 In a world where so many people want to stand out you can see a lot of communication be misunderstood. Communication ethics is "the call to learn about different views of the good assumed by different positions" and the way to practice it in my opinion is to sit back and listen and understand that everyone is different. You can't go about life thinking you're better than someone by the clothes you wear or the house you grew up in because everyone has different perspectives that define us. I've seen great communication ethics but I have also seen plenty of ways where it isn't practiced to full effect.

I think that the most important thing when it comes to communication ethics is to put yourself in someone else's shoes. Theory is important in communication ethics and the use of theory highlights "individualism" which is how yourself perceives a type of study or topic. Individualism is great for getting new ideas across and can make others appreciate the human side to theory. I've enjoyed seeing the different ways that communication ethics works in our everyday society and how it is rare to see it practiced in everyday conversations especially in media.
