COM 470 Northern Arizona University Communication Ethics Questions

I’m working on a communications writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Read Chapter Twelve and answer the following questions:

1.  Compare and contrast the Golden Rule and the Platinum Rule.  In what ways might one or both of these rules guide us making ethical choices in communicating with people from other cultures?  Provide an example.

2.  What is “reciprocity” and how does it promote ethical action interpersonal communication?  How can your cultivate reciprocity in your interactions with family, friends, co-workers, and others

3.  Moral exclusion appears to be increasingly common in social media interaction.  Why might this be the case?  How can an individual counter moral exclusion in their own social media communication?
