          Five years ago, I decided to study Media and Communication in my Bachelor degree then I found myself in specific major witch is Public Relation because it is an art you can through it add and develop many skills to yourself, but for me, the very important thing is developing communicate with others. I strongly like to get my Masters degree in the same major which is Public Relation. 

        Media ethics has many definitions because it is difficult to identify one definition, but in general I think that media ethics is to know the right from the wrong when you practice the media work. There are a lot of scenarios that may face any one working in the media sector like, exposure to bribe which is kind of gifts or privileges or preferential treatment. Further, Lack of honesty in the media work causes many problems and result to damage the work and everything.  

         There are concerns in the ethics of the Media it is not new, but they have intensified and rose during the past few years in response to changes in the world. For example, there is no honesty and accuracy in the presentation of the facts, Note that the truth is the only way and the foundation to get to the truth.  Also, must be commitment, objectivity, impartiality and integrity during the process of the transfer of the news, not be biased by any of the parties and display the subject, news, event and the image as it is, especially when it deals with the events of interest to the community.     

  

      We all have strengths and weaknesses and it will appear with the days or through some of the situations that happen to us in this life. I believe that every person with knowledge of the values and ethics because that is what determines the character of each one of us, but we must promote good morals so, that we advancement of ourselves and our societies. While the law defines what can and cannot do in a given situation, the ethical principles set you what to do. It is based on values personal, professional, social, moral and arise from the proper mindset. And ethical decision making simply means applying these values in your daily work.

 

       Decision-making is very important issue not just in media or any job but in our life first. It requires great courage and self-confidence which is one of my personal qualities. These two qualities always help me to make any decision in my life whether is scientific or practical or personal decision.

      In the first chapter there were a number of different theories like utilitarian theory of society which they can help all people how to deal with ethical dilemmas. Also, the idea of sectarian theory offers to people a fair society and all people have the same rights.
