Reading For the Strength of Youth and ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct I noticed how different they are in appearance and how the underlying principles they describe are the same. The first publication is by the LDS Church while the second is by the ACM Council, so they are written in different styles: counsel and professional guidelines. The principles of honesty, integrity, and respect to your colleagues/fellow men are emphasized in both readings. Both publications discuss morality standards, personal accountability, and leadership imperatives. However, the first article teaches us how to live our lives properly, not only how to have good professional conduct. In fact, following all the guidelines in the first article could eliminate the need for the second article. The purpose of the second article is merely to walk the individuals not familiar with LDS standards through the proper behavior guidelines at the workplace. If you already live by LDS standards, you may read the second article just to find the standards that you may derive yourself through common sense. Yet no matter how good you are, it’s necessary to review the Code of Ethics to be familiar with the details of corporate culture.
