• Is ethical decision making possible when one must make choices based on survival? Do seemingly “bad” choices make a person bad?
I don’t think that we can say it’s an ethic decision when you are trying to save yourself, because like in the movie, Salim hurt their captors in order to defend Jamal. You don’t believe Salim is a bad person for that, because he was trying to protect his brother.
• What do you think the film is saying about the globalization of culture through media? We see the game show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” adapted in the Indian culture. Is this a sign of progress? Why or why not? What is this film staying about the effect of money on culture?
Yes it is a sign of globalization, the program “who wants to be a millionaire?” it’s a very popular show in western countries, and its adapted to Indians so they can have a little fun too, and I think it’s a sign of progress in the media cause T.V is acquiring popularity in more countries and they can have programs like News and being informed is a sign of progress.
I don't think that tryin' to survive make you a "bad" person, why? because it is instinct... you can't blame a lion for eating a zebra for example...
ResponderEliminarI think that the globalization is growing at overwhelming speed, we can talk to people all around the world in a matter of seconds, that's cool I guess...
I agree with both of you, Alan and Pepe. In desperate situations you can do things that seem bad but aren't bad at all, at least not bad intentioned. Even when it's true that you basically judge people based on their actions, this could be the exception.
ResponderEliminarI like your example of the lion and zebra!
