Answer to Question 1

Professions are high-status, knowledge-based occupations that have five major
characteristics: 1 . Abstract, specialized knowledgeprofession als have abstract,
specialized knowledge of their field based on formal education and interaction with
colleagues. Education provides the credentials, skills, and training that allow
professionals to have job opportunities and assume positions of authority within
organizations. 2 . Autonomyprofessiona ls are autonomous in that they can rely on
their own judgment in selecting the relevant knowledge or the appropriate technique
for dealing with a problem. 3 . Selfregulationprofe ssionals are theoretically
self-regulating. All professionals have licensing, accreditation, and regulatory
associations that set professional standards and that require members to adhere to a
code of ethics as a form of public accountability. 4 . Authorityprofession als expect
compliance with their directions and advice. Their authority is based on mastery of the
body of specialized knowledge and on their profession's autonomy. 5 . Altruism
professionals have concern for others, not just their own self-interest. Certain
professions are undergoing a process of deprofessionalizati on in which some of the
characteristics of a profession are eliminated. Occupations such as pharmacist have
already been deskilled.
