Explore ethical perspectives in film. In 500-600 words, please consider the three primary ethical schools we
have explored in the class: virtue ethics, teleological, and deontological ethics. Choose a film, and then
identify the primary school of thought that is best reflected in the film.
Content Requirements:
Specifically refer to at least two scenes in the film as evidence for the school of thought that is best
reflected in the film.
Quote dialogue from the film and provide some context for the scenes you’re discussing and analyzing.
Remember to discuss why the other two schools may not strictly apply to the film. Or perhaps you can
argue that the two other schools are present in some of the decisions or actions of same minor characters,
but they do not necessarily dominate the film.
Speculate as to why a specific ethical school dominates this film. Does the topic tend itself to the particular
ethical view? Does the setting or historical period of the film lend itself to a certain ethical view? Has the
director stated or implied what was ethically important when he or she made the film?
