ETHICAL ISSUES HR SPECIALISTS, TRAINERS, OR EDUCATORS MUST DEAL WITH WHEN PRESENTING TO CURRENT ADULT LEARNERS. There are many definitions for ethics: According to Compton (2007), ethics means a system of moral principles; the rules of conduct recognized; the rightness and wrongness of certain actions. But there is only one clear, consistent guideline for incorporating ethical practices when presenting: Ethical conduct starts with the Presenter.

A variety of uncomfortable situations may arise, First, Presenters may be friendly with their learners, but friendships between presenters and learners are tricky and have the potential to hurt both parties involved. Second, presenters themselves need
