PROFESSIONALISM

Professions originated out of society’s need for the expert application of specialized knowledge. In order for professions to most effectively provide that expert knowledge, they need autonomy. That autonomy is based on trust; trust between society and the profession, and trust among the members of the profession. This trust is based on shared values, and demonstrated actions in accordance with these values.* Rear Adm. P. Gardner Howe III, President, U.S. Naval War College Review, Autumn 2015, Vol. 68, No. 4.
