Communication Ethics: Methods of Analysis

Abstract

Introduction:  The very nature of ethics penetrates the fabric of human life from the common and everyday events to the corporate boardrooms and political thinktanks that develop national security policy.  No human being is immune from having to make ethical choices.  To be human is to choose and many choices in our lives will be ethical ones.  Choices from the mundane to the critical and choices from the interpersonal to the international will influence our human condition.  The authors James A. Jaksa and Michael S. Pritchard have provided a powerful teaching tool in their recent book Communication Ethics--Methods of Analysis.
