Written as a core text for an undergraduate course in ethics and communications, this volume uses a theoretical foundation to discuss everyday examples of "classic communications ethics approaches" and sets them within a larger context for further classroom discussion. Arnett (communications and rhetorical studies, Duquesne U.), Fritz (communications and rhetorical studies, Duquesne U.) and Bell (business communications, Stevenson U.) use examples from educational, personal and professional life so that students can apply the "Dialogue Learning Model" to interpersonal and organizational settings. Each chapter begins with a specific ethics application that is relevant for students, and a corresponding literary example of ethics from Les Miserables.
