Creating a code of ethics

This  assignment provides you with an opportunity to create a code of ethics   for you  and your family, as well as to explain the strategies and thought   processes  that went into developing the code. First, create an original code  of  ethics  for your family by thinking about your family as an organization. In   your code  of ethics, please include the following items: guiding  principles, purpose of the  code, core values, training and  education (How will you train and educate others about the      code?), definitions, who it covers, mission  statement, and other pertinent elements you feel  necessary to have a comprehensive code       of  ethics.

The next part of this assignment involves an evaluation, where you  describe    the  thought process behind the code of  ethics that you prepared. For the    evaluation  part  of this assignment, draft an  essay to include  the following   items: Identify the  key roles of those  who  have  a vested interest in  the       ethical behavior that your code defines. Explain  the  strategies and  thought processes that you used  to      formulate the  code. Explain  how  you would strategically implement and  communicate the  code       to others in the  organization. Explain  how  you will monitor the  practice  of  ethical       decision-making. Provided that laws exist and have been enacted for resolving conflict, why      do  we also  need a code of ethics?

In the process of writing your code, you must research the topic of codes of   ethics and incorporate at least two articles,  no  older than five years. Your   code and  evaluation must be at least 1,000  words.
