The topic for the Research class this week and next is 'ethics' - what is ethical behaviour, why are ethical guidelines necessary and what organisations have codes of ethics? - among other questions.
It is necessary to have a clear understanding of ethical matters in your own mind before you can critique what others have done, or know why you must adhere to ethical restrictions when making a research proposal. It's not as easy as you may think to articulate your thoughts.
It will repay dividends later if you spend a little time checking out books or websites on ethics and ethical issues. Distance students have been given some links - if you have found other interesting ones, please share them with us.

Should naturopathic ethics fall under the same umbrella as medical ethics?

Ethical thought is one of our basic personelity, and it related to honesty and maturity of mind. assignments, tests or interview, even usual talking subjects should keep the basic thinking of honest and ethics.Of course, keeping interesting , humour and easy-going are still important comporents of chatting.
