Abstract
North American graduate psychology programs provide ethics course whose mission is to foster "ethical acculturation" into professional ethics. However, international psychology ethics codes are formulated and expressed differently. There is no consideration regarding cultural context evident in the literature. We need to address how culture permeates ethics and ethical codes.
