Document Summary
Chapter 2: perspectives on ethics in persuasion: as receivers and senders of persuasion: We have the responsibility to uphold appropriate ethical standards, to encourage freedom of inquiry and expression, and to promote public debate as crucial to democratic decision making. Filling duties and obligations: elements of ethical responsibility, questions about audience adaptation. : does the result justify the tactics used: the ethics of ends and means. Saying the ends don"t always justify the means is different from saying that the ends never justify means: receivers have ethical responsibilities as well. Human nature: don"t cheat, don"t steal, don"t kill, ect. Should people be allowed to do things based on the government? (is it ok to deny felons the right to vote?) Dialogical: ask us to consider the world as a dialog. Engage in a conversation with both active participants. Golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
