Communication Ethics
Learning Objective 1: Explain Johannesen, Valde, and Whedbee's (2008) three factors for understanding ethics in human communication.
Learning Objective 2: Understand Andersen's (2007) three audiences for communication ethics.
Learning Objective 3: Differentiate among the three ways individuals understand ethics described by Arnett, Harden Fritz, and Bell (2009).
Question 1: Look at a recent copy of Business Week, The WALL Street JOURNAL, FAST COMPANY, Forbes MAGAZINE, or another business-oriented publication. Find an example of communication ethics and then evaluate that example through each of the three levels of ethical understanding (source, receiver, & society) discussed by Andersen (2007).
Question 2: Why do you think Arnett, Harden Fritz, and Bell (2009) argue that learning is the first principle of ethics? Why is learning more valuable than either commonsense or theories?
