After you read the credo please answer the following questions:
Ethics is fundamental when we embark upon any communication activity.
1. Reflect on the 9 principles
2. Think of a time when there was a breach of ethics - one you created or one where you were involved but the breach was created by someone else
3. Write a brief essay where you describe the breach and then show how at least three of the principles relate
4. Be specific and detailed in your description
Focus your reader on concepts from the readings with their definition and source, a description of the concepts in your own words, and an explicit connection between the concept and your example.
