What are modifiers in the Ethics Code and why are they used?

What will be an ideal response?


A modifier is a word or phrase that qualifies the meaning of an ethical rule. They include such terms as appropriate, potentially, to the extent feasible, and attempt to. Their use is necessary to eliminate injustice or inequality that would occur without the modifier. Modifiers also guard against language that would create rigid rules that would be quickly outdated.
