Question

Describe a time that you encountered an unethical speaker (preferably in a public situation, but a small group or interpersonal situation will suffice). How was the speaker speaking unethically? What tipped you off that they were speaking unethically? What could they have done differently to avoid being unethical?

Answer 1

There was a situation when I encountered an unethical speaker in the society meeting where the elections were going on for the next society secretary. In that meeting, each candidate was given a chance to ask for a vote from the members to be the next secretary. Among all, there was also the former secretary who was participating as a candidate.
The speaker was speaking unethically by making promises to the members like the last time he made. he was asking for their votes in the exchange of some benefits like allowing a delay in paying bills and social gathering after 10 pm on the society roof.
The thing that tipped me off while he was speaking was that he was making all the false promises again and fooling members like he did the last time. Lying, not fulfilling the society norms, and not follow the responsibilities are some of the unethical conduct that I have faced before, and the same thing he is claiming now.
The candidate could have been science, true, and decent while making all the promises to the members. another thing he could have done is to apologize for the last time when he did not fulfill all the promises made. A sincere way of taking and avoiding false promises would have certainly avoided being unethical speaking.
