Did you consider any of the standards or guidelines discussed in the chapter? Did any of these standards help you make your decision? ● An ethical dilemma I have faced was during a softball game my coach told me to purposely walk a player that is known for hitting home runs so they don’t get a run in. I decided that it wasn’t right and that would be considered cheating so I ended up pitching how I usually would and struck her out. I considered the situational standard because as a softball player you should never cheat and everyone should have an equal chance to win. I also didn’t believe in cheating and it would go against my values as a person.

It can also happen when you paraphrase someone else's ideas without giving them credit.

3.3 NCA Credo Can you think of a speech topic that might violate the NCA Credo? Do you think that some speech topics should be banned from being presented in the classroom? ● A speech topic that might violate the NCA credo is a speech about a certain religion and why you shouldn’t be that religion.
