Ethics Statements
- United States radio host Bernard Meltzer ran an advice call-in show from 1967 through the 1990s. Bernard is accredited with the following quote:
Before you speak, ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, kind, necessary, and helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.
- The international service organization, Rotary, has a 4-way test that they use to guide personal and professional relationships. Of the things we think, say, and do, ask:
• Is it the truth?
• Is it fair to all concerned?
• Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
• Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
