Ethics
Ethics are considered to be the principles and norms that shape the human personality and behavior and underlie the formation of the character. Ethics generally can be considered as personal code of conduct. (Griffith University, 2011)Ethics constitute of the following aspects mainly:
Assessing and evaluating personal values, (Griffith University, 2011)
Understanding of the requirements and standards of society as well as knowledge of personal and universal standards, (Griffith University, 2011)
Analyzing the available choices, their impact on others and society and then accepting the responsibility of the choice made and be hold oneself accountable for it. (Griffith University, 2011)
Ethics usually shape the morals but ethics and morals cannot be considered as the same. (Griffith University, 2011)
Development of Personal Ethics
It is highly important to develop personal ethics as they build the morals and character of a person. This set ethics and ethical principles help a person decide about right and wrong and make appropriate choices in their lives. Ethics, however, grow and develop throughout a person's life and are influenced by a lot of factors. (Scivicque, 2013)
Each and every person has a different base and system through which the person passes and is influenced by that to incorporate and develop personal ethics. That is every person has a different set of examples and circumstances that develops and builds the ethics in a person and shapes his/her character. (Scivicque, 2013)
Factors that contribute towards the development of personal ethics are explained in the table below.

As religion generally lays the ground for right and wrong, permissible and prohibited, etc. These set religious principles and standards governs a person's life completely and helps him / her develop sound personal ethics that guide them in leading a life based on morality and righteousness. (Scivicque, 2013)
Culture
The creation and development of ethical norms is highly affected by the culture that surrounds a person. Culture plays a vital role in shaping ethics and generally dictating the concept of right and wrong. (Scivicque, 2013)
Experience
Experience of a person also effects the ethics as with practical experience a lot of circumstance in which due to emotional or personal reasons the person's point-of-view and beliefs are changed. (Scivicque, 2013)
Self-assessment and realization
Ethics are also shaped by an individual inner reflection and assessment of the self. The feeling of guilt and bad conscious after doing something that is wrong or amoral, either improves personal ethics or if over practiced kills the sense of right and wrong.
In my experience, I would say that I am constantly affected by all the above factors and all of them have played an important role in developing and improving my personal ethics. Further, I would also like to add that the culture and religion imposed changes in the ethics are usually 'duty based' as these impose and obligation duty to be followed. While the…
Participatory Approaches to Development Communication It was confirmed by Everett Rogers in 1976 that the dominating paradigm towards development of communication had passed. He negated all those theories, which have been prevalent in field of communication ever since the 10950s.

To the extent the totality of circumstances suggest that possibility, even acceptance of the most nominal gratuities (i.e. A cup of coffee) is ethically inappropriate. Similarly, even where the gratuity involved is of nominal value and there is no potential misunderstanding on the part of the individual proffering an otherwise appropriate gratuity, there is the issue of creating the appearance or inference of an improper relationship from the perspective of
