Ethical Speaking Analysis Quinton Bryson BSBB1BYOB1 May 12th 2014 LISA MC CLAIN Ethical Speaking Analysis Speech ethics can be difficult to ascertain even when doing a simple sermon on a particular topic, this is what I have ran into on more than one occasion when listening to a pastor speak from the pulpit. Understanding religion is one of the hardest things to listen to and understand because there are varying ideas on the subject including the bible itself. There was a time when I only believed in one set of rules when it came to religion and how the bible was perceived, and with this I made some errors ethically when it came to the sermons of other religions, and I have studied more than a few in my time.
