Occupational normalization
The standardization of occupation should include two meanings: one is the requirement of standardized operation within the occupation, and the other is the standardization of professional ethics. Different occupations have certain operating norms in their labor process, which is the professional requirement to ensure professional activities. When different occupations show their services to the outside world, there is also a standardized ethical category, that is, professional ethics. These two norms constitute the connotation and extension of professional norms.
