Objective: The aim of the present study was to identify the core values of Australian psychiatrists to ascertain how these are reflected in the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) Code of Ethics. Method: An ethnomethodological study was conducted on a non-purposive sample of Australian psychiatrists using a non-probabilistic theoretical sampling method. Data obtained at interview were analysed using a qualitative computer-assisted thematic analysis paradigm. The themes generated using this coding strategy were refined into a rich description of the core values held by Australian psychiatrists. Results: Four main values emerged from the data: the value of the patient, the value of sophisticated understanding, the value of reflexivity, and the value of advocacy. Conclusions: The four main values identified in the present study were well reflected in the main principles of the RANZCP Code of Ethics. In the light of the data, some additional annotations to the document are suggested, to better reflect this value system.

Swift changes in the educational sphere call for the teachers to unlock their professional and personal potential. At the same time, effectiveness of teachers’ professional potential is directly related to their individual axiological choices and reorientation of personal value system in the context of reforms that are under way in the higher education system. The most relevant ability of the day is the ability to lay down the most significant professional goals and to reveal within the role requirements new meaningful ideas and values, which would form a basis for their self-actualization.

When evaluating the normative dimension of journalistic professionalism, researchers note that it is related to the core values of professional journalism, manifested in the recognition and application of common professional ethical principles in journalistic activities. This allows us to identify the existence of the ethical dimension of journalistic professionalism. This study examines the ethical dimension of journalistic professionalism by analysing the attitudes of Lithuanian journalists towards the importance of ethical aspects, codified in the Code of Ethics in Providing Information to the Public of Lithuania (2016) for journalistic professionalism.

Abstract:The role of pesantren education, since several centuries ago has contributed greatly to social reality. This view is inseparable from the role of pesantren as the last moral bastion of all models of Islamic education, even seen as the oldest Islamic education in Indonesia. From the sociological persperctive, the portrait of the presence of pesantren gave birth to the values of local wisdom as a subculture of pesantren which is believed to be the core belief and core values towards the implementation of Islamic education in the midst of intense liberalism and fundamentalism. Therefore, to provide a holistic understanding of this study, the author uses the social constructiontheory betweendialectics i.e., externalization, objectivation and internalization. According to the theoritical perspective, the process of creating the value system above is part of the externalization which is believed as objectivation by society as the internalized value systemwithin pesantren. Such value internalizationbecomes a social capital of pesantren to developa moderate-inclusive pesantren education, as a consequence of liberalism and fundamantalism. Because essentially, the dynamics of pesantren education is always in contact with the its surrounding social reality (historical determinism and practical realism) this view gives birth to two models of education namely; pesantren is seen as cultural enlightenment, and the dynamics of pesantren education can be influenced by social reality, including the birth of liberalism and fundamentalism which contributed to colour pesantren education portrait;more significantly pesantren education emphasized on the principle of togetherness (ijtima'iyyah), justice  and tolerance (tasamuh) to social liberation (taharrur). الملخص: الدور  تربية المعهد الاسلامي، منذ عدة قرون مضت إلى حد كبير في الواقع الاجتماعي، لا يمكن فصلها وجهة نظر من مشية الصعود كما معقل الأخلاقي الماضي من كافة طرازات التربية الإسلامية، حتى يعتبر أقدم التربية الإسلامية في إندونيسيا. اجتماعيًا، وجود المعهد الاسلامي توليد القيم الحكمة المحلية، وثقافة فرعية داخلية التي يعتقد أن تكون قيمة خط الأساس,  لتنفيذ خضم التربية الإسلامية المتنامية الليبرالية والأصولية. لذلك، لتوفير فهم شامل لهذا البحث، يستخدم الباحث نظرية البناء الاجتماعي بين الديالكتيك (الخارجية, الداخلية, والموضوعية)  في نظرية وعملية خلق القيمة في النظام المذكور أعلاه، وهي جزء من نظرة الخارجية يعتقد أن الموضوعية من قبل الجمهور كنظام معدل الاستيعاب في المعهد, قيم استيعاب أعلاه، رأس المال الاجتماعي لبناء تربية المعهد الاسلامي معتدلة شاملة لنتيجة الليبرالية,و في الوقعية، ارتباط بين تربية  معهد الإسلامية هي مع الواقع , الحتمية التاريخية مع الواقعية العملية. أعطى هذا الرأي ولادة إلى نموذجين، وهي التعليم؛ المعهدالاسلامي ينظر إليها على أنها التنوير الثقافية, والتعليمية من المعهد الإسلامي يمكن أن تتأثر بالواقع الاجتماعي، بما في ذلك ولادة الليبرالية والأصولية التي تأخذ تربية المعاهد الإسلامية, مزيد من التركيز بشكل كبير على مبادئ العمل الجماعي والعدالة والتسامح لتحرير  الاجتماعي. Abstrak: Peran pendidikan pesantren, sejak beberapa abad yang lalu telah memberikan kontribusi besar terhadap realitas sosial, pandangan tersebut tidak lepas dari kiprah pesantren sebagai benteng moral terakhir dari segala model pendidikan Islam, bahkan dipandang sebagai pendidikan Islam tertua di Indonesia. Secara sosiologis, potret kehadiran pesantren melahirkan nilai-nilai kearifan lokal (local wisdom) sebagai subkultur pesantren yang diyakini menjadi nilai dasar (core belief and core values) terhadap penyelenggaraan pendidikan Islam di tengah gencarnya liberalisme dan fundamentalisme. Karena itu, untuk memberikan pemahaman holistik terhadap kajian ini, penulis menggunakan teori (social construction) antara dialektika (ekternalisasi, objektivasi dan internalisasi). Dalam perspektif teori, proses terciptanya sistem nilai di atas merupakan bagian dari ekternalisasi diyakini sebagai objektivasi oleh masyarakat sebagai sistem nilai internalisasi dalam pesantren. Internalisasi nilai-nilai di atas menjadi modal sosial (social capital) pesantren untuk membangun pendidikan pesantren moderat-inklusif, sebagai dampak dari liberalime dan fundamantalisme. Karena pada hakikatnya, dinamisasi pendidikan pesantren selalu bersentuhan dengan realitas sosial yang mengitarinya antara (determinisme historis dengan realisme praktis). Pandangan ini melahirkan dua model pendidikan, yaitu pesantren dipandang sebagai pencerahan kultural, dan dinamika pendidikan pesantren dapat pengaruhi oleh realitas sosial, termasuk lahirnya liberalisme dan fundamentalisme yang turut ikut mewarnai potret pendidikan pesantren, secara signifikan pendidikan pesantren lebih menekankan pada prinsip kebersamaan (ijtima’iyyah), keadilan (adalah) dan toleransi (tasamuh) menuju pembebasan (taharrur) sosial.

"Forrest Gump" bas been extraordinarily popular with the ordinary citizens and one of the reasons is self-evident: it presents a Jeffersonian confidence in the moral stalwartness of the yeoman citizenry that runs counter to some of the current approaches in ethics. The film celebrates a basic decency and a common sense that are accessible to all. No real or imagined superiority is required for one to partake. The film is not only popular but also populist in its assertion of the primacy of the ordinary citizen within this regime. In a political climate that now finds the tenure of elected officials uncertain and the legitimacy of public administration suspect, the visible portrayal of exemplary citizen virtues may serve as a timely reminder to all that, more so than any other regime, a democratic republic is ultimately and fundamentally dependent on the core values possessed by its citizenry.

In this essay, we are arguing that the field of organizational change and development is positioned to face the challenges of researching change and changing for the next decade and beyond. The core values in the field—that researching change and enacting changing are collaborative ventures undertaken in the present tense where the outcome is actionable knowledge, and that it serves the practical ends of organizations and generates the knowledge of how organizations change—are of utmost relevant for the emerging workplace and organizations. Through differentiated consciousness interiority challenges the polarizations that beset the field (between science and practice) and provides an integrative process focused on the operations of human knowing.

Benedict de Spinoza (1632–1677) was about the most radical of the early modern philosophers who developed a unique metaphysics that inspired an intriguing moral philosophy, fusing insights from ancient Stoicism, Cartesian metaphysics, Hobbes and medieval Jewish rationalism. While helping to ground the Enlightenment, Spinoza’s thoughts, against the intellectual mood of the time, divorced transcendence from divinity, equating God with nature. His extremely naturalistic views of reality constructed an ethical structure that links the control of human passion to virtue and happiness. By denying objective significance to things aside from human desires and beliefs, he is considered an anti-realist; and by endorsing a vision of reality according to which everyone ought to seek their own advantage, he is branded ethical egoist. This essay identified the varying influences of Spinoza’s moral anti-realism and ethical egoism on post-modernist thinkers who decried the “naïve faith” in objective and absolute truth, but rather propagated perspective relativity of reality. It recognized that modern valorization of ethical relativism, which in certain respects, detracts from the core values of the Enlightenment, has its seminal roots in his works.

Military physicians are often perceived to be in a position of ‘dual loyalty’ because they have responsibilities towards their patients but also towards their employer, the military institution. Further, they have to ascribe to and are bound by two distinct codes of ethics (i.e., medical and military), each with its own set of values and duties, that could at first glance be considered to be very different or even incompatible. How, then, can military physicians reconcile these two codes of ethics and their distinct professional/institutional values, and assume their responsibilities towards both their patients and the military institution? To clarify this situation, and to show how such a reconciliation might be possible, we compared the history and content of two national professional codes of ethics: the Defence Ethics of the Canadian Armed Forces and the Code of Ethics of the Canadian Medical Association. Interestingly, even if the medical code is more focused on duties and responsibility while the military code is more focused on core values and is supported by a comprehensive ethical training program, they also have many elements in common. Further, both are based on the same core values of loyalty and integrity, and they are broad in scope but are relatively flexible in application. While there are still important sources of tension between and limits within these two codes of ethics, there are fewer differences than may appear at first glance because the core values and principles of military and medical ethics are not so different.

Purpose This paper aims to highlight the accountability reporting objectives of four Māori-controlled organizations. The examples cited reflect the core values of the indigenous Māori people of New Zealand (Aotearoa) and help demonstrate how these values are manifest in the accountability reporting of Māori-controlled organizations. Design/methodology/approach Narrative sections of ten annual reports of two small and two large Maori organizations, drawn variously from their financial years ending in the calendar years 2009 to 2014, are read closely. These organizations represent diverse tribal and regional associations in terms of size, scope and structure; and in terms of the business, social and cultural activities they pursue. Findings Three core Māori values are identified: spirituality (wairuatanga); intergenerationalism and restoration (whakapapa); and governance, leadership and respect (mana and rangatiratanga). The commitment to these values and the way this commitment is reflected in accountability reports of Maori organizations, is presented. Originality/value The examples provided, and the associated discussion, should help inform reporting initiatives of organizations that are seeking better accountability in terms of their long-term engagement with indigenous communities, the environment and broader society.
