Step 4: Discussion o Have a group discussion to compare and discuss the differences and similarities between the codes. o Ask questions such as: "What basic principles of ethics differ in these areas?", "What rules are common to both codes?", "Why are these principles and rules important for each profession?" 5. Step 5: Analysis o Ask participants to analyze what factors may be responsible for differences in codes of ethics. o Discuss the influence of the context of the profession, the values of society, the needs of customers, and other factors on the formation of ethical rules. 6.
