2. Active Listening
▪ Hearing someone and listening to them
are two different things. In order for
ethical communication to be effective, it is
necessary for the receiver to pro-actively
listen to the speaker, and to not just hear

parts of the conversation.
▪ This also means asking
questions when any point is
not completely understood,
for the sake of clarification.
