Definitely academic integrity should be practiced in the workplace as well as in academic carrier. Due to the honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility, which are fundamental to academic integrity, are equally crucial in a professional setting. I have one example regarding this like in food industry, people have to maintain integrity to ensure that they are serving good and healthy food. If they don't do so they fail to maintain honesty regarding their work and breach the integrity.

Human communication tends to vary between high and low context depending on cultural, social, and individual factors. But I think that as a human being I consider myself a high context communicator because much meaning is conveyed through context, nonverbal cues, and shared understanding. For instance, in collectivist cultures like Japan, subtle gestures and expressions carry significant meaning, requiring a deeper understanding of the context. Conversely, low-context communication, prevalent in individualistic cultures like the United States, relies more on explicit verbal expression and less on implicit understanding, making messages clearer and less reliant on context for interpretation. So, I think both examples define high or low context very well

Ethical Reflections on Design Choices:

a. Listing the positive points of your message in a bulleted list, while discussing the negatives in a paragraph

Ethical Consideration: Grey area

Would Do: Yes

Uncomfortable Doing: No

Refuse to Do: No

Reasoning: This practice leverages formatting to emphasize positive aspects but still includes the negatives. It can be seen as a way to present information more clearly, though it does create an imbalance in emphasis. It's important that the negatives are still adequately covered and not obscured.

b. Using a smaller font size to review the limitations of your product/service

Ethical Consideration: Unethical

Would Do: No

Uncomfortable Doing: Yes

Refuse to Do: Yes

Reasoning: This deliberately downplays important information that consumers need to make informed decisions. It's a form of deception, as it intentionally makes critical details less noticeable, which can mislead the audience.

c. Bolding words/phrases in your resume to draw the reader’s attention toward certain skills and qualifications

Ethical Consideration: Ethical

Would Do: Yes

Uncomfortable Doing: No

Refuse to Do: No

Reasoning: This practice is a standard and accepted method to highlight key information in a resume. It helps guide the reader's attention to the most relevant points without hiding any information. It's a fair way to ensure important skills and qualifications stand out.
