ethics of representation

The ethics of representation involve honestly and responsibly portraying people, groups, or ideas, ensuring their stories are accurate and respectful. It’s about avoiding misrepresentation, stereotypes, or biases that can harm or distort understanding. Whether in media, art, or advocacy, ethical representation requires careful consideration of how others are depicted, giving voice to marginalized groups and maintaining integrity. This ensures trust, fairness, and dignity in how individuals and communities are presented, fostering understanding and reducing harm.
