Safety Policy
Last Updated: 20 November 2023
The knowledge of rhetorics and rhetorical devices are a set of figures of speech that provide insights into debate, arguments, and discussion strategy. While the rhetorical devices can be empowering, they can also be misused in ways that harm or manipulate others. This Safety Policy is designed to provide parameters for responsible and ethical application of rhetorical devices.
Safety Principles
- Ethical Responsibility: It is the duty of every individual who is familiar with rhetorical figures to use what they have learned in a manner that benefits humanity and promotes ethical interactions.
- Non-Manipulative Use: Rhetoric skills should never be used to exploit, harm, or manipulate others for personal gain at the expense of others' well-being or integrity.
- Fair Application: Use these as tools for understanding debate dynamics, not as mechanisms for subjugating others .
- Transparency: Where possible, be transparent about your intentions and actions, so as to foster trust and mutual respect.
- Accountability: You are responsible for the consequences of your actions, whether you employ rhetorical figures for good or ill.
- Self-Protection, Not Aggression: Use the knowledge about rhetorical devices primarily as a means to protect oneself from manipulation or harm, rather than to instigate harm to others.
- Legal Conformity: Always ensure that the application of any law abides by the legal and regulatory frameworks within your jurisdiction.
- Continual Learning and Adaptation: Stay updated with varying perspectives on rhetorics and ethics to ensure a well-rounded application of these laws.
Guidelines
Do’s
- Do Use For Self-Awareness: Use knowledge about rhetorics to become more aware of your own actions, behavior, and motivations.
- Do Use For Mutual Benefit: Apply the knowledge in ways that can result in mutual benefit for all parties involved.
- Do Protect Yourself: Use the knowledge about rhetorics as a shield against manipulation and exploitation, not as a sword to harm others.
- Do Educate Others: Share the principles behind these rhetorical figures to help others understand debates and protect themselves from exploitation.
- Do Consult Ethical Guidelines: Before applying any rhetorical device, consult ethical guidelines and/or mentors to ensure that your actions will not result in harm to others.
Don’ts
- Don’t Exploit Vulnerability: Never use the rhetorical devices to take advantage of someone's vulnerability or ignorance.
- Don’t Bypass Consent: Do not apply these rhetorical devices in a way that overrides someone’s explicit lack of consent for a specific action or decision.
- Don't Misrepresent or Deceive: Always be truthful and avoid misrepresentation when using rhetorics.
- Don't Foster Harmful Dependencies: Do not use these rhetorical devices to create unhealthy dependencies.
- Don't Violate Legal Standards: Do not engage in actions that are illegal or that contravene professional codes of conduct.
Review and Monitoring
This Safety Policy is subject to ongoing review and may be updated to reflect changes in understanding or application of rhetorics.
