Question

Filomena is the moderator of a Facebook page aimed at unseating a local politician. She is vehemently opposed to his policies and his personal behavior, so much so that in one post to the group she threatens to run him over with her car if she ever encounters him in town. What ethical guideline is she violating?
Responses
appropriateness
accuracy
fairness
objectivity

Answer 1

Filomena is violating the ethical guideline of **appropriateness**. Threatening violence, even in a figurative sense, is not appropriate behavior, particularly in a public forum. Such statements can incite harm and are not conducive to constructive political discourse.
