 *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
