Because no individual operates in society independently, people are connected to each other in one way or another and you have a responsibility to act ethically to yourself; to your discipline and profession; to your academic institution; to your employer; to your colleagues; and to the public. For instance, you might need to conceal information about your employer and not share it with individuals outside of your organization, and you must support the public good and act to share this information if it affects their livelihood.
