Orientational ethics are of paramount importance in the context of public discourse, and especially ethical discourse, due to their influence on shaping public opinion or personal opinion, and on the value-based concepts that are intended to be accepted among people in a given society. Therefore, the orientational school of thought has focused on this method of transmitting ethics, taking into account what is acceptable or unacceptable in this orientation based on truthfulness and sincerity in conveying the ethical discourse, so that it may influence individual or collective behavior. Here, it becomes clear that orientation requires a conscious strategy for determining what is acceptable in the public consciousness of individuals, and for understanding personal impressions of the orientation statements, regardless of whether they are legal, ethical, educational, or religious in nature. This necessitates, firstly, behavioral consistency between words and deeds, secondly, improving the means of conveying the discourse, and thirdly, carefully selecting the social sample to which the ethical discourse and its content are directed.
