Lesson 1: Principles of Communication (Gamble and Gamble, 2010) 05 Communication is competence-based. When we add to our knowledge and make a commitment to develop the skills to apply that knowledge across an array of communication situations or contexts, we gain communication competence. Included among the skills necessary for effective communication is the ability to think critically, examine ideas reflectively, and decide what we should and should not believe, think, or do.

In McLuhan‘s view, different channels of communication affect the way a sender encodes a message and the way a receiver responds to a message. Words delivered face-to-face, on paper, or via radio or television do not constitute the same message.

Instead of valuing sequential understanding and careful logic, we now value immediate gratification and emotional involvement." COMMUNICATION PRINCIPLES (ANGELL, 1997) Communication is a 01 process. 02 Communication is contextual. Our interactions with others occur during specific social situations, in different physical environments, and for a variety of purposes. 03 Communication is continuous. COMMUNICATION PRINCIPLES (ANGELL, 1997) Communication is 04 symbolic. Words or nonverbal modes may be used in communication. 05 Communication is culturally linked. 06 collaborative.

Ethics will help us determine whether what we say or do is suitable or proper considering its effects on society. Photo from Desk Alerts People may interpret messages differently. We vary in terms of cultural background and personalities, hence there is a need to consider our behaviour when we communicate with others. One ethical issue in communication is plagiarism. It is best to be aware of the rules on copyright and the legal issues on the use of information from various sources. Suggestions on Ethical Communication (Johannensen, 1990) Ethical communicators are respectful of their audiences. Ethical communicators consider the consequences of their communication. Ethical communicators respect truth. Ethical communicators use information properly. Ethical communicators do not falsify information. Ethical communicators respect the rights of others to information. " Respecting others‘ rights and their views may result in negotiations, effective communication, and a good working relationship." "Communication ethics emphasizes that morals influence the behavior of an individual, group, or organization." It is important to note that one‘s behavior should be regulated by honesty, decency, truthfulness, sincerity, and moral uprightness. Be guided by the following to achieve ethical communication: 01 Establish an effective value system that will pave the way for the development of your integrity as a person. 02 Provide complete and accurate information. 03 Disclose vital information adequately and appropriately. "A code of ethics sets the standards to be observed by a person or a company that will create a good reputation or a positive image not only for an individual but also for the organization.
