Ethical Considerations in Communication
Ethics is a branch of philosophy that focuses on issues of right and wrong in human
affairs.
Ethical communicators:
1. Respect audience.
2. Consider the result of communication.
3. Value truth.
4. Use information correctly.
5. Do not falsify information.
Key Ideas:
1. Communication is for all, anywhere, anytime.
2. Respect is number one ethical value that is needed for a better communication.
Meaning, to avoid miscommunication, simply respect one’s beliefs and opinions. Never
question.
