Colorado State University Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct Discussion

I’m working on a management discussion question and need support to help me learn.

The course module lecture introduced the Project Management Institute’s “Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct” as a benchmark for ethical standards in project management.

• Identify a global project-related event that was publicized recently (within the past 18 months) with ethical implications (positive or negative). Select an event not already dominating the discussion forum.
• Produce a 30-second audio-video “news brief”, with closed caption or transcript, of the project-related event including relevant facts.
• Introduce and post your news brief as a portion of your initial commentary response. Then, relate the central values of the “Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct” to the project-related event.

Post a well-supported, substantive, and persuasive argument to this question. Your document should be a minimum of 250-300 words. Incorporate and cite a minimum of two current (between 2019-now) credible references.
