AB Nations,  communities,  professional  organizations,  and  their  leaders  aspire  to  uphold  values  that  are  respected  by  the  group  as  a  whole.  These  values,  at  the  core  of  group  identity,  set  the  tone  for  ethical  conduct  among  group  members.  There  is  often  concern  about  questions  of  “right”  and  “wrong,”  with  moral  values,  human  rights,  and  duties  pertaining  to  behavior  as  a  member  of  the  group.  Norms  of  ethical  conduct  are  sought  for  the  group,  anchored  in  its  core  values.  In  this  way,  professional  organizations,  like  society  at  large,  distinguish  between  acceptable  and  unacceptable  conduct.  Moral  philosophy  provides  frameworks  for  dealing  with  beliefs  and  practices  and  provides  the  basis  for  ethical  conduct.
