Blog Post #11 Grazians reading

Today, my best friend Claudia described to me, her weekend. She told me how she went alone to the bar since her date had bailed on her. She had also had a couple of drinks because she was so nervous. Hence, describes why she was dancing alone that night at the bar. Until a guy approached her and asked her to dance. Something that had never happened to her before, not even since prom.

Claudia: Oh Em Gee! That night was amazing. I was like dancing alone minding my own business and then comes this hunk. Tall, dark, and handsome just the way I like them and asks ME! to dance with HIM!. ME! can you believe it? I think I'm in love. Nobody has ever asked me out to dance EVER! And after the club he drove me in his 2011 Beammer and took me to his place because he said I had had to much to drink. He even worried about me...gosh!

Betty: Uh...Claudia are you sure he wasn't just trying to take you home and take advantage of you? Most men do that you know? They go to the bar or club accompanied by a friend. Then they check out the premises pick a target and ATTACK! like wild beasts.

Claudia: Oh Nooo hes not like that. We danced so slow together and whispered sweet little nothings in my ear. Then when we were at his house he made me a sandwich and tucked me in bed and we spooned the whole night.

Betty: Well girl I hope things work out with you and him just watch out. I really care about you. I dont want you to get hurt again.

Claudia: Thanks I think hes the one though.

Blog Post # 10

In the movie " Gone baby gone", Police Captain Doyle, Remy and Lionel take Amanda away from her Helene. Linoel thought that Amanda would be better off with Captain Doyle than her mother Helene, who was a drug addict.She didn't seem to care for Amanda and would often go to get high, leaving Amanda with anybody. Patrick and his girlfriend Angie, were the private detectives who took on the responsibility of solving the case involving Amanda's kidnapping.
            At first, Patrick and Angie never had any suspicion that captain Doyle was involved in the conspiracy.They also noticed the type of individual Helene was. Lionel, Amanda’s uncle, brought her out of her mother's house and gave her to Remy. He thought that by doing so Amanda would enjoy a better future and have a family who would care for her.
         After becoming more involved in the case, Patrick and Angie started to realise who were the people involved in the kidnapping of Amanda. Eventually, after sorting out the information, Patrick realises that Captain Doyle and Remy were the central figures behind the kidnapping of Amanda. Patrick then told Angie about his findings. Angie then disagreed with patrick’s action. She, like all the other characters in the movie, believed that the kidnapping was in the best interest of Amanda. Patrick had also made a promise to Helene, that he would bring back her child.
           Captain Doyle, Remy and Patrick displayed what some would call ethical absolutism. Captain Doyle having suffered the loss of his daughter thought that by taking Amanda, he was trying to save her from a bleak future and took her without any fear of the consequences that would arise from such an action. On the other hand, Patrick,who had a different idea believed that it was wrong for them to kidnap Amanda from her mother's home even if her mother was a drug addict and left her daughter with strangers. Patrick also made Helene a promise that he would bring Amanda back home. Murder is murder, whether the means justify in the end or not, it is wrong and must be condemn. There was never a good lie or a bad lie. When we do things that are just or unjust. We have to live with the consequences, weather it be bad or good.

1) offers a summary of the movie in the first paragraph ( Yes )
2) discusses the characters whose ethics follow consequentialism in the movie ( Yes )
3) discusses the character(s) who follows ethical absolutism ( Yes )
4)discusses whether  the movie takes sides in terms of the different ethical philosophies. ( Yes )

-AND-

Very good essay, a few spelling errors and typos here and there but over all not bad. Good summary but I think you confused Remy as being Captain of the Police force when it is Captain Doyle, Remy, and Lionel. I also agree with your point of view on the matter. As you said a murder is a murder and whoever takes a life should pay for such an action. I also added a few things on your paper. Good essay :)

Our group (Jonathan G., Nataly C, and myself) came up with the theory that perhaps there being a “Universal" way of parenting. With "Universal" parenting, major road blocks would get pulled out of the way making the lives of our younger generations easier and simpler for them to grow without having to try to prove/fit into certain gender roles/stereotypes. Having universal parenting would benefit children a great amount in many ways. One being that the children wouldn't be judged so harshly by society. As an example, boys being called momma's boys or a pansy for speaking their feelings and crying or girls getting called tomboys just because they play a little rougher than other girls or because she enjoys watching/playing sports. Such mentality of boys being too feminine or girls being to rough would be in a sense erased. Another great upside to this theory would be that since society's hand wouldn't be so strict and harsh on our youth and things would be equal, the factor of Christine L. Williams's idea of the "Glass Ceiling" and "Glass escalator" wouldn't exist or would be minimal. For example, women and men getting the same wages for the same job with no sexual inclination what so ever. With that being said "Universal" parenting would probably benefit today's gender imposed society and its children reducing stereotypes, gender imposed roles, "Glass ceilings," and "Glass escalators." Our future would be much brighter.
