Ethos and Moral Rights

Ethos refers to the character, values, and credibility of a speaker or organization, which influences how their message is received. It’s about building trust and showing expertise or moral integrity. Moral rights are the fundamental rights that individuals have based on principles of justice and fairness, such as the right to free expression or privacy. Both concepts emphasize ethical responsibility: ethos focuses on trustworthiness and reputation, while moral rights protect individuals’ inherent dignities and freedoms. Together, they guide ethical behavior and decision-making in communication and interactions.
