Regardless of context, communication involves choice, reflects values, and has consequences. These three key elements of communication form the basis of its ethical makeup.
Ethics is the study of values, of what is more or less important, of the “good,” of behavioral guidelines and norms. Ethics provides frameworks and tools for recognizing and assessing available options and for differentiating between more or less morally justified pathways in any given situation.
Communication ethics is, first and foremost, about choice. To the extent an individual or group has options available in any given situation, moral agency is at play. With moral agency the relative freedom to choose one's pathway in any given situation comes responsibility.
In all the areas of communication, there are general guidelines that are important to communication.
Oral communication is the process of verbally transmitting information and ideas from one individual or group to another. Oral communication can be either formal or informal. Examples of informal oral communication include face-to-face conversations, telephone conversations, or discussions that take place at business meetings. More formal types of oral communication include presentations at business meetings, classroom lectures, or a commencement speech given at a graduation ceremony.
With advances in technology, new forms of oral communication continue to develop. Video phones and video conferences combine audio and video so that workers in distant locations can both see and speak with each other.
