1. How do the three key elements of communication—choice, values, and
consequences—shape ethical communication across diverse contexts?
Ethical communication is guided by the choices we make, the values we uphold, and the
awareness of potential consequences.
-Choice involves deciding what information to share and how to express it. Ethical
communicators prioritize honesty and respect in these decisions.
-Values serve as a moral foundation, directing our communication toward integrity, fairness,
and empathy.
-Consequences remind us that our words and actions can impact others emotionally,
socially, and professionally.
2. How do choice, moral agency, and responsibility interact to influence ethical
communication in interpersonal and organizational contexts?
These three aspects work together to shape how we communicate ethically:
-Choice allows individuals the freedom to determine their responses and communication
style.
-Moral agency recognizes that every choice carries ethical importance, and we are
accountable for our decisions.
-Responsibility involves accepting the outcomes of our communication.
3. Provide examples of how you can apply the Principle of Veracity to maintain truthfulness
in everyday conversations.
The Principle of Veracity highlights the importance of honesty and avoiding deceit. Examples
include:
-Admitting when you don’t know something instead of pretending.
-Offering honest and accurate feedback rather than telling others only what they want to
hear.
-Avoiding the spread of false information or rumors, especially online.
-Correcting any misinformation once you realize an error.
4. Provide ways to consult your conscience and peers when making ethical communication
decisions in your daily interactions
-Consulting your conscience: Take time to reflect before speaking. Ask yourself, “Is this fair,
kind, and truthful?” or “Would I be okay if someone said this about me?”
-Consulting peers: When facing an ethical dilemma, seek guidance from trusted friends,
mentors, or colleagues to gain insight and perspective.
-Pause and evaluate: If uncertain, take a moment before responding to consider the ethical
implications.
5. Provide situations where considering the long-term consequences of your communication
can help you act ethically.
-At work: Avoiding gossip helps preserve your professional reputation and promotes
workplace harmony.
-In relationships: Being truthful about your feelings prevents future misunderstandings.
-On social media: Thinking carefully before posting prevents offending others or harming
your image.
By reflecting on long-term effects, communicators can prevent regret, conflict, and unethical
behavior.
6. Provide examples of how the Golden Rule can influence your communication choices in
both personal and professional settings
-Personal: Listen attentively to friends, just as you’d want them to listen to you.
-Professional: Give feedback in a polite and constructive manner, the way you’d like to
receive it.
-Online: Avoid harsh or sarcastic comments because you wouldn’t appreciate them directed
at you.
