This class provides an overview of ethical theories and principles to develop a framework for ethical decision-making in the professional practice of public relations. The study of ethics helps identify the process public relations professionals use in order to make decisions about what course of action is the right one to take, and how to influence others to \"do the right thing\". Established codes of conduct and underlying ethical principles will be examined for their application to real, timely issues. This course provides students the opportunity to examine their own personal value system and compare it with the value systems inherent in what is conventionally described as ethical practice in public relations.
