Ethics and Morality
Ethics is about what we should – and should not - do. It includes identification of basic principles, e.g. the prerogatives of property owners; and the application of those principles to actual situations, e.g. copyright protection of intellectual property over the Internet.

What are the ten ethics of publishing?
I am not sure there are only ten. In fact, there are many more, and it depends on what kind of publisher you are asking about. Here are a few examples of ethics in publishing. As a publisher of an academic book (a textbook that students and faculty will rely on), I would have an ethical duty to publish honest, factual, unbiased material. I would have an ethical duty to avoid plagiarism and to seek out respected experts in the fields in which I am publishing books or essays. And I would want to avoid conflict of interest-- let's say it's a journalism textbook. I should not have someone who is being paid by a certain group (like an advertising agency or a political party) writing an article about that group, since they would probably not be totally objective in what they write.
If I were publishing medical books, I would also have a duty to assure the confidentiality of any person used in a case study, and to get permission if I want to use a person's name. (If I cannot get permission, then I need to use a pseudonym to protect the person's privacy.) Further, I would have a duty to only publish peer-reviewed and unbiased studies, rather than studies paid for by some drug company or medical device company that wants to insert favorable material about themselves into an article. (Nothing wrong with publishing material about some drug or some device, but the testing must be objective, and money must not influence the results.)

What are the morality of judaism?
There is a general debate as to whether Morality (as an individual concept) exists within Judaism altogether. The general principle of Judaism is based upon a dual concept of "Love of God" and "Love of thy fellow". These work hand in hand. One cannot love God if he does not love another, and one cannot love another if he does not love God. The Ethics of the Fathers (Pirkei Avot), part of the canon of the Mishna (completed in the 3rd century) has many aphorisms which would be akin to what would be called modern day "morality" examples include "Do not look at the container, but rather [look] at what is within it" "Give mind to three things, and you will never come to sin: Know from whence you came, to where you will come, and in front of whom you will need to report; From whence you came, from a stenchful drop; to where you will come, to a place of dust, worms, and flys; in front of whom will you need to report, in front of the Holy One, Blessed Be He" "The one who says "What is mine is mine, and what is yours is also mine" is wicked. He who says "What is mine is mine, what is yours is yours" is acceptable. He who says "What is mine is yours, what is yours is mine" is a fool. And he who says "What is mine is yours and what is yours is also yours" is pious"
Briefly,
John Rawls is best known for his liberal theory of justice, or justice as fairness. Its defining characteristic is its acknowledgment that society is made up of individuals who espouse many disparate beliefs and conceptions of 'the good.' Government of a society which is based on certain conceptions of the good-- religious, moral, etc-- causes problems because people whose views differ end up straight disrespected by law.
To establish the basic rules for the government of society, Rawls discusses what he calls "the original position" (OP). In OP, subjects are placed behind a veil of ignorance. Behind the veil we are not aware of our sex, class, intelligence, physical ability, or anything else that would distinguish us in the normal world. Subjects in OP are granted rationality, self-interestedness, knowlege that resources are moderately scarce, and the knowledge that there are many others under the same conditions and asked to pick the basic rules by which their society should be governed.
Choosing principles behind veil of ignorance ensures they are not tailored to favour anyone in any particular position. The simplest way to look at it is to imagine being assigned the task of cutting up a pie without knowing which piece you're going to get. You want to be certain you get the biggest piece, so you'll cut the pie into perfectly even pieces.
The principals Rawls arrives at are:
1) Each person shall be allowed the most extensive scheme of liberty compatible with a similar scheme for everyone else.
2) a) Offices of power shall be attached to positions open to all. b) Inequality must benefit the least advantaged.
With the basic rights established, the idea is that everyone is able to pursue their conceptions of the good, as long as it doesn't entail hoarding resources or inhibiting others' ends. Rawls's theory of justice is related to Kant's Metaphysics of Morals because of the importance it places on the individual will, each person as an end in him/herself and locating the right prior to the good.
Why is a strong sense of ethical responsibility vital for public speakers?
Public speakers exercise their voice, opinion and promote a message which is heard by a wide audience. Given the assumption that anyone who engages in public speaking must be some sort of expert, they are given a certain sense of credibility whether it is earned or not. Thus they have the power to move public impression and action. To speak without ethical responsibility, the use of inflammatory oratory can lead to mob like behavior and other dangerous results.

Examples of ethical standards and moral standards within a salon?
Ethical Standards and Moral Standards For A Salon:
- The Salon should be sure they have well trained staff.
- The products used on customers should be good products and not the cheaper ones.
- Keeping all combs, brushes, etc., sterilized and the salon sparkling clean.
- Have someone constantly sweep the floor of any hair, etc.
- Tell some customers that want certain hairstyles to bring in a picture or look through the magazines you should have in the hair salon as to exactly what style they are looking for. Teens especially want to copy actors hairstyles.
- If your customer has thin hair and wants a style where you know their hair is not the right texture be honest with them and let them know that the hairstyle will be difficult for them to manage. If they insist then be sure they understand that you will do your best.
- Do not push your products, but, if a customer has a problem with their hair being dry; too oily, etc., suggest a product to them and then leave it up to them to decide if they want to use that product.
- Be one jump ahead of other salons and do up different scalp to hair problems on the computer on WORD (this can also cover Alopecia ... bald patches on mainly women) or dandruff, etc. Give them informative information.
- If the customer does not receive what they asked for or if something such as streaking; perms, etc., do not turn out it would be good PR to not charge your customer and have them come back at a later date for free service.
- Keeping records of what combination's of color is used on the customers that have their hair dyed or streaked; permed, etc. Also what hairdresser(s) they prefer to work on their hair.
- If your customers favorite hairdresser is going on vacation be sure and let them know so they have the opportunity to book with that hairdresser before she leaves.
- If a customer has made an appointment with their personal hairdresser and that hairdresser is ill then be courteous and phone the customer explaining the problem and suggest another one of your hairdressers that you trust.
- Offering tea, coffee or wine (depending if you want a high end Salon ... wine is generally served and sometimes fruit or small tid bits to eat.) It is not necessary to serve wine or food if you are running a moderate Salon.
- The quote 'the customer is always right' still applies to this day. If you have a rude or miserable customer that is not pleased no matter how much you do for them then you have the right to ask them to go to another salon.
