The concept of professionalism is defined as the conception or model of professionalism. The term professionalism suggests that one person having proficiency in a particular area of education. This proficiency in one field can be earned by assembling knowledge in that area of the profession, collecting more and information on that topic, and learning it for many years (Freidson, 2014). In other words, professionalism can be defined as the specific features of the person with which he can have the ability to teach. Taking any particular field or work as a profession is referred to as the concept of professionalism (Malin, 2011).

A professional person needs to maintain their focus and aim regarding their profession. They need to sustain the self-interest in their certain selected profession. Here, the self-interest will be sustained if the person gets good earning, a good social status, some social and economical power and protection, and safety from their job place. Professionalism can also be referred to as the occupation of a person or group of people which makes them different from other occupations or order of work (Kultgen, 2014). The concept of professionalism can be impacted by various factors. The factors can be stated as cultural factors, environmental factors, legal factors, and factors related to humanity. Professionalism is divided into three classifications and they are:
