2. The author point out his conclusion: ethical choices are too dynamic and unpredictable to make a fixed code useful, practical guidelines to help information professionals act out of wisdom are offered.

Main part

1. Introduction

1The author describes the present terrible situation. On this basics ,he raise the question Does the system of ethics bear a partial responsibility for this state of affairs? How effective has been the role of ethical codes in medicine?

  2The author make a simple introduction about people’s response to above issues.

   (3)The aim of this article: My aim in these remarks is to raise and clarify some of the key issues with a major ethical aspect that information professionals must face in their various roles in the next few decades.

 4The conception of information professionalAn information professional makes his living by applying knowledge-based expertise to the solution of realproblems involving the organization, acquisition, processing, distribution, storage, and utilization of information

2.Some issues for information professionals and their ethical aspects:

   An information professional is faced with major questions about these developments ,which can be categorized into three points, and also there are a great amount of ethics conflicts in this professional .after these carefully analysis ,author put forward a new argument ,which is about the relationship between power and knowledge.

In this part ,the author from talking about the question which is raised in the previous section ,namely ,what is the relationship between the knowledge and power to discussing a special topic :A bill of rights, code of ethics? The he reaches a conclusion that exclusive reliance on a rigid, static code may be dangerous. In most cases, the systems flexible, and tolerates diversity and nonstandard individual judgments within limits.

                               阅读收获感想:

When I read the title of this article for the first time, Ethics and Information Science, I guess that the main issue of discussion could be about an applied ethical problem. The ethics includes three main parts: normative ethics, applied ethics, Meta-ethics.The meta-ethics is a product of integration of normative ethics which is fundamental part with modern social development.

After reading through this article ,I learn that the focal point of discussion is ethical problem in information professional, which is applying knowledge-based expertise to the solution of real problems involving the organization, acquisition, processing, distribution, storage, and utilization of information. The author is an American .His name is Manfred Kocken and he belong to Mental Health Research Institute, University of Michigan .

 In my personal opinion, the topic discussed in this essay is original and profound, for example ,the author raise an question” Are there principles for judging right and wrong? ”.which challenge the conventional ethical conception, who has the power to propose a set of standards of ethics? Where do the codes of ethics come from? All the questions above should be contemplated again.  I argue that all of fundamental principle which are not called into question or examination for a long time should be doubted .

While some of viewpoint in this essay is illuminating, there are must be criticized. The author makes some mistakes which is inclining to moral relativism. The people who hold this opinion believe that there are never a general criterion which people make behavior according to .In fact, when we see through the surface differences between cultures ,there are great same points ,so it is   absolutely possible for us to find a universal ethics.

写作方面的收获:

Great differences lie in writing styles between Chinese and English, which obviously presented in these articles. I will illustrate my point with an example .The author of this article come straight to the point .At the beginning of the paper. ,there is a sentence showing the conclusion, namely, While the article concludes that ethical choices are too dynamic and unpredictable to make a fixed code useful, practical guidelines to help information professionals act out of wisdom are offered .however ,Chinese people are be accustomed to reach the conclusion at the end of the paper .We should pay more attention to this differences so as to make our thesis more clear and easy to read.

Skimming through the whole article ,I summarize the train of thought is following :First ,make a description about present social facts and situation. Second, After analyzing the above facts ,he raise some question .Third ,discussion should be made about the questions. Fourth, how to solve this problem ,strive to give some measures, how should we do ?what should we accord to when we make actions? In my opinion ,the above line of through is a good method to take in our own writing, which is available for expanding our a simple argument into perfect articles.

In addition, I learn some idiomatic English expression and accumulate some academic vocabularies. such as codes of ethics ethical conflicts, ethical choices ,unethical behavior. In sum ,I attain a great deal of knowledge about writing from reading English essay ,but ,still I must work harder if I want to master the ways of learning and to train up them the aspirations and abilities for lifelong learning.
