Answer:

Yes, she was following the ethical guidelines.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethical guidelines during public speaking primarily involve objectivity, integrity, and righteousness in the subject matter and conduct. The speech needs to be well prepared, the objective must be ethical and display loyalty towards the audience.

Kami seems to be following these guidelines as her objective is fair i.e. 'to make the readers understand about the harms of chatting while driving.' To convince the readers more effectively, she uses an emotional anecdote of a high school student who was killed in a car accident as he was traveling with a person who was texting while driving. This emotional article makes her idea more powerful and convincing which helps in justifying her purpose and persuading the audience to not use phone while driving especially texting.
