Ethical principles are attitudes that one has based on one's own moral code or under the influence of a duty. They typically include standards set by society or a certain position and practice that are considered admirable and appropriate. Many different fields in the business industry have their own personal set of morals and principles that they hold in high regard. Most codes of ethics are designed around honesty and the general well-being of people. While most have a basic understanding of what is considered right and wrong, where is the line really drawn? What is considered ethical and morally right? How many sacrifices do you have to make to be considered good in public standards and in a specific sector of work? AlChE has a code of ethics that revolves around the well-being of people and the environment. They also have high expectations in terms of morals, principles and personal responsibilities. AlChE has set standards for self-improvement and becoming better leaders in and out of their field who provide honest work that will benefit virtually anyone who applies the product to them. NSPE holds a code of ethics very similar to that of AlChE and most engineering firms. The awareness that most organizations have centers on whether the products they are making will be used for or around the general public. This understanding requires that members of these organizations have high moral responsibility in the interaction they have with. Between AlChE and NSPE it can collectively be said that every engineer must strive to be held to a high standard and put in maximum effort. Maintaining a fair working environment for employees and employers is particularly emphasized within the NSPE. A common theme within both organizations' Code of Ethics is an "or" statement. Although not directly stated in the documents provided, you can tell that any defined "rule" has a possible underlying punishment and discredit to your reputation. The tone you hear is that of a rigorous policy that makes you question ethical codes
