Ethics home page


Celtic Letter E See Book of Kells	Ethics is the science of right conduct -- the ultimate human science and the primary characteristic of our humanity, some would say. Communication ethics incorporates the ethics of language and media ethics: an agreed-upon ethical structure of language is essential to communicate; and mass media must adhere to a socially and culturally approved norm of ethical conduct in order to fulfill their proper social roles. How well we define and practice our personal and professional ethos is one measure of our humanity.
