3. Dissemination Model
The act of giving is extremely powerful. In the John Durham Peters reading, the author speaks about various examples of giving such as the Good Samaritan, the love of parents for their children despite their lack of reciprocity, etc... Dialogue relies on interaction. Everything is spoken about and exchanged in a face to facer manner. The problem here is that dialogue becomes exclusive. It is exclusive to those who are involved in the conversation. Dissemination has the ability to transcend to masses of people, to transcend through time. In this way, it is centered on the "other". The objective of dissemination is always outward, reaching many. Dissemination can be seen as selfless because it often does not involve reciprocity. There is a factor in dissemination that involves not necessarily getting anything in return. A good example would be the Synoptic Gospels in the Bible. Jesus speaks to many, in doing this, he is aware that there is nothing physical and direct in exchange for his actions, but because of His utter belief in the subject, he selfessly disseminates His word. Since dissemination is directed to many, it will most likely be more ethical than the dialogue model. Dialogue is directed to individuals and can be as personal as anybody wants it to. Dissemination, taking the larger picture of "others" at hand, will come from an ethical standpoint.

3. The Dissemination Model as more ethical?
The dissemination model is argued to be more ethical than the dialogue model due to their longstanding differences in direction. Because the dissemination model assumes its focus upon a larger-scale audience, it is seen as selfless and all-encompassing compared to the dialogue model which fully centers its attention upon the one and only intended receiver.
Although this may prove to be true [by definition], it may not necessarily be the case each time. Dissemination primarily benefits from such popular notions due to the fact that it is rooted in Christianity and is thus seen as “edifying” – as that of Jesus and the Gospels – in nature.
I think the main issue here is how and why it is conveyed instead of to whom it is addressed to. Both models are still very much rooted in the aims of communication after all. And so, intention, content and relativity are what ultimately matters the most. ^^
