Description

The capacity of speech to build and destroy trust, create and devastate relationships, fuel rivalry and bring peace gives language enormous power. The ways we use speech—oral, written or on the Internet—can build or destroy our communities. This volume provides a moral framework for how we use language, covering such issues as plagiarism, gossip, frankness, promises, criticism, contracts, references and confidentiality.
