Problem: Choose two professional societies. Access their public websites. Review their standards and codes of ethics. Then write a 2 to 3 page paper using APA format for references, on how those espoused standards and ethics compare to each other and to the textbook readings for this module. You will need to review each organization’s standards slightly in order to compare and contrast them.
