ETHICAL FUNDAMENTALS OF NON-VIOLENT COMMUNICATION IN IT SOCIETY

Summary/Abstract: The present paper analyses the quality of interpersonal relations and communication in the so-called “communication society’ while considering the current explosion of communication means and technologies. The paper attempts to answer the question whether the global extension of communication brings with it an enhanced satisfaction of the humans who need to deeply, truly and sincerely communicate. Similarly, we intend to investigate to what extent there is an urgent need to ethically redefine the principles which govern human communication and interrelations. The reinvention of morality, the possibility to exercise respect and amiability in human interrelations are top priorities for a non-violent society. Avoiding an increased level of violence in society requires, among other things, finding a substitute for judgemental attitudes, interpretation and questioning with a comprehensive attitude that should be adopted in inter-human communication. The former attitudes generate unequal relations between collocutors, i.e. relations that encourage people think in terms of inferiority-superiority, dependence of collocutors or even aggressiveness. The only attitude that encourages respect and amiability in human interrelations and which nurtures a climate that is favourable for deep communication is comprehensive attitude.
