Abstract
The steps to a professional deontology are as follows:
a) determination of the “terminal behaviour” ( professional ability of the designer that shall be described carefully and completely)
b) choice and individuation of the considered deontology ( complex of principles and criteria to guide the actions of the human being determined in relation to a given ideology)
The reference point is the “civil ideology”, a general respect for the human being and good expressed by the “four questions” of the Rotary International: it is true? It is right?
It is an amelioration of the relations between human beings?it is an advantage for all other persons.
c) comparison between steps a) and b): the ethic action of the designer could be deducted.
