As Oscar and Max were finishing dinner, Max asked, “Have you figured out what you’re going to use for presentational aids in your speech next week in Professor Gilman’s class? I’m totally stumped.”Oscar looked up from his plate. “Oh, I am so ready,” he said. “I’m actually pretty pumped about mine.””Really?” Max raised an eyebrow. “So, what’s the plan?” “Well, you know I’m going to try to persuade the class to agree with me that the death penalty is wrong.” Oscar leaned in and lowered his voice. “I got ahold of an audio clip of someone writhing in pain during an execution. I’m going to play it while I show several photographs of people who have been executed. THAT should really make my speech memorable and my argument convincing!””Yikes!” Max said. “Are you sure that’s such a good idea?””Yeah, why not?”Is it ethical to use potentially offensive presentational aids, if doing so will make your speech more memorable or your argument more convincing? Why, or why not?Could Oscar achieve his goal using different presentational aids? If so, which type would be most effective?
