When the government is responding to situations that require cultural sensitivity (with the FBI, CIA, and/or military), they are looking for a specific outcome (predetermined). However the cultural identity of the suspect (subject) may not allow them to arrive at that outcome in the way they want. This is where a binding ethics code could help the anthropologist. Knowing whose advocate you are legally & ethically could relieve anthropologists of pressure from the CIA/FBI that would bend those of little moral integrity.<BR/><BR/>And if ethical code would help with maintaining professional integrity, would you recommend a missionary code of ethics as well?
