Write a short essay (about 150-200 words) explaining how the process of communication is
affected by the principles and ethics related to it.
Humans rely on communication to express personal desires of what needs to be done, and how it
is to be done. In a business, this is most important for both managers and employees to
effectively express what they want done, and how they want it to be done. Typically,
communication will include two or more communicators and receivers, and spoken
communication will often illicit a reply from the initial receiver. As a set of principles, ethical
communication understands that one’s thoughts must be conveyed and expressed effectively and
concisely, and that the resulting actions or consequences will [potentially] be based solely on
how the message was communicated. Any attempt to mislead or present confusing information is
not 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. A satisfying life also
develops as a result of developing trusting and caring relationships with others and that comes
from making ethical choices.
