Ethics within my Professional Practice

When considering the ethics which revolve around my professional practice - I composed a rough list that consisted of:

• Honesty with actors when you are providing them with a filming service
• The cost of Spotlight UK self tape service compared to Spotlight Ireland
• The level of self promotion on social media - the personal and professional distinction becomes blurred
• Nudity clauses in the audition process

Furthermore, whilst discussing 'ethical considerations' at the campus session last week - it dawned on me that we make ethical considerations daily. They don't have to be soemthing of a mystery. Here are a few ethical considerations I noted surrounding the area of my line of inquiry (appearance, self-tape auditions, film industry) -

• What qualifies as professional maintenance rather than vanity?
• Is the use of social media a safe method to promote yourself professionally?
• Making assumptions about people
• Ageism within the film industry - are we judged on our playing age? 
• Is self taping a true reflection of oneself?
• Did I consider nudity clauses within an audition brief?

With ethical considerations we are guided to form a valid opinion based on the thought and facts we have done / gathered surrounding the consideration. Throughout the study of module 2 I hope to form opinions on these areas of ethical considerations, along with accumulating more.
