beliefs and practices of others
If there is an intent to conceal the truth, or bring damage to any
organization, group or individual person, communication is
considered unethical.

Even in situations when there is no intent to harm, but damage to a


certain group is inevitable because of the message or the channel
used to relay the message, it is still considered unethical.

The concept of globalization is not new, but people somehow fail to realize that this is not
confined to technology or bridging the world and making it a virtual community.
Globalization also entails changing the way people communicate to others, especially those
with different norms, cultures and belief systems. This involves all types of communication,
whether face-to-face, chatting via email, or using various forms of mass media, such as the

they use in the process of communication.

A style may sometimes depend on the


demands of the communicative situation,
as well as on the needs and requirements of
the target recipients of the information.

-People has a unique style of communication.


-They depends on their linguistic ability.

-And their cultural and social context.


Each style has two dimensions:

The model, developed by Dr. Eileen M.


Russo, shows four different
communication styles (direct, spirited,
systematic and considerate),
categorized further into two different
dimensions (level of assertiveness and
level of expressiveness). All of these
must be considered because people
with different cultural contexts tend
to have varying levels and styles of
communication.

The combination of these levels result to the basic
communication styles:
Spirited = High Expressiveness + High Assertiveness
Considerate = High Expressiveness + Low Assertiveness
Direct = Low Expressiveness + High Assertiveness
Systematic = Low Expressiveness + Low Assertiveness

Dr. Eileen M. Russo


assertive level
People who are categorized within the assertive
communication level tend to tell or instruct others what to
do and sometimes even how to do it, while the less assertive
styles usually tend to be on the receiving end, often asking
for guidance, instructions or directions.

expressive level
On the other hand, people who fall under the expressive
level usually show their real feelings and emotions through
facial expressions, tone of voice, or language use. The less
expressive ones tend to either hide their feelings or exert
some effort for these feelings not to show.
