The Ethics of Quality of Life for the Postmodern Communicators: An Analytic Appreciative and Applicative study

Abstract

This research aims to understand why it is necessary to have a border between law, ethic, morals, code of conduct, and custom. It uses the philosophical approach to find the best answers that are the most compromising possible for all parties and the most superior reasons.

The results from the study found that the reason of antagonist who disagrees with having a border between law, ethic, morals, code of conduct, and custom can be divided into two groups:

1) Deontologism was a group of people who disagree with having a border between law, ethic, morals, code of conduct, and custom and they believe that every problem depend on intention. If communicators have good intentions which act on practical reason and strict in moral, they will became effective communicators who contribute to the country.

2) Utilitarianism was a group of people who disagree with having a border between law, ethic, morals, code of conduct, and custom and they believe that every problem depend on results of actions. If the result of communicator’s action is not an illegal, they will become effective communicators who contribute to the country.

Criticism of antagonist’s reason found the weakness of two groups as the following;

The weakness of Functionalist was that “Using the sense of duty was only effective at individual level but ineffective at social level”.

The weakness of Utilitarian was “Lacking of training motivation to everybody in the society to have an intention to seeking the benefit for public”.

Based on the study it can be suggested that it is necessary to have a border between law, ethic, morals, code of conduct, and custom because it can make effective communicators who can make the best contribution to the country. The effective communicators will know what they should to do as being a good citizen by law, adherence to moral and ethical principles by philosopher’s suggestion, being a good religion follower by priest or religion preacher’s conducting, and adherence to customs which is a historical background by cultural promoter’s conducting.
