 ==Aware==
-To fulfill the awareness requirement, writing should avoid use of stereotypes, generalities, and most importantly plagiarism.
+To fulfill the awareness requirement, writing should do the following:
+— Identify sources whenever feasible. The public is entitled to as much information as possible on sources' reliability
+— Never plagiarize.
+— Tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience boldly, even when it is unpopular to do so.
+— Examine their own cultural values and avoid imposing those values on others.
+— Avoid stereotyping by race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, geography, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance or social status.
+For more information on writing with awareness and the ethics of writing, whether it be for a blog, newspaper, or any other source of media, check out the (Society of Professional Journalist)[http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp SPJ Code of Ethics].
