Because interpersonal communication affects us and others, our interactions involve ethical choices. Describe a situation that involved an ethical choice and the communication practices that were used to address the issue. You can choose a personal experience or one that you know about.

Ethical issues could include whether or not to lie, withholding certain information from someone else, or passing on a message to a third party that was told in confidence. Explain the ethical situation was handled. (For example, did they avoid the decision at first? Did they engage in dual perspective to figure out why one person would want them to not tell others certain information, etc.?)

Your response should be a one-page (300-350 words) report that makes informed references from this module's materials. A grading rubric (how this assignment will be graded) is provided.

Facts, quotes, ideas, etc. that are borrowed from a resource or resources other than personal experiences must be cited in proper APA format in your response. You can access Citation and Writing Assistance: Writing Papers at Carrington (Links to an external site.) for information about sources and APA format and read about Avoid Plagiarism (Links to an external site.) in the Carrington College Library. It is often helpful to submit your work to Tutor.com (Links to an external site.) for assistance with writing.
