Blog Critique - Michaela

I went back and looked at Michaela's thoughts on the readings for week 6, and this is the critique I left her:

"When I think law I think black and white. When I think ethics I think grey."

Michaela, this says so much. I never thought of putting it into such a simple analogy but it really helps define the roles of laws and ethics in addition to their differences and similarities.

Your experience in reading Law and Ethics for another subject is really evident to me. This seems to be a field you have a really strong grasp on, even if you aren't interested or keen on the 'grey' nature of the content related to ethics.

As I mentioned in my post, I was fairly overwhelmed by the vast rules and regulations, but judging by your post you seemed to readily understand all the content, including property law and things you mentioned you weren't previously aware of.

You defined your terms well, when addressing ideas such as defamation and property law, etc.

Amongst everything else you managed to sift out the crux of this weeks readings, as being "to beware of the legal implications as a pr practitioner and when in doubt of your legal obligations seek legal advice". I agree and I on the whole I think you really discussed the content clearly and articulately.

You certainly helped me get a better grasp on the real differences between laws and ethics, aside from the self-explanatory ones. Well done!
