27 Jun pick one of the film
Please pick one of the film thats has good examples of ethical, moral and legal issues in business and society. In 2 pages, summarize the following:
1. Introduction-plot summary: not an entire description of the movie-identify the ethical/moral issue(s) that you will examine in this paper. (1-2 paragraphs).
2. Ethical issue(s) clearly identified-explain them. Write about the stakeholders, the social damage and/or global damage. (1-2 paragraphs).
3. Apply an ethical framework to the issue(s)-based on utilitarianism, rights, justice, caring, virtue.
4. Because this is an ethics class-conclude with a value statement. What does the film portray for humanity. What does it teach, motivate, change in us. A film is an art form so your interpretation and reaction is important.
Length: 2 pages. This is not a film review-I don’t care about the special effects or the entire plot so It is important to prioritize the most important moral/ethical aspects of the story to analyze and illustrate principles of sound ethical reasoning and maturity.
