Method

• The ethical theory studied in class helped me to
  realize who I am and what I wanted to do. It
  strengthened my beliefs on what was right vs
  wrong and good vs bad. I wasnt sure how they
  were determined and what was to be accepted. It
  was easy for me to be influenced by different
  things but I slowly understood where my core
  values came from. I accepted my past
  experiences, whether it was positive and
  negative, and made them into a learning
  experience. Previously, the image I made for
  myself was empty inside I was easily moved and
  influenced but now I can create the image from
  within which will reflect my image externally.
  Even though I might have strong beliefs and
  values, I can still be open-minded and gain an
  understanding of different ethical perspectives.

Values of the Community

• I believe the values of community are important
  because as a person, I am serving a purpose in
  life. The community surrounding me is where I
  learn most of my knowledge. I could choose to
  accept the values of the communities from the
  experiences and decide what I want to control.
  Some negative experiences have been my excuses to
  get out of personal responsibilities. However, I
  now realize what I can do and what I should not
  do based on them and they have been ways of
  pushing myself out of my comfort zone to build a
  foundation of where I can continue to grow. It
  will be part of the adult community as I continue
  to mature and learn to be understanding whatever
  the circumstances or problems I must face.

The Big Lebowski

• Theme The different ethical frameworks and the
  conflicts that associate with them.
• The dude, Walter, and Donny reminded me of my
  friends and their perspectives on life. No
  matter what the conflict was, no matter what the
  circumstances came, they always had each other
  and a place where they met- the bowling alley.
  Theres a sense of belonging, like a 2nd home,
  even though they are not able to come together
  mentally.

11
Return to Paradise

• Theme What your values are and how much
  sacrifice you are going to make to stand up for
  them.
• It made me wonder what it would take for me
  sacrifice for my friends and family. My belief
  that when you are able to take care of yourself,
  you can help out others came into question
  because the timing would make a big difference in
  where I would stand. If saving someone would be
  worth more than saving yourself. I would be able
  to sacrifice myself if it would create an
  advantage for the greater amount of people than
  if it was just myself.

12
The Fog of War

• Theme What you might think is right may be wrong
  with others.
• Everyone has different opinions but you have to
  understand them to be able to make the better
  decisions. You can have a strong foundation for
  your ethical framework but if you are unwilling
  to accept and listen to others, then there are
  consequences for determining your own morality.
  McNamuras first lesson was emphasize with your
  enemy. It does not mean being influenced by them,
  it just means that you have to realize what the
  values of others are to make a decision that will
  benefit your own interest.

13
Bigger Than Enron

• Theme Who is protecting the public?
• I didnt really think about public protection
  before this class. Before, it was all about
  getting the best for yourself. Still in some
  mindsets, there are people that havent realize
  their actions as a social responsibility. If we
  are not aware of the need for protecting
  ourselves and others, then it is easy to get
  deceived into the control of others. It is hard
  to distinguish what would be in the best interest
  for the people, the integrity of the business or
  give them the numbers that they want. The
  accounting methods used to change the actual
  numbers was important because it would produce
  long-term consequences.

14
The Corporation

• Theme Does anything substantial really stand up
  for the image that they portray outwardly?
• I think the concept of corporation as an
  individual was insightful. It is how some
  individuals are like. They create an image for
  themselves outwardly and superficially because
  the society creates a world based on those
  characteristics and traits. But if you want to
  have an image of quality and respect, then your
  actions must have quality and respect to be shown
  as your true self. It is easy to get carried away
  by the influences in life because everyone wants
  to be like everyone else but they forget who they
  are in the process. It was like that for me in
  the past, but now I have figured out that it is
  not image first and you have to make yourself the
  basis of who you are trying to be. You have to be
  able to look in the mirror and see that person in
  the mirror is the person you want to be.
• The dilemma with Monsanto and Fox news was
  important because it made me realize how far
  someone might really go to protect their own name
  and image.
