<font face="Times New Roman, serif"> <i>The Killers</i><span style="font-style: normal">
|
||||||
|
is a film about a gang who is willing to lie, cheat, and steal their
|
||||||
|
way to the top. The film contains many examples of choices that many
|
||||||
|
would find to be in a positive light and just as many that could be
|

|
found in a negative light, </span><span style="font-style: normal">morally</span><span style="font-style: normal">.</span></font></p>

|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span style="font-style: normal"> The
|
||||||

film opens with a couple gunman entering a restaurant looking to kill
|
||||||
|
the Swede (Ole) by waiting at his regular restaurant. They decide to
|
||||||
|
hold </span><span style="font-style: normal">up </span><span style="font-style: normal">everyone

||||||
|
up the restaurant, while they wait for Ole, but when he doesn’t
|
||||||
|
show, instead of killing all the witnesses, they decide to let them
|
||||||
|
live. A morally righteous act, to let those live whom could pose a
|
||||||
|
threat to their enterprise.</span></font></p>
|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span style="font-style: normal"> After

was held up with the rest, worked with Ole </span><span style="font-style: normal">at</span><span style="font-style: normal">

</span><span style="font-style: normal">home </span><span style="font-style: normal">to

|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span style="font-style: normal"> Later
|
||||||
|
in the film, there is a scene where Ole is thrashing about destroying
|
||||||
|
everything in a hotel room when a maid walks in. Ole, out of his
|
||||||
|
mind, busts open a window and prepares to jump. The maid quickly runs
|
||||||
|
to stop </span><span style="font-style: normal">him</span><span style="font-style: normal">,

in the name of God, in order to save his soul from sure destruction

suicide.</span></font></p>
|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"> <font face="Times New Roman, serif"> The
|
||||||
|
film also has a share of questionable at best, and condemnable at
|
||||||
|
worst, choices that its characters make. It is revealed that some of
|
||||||
|
the characters had participated in a payroll heist to steal over
|
||||||
|
$200,000 with of money. If that itself isn’t enough, they even
|
||||||
|
choose to shoot a security guard who was trying to stop them as they
|
||||||
|
got away.</font></p>
|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> We
|
||||||
|
later find that that a woman, Kitty, only cares for herself and has
|
||||||
|
no moral character, a true classic villain. After the heist, she
|
||||||
|
decides to double cross everyone to get the money for herself. Kitty
|
||||||
|
tells Ole, who was involved with the crime, that he was being double
|
||||||
|
crossed to get him to steal all the money for himself and that she
|
||||||
|
would be with him. He does this, but, shortly after getting somewhere
|
||||||
|
safe, Kitty steals all the money and takes off to reunite with Colfax
|
||||||
|
(her current lover). Later, she also has no trouble leading the
|
||||||
|
insurance investigator (James) into a trap while she ran away though
|
||||||
|
a window in a bathroom.</font></p>
|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> There
|
||||||
|
are many examples of moral and not-so-moral acts scattered throughout
|
||||||
|
this film. Easily the most amoral person is Kitty. She double crosses
|
||||||
|
everyone trying to get away and live the easy life with no regard for
|
||||||
|
the lives of others. At the end of the film she even begs her dying
|
||||||
|
husband to clear her name. Some choices weren’t so clear, such as
|
||||||
|
shooting the security guard, considering that the guards shot first.
|
||||||
|
However they were already in the wrong, therefore, they lost the
|
||||||
|
right to defend themselves, morally or otherwise. The most morally
|
||||||
|
sound characters were likely Nick Adams and the maid who attempted to
|
||||||
|
save the life of someone who was either about to jump out a window
|
||||||
|
during a fit of rage, or had gunmen going after him. To save the life
|
||||||
|
of a friend, or to save the soul of an unknown man, what could be
|
||||||
|
more morally sound?</font></p>

<font face="Times New Roman, serif"> It has been suggested that if a
|
||||||
|
collage offered two courses, one titled “Introduction To Ethics”
|
||||||
|
and the other “Introduction To Morals”, that there would be a
|
||||||
|
completely different expectation from the course. Personally, aside
|
||||||
|
perhaps from basic classes involving rhetoric or math, few, if any,
|
||||||
|
courses were anything related to what I expected based on the course
|
||||||
|
title and descriptions. However, I still have ideas on what a class
|
||||||
|
may contain biased solely on the title, and in this case, I would
|
||||||
|
think that the morals class would be the more interesting. Granted, I
|
||||||
|
would likely question the difference between these courses with an
|
||||||
|
advisor, and indeed, likely take them both considering that
|
||||||
|
philosophy is my primary interest with college. Though, solely from
|
||||||
|
the titles alone, it would seem to me that there would be a
|
||||||
|
difference on focus between the two classes, if only because there
|
||||||
|
are two separate classes offered. Even then, it would appear that
|
||||||
|
many sources, even educational institutions, can’t seem to agree
|
||||||
|
on, or if there even are any, the differences between ethics and
|
||||||
|
morals. </font>
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> Morals
|
||||||
|
and ethics are both interesting, but to me, when I think of morals, I
|
||||||
|
think more about judgement about issues, and philosophical debates,
|
||||||
|
as opposed to strict standards of living, and I enjoy the concept of
|
||||||
|
an argument based solely on reason and feeling. Facts and verified
|
||||||
|
results are all well and good, but trying to focus on using reason,
|
||||||
|
and having others try to debunk that reasoning, makes for an amazing
|
||||||
|
display of our ability to think, which is vastly more interesting to
|
||||||
|
me to in day to day life. Morals also seem to imply a strong focus on
|
||||||
|
what is right and wrong for an individual to do. Is it right to kill
|
||||||
|
a man in situation A? How about in situation B? That alone can lead
|
||||||
|
to hours of enlightening discussion. Morals, by the word alone,
|
||||||
|
simply sounds like it would be more interesting than ethics. Morals
|
||||||
|
creates an image that we are going to learn about how people think
|
||||||
|
about things, ethics feels like we’re going to learn about some
|
||||||
|
proper way to act.</font></p>
|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> While
|
||||||
|
ethics is certainly fascinating, it feels more to be a set of rules
|
||||||
|
that are typically based upon, though do not necessarily follow,
|
||||||
|
morals. The focus of a class based on ethics, as opposed to morals,
|
||||||
|
would likely study philosophies on how to interact with the rest of
|
||||||
|
society. What do I do to ensure that I’m doing the best thing for
|
||||||
|
my society? What actions must I take, or not take, in order to avoid
|
||||||
|
harming others? Of course, it doesn’t have to be quite so
|
||||||
|
utilitarian, it could simply be trying to be a proper person in a
|
||||||
|
specific culture. It’s about how we ought<i> </i><span style="font-style: normal">to
|
||||||
|
act. </span>For example, perhaps we should eat in a certain way that
|
||||||
|
is respectful to the ethical person’s culture, or perhaps we avoid
|
||||||
|
saying certain things in an effort to protect others from what they
|
||||||
|
may find disagreeable. These are all interesting concepts and ideas
|
||||||
|
to study, but they also seem to stem from the basics of morals. We
|
||||||
|
don’t find ourselves with proper ways to live our lives without
|
||||||
|
first examining issues on the smaller scale.</font></p>

|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> A
|
||||||
|
morals course, on the other hand, would focus more on the individual
|
||||||
|
and feelings. What am I doing to my neighbor? Is it okay for me to
|
||||||
|
steal from him? Is it okay to lie? Why is stealing wrong even if
|
||||||
|
people are to suffer if we do not engage in that act? Is it not
|
||||||
|
better to satisfy the hunger of ourselves or others, than to avoid
|
||||||
|
stealing from a man who eats in luxury? Should I not lie in any
|
||||||
|
circumstance? Am I more or less responsible if I lie as opposed to
|
||||||
|
telling the truth? What if it would be to save another’s
|
||||||
|
embarrassment? His life? What about my own? I would expect a morals
|
||||||
|
class to focus more on the smaller individual to individual scale,
|
||||||
|
while ethics focuses on the larger individual to societal scale.</font></p>

thing, or that there is a difference between what we call moral

philosophy, which would still be the same as ethics in this case, and
|
||||||
|
what we simply refer to as morals. Now let’s take a look at what

University of Massachusetts Amherst has to say about the subject in

regards to their “Introduction to Ethics” course:</font></p>

<font face="Times New Roman, serif">This course is an introduction to
|
||||||
|
the philosophical study of morality, including the theory of right
|
||||||
|
and wrong behavior, the theory of value (goodness and badness), and

|
the theory of virtue and vice. (Introduction to Ethics. [online],

<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> Here
|
||||||
|
we see that ethics is explicitly, “the philosophical study of
|
||||||
|
morality” (Introduction to Ethics. [online], 2018). So does this
|
||||||
|
mean that ethics is nothing more than the study of morality? That it
|
||||||
|
isn’t actually something similar, yet somewhat different, from
|
||||||
|
morals, but that it’s just the study of morals? It would seem that
|
||||||
|
all three educational institutions see that ethics and morals very
|
||||||
|
related, perhaps without even an explicit difference. In spite of
|
||||||
|
this, it is still easy to see how a potential student would expect
|
||||||
|
something different from each class title, even if they read the
|
||||||
|
descriptions as well, given how ambiguous they are.</font></p>
|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> With
|
||||||
|
two courses, “Intro To Ethics” and “Intro To Morals”, I would
|
||||||
|
certainly find the latter more likely to appeal to me. I believe a
|
||||||
|
morals class would have more interesting discussion, by far, than an
|
||||||
|
ethics class. We can use reasoned arguments and point out fallacies
|
||||||
|
to help stimulate each others ability to think and understand the
|
||||||
|
world around us. The classes would likely have a difference in their
|
||||||
|
primary focus. The focus of ethics being a set of rules on how we
|
||||||
|
<i>ought</i><span style="font-style: normal"> to act, </span><span style="font-style: normal">and

|
||||||
|
own interpretation of what these classes would be like. Others would
|
||||||
|
likely come to different conclusions about the contents of each
|
||||||
|
class, especially if we take into consideration that most people
|
||||||
|
either don’t understand, or don’t agree with, the differences and
|

|
definitions of ethics and morals; indeed, they are very similar

subjects. Even educational institutions can’t seem to point out a

specific difference.</font></p>

<font face="Times New Roman, serif"> There has been much debate over

the years about whether or not homosexual sex is legal, moral, or
|
||||||
|
religiously sound, but what about heterosexual sex? What is it that
|
||||||
|
makes heterosexual sex moral? What is it that makes homosexual sex
|
||||||
|
less moral? Must everything be moral or immoral, or are there
|
||||||
|
exceptions?</font></p>
|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> It
|
||||||
|
seems commonplace for people to believe that heterosexual sex is a
|
||||||
|
morally right thing to take part in. But what does that really mean?
|
||||||
|
John M. Finnis argues against homosexuality with some questionable
|
||||||
|
ideas, but it’s an enlightening way to see how some may find
|
||||||
|
heterosexual conduct moral. One such idea is that heterosexual sex
|
||||||
|
is moral because it leads to reproduction. That, of course, leads to
|
||||||
|
questions of whether reproduction itself is moral in order to
|
||||||
|
determine if the heterosexual sex is moral, or, and perhaps more
|
||||||
|
importantly, assuming that reproduction is moral, how does that
|
||||||
|
necessitate that non-reproductive sex is immoral? Does this also
|
||||||
|
mean that we are consistently being immoral when we are not engaging
|
||||||
|
in acts, sexual or otherwise, that do not lead to reproduction?</font></p>
|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> Since
|
||||||
|
heterosexual sex is regarded as moral already, perhaps we should
|
||||||
|
focus more on homosexuality. How can homosexual sex possibly be
|
||||||
|
moral? What <i>good</i><span style="font-style: normal"> could come
|
||||||
|
from it? Those who subscribe to a utilitarian view could see it as
|
||||||
|
increasing general happiness. If there is a </span><span style="font-style: normal">contingent</span><span style="font-style: normal">
|
||||||
|
of people wanting to engage in homosexual acts, yet morally they feel
|
||||||
|
obligated to abstain and instead have heterosexual sex that may not
|
||||||
|
actually bring happiness, does this not go against the ideal of
|
||||||
|
promoting happiness amongst people? The biggest argument against
|
||||||
|
homosexual sex, at least where John M. Finnis is concerned, is that
|
||||||
|
it is not, nor does it have certain </span><span style="font-style: normal">characteristics</span><span style="font-style: normal">
|

of, heterosexual sex. How can one thing be moral, and the other

what we need to realize, is that the acts themselves are not

where morals exist. It doesn’t matter if it’s two men, two

women, or even an adult and a child. So long as consent is there,

true consent, not that which is derived from coercion or other such

<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> When
|
||||||
|
explaining the differences between ethics and morality, many people
|
||||||
|
don’t agree and often have opposing definitions. For the purposes
|
||||||
|
of this paper, we shall define morality as an individuals inherent
|
||||||
|
feeling of right or wrong given a specific action. “Ethics” we
|
||||||
|
shall define as, how one ought to act in society. </font>
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> It
|
||||||
|
is difficult to grasp the explicit difference between ethics and
|
||||||
|
morality. Definition disagreements make it harder still, but that is
|
||||||
|
a semantic argument and irrelevant to the purpose of this paper.
|
||||||
|
Suffice the say that the differences are there regardless of which
|
||||||
|
definition we associate with which word. Equally difficult is to
|
||||||
|
describe exactly how ethics and morals are similar. However, no
|
||||||
|
matter how we look at these two subjects, it is clear that they are
|
||||||
|
heavily intertwined.</font></p>
|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> When
|
||||||
|
we speak of morality we ask ourselves, “Is this the right thing to
|
||||||
|
do? Is it just? How would I feel if this act were committed against
|
||||||
|
me?” So we may ask, “Is it okay to steal this bread?” Most
|
||||||
|
people will answer “No, stealing is wrong,” or, “Well, it
|
||||||
|
depends.” The people saying “it depends” are thinking along the
|
||||||
|
ethical route. “My family is hungry, the only way I can conceive
|
||||||
|
to help them is to steal some bread! Is it right to do this?” This
|
||||||
|
may be the related ethical question. Many, morally, will say that it
|
||||||
|
is always wrong to steal, but some, ethically, may say that the ends
|
||||||
|
justifies the means. Morals tell us what is right and wrong on a
|
||||||
|
basic intuitive level, whereas ethics show us how we ought to act.
|
||||||
|
Morals and ethics are different, but they are also very similar.
|
||||||
|
They both deal in right and wrong, but at different levels. Is it
|
||||||
|
moral to feed a starving person? Perhaps, if we accept that charity
|
||||||
|
is virtuous. Is it right to steal in order to satisfy the moral good
|
||||||
|
of being charitable to a starving person? Perhaps, many wars were
|
||||||
|
sanctioned just for this. </font>
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> Regardless,
|
||||||
|
morals and ethics are heavily intertwined, the old saying, “What’s
|
||||||
|
good for the goose is good for the gander,” fits well. If we
|
||||||
|
choose to steal from a grocery store, an act that would be
|
||||||
|
detrimental if committed against ourselves, it is not ethically sound
|
||||||
|
as it harms, not only ourselves, but others as well. Businesses lose
|
||||||
|
money and likely respond by raising prices, which lowers the value of
|
||||||
|
other’s money in a given society. Without going into detail, this
|
||||||
|
also suffers all the ramifications of breaching the social contract.
|
||||||
|
However, should we choose not to steal, it is morally sound, if we
|
||||||
|
consider stealing to be wrong, and it is ethically sound as it is
|
||||||
|
what we <i>ought</i> to do. While doing the right thing morally isn’t
|
||||||
|
necessarily always the right thing ethically, it’s a great place to
|
||||||
|
start when trying to determine what is ethical.</font></p>
|
||||||
|
<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 200%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"> Morality
|
||||||
|
and ethics are not the same thing, but they are not so different
|
||||||
|
either. It can be hard to find differences and similarities, but that
|
||||||
|
is likely due to disagreement on what those differences are. However,
|
||||||
|
within the given context above, the differences and similarities
|
||||||
|
should be clear.</font></p>
