Q Topic 1: Professional and Ethical Considerations You continue to make many decisions and choices about your Senior Capstone Project: Decisions you have made already to guide your work, as well as the decisions ahead of you as shape your work and put it in its professional form for your particular audience. Some of your decisions are guided by how you see the professional expectations in the field. These will have to do with assumptions about frameworks and what constitutes evidence, as well as decisions about appropriate form, format, and language for a particular audience (primary and/or secondary). For example, those of you who are writing speeches for other speakers have considered not only the evidence related to the issue, but also the position of the speaker and expectations of the audience. What constitutes credible evidence for one audience would not necessarily be the same for a different audience. Related to this set of professional decisions are a set (or subset) of decisions that concern your ethical behavior as a communication professional. The most frequent sort of decision here concerns persuasion and the use of evidence. How do you present your case fairly, but persuasively? Surely, you do not want to present a one-sided case, but you also want to be convincing and persuasive. How do you accomplish this within the ethical expectations? In this discussion describe at least one of each type of decision that you have already made or that you are currently considering (even one that you are struggling with). That is, describe one type of professional decision and one type of ethical decision that you are making. These may be related to one another. (For example, should you suppress evidence that clearly contradicts your position? Or do you present the evidence, but try to diminish its value? ) Write about these two types of decisions (or conflicts) in as much detail as you can. Please post your initial response to this prompt by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, changing the title of your post to include your name and your project's topic. Then, respond to the initial posts of at least two other students by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday. Continue your conversations through the end of the course week.
