis forms of professions. It also discusses the basic doctrines of professionals and ethical and moral development theories. The book is categorized into various themes such as business, engineering, medical, education, media and environmental ethics. It also captures prominent global issues such as the globalized workforce, intellectual property rights and legal, political and banking ethics in the light of national and international perspectives. It gauges the development of ethical systems and decision building by presenting empirical discourses as case studies across the spectrum of various modern professions that have evolved to be an integral part of the society.
