10 Ethical Communication
1. Seek to “elicit the best” in communications and
interactions with other group members.
2. Listen when others speak.
3. Speak non-judgmentally.
4. Speak from your own experience and perspective,
expressing your own thoughts, needs, and feelings.
5. Seek to understand others (rather that to be “right” or
“more ethical that thou”).
6. Avoid speaking for others, for example by characterizing
what others have said without checking your understanding, or
by universalizing your opinions, beliefs, values, and
conclusions, --assuming everyone shares them.
Political scientist and professor Harold Lasswell

A. business letters
B. Letters of complaint
C. Some essays
D. Reports
E. Official speeches
The Expanding Circle F. Announcements

supported by facts such as research data, statistics or figures.
To achieve concreteness, abstract words must be avoided.
3. Courtesy

approach and manner of addressing an individual.
4. Correctness

sentence. Also, the misuse of language can damage your

Messages must be geared towards the audience. The sender of a
message must consider the recipient’s profession, level of
education, race, ethnicity, hobbies, interests, passions,
advocacies and age when drafting or delivering a message.
6. Creativity
Creativity in communication means having the ability to craft
interesting messages in terms of sentence structure and word
choice.
7. Conciseness
Simplicity and directness help you to be concise. Avoid using
lengthy expressions and words that may confuse the recipient.
8. Cultural Sensitivity
Today, with the increasing emphasis on empowering diverse
cultures, lifestyles, and races and the pursuit for gender equality,
cultural sensitivity becomes an important standard for effective
communication.
9. Captivating
You must strive to make messages interesting to command more
attention and better responses.
