In the deaf club, how did they get everyone's attention?

To get someone’s attention, Deaf people might tap someone on the shoulder. Or, they might bang or tap on a table so that the vibrations cause everyone at the table to look toward the source of the vibrations. In a large group or classroom setting, flashing the lights off and on is a common way to get everyone’s attention. It’s rude to wave your hands right in front of a Deaf person’s face to get their attention. Just gently tap them on the shoulder instead. It’s ok to wave your hand, though, if you’re too far away for a shoulder tap. Here are some commons mistakes hearing people make when trying to get a Deaf person's attention. These are generally considered inappropriate or even rude.

- stomping furiously on the floor
- turning the lights on and off when you're trying to get just one person's attention, and not the entire group
- aggressively jabbing the person you want to talk to
- waving your hand right in front of the person's face
 - grabbing the person's hands to force him or her to stop signing and pay attention to you (never, ever grab a Deaf person's hands--that's like someone putting their hand over the mouth of a hearing person)

Select two principles of ethical communication. Explain why you feel they are important

Reika [66]

Explanation:

Ethical communication has several principles or foundational elements. Communicating fact-based messages honestly and accurately is central to ethical communication. Ethical communication values freedom of expression, diversity of perspective and tolerance of dissent. But while ethical communication should be honest and straightforward, it should never offend or provoke listeners.

Ethical communication allows access to the resources and facts that helped formulate the message. For example, if you are sharing information about stock performance, you are obligated to provide your audience with annual reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or shareholder reports.

Communicating in an ethical manner also requires making the message accessible. This means if you are delivering a message to a large or diverse audience, ensure that you accommodate the languages and listening preferences of everybody. Even though the official language in the U.S. is English, there are millions of visitors and legal residents whose first language is not English. To deliver a message that can be understood by a diverse audience requires engaging linguists or translators who can assist you in making the message accessible to all.

In addition to making the message accessible and respecting the diversity of thought and perspective, ethical communication means being considerate of basic human needs. Avoiding words and language that are demeaning or intolerant and refraining from messages that promote or incite violence is paramount to ethical communication.
