1. The Connection Between Communication and Ethics

6.1. Communication and ethics are closely intertwined because ethical communication ensures honest, respectful, and effective information exchange among individuals. Ethical principles help maintain positive relationships and resolve conflicts in both personal and professional life. Strong interpersonal relationships are essential for social productivity. These social skills are developed throughout life (formally, informally, or incidentally) and contribute to personal growth. The social system's primary feature is interaction, occurring at both interpersonal (group level) and intergroup (community level) scales. Communication-based social connections provide information, cultural insights, and relationship-building opportunities.

6.2. The Concept of Communication

Communication is defined as the multifaceted relationships that arise from shared activity needs. It’s not just an exchange of information or sharing of thoughts but also involves mutual understanding and empathy. The very words we use to describe communication express connection and interaction. Since early times, humanity has developed new communication tools (e.g., drums, writing, mail, phone, TV, computers) that ease interaction without direct contact. Communication includes both verbal and nonverbal forms, such as eye contact, body language, personal space, gestures, and appearance, filling every aspect of human life.
