Three ideas to implement ethics worldwide-Answer 1st Question Davos

This video is my answer to the first question for the Davos debate: "Should company executives have a code of ethics similar to doctors and lawyers?"

I try to answer the question in the most illustrative way by giving real examples.

I start my videos by saying that "I am a carpenter born and raised in Ecuador, South America, but I am also a research fellow in Harvard University" This is true.

When little, I had many limitations, but thanks to constant efforts, I could finish my university degree, won scholarships for masters and doctorate degrees in Canada and currently working as research fellow in Harvard University. I worked as carpenter to finance my studies.

In order to participate in the contest, I had to learn how to make clips. These are actually my first videos, then for sure they have mistakes, so please, your comments and suggestions are welcome.

The ideas I present are based in simple facts: Codes of ethics for company executives DO exist. The problem is with their diffusion even among each one of us.

Thanks mlang52,

I cannot comment what medical doctors decide to do with their professions. If they put the money in front of the patients well-being, it is their right. My objective in citing the code of ethics from Japan was to put an example and compare it with the code of ethics for executive companies. Also I personally know doctors (in my own country) that are willing to fulfill the Hippocratic Oath.

I appreciate very much your comment. Thanks.

I could complain about your accent, but then my Spanish abilities do not compare to your English! Being a physician, (no longer able to work)your post of of one of the codes of ethics for doctors floored me! There is not one doctor whose intent nowadays (at least not working) who puts his patients well being above the money! I feel that is part of the reason I was forced out of medical practice. I doubt if there are any doctors who practice without letting the income influence what they do!
