#1: Review the situation below and answer the question below thoroughly and completely.

Robert is preparing a speech about legalizing marihuana use in the United States. He knows that his roommate wrote a paper on the topic last semester and asks his roommate about the paper in attempt to gather information. During his speech, Robert orally cites his roommate by name as source of information but does not report that the sources is his roommate, whose experience is based on writing a paper.

1. In what way(s) does Robert’s behavior violate the guidelines required for ethics in public

speaking?

2. Who does this behavior affect?

#2: Review the scenario below and answer questions below thoroughly and completely.

Jonathan sat starting at his computer screen. The previous two days had been the most disastrous weekend of his entire life. First, his girlfriend broke up with him on Friday and informed him that she was dating his best friend behind his back. Then he got a phone call from his mother informing him that his childhood dog had been hit by a car. In addition, if that was not enough, his car died on the way to work, and since it was his third unexcused absence from work, he was fired.

In the midst of all of these crises, Johnathan was supposed to be preparing his persuasive speech for his public speaking class. Admittedly, Jonathan had had the two weeks prior to work on his speech, but he had not gotten around to it, and thought he could pull it together over the weekend. Now at 1:00 AM on Monday morning, he finally got a chance to sit down at this computer to prepare the speech he was giving in about 9 ½ hours.

His topic was prison reform. He searched through a number of websites and finally found one that seemed very relevant. As he read through the first paragraph, he thought to himself, “This is exactly what I wanted to say!” After two paragraphs, the information just stopped, and the website asked him to pay $29.95 for the rest of the speech. Without even realizing it, Jonathan had found a speech mill website. Jonathan found himself reaching for his wallet thinking, “Well, it says what I want it to say, so why not? Besides, I’m tired and just want to go to bed.”

a. What are some ethical decisions could Jonathan have made?

b. What could have prevented Jonathan’s situation?

c. What risks does Jonathan face if he goes ahead with speech from the speech mill?

c. Is it ever ethical to use a speech from a speech mill?

d. What are some of the common reasons students give for plagiarizing?

#3: Review the following situation and thoroughly and completely answer the questions that follow:

“You’ve got to be kidding me!” Fatima thought to herself as she received the mail from her boss. She read the email, hoping that something would change on the screen:

“Fatima, I need you to prepare a presentation on what our company has done in the past year for Mrs. Jorgensen. She’s old. Just keep it simple. Leave out any of the complex materials because it will probably just bore her anyways. – John”

Fatima joined R&R Consulting right after Anthony Jorgensen, the founder and CEO, had passed away. While Penelope Jorgensen inherited the major stake in the firm and was listed as the firm’s CEO, the day-to-day running of operations was given to John Preston, the chief operating officer.

Fatima stared at her screen and wondered to what extent she should follow John‘s advice and “Keep it simple.” She’d only meet Mrs. Jorgensen twice, but she’d always seemed to be pretty knowledgeable about the inner workings of the firm. Sure, Mrs. Jorgensen wasn’t an expert in the field, but should she be treated like a helpless little old lady? Not only is that sexist, it’s completely ageist! On the other hand, John’s words may have been chose poorly, but maybe all Mrs. Jorgensen really wanted was a quick snapshot of what’s going on here?

Fatima sat in silence for a few minutes, opened up PowerPoint, and just started at her monitor trying to figure out the best way to proceed.

1. Do you think John’s email to Fatima expressed unethical audience analysis? Why or why

not?

2. How do you think Fatima should proceed?

4. Select a possible topic that you could use for your audience (our class). Identify the kinds of

information about your audience you would need in order to make ethical decisions about how you

approach your speech.
