Question #4
When physicians embark upon their professional careers they swear (explicitly or implicitly) the Hippocratic Oath, an excerpt from which is provided below:

"I swear by Apollo the physician, by Aesculapius, Hygeia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment the following Oath: To consider dear to me as my parents him who taught me this art; ... to look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art if they so desire without fee or written promise; ... I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug, nor give advice which may cause his death. ... But I will preserve the purity of my life and my art. ... In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction. ... All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or outside my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal. If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot."

Write a similar oath for an information professional.
