Task 5a: Workplace ethics

For this task we have to think about ethics that apply to our workplace and the dance community. This turned out to be harder than expected because most of it is common sense, therefore it took longer to consider that aswell. Here are a few points I came up with so far:

• No stealing

• No racism - everybody no matter what religion/ethnicity he or she is has to be treated equally

• Copyright - make sure you have the right to use music, film material, sheet music

• No bullying - both from teachers aswell as children

• Professional conduct - in college that would be f.i. No student - teacher relationships;                  - within a workplace it would mean to behave professionally and like an employee/student towards choreographers/teachers even though you're friends outside the dance studio

I think most of these are common sense so when it actually comes to writing down paper what we should actually be thinking about ethically, it's hard forus to do so. Those are only a few of many ethics that have to be considered in a workplace.
