11/9. Guest Lecture—“Further reflections on ethics in health communication.” Prof. David H. Lee (Communication/Humanities)

Please watch Dr. Lee’s second lecture in its entirety.

Then, make two posts below according to the following instructions. These comments are due before the following class period (i.e. before 4:00pm on Thursday, 11/11).

The first one is your own individual thoughts and response to the lecture. This post should be at least 75 words long. You should interact with main ideas, although what you say is up to you. You may want to criticize an idea, agree with something, or offer further insight or thoughts about some topic discussed by our guest. Or, you may want to pose a question for others about the lecture. I expect the post to interact with the content of the actual lecture, and not just the day’s topic or other thoughts you may be having.

The second post is an interactive comment, posted as a response to another student’s comment. There is no length requirement on this post.
