"A professional designer shall avoid projects that will result in harm to the public."
So what exactly is harm?
Are there any objective grounds for defining harm?
Is physical harm less subjective?
Is harm implicit in change?
Who constitutes "the public"?(added 02/12 9:00 pm)
I think we could all benefit from trying to answer some of these questions. Comments please.

-I believe that harm is something that has a negative impact on the client, consumer, audience, or society as a whole. From a designer's stand point, it would be harmful to lead people under false pretenses, from allowing the client believe that you are capable of doing something and then performing poorly lake to knowledge and skill, reflecting on them because often the designer works behind the client and not directly with the public. Then there is also the other perspective of consumers, audience, and the general public if a designer was to educating them without doing the appropriate research or even try to sway them under complete biased opinion. This can begin to show the power of conformity that designers are capable of.
-Going off what just said that a strong bias can be harmful it could be something that people do not want to conform but may need to knowledgeable on the subject. There are many example of political posters that many may find offensive and "harmful" to their world; people may not want to see negative slander on what they believe in.
-I'm not sure if i understand the last 2 questions??
I am wondering if it means controversial ideas or radical thoughts through design. It that case harm may qualify as possible offensive or interruption of daily activity but that's the point isn't it? to be bold and make a statement? but then the public maybe simplified into a directed audience instead of a general one? I feel it all depends on the circumstance and situations.
