Survivor
On the weekend, I watched a show called survivor and I was talking to my parents about it. I was thinking about this season and how one of the contestants voted her mom out to get further in the game. later she turned on her alliance because she realized that she was at the bottom. She put herself before her mom and her alliance. I could see where some people stand in her Universe of Obligation and my question is was it ethically all right to do it because its a game or is it just wrong?

Just as I was about to comment that I would not do this to my mother I remembered that in my universe of obligation the center was not my mom, i was me. So before you comment think about your universe of obligation and who's in the middle of yours. It's just a game and I do think it was immoral but I also think it was ethically positive. In this case I guess in order for you to make a decision you have to decide which is more important to you, morals or ethics.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about this again today and I came to the conclusion that she didn't just put herself before her mom. When she wrote down her moms name, she put the Game before her mom, she put the one million dollar prize before her mom. I think the worse one is that she put her alliance before her mom and her alliance is a group of people she only knew for a month
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was her putting the game or the alliance before her mom because in the end she would benefit. So in the end she is still putting herself first.
DeleteI believe its ethically okay because it is a game and just like any game you play, you play to win. In this case betraying your mother is ethically okay but morally it would be ridiculous. This woman obviously is very competitive and she is willing to o what it takes to win.
