A code of conduct is always more than a list of rules. It is an expression of the values and an extensive definition of the policies of the segment for which that code has been formulated. A written code of conduct has little or no value in and of itself if it is not consistent with the long-term goals and practices. A well thought-out code of conduct is a meaningful, useful document that the members of the segment actually use whereas a provisional, perfunctory code of conduct is an unpleasant reminder of the tendency of the segment to compensate for its own shortsightedness by means of rules and regulations.
Whenever we formulate code of conduct for a particular segment, we must define the goal of demarcating that segment, its contribution and values to the society, its responsibilities and rights as well. It must provide the punitive action if the code is not followed by any of the member(s). We must solicit the opinions of the members of the segment so that once enforced, they must have answerability. There must always be review from time to time to adjust according to the changing circumstances, traditions and new inventions/discoveries. If we all work according to the pre-set codes, we feel that there would be peaceful living environment for all whatever sort of economy we may implement for the welfare of our society and our nation as a whole.
