The Debate

We were grouped into two teams and the motion was: The only way to practise ethical PR is to work in the not for profit (NFP)sector, everything else is corporate and political propaganda.

My group were against the motion.We said: It is possible to practise ethical PR in all sectors, not for profit organisations though always deemed as ethical may not always be.
We gave examples of the not for profit sector (which is made up of charities, voluntary organisations, community and interest groups)that may be unethical in their doings.They are not always nice and fluffy (love that phrase as regards the NFPS,got it from luke). We also expantiated on propaganda as not neccesarily a bad tool.Not for profit organisations also use propaganda to stir emotions either to promote their cause or to fundraise.
Also other sectors such as the corporate sector who are profit driven use CSR(corporate social responsibility) to cater to the larger society ethically.

We won the debate.

Well done,Margarita and Luke!!!
