ETHICS

Ethics is a branch of philosophy. It is related to human nature. It reflects our behaviour.It plays an important role in building up our nature and behavior. As a society is made by people and their behavior and ethics plays an important role in organizing our behaviors so it is an important part of a society.

Ethics and Media

Media has always got a great attraction for people. Since its evolution it has been performing its duty of entertaining as well as guiding people. Weather it is print media or electronic media people always tries to adopt its importance in their daily life.

With the evolution 0f print media people had a great thirst for it. They take it as their foremost source of
information. Hence media start playing three main roles which are as follows.
• Information
• Entertainment
• Guidance
With the addition of features and columns and magazines people’s interest was enhanced and they started idealizing the writers. They take their writings as for their guidance.

Observing that much importance of media, there should be some limitations set for it. So that writers cant go beyond the ethics. Their writings and publications should be checked and controlled.

For that matter certain laws to regulate media were formulated to keep a check on it. Hence a code of ethics was formulated for print media which is to be obeyed by the publishers.

Then with the gain in popularity of electronic media again there was a need to put a check on it. So different regulatory committees were made to regulate a code for them. So with the passage of time many codes were formulated and applied for them.

By now a proper and complete code of principles is been set for whole media. but still there is another debate of freedom of media due to which changes keep on happening in these4 principles.

Sources of Ethics

There are certain sources of ethics. These sources include those persons, places or people which affect our lives at different stages and thus help us in developing and adopting our ethics.
These sources are as follows.
• Parents
• Peer groups
• Educational institutions
• Teen Age [school level]
• Adult Age [higher studies]
• Observations & Experiences
• Society

Parents

Parents are the primary and most important source of ethics. They are the first source whish introduce us to the worlds. They teach us how top behave, how to talk how to walk, how to eat and above all hoe to develop our ethics i.e. the way to deal with others.

Peer Group

Our second source of ethics is our peer group. This includes our age fellows and our friends. So it is the first time when you interact with the people other then your family. You gain many things from here also.

The most important thing you get from your peer group is the development of your attitude. For example some of the children developed tolerance. Others may gain to react harshly to certain situations .Hence it also play an important role in developing ones self.

Educational Institutions

It includes development at two levels.
School level when we are at a stage of learning and adopting thing. At this period of age children try to copy others. They try to gain the qualities of those personalities which they like the most. So people around him specially teachers try to develop good qualities in them. They try to make them differentiate

between right and wrong.

At Higher Educational level when children have both the pictures in front of them. Now they are socially bound to show their ethics. It is the time when others expect the particle side of their ethics they have learned so far. Hence they have to prove themselves what kind of nature he has developed so far.

Observations & Experiences

After passing through your higher education, the next source is our own
observations and experiences.

Because at this level we are mature enough to observe our society.
Secondly when we talk about experiences then there are two possibilities.
1. We can learn from others’ experiences
2. We can experience our self.

Society

This is the biggest source of learning as it is effective at all stages of life but becomes even more effective

when we comes in our particle life. It is the time or stage which requires more responsibilities and ethical behavior from us.

Brother.As i explained to you that parents are primary source.Because they directs us probably in positive way.Because they are first source that try to develpe our thinking scenerio in positive way.

AS in media,They explore their ways of telecasting news whether any type of news in true manner.They throw light on any news to convey a positive message from news.For E.g.If they telecast news of decoiting occur any where,So they will conclude it in positive route like identifiy their negative consequences regarding decoit to inform us that decoit is a bad thing to do etc.

So as an ethics,Primary sources i explained to you is related to media ethics.

=> Define media ethics and also describe primary sources for furnishing those?

i was about to solve this question but left it because of confusion in understanding the true sense of this question. Although i have no clear idea about this question, it should be like this: describe the primary reason for furnishing those. What do you say?

[HeyYouNotYouYou]

Why don't you read Wikipedia article titled "Media Ethics" ?

I will recommend you SPJ Code of Ethics, search it on google this is the code that journalists have to obey. Even reporters in Dawn and Express Tribune use it.
All else you can write by yourself.
