COM 380 - Communication Ethics 2009-2010 Catalog Year
This course investigates the principles of ethical communication
applied to a variety of personal and public communication contexts.
For example, how do media persons reconcile freedom and
accountability, manage individual autonomy and ethical decision
making, communicate with truth, fairness and objectivity, deal with
the personal right to privacy and the public’s need to know? What
is truth and lying in the interpersonal context? What are the
ethical dimensions of whistle blowing? What are the ethical demands
placed on the advertising industry? The ultimate goals of the
course are that the students gain greater ethical insights, and
from these insights, develop the appropriate critical decision
making in their interpersonal and public lives.
PREREQ: nine hours in the department and junior or senior
standing or permission of the instructor. OFFERED: F1 CREDIT: 3
