Reporting the illegal exercise of the physical education professional: it should not be an ethical duty to not become an X9

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The ethics theme almost always leads society to dilemmas that demand deep reflections with answers to the most diverse situations with which it is confronted. OBJECTIVE: It was proposed to reflect on the commandments of the code of ethics of the Physical Education professional in denouncing the irregular/illegal exercise of the profession and the vision that society holds towards those who are a whistleblower. METHODS: We initially sought to discuss the ethics, morals and legality established in Brazilian legislation, which consequently serves as the basis for the formation of the Code of Professional Ethics. RESULTS: it brought up something that may seem to be a reason for complaint by the Professional Councils, namely, the lack of whistleblowers so that it can effectively carry out the due inspection and consequent penalty for the infractions carried out. Although it is not the subject of the present study, it was decided to describe the articles, in order to demonstrate that the penalties tend to favor criminality, even if with less offensive potential, they allow to infer that the crime pays off. The person makes a bet, goes to work and earns his salary, if they charge him, they charge him! CONCLUSION: Considering that the illegal exercise of the profession is a criminal offense with less offensive potential, it is inferred that it is worth exercising the profession illegally until it is denounced or inspected, as there will be no greater consequences than providing community service and paying basic food baskets; with the possibility that none of this will materialize. In this case, it is admitted that the criminal offense still pays off to be practiced in Brazil in the case of illegal exercise of the Physical Education profession.
