Chapter 12

This chapter centers communication ethics on the good of learning as the constructive pragmatic response to an era defined by difference"(210).  There are many multiple goods that we encounter in life and understanding the differences that are around is vital for communication ethics.  In order to do this we must learn from others and the experiences they have.  The text talks about using the pragmatics of talking. This means that we value the difference while acknowledging the viewpoints of the other person. 

Very harsh ideas about politics have been brought up recentLy and the candidates continue to use bad press against each other. They do not accept the other people's view, but they value only their opinion. Having a strong opinion politics may be acceptable, but doing it correctly and nicely is the way to do it.
