- Looking forward to
@CollegeofSW &@BASW_UK views in today’s debate on Code of Ethics: Separating the Personal from Professional.#SWSCmedia - Welcome Everyone to our debate on “Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct: Separating the Personal from Professional”
#SWSCmedia - The idea of separating personal from professional & professional assoc having to regulate & discipline their members >>
#SWSCmedia - and to constrain their behaviour extends back at least into the Middle Ages when 14th century England, when >>
#SWSCmedia - craft & parish guilds were asked to ensure their members didn’t commit fraud, instigate unrest, etc. & if a member misbehaved, >>
#SWScmedia - it was the obligation of the guild to bring the member’s behaviour back in-line with acceptable norms and statutes.
#SWSCmedia - The relationship btwn individual, groups & society has been of interest since Greek Hellenic philosophers thru the present era,
#SWSCmedia - & has been framed in many ways including discourses of individualism vs collectivism, the self, & other sociological discourses.
#SWSCmedia - Research and literature suggest that distinctions between the personal and the professional are rooted in cultural values.
#SWSCmedia - So our 1st Q is: where socmed has blurred most boundaries, is it still possible to separate the personal & professional?
#SWSCmedia - & if yes, how do you do it? How do you practically separate the personal from professional?
#SWSCmedia
The above was followed by a dynamic sharing of views amongst all participants.
