INSTRUCTIONS: Answer the following questions using your own thoughts or ideas:
1. What does communication mean?
In my opion,communication is the process of exchanging ideas,messages,or
information of two or more people. We use it in our everyday,and it is the reason behind
our interaction and understanding in the society.
2. How important is communication to your personal and professional success?
Personally, communication is highly significant for me because it is my major
means of interacting towards other people. Good communication bridges my gaps
towards introverted people that orbits me.As an aspiring teacher,it is vital for me to
develop good communication skills because it will enable me to effectively project my
self towards my future students,and in living my profession.

CHOSEN COMMUNICATIVE SITUATION:
This situation is actually a real life scenario that had happened to me and my classmates
this academic year. In a virtual meeting from one of our subjects,our instructor was discussing
his lesson about literature and its interrelatedness to society. However,his voice was somehow
inaudible due to the poor internet connection from where he was at. Also,there was a cacophony
coming from his background that made things even worse. As a result,everyone in the virtual
room didn't manage to understand what he was saying; so,some of my classmates informed him.
In response to the situation,our instructor went to another area, somewhere open and silent,and
then the class discussions finally went well.
NARRATIVE:,
For context,the above mentioned communicative situation occured in a virtual room,via
online—in Google meet,for a synchronous meeting of a specific subject. The instructor,who was
the source or the disseminator of information in the communication process was flawlessly
discussing his lesson to his students — The receivers of his message. The topic or message being
relayed by the instructor on that particular meeting was about the origin of literature and its
relationship and impact to society. At first,the flow of communication was smooth,until the
instructor had some technical issues which resulted to the interruption of the class discussion.
Poor internet connectivity and a cacophony on the instructor's background were the barriers of
the communication process. In response to these barriers,a few students from the class informed
him about his scratchy and sometimes inaudible voice due to the aforementioned reasons. The
instructor received his students' information from the chat box in the virtual room; and he then
went to another location,an open and a quite silent area to continue his class discussion.
Moreover,the type of communication process on the mentioned communicative situation was a
one-way process. In terms of ethical communication,I can utterly say that the communicators on

the communication process were ethical communicators. Because in the virtual room,there was
freedom or access to communication: To which the students,who were the receivers of the
instructor or sender's message, utilized in informing their Instructor about the problem on his
audio or voice during the discussion. The instructor also had a high sense of accountability and
professionalism for the situation that they were in; and that he immediately responded or
remedied the situation. Overall,I can say that the communication process that took place among
the communicators in the virtual room was problematic due to the numerous barriers that was
interrupting the communication process; and was hindering the students,or the receivers,to fully
receive and decode the message that was being sent by their Instructor,or the source. In spite of
this,all the problems were addressed and reconciliation among the communicators occured
afterwards. It then led to the continuation of the class' smooth discussion,which they originally
had prior to the occurrence of the problem.

SCENARIO AND INSTRUCTIONS:
Jake is preparing a library research paper about legalizing marijuana use in the
Philippines. He knows that his roommate wrote a research paper on the topic last semester and
asks his roommate about the paper in an attempt to gather information. Jake verbally copied
information without reporting that the source was his roommate’s. In what ways does Jake’s
behavior violate the guidelines set out in the NCA Credo for Ethical Communication? You may
cite and discuss more than one principle and suggest how he could do better.
NARRATIVE
Upon reading the given scenario,the subject,who was Jake, committed a violation on one
of the guidelines of the Credo for Ethical Communication, established by the National
Communication Association (NCA).This was due to his action for seemingly utilizing the
information on his roommate's search paper as if it was his own, without giving credit or
acknowledgement to the real owner. The guideline that he violated was the first principle of the
Credo for Ethical Communication: “We advocate truthfulness, accuracy, honesty,and reason as
essential to the integrity of communication." This particular principle pertains to the honesty in
communicating or relaying information regardless of form or means: Conveying what is known
to be true or factual,with no intent to deceive or alter information in presenting or sharing it to
others. Thus,Jakes aforementioned behavior objects the underlying values on this principle of the
NCA Credo for Ethical Communication.Furthermore,as we all know,plagiarizing or taking away
other people's information or work and utilizing it as if it is your own, is not only an unethical
behavior for a student but is also an illegal action that is punishable by the school and law. On
the other hand,in order for Jake to straighten things up,he should give credit to where the credit is
due by means of citing the research paper of his roommate as the source of the information that
he took and utilized for his research study. Only then,that the underlying values on the first
principle of the NCA Credo for Ethical Communication will be embraced and abided.
