Communication and Multimedia Ethics
Communication and multimedia technologies have many ethical considerations. Societies, cultures, and the moral beliefs of the message creator and the end-user, the person(s) who will be receiving the message, determine these ethical considerations. Usually the end-users will make the decision whether a message is considered "good," "bad," or ethical.
Ethical Considerations
Dual Meaning Messages are messages that have more than one meaning to more than one person. These dual meanings messages may be created intentionally, or they may be the unintentional result of the design.
Deception is tricking someone into believing something. This is usually done for economic or political gain.
Slander is presenting a negative image of another person, product, or system with the intent of economic or political gain. This is very common among politicians during elections.
Propaganda is the use of multimedia to control someone. This usually involves a point of view held by a government or movement.
