Ethical Communication

1. ETHICAL COMMUNICATION

2. “IN EVERYTHING, DO TO OTHERS AS YOU
WOULD HAVE THEM DO TO YOU: FOR
THIS IS THE LAW OF THE PROPHETS”—
NEW TESTAMENT, GOSPEL OF MATTHEW.

3. Our relationships with others are built upon
communication we do every day as we go by our
daily human activities. When we engage with others,
we seek for understanding, cooperation, and the
accomplishment of our goals. No matter how simple or
complex our interactions, we influence each other
through communication.

4. WE MUST PAY ATTENTION ON HOW WE
BEHAVE AND HOW WE COULD CREATE
UNDERSTANDING WITH OTHERS.

5. THE INFLUENCE WE DO MAY BE POSITIVE
OR NEGATIVE OR, GOOD OR BAD. THUS,
WE MUST ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WITH OUR
COMMUNICATION WITH OTHERS.

7. WHAT IS ETHICS?
ETHICS IS DEFINED AS THE “DISCUSSION,
DETERMINATION, AND DELIBERATION PROCESSES THAT
ATTEMPT TO DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG, WHAT
OTHERS SHOULD DO OR SHOULD NOT DO, AND WHAT IS
CONSIDERED APPROPRIATE IN OUR INDIVIDUAL,
COMMUNAL, AND PROFESSIONAL LIVES” (BY, BURNES, &
OSWICK, 2012; JAPPS, MEISTER, & JAPP, 2005;
JOHANNENSEN, VALDES, & WHEDBEE, 2008).

9. ETHICS IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF
COMMUNICATION

10. PEOPLE HAVE TO OBSERVE AND FOLLOW VIRTUES
AND VALUES OR A SYSTEM OF MORAL PRINCIPLES
WHICH GUIDE THEM IN DOING WHAT IS RIGHT. IN
ANCIENT INDIA, THERE IS GREAT EMPHASIS ON
“TRUTHFULNESS” WHICH IS CONSIDERED AS THE
GREATEST SERVICE ONE PERSON CAN RENDER
ANOTHER” (KIRKWOOD, 2013).

11. ETHICAL COMMUNICATION
ETHICS IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF COMMUNICATION.
AS HUMAN BEINGS, OUR DAILY INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERS
INVOLVE COMMUNICATION. WHEN WE COMMUNICATE, WE
DECIDE WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OR PURPOSES OF OUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS. WE MUST DECIDE HOW TO BEHAVE
AND RESPOND TO THE SITUATION. WE MUST GIVE REGARD TO
THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR ACTIONS TO OTHERS, AND
OURSELVES.

12. HOW DO YOU TELL YOUR FRIEND THAT HE OR SHE IS
NOT BEING HONEST WITH YOU IN SUCH A WAY IT
WOULD NOT AFFECT YOUR RELATIONSHIP?

13. HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND TO A NEIGHBOR WHOSE
KARAOKE NIGHTS DISTURB THE PEACE AND QUIETNESS
OF YOUR HOME?

14. HOW DO YOU TELL YOUR BOSS ABOUT YOUR CO-
EMPLOYEE WHO SLACKS ON HIS JOB AND HOW IT
AFFECTS YOUR TEAM’S WORK?

15. WHAT WE SAY AND DO ON THESE SITUATIONS WOULD
HAVE IMPLICATION TO YOU AND OTHERS.

16. LISTEN WHEN OTHERS SPEAK.
