Communication: A Critical/Cultural Introduction, 2e Warren & Fassett
Chapter 3: Public Advocacy: Commitments and Responsibility
Discussion Questions
1. Where have you seen deductive (or inductive) reasoning used effectively? What made it
work?
2. What types of fallacies do you most often see (in the classroom, in interpersonal
relationships, in advertisements, etc.)?
3. From what type of classroom interactions (i.e. “banking,” problem-posing, etc.) do you
learn best? What do you appreciate and find objectionable about each method for
learning?
4. Who do you consider to be an ethical public advocate? Someone who uses logic and
reasoning effectively? What is an example of a time when you’ve seen this person
advocate for something? Did the person use reflexivity, problem-posing, praxis? How?
5. Warren and Fassett note that reflecting on our own struggles and privileges can help us
find ways to enact change on social issues. What are your everyday struggles? In what
ways are you privileged? How might identifying these struggles and privileges help you
find ways to enact social change?
