Ethics can be practiced anywhere. The following are examples that show how scenarios could go wrong when ethical communications are not practiced:
1. Shell's disposal of the Brent Spar - In 1995 the British government declared its support to Shell for the disposal of oil in the Atlantic. This case changed the relationship that companies, activists, and the public have with one another.
2. The Waco Siege (Waco massacre) - The siege of a compound belonging to the Branch Davidians by federal and state(Texas) law enforcement and the military. This occurred between February 28th and April 19th, 1993.
These two scenarios are perfect examples of how situations could go from bad to worse without communicating ethically. Communicating ethically shows that you are aware of what you are saying and how your words are affecting those around you. Your words therefore influence your actions as well. This is something we should all keep in mind.
