| the potter box model of reasoning: Convictions, Conflict, and Moral Reasoning David J. McMillan, 2021-12-14 The primary focus of this volume is to bring to the fore the contribution of McClendon and Smith's work on convictions and the application of that work in helping understand the processes of moral reasoning in the context of conflict. Both were indebted to Zuurdeeg, and their concept was incorporated in models of moral reasoning by Baptist scholars Glen Stassen and Parush Parushev. The usefulness of the concept is critically evaluated. The volume concludes with a case study on the conflict in Northern Ireland, including the role of religion and the key issues raised in the referendum on the Belfast Agreement in 1998. It includes an examination of the contribution of four Christian groups in Northern Ireland who publicly engaged in this six-week period of intense and passionate debate on the Agreement and the difficult issues it addressed, as the focus for examining and testing the application of the model of moral reasoning. On the basis of the case study is demonstrated that the concept of convictions can prove to be a helpful means of getting to the heart of what drives moral reasoning in contexts of conflict. The purpose of this book is to issue a call to engage with, critique, and consider the importance and application of a much undervalued methodological approach to discerning the convictions that are the primary influencers of thought and action. |

| the potter box model of reasoning: Doing Ethics in Media Jay Black, Chris Roberts, 2011-04-19 Doing Ethics in Media: Theories and Practical Applications is an accessible, comprehensive introduction to media ethics. Its theoretical framework and grounded discussions engage students to think clearly and systematically about dilemmas in the rapidly changing media environment. The 13-chapter text is organized around six decision-making questions— the 5Ws and H of media ethics. The questions encourage students to articulate the issues; apply codes, policies or laws; consider the needs of stakeholders; sift and sort through conflicting values; integrate philosophic principles; and pose a test of publicity. Specifically, the questions ask: • What’s your problem? • Why not follow the rules? • Who wins, who loses? • What’s it worth? • Who’s whispering in your ear? • How’s your decision going to look? As they progress through the text, students are encouraged to resolve dozens of practical applications and increasingly complex case studies relating to journalism, new media, advertising, public relations, and entertainment. Other distinctive features include: • Comprehensive materials on classic moral theory and current issues such as truth telling and deception, values, persuasion and propaganda, privacy, diversity, and loyalty. • A user-friendly approach that challenges students to think for themselves rather than imposing answers on them. • Consistent connections between theories and the decision-making challenges posed in the practical applications and case studies. • A companion website with online resources for students, including additional readings and chapter overviews, as well as instructor materials with a test bank, instructor’s manual, sample syllabi and more. www.routledge.com/textbooks/black • A second website with continuously updated examples, case studies, and student writing – www.doingmediaethics.com. Doing Ethics in Media is aimed at undergraduates and graduate students studying media ethics in mass media, journalism, and media studies.

| the potter box model of reasoning: The Communicator's Guide to Media Law and Ethics Mark Pearson, 2023-11-23 This book offers an introduction to the key legal and ethical topics confronting Australian journalists and strategic communicators both at home and internationally and offers a suite of reflective techniques for navigating them. It starts by positioning morals, ethics, and the law in their historical and philosophical frameworks by tracing the evolution of free expression and professional media ethics. Media law and ethics are then contextualized in their modern international human rights framework. Readers are equipped with a skill set for reflecting on the law and ethics of professional media dilemmas – including mindful reflection, the Potter Box, journaling, concept mapping, and discussion. Such approaches are then applied to key topic areas, including free expression; reputation; confidentiality; privacy; justice; intellectual property; national security; discrimination and harassment; and conflicted interests. Each is examined in terms of its philosophical underpinnings, relationship to human rights, professional ethical context, international examples, legal principles, key Australian laws, legal cases, and strategies for applying reflective practice techniques. It concludes on a confident note – imploring communicators to engage in constructive and mindful strategic communication with the authority and confidence that results from a working knowledge of media law and ethics. This handbook is for professional communicators and students in all fields, but particularly in journalism, public relations, corporate communication, media relations, and marketing. |

| the potter box model of reasoning: The VaKE Handbook , 2022-04-04 Values without knowledge are blind, while knowledge without values is irresponsible. This principle underlines the motivation to write this book. It presents VaKE, Values and Knowledge Education, a theoretical model based on constructivist learning theories, and many examples for its practical implementation in diverse educational fields. Thanks to its extensive theoretical foundation, the model opens up almost unlimited possibilities to tailor the course to the needs of the participants and to the dynamics of a process. The justification of ethical values is attributed a general importance for the development of personality as well as for the thriving and flourishing living with each other in a society. School education aims at providing respective knowledge. However, this knowledge is separated from the subject matters, whereas for its application in daily life both – knowledge on facts as well as on values – are necessary and indispensable for evaluation, assessment and decision making. |

| the potter box model of reasoning: Professional Communication Ethics Matthew Reavy, 2023-04-21 During more than a decade working in public relations, marketing, and journalism, the author encountered many ethical problems; people often differed about what constituted “right” action. As a professor, he was motivated to write a succinct book on mass communication ethics that includes sufficient background for readers to learn to reason through problems ethically and to make decisions that consider the needs of all parties affected by the consequences of actions taken. The constant stream of information, misinformation, and images from rapidly evolving technology and social media platforms challenge media professionals to assess problematic issues and their effects on audiences. Ethical concerns mount regarding accuracy, fairness, loyalty, diversity, manipulation, and deception. Reavy’s highly accessible work discusses the philosophical foundations of ethics, examines the strengths and weaknesses of formal ethical codes, analyzes models for making ethical decisions, and provides examples from multiple communication professions. It introduces practical, systematic processes to guide consumers in addressing ethical dilemmas in increasingly complex situations. The emphasis is on reasoning—from defining the problem to identifying who is involved to ascertaining conflicting values to applying ethical principles to reaching a decision. The six applied chapters that look at issues (public interest, truth, conflicts of interest, privacy, confidentiality, and visual ethics) conclude with a case study. |
| the potter box model of reasoning: Journalism, Ethics and Society David Berry, 2016-05-06 Journalism, Ethics and Society provides a comprehensive overview and critical analysis of debates within media ethics in relation to the purpose of news and journalism for society. It assesses how the meaning of news and journalism is central to a discourse in ethics and further evaluates the continuing role of liberalism in helping to define both theory and practice. Its timely and topical analysis focuses on two of the most central concepts within media ethics and journalistic practice: the US based Public Journalism 'movement' and European Union media policies. It provides new ways of thinking about media ethics and will be of interest to students and researchers working within the field of media, cultural studies and journalism, as well as scholars of philosophy. |
| the potter box model of reasoning: Characteristics of a Profession Artur Victoria, 2025-04-02 The sociological understanding of 'professions' goes beyond a simple job description to address the complex interplay of expertise, social power and ethical responsibility. Defining a profession requires going beyond the superficial aspects of work to consider the intricate web of social structures and relationships that shape the practice and perception of different occupations. This is not a static definition, but a dynamic process subject to historical and societal influences. A key characteristic is the possession and application of specialised knowledge. This knowledge is not just technical skills, but a deep understanding of principles, theories and methodologies that requires extensive education and training. This expertise is the basis of professional authority and legitimacy. It enables professionals to make informed judgements and decisions that others who lack this expertise cannot. This expertise isn't simply acquired through rote learning; it's refined through experience and continuing professional development, further enhancing the professional's authority and credibility. Another characteristic is autonomy. Professions have considerable control over their own work processes. This includes setting standards of practice, regulating entry to the profession and maintaining disciplinary mechanisms for members who breach these standards. This self-regulation is crucial in ensuring the quality of professional work and the protection of the public interest. The medical profession, for example, sets rigorous standards for medical education and licensing to ensure that only qualified individuals can practice medicine. Similarly, the legal professions maintain strict codes of conduct and disciplinary procedures to deal with instances of professional misconduct, thus maintaining the integrity of the legal system. However, this autonomy is not absolute; it's a negotiated balance, constantly refined by societal expectations and legal frameworks. The degree of autonomy varies from profession to profession and is often challenged by external forces such as government regulation or technological advances. The concept of self-regulation is inextricably linked to the ethical responsibilities inherent in professional practice. Professions are expected to adhere to strict ethical codes that place the welfare of their clients or patients above personal gain. These ethical codes are more than a set of rules; they represent a commitment to uphold the trust that society places in professionals. Breaches of this trust can have devastating consequences, eroding public confidence and undermining the legitimacy of the profession. Medical malpractice, legal malpractice and engineering failures all illustrate the potentially disastrous consequences of professionals failing to meet their ethical obligations. The ethical dimension reinforces the social contract between professionals and the public - a reciprocal agreement whereby professionals receive privileged status in exchange for service to the public good. Distinguishing professions from mere occupations highlights the essential distinction between expertise and specialised knowledge. While occupations involve specific skills and training, professions involve a higher degree of autonomy, self-regulation and ethical responsibility. The distinction isn't always clear-cut, and some professions aspire to professional status, a process known as professionalization. This process typically involves a formalised educational structure, the establishment of professional associations, the development of professional codes of conduct, and efforts to gain legal recognition and regulatory authority. The evolution of nursing from a largely informal occupation to a highly regulated profession over the last century illustrates this dynamic. The historical development of professions provides a rich background for understanding their current characteristics. The medical profession, for example, underwent a long process of professionalization, moving from a largely unregulated practice to a highly specialised and regulated field. This process involved the development of medical schools, the establishment of licensing boards and the creation of professional associations. The legal profession followed a similar trajectory, with the establishment of law schools, bar associations and rigorous licensing requirements. However, the trajectories of different professions were different, influenced by social, economic and political forces. The interplay of these forces highlights the social construction of professions - their characteristics and boundaries are not inherent, but rather shaped by social processes and power dynamics. The digital age has brought significant changes to the scenery of professions. Technological advances have affected the nature of professional work, blurring traditional limitations and creating new opportunities and challenges. Telemedicine, online legal services and remote engineering consultations have changed the way professionals interact with their clients and colleagues. This digital transformation also requires the adaptation of ethical frameworks and regulatory mechanisms to address unique challenges such as data privacy, cyber security, and the potential for bias in algorithmic decision-making. The evolving nature of professional work in the digital age requires continuous reassessment of professional standards to ensure they remain relevant and effective in a rapidly changing world. This ongoing adaptation demonstrates the dynamic nature of professions, a constant negotiation between established norms and emerging realities. Exploring these changes is essential to understanding the future of professions and their role in society. The rapid pace of change requires an ongoing dialogue between professionals, policy makers and the public to ensure that professional practice remains aligned with societal values and expectations. The ongoing challenge is to promote a balance between innovation and ethical considerations, and to maintain the integrity and public trust that underpin the professional enterprise. Professional power is not simply the ability to perform a specific task; it's a multifaceted phenomenon woven into the fabric of social control. It derives from the specialised knowledge and skills that professionals possess, giving them authority and influence far beyond the technical aspects of their work. This power manifests itself in a variety of ways, shaping social norms, influencing policy decisions and even affecting the distribution of resources and opportunities. The ability to diagnose disease, represent clients in court, or design safe infrastructure all carry an inherent power that stems from societal dependence on these specialised skills. However, this dependence requires careful consideration of the potential for misuse and abuse of this power. |

| the potter box model of reasoning: Managing Privacy H. Jeff Smith, 2017-10-06 The ongoing revolution in electronic information technology raises critical questions about our right to privacy. As more personal information is gathered and stored at breathtaking speed, corporate America is confronted with the ethical and practical issues of how to handle the information in its databases: how should it be safeguarded and who should have access to it? In Managing Privacy, Jeff Smith examines the policies of corporations such as insurance companies, banks, and credit card firms that regularly process medical, financial, and consumer data. According to Smith, many companies lack comprehensive policies regulating the access to and distribution of personal data, and where stated policies do exist, actual practices often conflict. Few organizations are willing to become leaders in the development of such policies, instead formulating privacy guidelines only after being pressured by consumers, the media, or legislators. Smith argues that as information technology advances, both corporations and society as a whole must modify their approaches to privacy protection, and he presents specific suggestions for developing such policies.

Dillon, 2002-03-30 Certain films seem to encapsulate perfectly the often abstract ethical situations that confront the media, from truth-telling and sensationalism to corporate control and social responsibility. Using these movies—including Ace in the Hole, All the President's Men, Network, and Twelve Angry Men—as texts, authors Howard Good and Michael Dillon demonstrate that, when properly framed and contextualized, movies can be a powerful lens through which to examine media practices. Moreover, cinema can present human moral conduct for evaluation and analysis more effectively than a traditional case study can. By presenting ethical dilemmas and theories within a dramatic framework, Media Ethics Goes to the Movies offers a unique perspective on what it means for media professionals to be both technically competent and morally informed. |

| the potter box model of reasoning: Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 National Research Council, Institute of Medicine, Board on Children, Youth, and Families, Committee on the Science of Children Birth to Age 8: Deepening and Broadening the Foundation for Success, 2015-07-23 Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children. |
| the potter box model of reasoning: PR AS PERSONS IN RELATION Dr. Joseph Parackal, 2016-12-05 Many scholars and practitioners opine that public relations are all about building and maintaining an organization's relationship with its public. As human relationships depend on personal interactions, so, it naturally necessitates ethical as well as anthropological aspects. In fact, a vast majority of the scholars have already portrayed the ethical responsibility of the organization and the practitioner while dealing with various people. But a few of them have pointed out that public relation is needed to view anthropological perspectives, which, in turn, will be significant and virtuous for human beings. Accordingly, practical functional approach is the foremost requirement to overcome in dealing with the public relationships. Therefore, while exploring the public relations literature, we have tried to integrate these three aspects (relational, ethical and anthropological) and propose a reasonable ethical framework for the professional practice of public relations based on the dignity of the person. |
