Abstract: The average human being is exposed to an increasing number of communications in a variety of manners on a daily basis. Amongst the recipients of such communications are at times highly impressionable and/or disadvantaged individuals. Although the communicators would vehemently deny that they target such groups intentionally, ultimately their message is conveyed. At has been suggested that in one European language, the word propaganda actually means ‘advertising’. This paper aims to examine the ethicality of communications tools and find out whether such thing as an ethical communication vehicle exists. The expansion of on-line communications of recent years has added to the concern over the related ethical issues.
