Ethics in visual communication.

Considering what visual communication is, it is almost not ethical at all.  The entire idea is to persuade some group to do or think some way.  In this frame of thought, all visual communication is unethical.  There is no topic that too taboo for the media anymore, and they will use it to its full extent to make the audience think the way they want them to.  Television, for instance, has no moral allegiance anymore.  They will show homosexuality, drug abuse, adultery, they even mock religions (all religions).  There are certain things that children should not be able to turn on the TV and see.  But the television media makes all this and more available at the flip of a switch.
