I actually have two main sources, plus tad bits that I've learned just researching on the internet.

My first source is one of the Adam Ruins Everything episode on the American Jail systems.

Jails aren't run by the government anymore. Jails, or prisons are money making machines. The government gives them OUR tax money, to keep pretty much innocent people in jail. Why do I say innocent? Because the private jail systems have a minimum amount of people that have to be in their jail. Which means once you enter, they'll keep giving you years for "bad behavior", such as not wanting to mow the lawn for 10 cents an hour.

My second source is a documentary called the "Thirteenth".

Jail systems aren't meant to be places of "rehabilitation". Do you know why? Because back in December 1865, when slavery was no longer legal, former slave owners still need workers to keep their plantations going, but didn't have the money to pay... so here comes our wonderful constitution to the rescue!

The Thirteenth amendment states, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

AH HA! See, right there, "EXPECT AS PUNISHMENT FOR A CRIME.". That little loop hole made it so that anything a black, yes a black, person did was a crime. Even accusations that weren't true could land them in jail, and back as a slave.

So if you connect the dots right now, the goal of the overarching prison system is not, and was never about "rehabilitation".

Now, I still have some more to say on this subject. Even if you were to ignore how our wonderful prison system got started, there's solitary confinement to think about.

Solitary Confinement makes people insane. Once one person goes in, and then comes out a completely different person than they were, they're an example to the others.

If our government and our jail systems want to rehabilitate people, and help them enter the work force, and of course, stay out of crime, making people unable to care for themselves is not the way to go.

I hope this helps, and sorry for the long answer.

Answer:

The US prison system aims to promote social re-socialization of criminals who are unable to live in society. The results of solitary confinement differ from this goal in that they do not promote this social resocialization, but instead promote social isolation.

Explanation:

The US is virtually the only one in the world to incarcerate thousands of prisoners in solitary confinement over the long term or indefinitely. People in solitary confinement spend about 22 to 24 hours a day in total social and physical isolation with others. The problem with this is that this isolation goes against the main purpose of the US penitentiary system that wants to promote social resocialization so that these people can get back together in society.

Here is a great summary to answer your questions.

Explanation:

What is the objective ethical ideal, and how does it apply to interpersonal communication?

Imagine a situation in which a friend asks you if you like her new haircut. Instead of telling her the cut is unflattering, you respond, “Wow, it’s so short!” No one ever said that telling the truth all the time was easy, but is it ethical to omit part of the truth to spare someone’s feelings? While this question must be answered individually, if the answer is yes, a subjective ethical ideal is upheld where the answer is not always right or wrong but perhaps somewhere in between and influenced by a person’s beliefs and morals. If the answer is no, an objective ethical ideal is upheld where the answer is always right or wrong and never influenced by personal considerations. Inevitably, ethical dilemmas will arise at work, home, and school. However, understanding the difference between ethical and unethical communication will allow you to make informed decisions about how to manage each situation.

Subjective ethical ideal:

This is the ideal that objective is too rigid or too confining and that all elements of the context need to be considered, such as personal values, beliefs, ideals, norms, expectations, feelings, and so forth.

Objective ethical ideal:

This is the ideal that the right or wrong of a situation is absolute and should not be influenced by personal morals, values, beliefs, and so forth. Because both people and contexts are always changing, it is often difficult to uphold an objective ethical ideal.

Why is the objective ethical ideal preferable to the subjective ethical ideal in interpersonal relationships (i.e., spouses, siblings, friends, parent and child, employer and employee, teacher and student)?

The objective ethical ideal is the ideal that the right or wrong of a situation is absolute and should not be influenced by personal morals, values, beliefs, and so forth. Because both people and contexts are always changing, it is often difficult to uphold an objective ethical ideal.

The subjective ethical ideal is the ideal that objective is too rigid or too confining and that all elements of the context need to be considered, such as personal values, beliefs, ideals, norms, expectations, feelings, and so forth.

The objective ethical ideal is preferable over the subjective ethical ideal because with the subjective ethical ideal, you must consider all elements of the context, and that is not helpful, because lots of people have differing views in all of those areas. Also, because the subjective ethical ideal is the idea that you can stretch the objective to fit that specific scenario.

How do you think this style of communication might impact those relationships?

Communication can be the end result of action and behavior, and communication can influence a person’s actions and behaviors. The most effective communicators understand that the process of communication creates a fluid exchange of ideas, enabling interpersonal communication to be used productively at work, at home, and in the ever-changing, interactive world.

Keywords and phrases:

Communication, ethical communication, subjective ethical ideal, objective ethical ideal, interpersonal communication.

Hope this helps! Brainliest would be much appreciated! Have a great day! :)
