Question

Communication is considered ethical if it ________________.
a.
demonstrates an understanding of many languages
b.
shows sensitivity
c.
relevant to the topic of discussion
d.
uses complicated terms

Answer 1

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it is B.

Read somewhere that Ethical Communication generally involves treating people fairly. B fits that most, don't you think?

Answer 2

Yes I do, Thank you

Answer 3

Anytime. Good luck. :)

Answer 4

Thank you XD

Answer 5

The National Communication Association (NCA) states: "ethical communication enhances human worth and dignity by fostering truthfulness, fairness, responsibility, personal integrity, and respect for self and other."

Answer 6

Does that make B the right answer?o-o

Answer 7

Well, that is at least one way to say respect for others, which is in there.

Answer 8

If you look at "relevant to the topic of discussion" you can be a jerk, but still be relevant, and not be ethical.

Answer 9

uses complicated terms <- That has nothing to do with ethics at all. I mean, if I talk about how you are the epitome of sartorial impeccability is is no more or less ethical than saying you dress well.

Answer 10

Too many big words for my liking there :P

Answer 11

demonstrates an understanding of many languages <- OK, so lets say I am in a group of only English speakers and I start using Japanese and Russian. Is that very ethical?

So even by elimination, B is the best choice.
