Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When communicating important information to one audience and limiting or prioritizing certain content for another audience based on the language or ethnicity of that audience, this can be considered a form of unethical communication by deliberately promoting prejudice. Making assumptions about what is important information for one race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, and gender when it regards critical information can be considered promoting prejudices. If you use titles for men but not for women (e.g., Mr. William Jones, advertising manager, and Harriet Smith, operations manager), you make women seem less credible and authoritative. If photographs in the company's annual report always show women sitting and staring at computer screens while men sit at big conference tables listening to reports and making decisions, the pictures imply that men occupy (or deserve) important positions as executives while women are suited to clerical positions. As a communicator, make sure that you don't reinforce or inspire prejudice and bigotry. Always discuss and depict people without biases related to their race, religion, language, age, weight, height, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, national or social origin, and marital or family status. Your job is to offer only valid and reliable findings, fair and unbiased analyses, and logically justified conclusions. Withholding important information from individuals who are only able to access the Spanish version of the website can be considered promoting prejudices.
