Why Are Ethics Changing?

The ethics we use to relate to each other has changed as the methods of communication have changed. The evolution of communication from writing a letter to email to texting has caused an evolution of the way in which we address others and show them respect. Writing a letter you would at least include a name of who you were writing to (Mr. Jones, Mrs. Burns, etc.), with email you might include their name in the body of the email but most of the time it may only show in the address bar and with texting there is no name at all just a phone number. This progression has caused a change in how we address other and the ethics around respect for others. Before email and texting you would never consider contacting your teacher and addressing them by first name only or only sending a message to their phone number.
