TASK
Share the title and plot summary of the film or television program that you analyzed in your Module 3 “Ethics at the Movies” essay. Which character did you discuss in your essay? Briefly summarize that character’s professional role, their moral dilemma, the decision they made, and the factors involved in the decision.
Next, reflecting on the contributing and detracting factors to autonomy discussed in Meyers Chapter 3, section 3.1.4, consider these questions:
What role did respect play in the story? Was it threatened? Did it play a role in the dilemma the character faced, and if so, how?
To what degree did the character have autonomy in his or her decision-making?
Which “default mode” was involved in the dilemma? Was it a problem of principles? Consequences? Virtues?
Did the character decide based on a single default mode, or did they draw on more than one?
Make sure your post clearly describes the ethical decision your character made.
Refer explicitly to the terms, theories or philosophers when you write.
