Best ethics course I have taken.
Review by: Member on May 5, 2013
The real examples. I would like share with you a experience, however, I feel that I couldn't let you to know my pragmatism, my intention for may English level. I know you would get a translator:Como podria compartir con mi Directora/Director alguna mala practica profesional o una enfermedad de dependencia de un companero/companera de trabajo cuando se que esta autoridad lo usara para vengarse, disfrutarlo, burlarse con sus amistades pero no lo usara para ayudarlo. Por que la poblacion en general cree en lo que la autoridad dice?. Es que una assistente, un tecnico o una persona de limpieza no puede tener altos niveles en sus decisiones legales, eticos y morales, dicho de otra manera los profesionales que tienen un alto cargo no pueden tener una escala de valores de bajo nivel?
