In order to achieve success in communications it is proposed to use four principles: 1) singularity of consciousness 2) awareness and self-awareness 3) time 4) consent. The proposed approach is compared to the rules, worked out by the professors of the chair for communication of the University of Texas S. Bibi and T. Motet. A synthesis of principles and rules is delivered as a result. Materials and Methods. The following methods of scientific acknowledgement are used to achieve the research objectives: system and comparative analysis, synthesis of Russian and foreign information sources on ethic-related communication principles as well as study of communication critical success factors.

Results. As a result of the research the first four initial principles proposed by the author and five rules proposed by S. Bibi and T. Motet a new set of twelve criteria appeared to be considered as a communication control map elements for situations requiring special guarantees of communication quality as, for example, by the dispute parties in situations of conflict of interest during decision of complex issues of diplomacy, trade and state regulation. Discussion and Conclusions. Discussions and conclusions.

Estrangement and the Ethics of Attention in Emma Donoghue’s The Wonder

Drawing upon theoretical frameworks, such as Sara Ahmed’s “strange encounters” (2000), “willful subjects” (2014), and Judith Butler’s vulnerability (2004), the present article aims to explore female agency and action in The Wonder as fundamental steps to achieve transformation and change. For this purpose, I first offer a brief introduction to the vulnerability of the female body in Irish history, as it counts on a significant tradition firmly rooted in religious and class politics. Significantly, the novel foregrounds a reformulation of religious superstitions into new patterns of existence. Lib’s watchfulness and vigil astutely enact a self-displaying activity that offers the promise of a more communicative and empathic interaction with Anna. In addition, attention will be also paid to the narrative techniques that depict Lib’s failure to read Anna’s body fully as a wounded individual, thus revealing an encounter with alterity that can only work when there is will, love and affection. The story, then, challenges an aesthetics of grief and guilt and enacts, in turn, a new pattern of existence for both Anna and Lib. Such a pattern demands an ethics of attention and communication aimed to restore the self and display a more affective stance, which is necessary in order to encounter the limits of intelligibility and find out the perverse truth behind Anna’s “wonderful anomaly” (Donoghue 2016: 97).

Descriptions of long-term impact from inter-professional ethics communication in groups.

On a daily basis, healthcare professionals deal with various ethical issues and it can be difficult to determine how to act best. Clinical ethics support (CES) has been developed to provide support for healthcare professionals dealing with complex ethical issues. A long-term perspective of participating in inter-professional dialogue and reflective-based CES sessions is seemingly sparse in the literature. The aim was to describe experiences of impact of Inter-professional Ethics Communication in groups (IEC) based on Habermas' theory of communicative actions, after 6months from the perspective of an inter-professional team. A qualitative inductive approach was chosen, and individual interviews (n = 13) were conducted. Interview data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. The participants, 10 females and two males, represented assistant nurses, registered nurses, physicians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, welfare officers and psychologists. Each had attended at least four IEC sessions. The study was approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board in Umeå, Sweden, and it has been undertaken in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration. Overall, the descriptions expressed a perceived achievement of a deepened and integrated ethical awareness that increased the participants' awareness of ethically difficult situations as well as their own ethical thinking, actions and approaches in daily work. Perspectives were shared and the team become more welded. They carried the memories of the reflections within them, which was perceived as supportive when encountered new ethically situations. Putting words to unarticulated thoughts may stimulate repeated reflections, leading to new insights and alternative thoughts. The outcome of IEC sessions 6months following the last session can be described as an incorporated knowledge that enables actions in ethically difficult situations based on an ethical awareness both at a 'We-level' and an 'I-level'.

Развитие критического мышления студентов технического вуза при изучении языковых дисциплин

The article is devoted to the actual problem of the development of critical thinking of students of a technical university in the study of the disciplines “Russian language and business communications”, “Russian language and ethics of business communication”. Critical thinking is considered as a component of the professional competence of an engineer and an indicator of the development of creative engineering thinking; it is emphasized that it is at the stage of transition to a special format of education at the university in the junior years that the disciplines of the language cycle have unique opportunities for systematizing and streamlining the thinking process. The article analyzes approaches to the concept of critical thinking in Russian and foreign psychological and pedagogical literature, gives its generalized definition, and, based on monitoring the activities of the teacher and students, generalizes the features of the organization and possibilities of classes that contribute to the development of critical thinking. It is emphasized that the process of critical reflection is based on the ability to handle information: perceive, systematize, highlight the main thing, reproduce taking into account rethinking; At the same time, such quality as independence in working with information acquires special importance. The qualities that contribute to the formation of critical thinking are also determined: self-confidence, tolerance for other people's opinions, the ability to work in a team. The article emphasizes the need to organize learning as a two-way process, the efforts of both sides of the educational process, the presence of a challenge from the teacher in each lesson, its acceptance by students and joint reflection.

Tackling Epistemic and Cognitive Injustice in Political Dialogue: The Case of OACPS–EU Relations

This article examines the preconditions for an epistemically and cognitively more just form of political dialogue. Such dialogue requires treating each participant and their knowledges as equal as well as securing the participant’s epistemic and material possibilities to engage in deliberation. Drawing on Iris M. Young’s communicative ethics and both Walter D. Mignolo’s and Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni’s decolonial theorising, I suggest three moves for realising these conditions. Thus, I bring feminist epistemology and decolonial thought into a mutually enriching discussion and put forward ideals that are important for improving accounts of political deliberation in world politics. Empirically, the analysis contributes to an understanding of epistemic and cognitive injustices and related colonial tendencies in the relationship between the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) and European Union (EU). Moreover, I provide policy proposals for reducing the identified injustices and other associated asymmetries between the parties in the post-Cotonou era.

Visualising Africa at diaspora expense? How and why humanitarian organisations ignore diaspora audiences in their ‘ethical’ communications

AbstractCritical commentaries on visual constructions of distant suffering within humanitarian communication research have critiqued and problematised how International non‐governmental organisations (INGOs) frame Black and Brown distant ‘Others.’ However, much focus has been on the implications of these mediated imageries for overseas communities, while African diaspora have received much less attention. African diaspora is critical in current debates around representation, especially given increased criticisms around the ethicality of INGO fundraising communications for UK‐situated Black racialised publics. This article thus complicates existing debates by repositioning the empirical preoccupation with distant Others ‘over there,’ towards UK‐situated African diaspora ‘over here.’ Using interview evidence with UK‐based INGO professionals involved in the production and dissemination of imageries of humanitarian issues, it explores how INGOs construe African diaspora populations in considerations around, and implications of, the ethicality of their communications. Revealing that African diaspora are largely absent or ‘afterthoughts’ in INGO consciousness and practices for three central reasons. (1) They are not considered distinct and differentiated donor audiences worthy of strategic prioritisation, (2) Implicit professional/organisational ‘whiteness’ limits reflexive foresight of potential implications (negative or positive) of communications for diaspora and, (3) INGOs temporise over the (im)practicalities of ‘diaspora inclusive’ agendas for ethical communication.

A network of empirical ethics teams embedded in research programmes across multiple sites: opportunities and challenges in contributing to COVID-19 research and responses.

Covid-19 continues to teach the global community important lessons about preparedness for research and effective action to respond to emerging health threats. We share the COVID-19 experiences of a pre-existing cross-site ethics network-the Global Health Bioethics Network-which brings together researchers and practitioners from Africa, Europe, and Southeast Asia. We describe the network and its members and activities, and the work-related opportunities and challenges we faced over a one-year period during the pandemic. We highlight the value of having strong and long-term empirical ethics networks embedded across diverse research institutions to be able to: 1) identify and share relevant ethics challenges and research questions and ways of 'doing research'; 2) work with key stakeholders to identify appropriate ways to contribute to the emerging health issue response - e.g., through ethics oversight, community engagement, and advisory roles at different levels; and 3) learn from each other and from diverse contexts to advocate for positive change at multiple levels. It is our view that being embedded and long term offers opportunities in terms of deep institutional and contextual knowledge, existing relationships and access to a wide range of stakeholders. Being networked offers opportunities to draw upon a wide range of expertise and perspectives, and to bring together internal and external insights (i.e.drawing on different positionalities). Long term funding means that the people and resources are in place and ready to respond in a timely way. However, many tensions and challenges remain, including difficulties in negotiating power and politics in the roles that researchers and research institutions can and should play in an emergency, and the position of empirical ethics within research programmes. We discuss some of these tensions and challenges and consider the implications for our own and similar networks in future.

Is the political community a precondition for the establishment of an ethical community?

In Religion, Kant claims that the ethical community cannot be brought into existence if there is not a political community at its basis (RGV 6: 94). My aim in this paper is to understand the origins and the consequences of this claim. My hypothesis is that the political community is a precondition to the establishment of an ethical community because the passage to a civil state can guarantee the minimal conditions for the ethical community to exist.

Интерактивные приемы обучения деловой коммуникации студентов технических направлений подготовки в высшей школе

The aim of the research is to demonstrate the possibilities of interactive teaching techniques in the course of studying disciplines of a communicative orientation by students of technical training programmes. The paper sheds light on the essence of the notions of “interactive teaching methods”, “interactive teaching techniques”, “interactive teaching forms”, characterises the role and advantages of interactive techniques in the educational process of higher education. Scientific novelty of the research lies in confirming the feasibility of using interactive techniques in the course of studying such general humanities disciplines as “Business Communication Ethics”, “Business Communication Basics”, “Speech Culture and Business Communication”. As a result, the technological aspects of preparation and implementation of the specific author’s interactive tasks that make it possible to form business communication skills among non-linguistic students have been developed. It has been found that the use of interactive techniques helps to motivate students’ involvement in the educational process, actualise creative activities, form teamwork skills, critical thinking skills, the skills of analysing situations of business communication, develop students’ communicative competencies related to their future professional activities.
