Chapter eight relates to organizational communication ethics, which is defined as "the 'dwelling place' of communicative practices that form our life together" (137). According to the textbook, studies show that we spent up to 70 hours in some form of organization action, where our technology has been a crucial factor in have successful conversation with those in our "dwelling place." I think of dwelling place as a location where you spend most of your time interacting with a group of people to achieve a common goal; where you work.
Organizational communication addresses communicative practices and discourse processes among and between peers and between employees and leaders/managers" (140). It's imperative to understand that no organization is ethically neutral. Not everyone will be able to fit in comfortably in each place, but that's what makes communication so vital. Adjustments and change can be made to create a better culture or "dwelling place" where everyone is better suited to achieve their common goal. I think what's important to understand though is every organizational culture is different. One may be strict and one may be more easy-going. It's how you adapt and turn that into success that is key.
