  abstract =     "We all have ideas about our local, national, and
                 global professional code of ethics. But, we do not
                 really know for sure how they interact. With the growth
                 of global business practices, information technology
                 (IT) professionals are wandering in a circle when it
                 comes to ethical dilemmas. Which ethical standards
                 should they follow? Should they adhere to their local
                 IT professional standards; should they swear allegiance
                 to their national IT vision, their country and its
                 cultural and historical influences on professional IT
                 practices? Or, should they give in to the global set of
                 ethical behaviors dictated by their global employer
                 when power, profit and politics impose new codes of
                 ethics across the whole world. Furthermore, with the
                 new structures of the global organizations, the global
                 market has a pool of professionals and each one of them
                 has his/her own interpretation of their own respective
                 code of ethics. All these issues will certainly leave
                 our young professional graduates in a state of divided
                 loyalty. Whichever way our IT graduates choose, they
                 are bound to have conflicts. The pursuit of good
                 ethical practices is indeed a desirable aim. But,
                 anyone waiting for a standard global solution is in a
                 deep trouble, because there is none. This paper will
                 propose a framework aimed at providing a contribution
                 towards the socialization of students' self-regulated
                 multicultural societies through international student
                 exchange programs. The aim of the framework is to
                 create a suitable environment where students can and
                 will develop, assess, review and educate their own
                 professional code of ethics for the current and future
                 members of their students' mini-societies. This will
                 eventually prepare them to be active participants in
                 the bigger debate dealing with the issue of global
                 professional code of ethics.",
