*Does an ethical problem(s) exist? How do you know? (must be included for each film)
*What responsibility does the individual(s) have to respond to this ethical problem? (must be included
for each film)
*State the ethical problem clearly; how do we separate the ethical problem from other non-ethical
components? They are often entangled in real-life in various ways, from company policies to types of
relationships (marriage, friendship, co-worker, boss, etc.) in which you are involved, your role in an
organization, etc. (must be included for each film)
How do we begin to resolve the ethical issues? You need to be able to justify your choices; explain why
they work or do not work. (can include this for each film – or a version of this…)
What are the choices you can make – are you free to choose to act or not to act? To what/to whom are
your responsibilities? (can include this for each film – or a version of this…)
What are the primary duties and/or obligations? (can include this for each film – or a version of this…)
o Consider: Are you willing to pursue the “good” in order to conform to the good? (…such as the
values of an organization such as your employer) For example: courage is the willingness to
make your behavior conform to the good, even with it is dangerous to do so.
“Good” needs to be defined
