- Title
Communication, Culture, and Ethics: Implications for Symbol-Users and the Golden Rule.
- Authors
Hall, Bradford 'J'
- Abstract
This article explores the intersection between communication, culture, and ethics. It does this through considering implications associated with the ideas that humans are symbol-using animals and that both communication and culture are systems of symbols. Based on the inherent nature of symbols, a series of implications for all symbol users, regardless of their distinctive communication practices and cultures, are identified. The concept of ethics, as it relates to these implications is then examined and a particular ethic, known as the Golden Rule, is examined in terms of examples raised earlier in the article. The article concludes with items to consider as we attempt to communicate ethically in a multicultural world.
