    1. It is difficult to deal with unethical practices when they surface in the workplace. The hardest part may be simply raising the issue with your co-workers and/or supervisor.

      In my own personal experiences I have unfortunately had some coworkers who had some unethical practices. Luckily I was okay with talking to my supervisor and bringing it up. However it did make me realize how important it is to mind the unethical practices as they can lead to many more issues.

    2. A good writer with bad motives can twist words to make something sound like it is beneficial to all parties. The audience may find out too late that what you wrote only benefited you and actually hurt them.

      This creates a strong connection within encounters that we all experience. No one enjoys missing out on information that eventually leads to being hurt. For example I know people that have been told that they would be receiving a bonus that they went out and spent the money they are under the impression they would receive only to get hurt by not receiving said bonus.

    3. Once you are on the job, you cannot leave out numbers that show you are behind or over-budget on a project, no matter how well it may work once it is completed. Be cautious when using figures, charts and tables, making sure they visually represent quantities with accuracy and honesty.

      Once again integrity is on full display as an important ethical topic of concern. In this particular case, it mentions how important it is to be transparent with all information. Leaving out certain numbers or reports is not acting with integrity and would cause many people to lose **respect. ** Being a good writer includes the bad sides as well.

    4. Whether you are writing for colleagues within your workplace or outside vendors or customers, you will want to build a solid, well-earned, favorable reputation for yourself with your writing. Your goal is to maintain and enhance your credibility, and that of your organization, at all times.

      Viability can only be created through this process of building up one's credibility. However, if one writes with integrity than there is no reason to need to worry about having a poor reputation. Respect will also play a massive role within this.

    5. In a technical report that contains research, a writer might discover conflicting data that does not support the project’s goal. For example, your small company continues to have problems with employee morale.

      Highlighted here is an very important piece. In order to truly abide to ethics being transparent is part of the game. Finding out information that does not help out and can even hinder is bound to happen. However, it would not be ethical to lie against the truth. People would lose **respect. **

    6. if you are writing a report for a group of physical therapists on the latest techniques for rehabilitating knee surgery patients, you should be aware of the code of ethics for physical therapists so that you work within those principles as you research and write your report.

      This can be applied back to a couple different ethical implications as the trust that is needed in this case to be truthful to physical therapists is important. Along with that the rule of law is something to pay attention to as well. Minding everything in your report to be accurate to physical therapy is crucial.

    1. I would raise him to be an Indian

      This last sentence is big because the author finishes with a last point of what he would like. And the best part about all of it is that everything is very achievable.

    2. But all this must not perish; it must live, to the end thatAmerica shall be educated no longer to regard native production of whatever tribe — folk-story, basketry, pottery,dance, song, poetry — as curios, and native artists as curiosities.

      He ends the essay strong and with exigence towards his goal of keeping his culture alive. Every part of the essay leads up to this and does so in a good way.

    3. We cannot have back the days of the buffaloand beaver; we cannot win back our clean blood-streamand superb health, and we can never again expect thatbeautiful rapport we once had with Nature

      This is remembering the good that they had and acknowledging that it will not ever be back. Throughout all the essay he is reasonable and is very aware of everything happening and it makes the essay that much better.

    4. Then there are the songs of death and the spiritual songswhich are connected with the ceremony of initiation

      He is making a point across that Indian life was complex and that part of that was the music and the songs. He believes the dancing and music was with one in their lifestyle.

    5. But it is now time for a destructive order to be reversed,and it is well to inform other races that the aboriginalculture of America was not devoid of beauty. Furthermore, in denying the Indian his ancestral rights and heritages the white race is but robbing itself. But Americacan be revived, rejuvenated, by recognizing a nativeschool of thought. The Indian can save America

      This is a really big claim, however he breaks it down and in doing so proves his point and is correct. Going back to where it started is a good idea and is a good way to build a strong foundation.

    6. No longer should the Indian be dehumanizedin order to make material for lurid and cheap fiction toembellish street-stands. Rather, a fair and correct historyof the native American should be incorporated in thecurriculum of the public school.

      This a really good point and gets me thinking what have been the lies that were told to me? I hope that the truth about everything starts to get told more often so that people can be educacted on what is actually correct not what the bias's are.

    7. However, despite the fact that Indian schools havebeen established over several generations, there is adearth of Indians in the professions. It is most noticeableon the reservations where the numerous positions of consequence are held by white employees instead of trainedIndians. For instance, why are not the stores, post-offices,and Government office jobs on the Sioux Reservationheld by trained Indians? Why cannot Sioux be reservation nurses and doctors; and road-builders too?

      He's making a point that despite white man saying that they are trying to remember Indians and give them a good life they are not good enough to do the day to day jobs and need white men to do it for them. That is a deeply dangerous and messed up thing for anyone to do.

    8. I say again that Indians should teach Indians; thatIndians should serve Indians, especially on reservationswhere the older people remain.

      This is a good point because how are people expected to be connected to who they are if they are removed entirely from the process of who got them there. He's making a ton of good points that are all reasonable from any perspective.

    9. Rather, let the white brother face about and cast hismental eye upon a new angle of vision. Let him look uponthe Indian world as a human world; then let him see to itthat human rights be accorded to the Indians.

      Now he is talking about seeing the Indians as equals from a white mans perspective. He wants the Indians to have human rights because they are in the human world.

    10. But all the years of calling the Indian a savage has nevermade him one; all the denial of his virtues has never takenthem from him; and the very resistance he has made to savethe things inalienably his has been his saving strength —that which will stand him in need when justice does makeits belated appearance and he undertakes rehabilitation

      This is a really important part because the fact that being told they were savages never turned them into one is a really strong motivation that they are good people. All this adds up with the rest of the points to his bigger picture.

    11. But granting thismode of reasoning be correct and just, then where are to beplaced the thousands of illiterate whites who are unable toread and write? Are they, too, 'savages' ?

      He uses the examples of the double standards present to prove that there was a greater injustice going on. If there wasn't the whites that could not read and write would be savages too.

    12. The white man does not understand the Indian for thereason that he does not understand America. He is too farremoved from its formative processes.

      Being involved in the formative processes is important. He is explaining that to understand something one needs to be involved in it and since the white man was not he does not understand.

    13. Out of the Indian approach toexistence there came a great freedom — an intense and absorbing love for nature; a respect for fife; enriching faithin a Supreme Power; and principles of truth, honesty, generosity, equity, and brotherhood as a guide to mundanerelations.

      With this statement that the Indian approach bringing a great freedom, the author is able to start to bring across part of his point about Indians. His reasoning is good and I like the fact that he talks about the brotherhood.

    14. He once grew asnaturally as the wild sunflowers; he belongs just as thebuffalo belonged.

      Belonging can be included in the rhetorical appeal as audience is a part of it. When the author is talking about belonging here is talking about how the American Indian belongs just as the sunflowers and buffalo which is on a deep level. He is trying t connect the earth and the people which go along together to get the audiences attention.

      For this statement to be true everyone needs to be included in it, therefore showing women should have equal rights.
