The Emperor’s Club
THESE ARE JUST SOME QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS YOU CAN THINK ABOUT AS YOU WATCH THE EMPEROR'S CLUB MOVIE in class ---
1. When we look at Mr. Hundert's choice to change Bell's grade:
Specifically: we see Mr. H. fails to keep some of his obligations to clients from our list in Topic 7 of our course: Honesty, Competence, Fairness, Diligence, Confidentiality, Loyalty, and Do No Harm.
Overall: is Mr. H. a virtuous person? Does he show some of the virtues on page 61 (Aristotle's Virtuous living)? Does he choose to act with respect (Topic 8, Kant's respect for others)) and consider the consequences of his choices (Topic 8, Utilitarian perspective) most of the time?
Yes, I think he is a virtuous person. In the movie, he was show some of the virtues like: friendliness and gentleness, because he was kind to everyone else. He is act with respect and considers the consequences of his choices most of the time.
These are good questions to think about when trying to figure out if Mr. H. is an ethical person.
2. Sedgwick Bell: Most of you noticed that Bell is not virtuous at all . . . he is an intemperate (as Aristotle called such persons) person most of the time, throughout his whole life.
In answering this question about Bell, these questions come up: Was he an honest person? Diligent? Loyal? Did he do harm to anyone? Then you would give an example to match each of these virtues.
He is not an honest person, because he always says one thing and does another. Also, he cheats.
I’m not sure is he is Diligent, because in the movie he was working hard for awhile.
He is harm to other student, because he is teaching some bad thing to other student.
3. Martin Blythe: all the same questions come up for Martin. He is virtuous, an example of the temperate or continent person and showed many of the obligations/virtues we covered in class. Think about which ones Martin shows us, and make up an example to form a good answer to this question on
