Ethics in Computer Games and Cinema

Writing a 5-6-page paper on any TWO moral frameworks and then you will explain how those frameworks would view any ONE movie or video game of your choice. Afterwards, you will argue either for or against the moral framework responses to your film or game. More specifically, I would like you to write your paper based on the following list of guidelines (in a series of steps). Based on these specific guidelines, the finished paper should end up being about 5-6 pages.

STEP 1: 1 Page

Introduce/explain what you will be writing about for your paper. Afterwards, describe any normative moral framework we’ve discussed in this class. Make sure you explain all of the main principles associated with this framework

STEP 2: 1 Page

Do the same thing you just did, but for a second normative framework.

STEP 3: 1 Page

Describe a movie or game. What is it about? What happens in it? Who/what people/company created it? When did it come out? Who are the main characters? What is the plot synopsis? What rating does it have? Is there any violence in it, language, sexual situations?

STEP 4: ½ Page

Explain how you think the first moral framework you selected would respond to the existence of this movie/game. Based on everything you know about this framework, how do you think it would react to your movie/game? Explain.

STEP 5: ½ Page

Do the same thing for the second framework you selected.

STEP 6: ½ Page

Do you personally agree or disagree with how your first framework would most likely respond to the game/movie in question? Explain.

STEP 7: ½ Page

Do you personally agree or disagree with how your second framework would most likely respond to the game/movie in question? Explain.
