In 500-600 words, please consider the three primary ethical schools we have explored in the class: virtue ethics, teleological, and deontological ethics. Choose a film, and then identify the primary school of thought that is best reflected in the film. This activity aligns with module outcomes 1, 3 and 5.

Be sure to include all points of the outline (minimum one full page in length). Choose one of the following for this assignment:

Write a 500-750 word critical analysis.
Everyone has seen examples of buildings which may serve a functional purpose, but which are either aesthetically unpleasing or simply do not fit the surrounding environment. Such a building may be called an “eye sore,” a “folly,” a “boondoggle,” or just plain “ugly.” Frank Lloyd Wright and his mentor, Louis Sullivan, were among Twentieth Century architects who held the philosophy that buildings should reflect and enhance their environment. This activity will enable you to evaluate an example of architecture as a work of art and see its contribution to the human experience.

Please review the assigned pieces of architecture by visiting these sites:
For this discussion, write a 250-500 word post comparing and contrasting the three examples of architecture. There should be a paragraph for each of the examples and a fourth paragraph, comparing the obvious similarities as well as pointing out the contrasts and unique features.
For example, you might choose the topic of whether a superwomen should kill villains. We had discussed in Module 2 how most superheroes/heroines are deontologists, and almost never opt to break their moral code, regardless of the consequences. In the comic book story of Wonder Woman, although she is usually a deontologist, she does kill the villain Max Lord, essentially undermining the classic superhero/heroine approach of merely apprehending a villain. You would then identify 6 different ethical theories and analyze how the issue of killing villains would play out given each theory.
