FUNDAMENTALS OF
ETHICAL COMMUNICATION
FUNDAMENTALS OF
ETHICAL COMMUNICATION
Ethical communication assumes that communicated
information is always presented (and received by the
listener) according to one's subjective perception, even if
only in the most minimal way, and thus the goal of ethical
communication is to be as objective as possible when
communicating with others and to ensure that every
recipient receives the same message.
CONSIDERATION FOR ANY POTENTIAL
BARRIER IN ETHICAL COMMUNICATION
When communicating with another party, truly ethical
communication entails considering any potential factor that may
influence how the recipient understands - or receives - the
information that is being communicated. If there are any known
roadblocks, then ethical communication principles dictate that the
speaker/communicator utilize whatever means possible to mitigate or
attenuate the roadblocks and ensure that the recipients of the
information are able to fully understand what is being communicated.
POTENTIAL BARRIER IN
ETHICAL COMMUNICATION:
Language use Language fluency
Jargon Accessibility to technology
