Chapters 1&2...
Communication Ethics is much more than just a reasoning to talk to someone. It is the basis for all interaction in our community. This is categorized in many different forms and may sometimes be hard to pinpoint the central ideas in communication. The idea is that we can all live in a free society while still being able to function in life every day with each other. the preface gives us a great idea of some things to expect out of our text. They speak about seeing different and being able to adjust to a style of communication we may be unfamiliar with. This gives me a notion to pay close attention because we are all so subtly different that we need to be aware of our neighbors style and learn from it.
Chapter 1 starts out by talking about how there is "little consensus" in our communities about how to communicate and what is seen as right and wrong. This is a huge factor for why I actually took a major in the area. It is fascinating to me how many ways we can address a situation. Communication has no boundaries as we see in our readings in chapter 1 as well as chapter 2. I was thrown off by the idea of postmodernity. I believe that we have been on a communication reasoning for many years now. Not only can we keep learning from it but also see that we may change or our communication may change. I would be willing to bet when cars start to fly we will have a new approach to communication and how we view things as people.
I can incorporate this into my own life with a few simple ideas. First I/we must learn to embrace difference and understand that our way is not the best always. The book talks about "The Good" in communication and we can never forget this. They ask us what the good is we want to protect? well I believe it is the balance of good as well as bad. Keeping an opened mind is only part of it. When we do encounter an issue it is good to see the negative in some cases because we are better able to adjust our style to find the good in the situation. Maybe the good is just knowing that you were wrong and learning from your mistakes. This book is going to be a very helpful tool in understanding our society and communication.
