Technology has changed society throughout history. Over the last few decades, cellular devices, iPads, iPods, computers, and most importantly the internet have completely overhauled the way people interact in society and the way educators work in schools (Sutton 2013). Technology implementation in schools is pivotal to student success post high school due to the changing times and high demands for tech savvy personnel. It is imperative that teachers of the 21st century adjust to the technological revolution and not only prepare themselves but prepare their students for the technological real world. Technology has changed the way society looks, and the way the classroom looks and there will be no return to chalk boards and writing letters.
Professionalism is defined as: competence or skill expected of a professional. If corporate officials do not conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times, it could have dire consequences that may result in disciplinary measures being taken.
Ethics are simply defined as what is wrong vs what is right. Different things in the world will have different ideas of what is regarded wrong or right. Also, what is ethical might not be legal, but what is unethical may be legal.

Problems in the relationship may cause tension in the workplace; if one partner is at a higher position than the other, they may be accused of preferential treatment…the list goes on, hence it can be seen as unprofessional by some people to have romantic relationships with colleagues, as in the case of Nick and Dana.
Nick asks his brother-in-law for employment after losing his job. When his new-boss gets distracted, he gives Nick the job on the spot. The problem is that he gets distracted too easily, and by things that are unflattering-like pretty ladies. He then proceeds to make inappropriate gestures(18:05) with his customer, and is rude to other customers. Always put the customer first as they influence your business’s success.
