Beyond Processes and Tools: What about Ethics?TechWell
Too often we focus only on the latest headline-grabbing processes and products. While recognizing that we must respond to ever-changing business needs, deep down we know we must live by a few absolutes as we approach our daily work. At the core is a standard of ethical conduct that we always uphold. With an ethical underpinning, we will earn the trust and respect of our peers and those we serve. Jackie Pulley presents a framework for professional ethics within the IT development profession, including key practices from her experiences gained during more than twenty years in IT software development. Drawing on the PMI ethics standards, her personal lessons learned, and conversations with other leaders, Jackie offers a thought-provoking session for C-Level executives, freshly degreed software developers, and everyone in between. Based on a personal assessment you take in the session, you can walk away with a personal standard of ethical conduct to live by everyday.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This chapter introduces the long-overlooked notion of accountability, and serves as a
reference point for ethical considerations throughout the text and the course. Students need
to understand that their communications choices have definite ethical consequences, and
that standards of usefulness and persuasiveness have as corollaries standards of honesty
and fairness.
Chapter 4 further expands our definition of the communication problem faced by workplace
writers:
1. “How do I give readers the information they need?” (The Information Problem)
2. “How can I get the response I want?” (The Persuasion Problem)
3. “How can I do the right thing?” (The Ethics Problem)
The focus here is on ethical dilemmas in the workplace and on the causes and effects of
deliberate miscommunication.
Here is a dilemma we face as writing teachers who could presume to teach ethics at all:
Should we advance the organizational perspective (which tends to stress professional
competence and the organization’s welfare) or the academic perspective (which tends to
stress social good)? One researcher points out that the first perspective engenders ethical
equivocation, while the second imposes rarefied standards that are seen as unrealistic in
the world of work. [See Gregory Clark’s lucid and insightful article, “Ethics in Communication:
A Rhetorical Perspective,” IEEE Transactions in Professional Communication 30.3
(September 1987): 190–196.]
This chapter aims at a balance (albeit tenuous) between equivocal and polemical viewpoints
by taking a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, approach to the ethics problem:
namely, by examining the issues and inviting readers to draw their own conclusions.
