Ethics Questions

I think another good example of "Good" technical writing that is unethical is the communication of the tobacco industry. When tobacco executives misconstrue data about the harmful effects of smoking, it is similar to the idea of the Nazi's using misleading language in memos.

Also, health care is a HUGE issue right now in America. There are many studies (including this one: http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/efan04004/efan04004g.pdf) that prove the negative effects of obesity on our economy. I think this is a good example of technical writing, as well as a topic of a discussion on ethics.
