Ethical Responsibility



A speaker should follow his/her ethical responsibilities when developing presentation media for a speech. Since technology has gotten so advanced in this society, many times original credit is taken from the content often belong to. Sometimes a piece of media is transferred so many times through the internet. As a speaker whenever any type of media is used whether it is a video, audio, photographs or a conversation, credit along with a citation of the source should be provided. To do this in presentational media I think it could be done in two ways when something is displayed an individual can orally cite the source of the media or who it belongs to. Let’s say a speaker is presenting a photograph taken by someone on a visual presentation such as a PowerPoint, when the picture is displayed the speaker can say, “This picture taken by so and so…”. An easier way to do this if the speaker does not want to orally cite would be to mention credits on the PowerPoint underneath the piece of media they’re referring to.

  1. I agree that sometimes the information gets transferred so often that the credit being given is inaccurate or taken out of content. I also know that sometimes it is difficult to remember to orally cite your sources. I agree with you also that it is easiest to put the source on the PowerPoint on the bottom right. That way it's right in front of you, the audience sees it and it will be just about impossible to forget it.
