Further to my previous response to this from Santoshbab: I think Jose might have failed to consider the possibility that social activists are not bound by any code of ethics.....and My response,
I was asked by two Goanetters ...WHY I chose NOT to comment on any "CODE of ethics"for social activists. COMMENT: Perhaps, my previous response was not 'complete'. So here go a few lines in addendum a: Codes of Conduct are normally devised by professional bodies, in major part, to protect the reputation of their respective professions. b: Significant and/or repeated violation of the 'Code' by a registered member of a professional body could lead to disciplinary actions by the profession's Governing Council. (please see two examples of "Codes" infra) c: I am not yet aware that Social Activists have a professional body of which they are regulated members. But, I am willing to be corrected. d: I really do not believe that Social Activism is a profession. To me, those who 'practice' their Social Activism in cyberspace, are just loose cannons venting frustrations more regularly than the average "Joe" . e: This is NOT to say that they serve no purpose, for they often do. jc 1: http://www.gmc-uk.org/about/register_code_of_conduct.asp 2: http://www.sra.org.uk/rules/
