Ethical frameworks guide our patterns of communication during conflict and competing morals and values can often be the origin of conflict. How can being aware of these differences help us improve how we handle conflict?
1) Explain the differences between values, ethics, and morals, based on what you have learned from the article(s) and video(s) you selected.
2) Select a case study from Chapter 4 of the textbook, focusing on facework, high and low context, collectivism or individualism, the Buddhist monk, or the Hindu-Muslim marriage; explain the key details and how it counts as a conflict, based on Jandt's definition.
3) Explain how what was learned about values, morals, and ethics can be applied to how the parties communicated in the dispute.
4) Describe how things could have been handled differently, using some communication techniques discussed in Jandt (2021) or some other scholarly source.
