Explain the ethical considerationsin answeringthe following question:

"Should a speaker ever use racy, obscene, or questionable language in speech?" What will be an ideal response?

The answer may vary. However, the answer should revolve around adapting to diverse audiences in which the speaker must cultivate a speaking style that supercedes the gender, class, and culture of the audience. Regardless of the audience's composition, negative language will disconnect the speaker from the audience and the speaker will lose credibility. It is unethical to use language that will deliberately offend the audience.
