Problem
Search on YouTube for "Ethics in communication - why do we need it," and then watch the video that comes up. Make time for it because the video is only three minutes long. After that, read the phrase that is provided below, and then respond to the accompanying question.
a) Seek to "elicit the best" in communications and interactions with other group members.
b) Listen when others speak.
c) Speak non-judgmentally.
d) Speak from your own experience and perspective, expressing your own thoughts, needs, and feelings.
e) Seek to understand others (rather than to be "right" or "more ethical than thou").
f) 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.
g) Manage your own personal boundaries: share only what you are comfortable sharing.
h) Respect the personal boundaries of others.
i) Avoid interrupting and side conversations.
j) Make sure that everyone has time to speak, that all members have relatively equal "air time" if they want it.
