COMMUNICATION AND ETHICS (page
11)
Ethics is a set of moral
principles that may be held
in a society, a group, or an
individual.
An ethical standard does
not indicate exactly what to
do in any given situation,
but it can tell what general
principles consider when
deciding how to behave.
The general principles that guide
ethical communication include that
communicators should:
Be honest and
responsible
Act with integrity
Behave fairly
Demonstrate respect
