...download illegally movies from internet:- The circulation of movies has altered dramatically over the past ten years. Sales of substantial goods, CD’s and DVD’s, have dropped harshly since 2000 when diverse online groups were built to share and download pirated movies with each, conceiving conflict of interest and promise loss for the business. The movie industry is feeling the agony of online piracy, as sales of DVD’s in 2008 fallen to their smallest levels in five years. A lone video, “the Dark Knight” was downloaded at smallest seven million times around the world in 2008. This pattern of illegal downloading in the joined States is mirrored in other nations as well. In a latest study of Japanese Internet users, it was reported that between 2005 and 2008, the number of illegally downloaded movies and songs almost increase two-fold. Whereas the movie commerce has become more aggressive in their methods to stop illegal downloading, they appear to be battling an uphill battle. The tremendous rush in popularity throughout 2008 and 2009 of communal newspapers sites such as Facebook and Twitter has helped give illegal downloader’s another way to converse with like minded persons and find new ways to pirate videos. The theme of illegal downloading of copyrighted material extends to be of interest to the movie industry. Actual marketplace purchase/download demeanor is adversely affected by illegal document sharing. Without conceiving about the communal ethics, persons are getting...

...an ethical standpoint, technology is neutral, even if this technology has the potential for unethical uses state often engineers and designers of technology consider ethics as something of a constraint on them. Often, when designing technology is being developed, engineers find themselves being presented with moral/value conflicts. Moral concepts such as security vs. privacy; safety vs. autonomy; accountability vs. confidentially and even individual rights vs. rights of a group are all related to technology. The aforementioned concepts are not only related to designing and manufacturing technologies but they also relate to the use of technology. Taking this into consideration, one can begin to see the ethical issues of using technology for all intent a purposed to pirate music and DVDs. Discussion Anthony, S. (2013) made a case for using technology to copy music and video. According to Anthony, S., copyright law exists to protect an artist through lobbying and legislation. When a consumer purchase a movie or song, he or she is granted a license to use the movie or song in a limited manner. The consumer makes a purchase, but under the copyright law, he publisher and artist maintain control over the manner in which consumers use what they purchased. It can be argued the people and organizations that pirate movies and music are causing an economic lo for the publisher and artist. The pirated spend a great...

...I admit that I’m not really a fan of watching movies, but I have always enjoyed Walt Disney’s movies. There are the classic movies such as Cinderella and Bambi, and the newer generation of movies, such as Toy Story and Frozen. In all of Walt Disney’s movies he has managed to make his hero or heroine a memorable character. Disney movies typically have a moral underling issue or an ethics lesson woven into the plot. The Disney movie Mulan has followed that same Disney tradition. Mulan takes place during the war with the Huns and China, with Mulan sneaking off to war in the place of her father. This film has several moral guidelines interwoven into the plot, Mulan shows the strength of women, the Chinese culture adds in duty and doing things...

...People are strange. When faced with an ethical dilemma in real life situations they tend to shy away from it, or attempt to go around the issue. In movies however, ethical dilemmas seem to captivate audiences and drag them in. It is enjoyable to sit around and argue with friends about the moral situations presented in movies and many can be interpreted different ways. One of these movies is 10 Cloverfield lane. The movie is both an excellent example of utilitarian ethics and as it ends becomes a brilliant argument against them. The main issue revolves around John Goodman’s character, Howard, and if he is morally in the right for what he does. 10 Cloverfield Lane seems to suggest that based upon utilitarian ethics he is right in what he does. The movie is set almost completely in an underground bomb shelter. It revolves around Michelle, who, after getting into a car wreck, wakes up in the bunker with news of a widespread attack on US soil. Howard informs her and another farm boy, named Emmett, that they cannot leave the bunker or...

When faced with tough situations, why we shouldn't take the higher road and be good and sweet and hopefully find happiness along the way. She talks about the work ethic of the princesses. Cinderella had a great work ethic and a good attitude even when people were unkind to her. And because of her honest and sweet personality, she got rewarded with a happily ever after. Bartyzel feels that all princess movies have the same narrative, in which they’re all about searching to find a prince for their happily ever after. She also believes that young women can sometimes give up their own...

...as well as showing how unforgiving the sales world really can be. Glengarry Glen Ross was written by playwright David Mamet in 1984. The play was so well received that it received a Pulitzer Prize for Drama that same year (Emanuel Levy). Mamet adapted his play into a screenplay for the 1992 movie release. Mamet is also credited with writing the screenplays for such notable movies as “Hoffa”, “The Untouchables”, “About Last Night”, and most recently “Hannibal.”(IMDB) Mamet, however, did not direct “Glengarry Glenn Ross” even though he had previous directing experience on a movie named “House of Games” (Levy). “Glengarry Glen Ross” was instead directed by James Foley, a director responsible for directing such films as “Who’s That Girl” and “The Chamber”(IMDB). There have been several movies made over the past few fifteen years such as “Ocean’s Eleven” and “A Few Good Men” that present such an impressive ensemble of actors that the lead actor and the role actors are hard to define due to the heavyweight names associated with these movies. “Glengarry Glenn Ross” can be associated with these movies due to the collection of well-known actors starring in this movie. Beginning with such A-listers as Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, and Alec Baldwin,...

...that it was, especially what John decides to do in order to save his son’s life. By now, I have seen two movies on the healthcare system that have truly amazed me and have left me with powerful messages about what we don’t see daily within our so-called expensive health care system. This movie reminded me of the struggles that those within poorer communities suffer from: lack of healthcare coverage. In comparison, to Patch Adams this movie had a much more dramatic effect to capture the battle between loved ones and saving lives. Furthermore, it captures every part of what actual society would go through if their loved ones were denied entry into a list for heart transplants. I think that this movie serves as another reminder of what we still need to improve in our health care. But see I feel that it’s not only our health care that needs fixing but those within it seem to lack of compassion for families of this sort, who cannot pay for their medical expenses. This movie portrays the most frustrating issue that I’ve seen up to this point in several health care movies and that is the inhumane and materialistic ways that doctors handle their medical attention. I think that this really gives me a new outlet on part of why a nationalized health care is not being considered by the AMA (American Medical Association); these doctors just want their money. These health care related movies continue to pile up which makes me realize how much opinions are flaring over the clear issues in this...

...Professional ethics are principles that govern the behavior of a person or group of people in a business environment. It is a set of rules of value a person must follow in a professional institution. Originally, a code of ethics had a very explicit line that was not to be divided or crossed. There were repercussions that followed any actions that defy the professional ethics set. When I read this article, I decided to compare it to the movie, “The Shawshank Redemption” because there are a lot of similarities of professional ethics being broken due to the private sector of business affairs. To give a little background on “The Shawshank Redemption”, it is a movie about a man by the name of Andy Dufresne who was falsely accused of the murder of his wife and her lover and sentenced to life in prison. While in jail Andy was being used for his proficiency in financing for the personal gain of prison employees. The Warden of the prison facility placed Andy in the library to handle fiscal affairs for not only himself but other staff members including those who worked in other prison facilities. The Warden went about doing so by using Andy to write letters to the government asking for sponsorship to make improvements to the library as well as other illegal matters....

...Part one: You are the news director of a local television station. The city council has just voted to close city parks 3 days a week to save money. Meanwhile, a major celebrity has died. The park story has greater effect on your viewers, but the celebrity death will get bigger ratings? Which do you make your lead story and why? I would be as misleading as possible in order to gain as many viewers as possible. This is a bending of the ethics that govern journalism. I would make the city parks closing seem like it was my big story. All over the air ways I would claim to have the best coverage and the most accurate reporting and really make everyone believe that it is the big story. I would then proceed to put more coverage and air time on the dead celebrity as that has a bigger news appeal with a much broader audience. Over the course of the news hour I would continue to hint towards the closing of city parks for three days of the week to save on money was the next story. It will of course the be last story we covered as it is very simple but relevant to the community. This all comes down to ratings at this point, issues unless they area about going to war or something of that big nature will continue to get the least amount of air times. The current news media have to compete with online is changing to something of a news oriented variety show that will be borderline educational. More and more people are getting their news from the internet and other sources now more than...

...Larry A. Shervington Jr. PHI 314 PAPA Term Paper 12/10/2015 Richard Mason developed the “PAPA” model as a way of characterizing ethics and moral compass as they relate to the information technology industry. As we further progress deeper into the era of information technology these ethics become a more prevalent part of our daily lives. From education and banking to medical and motor vehicles, information technology has now become as much of a constant in human life as ever. It’s because of this rapid growth and integral involvement in every aspect of how we as humans choose to live that we must take into consideration the intentions of how we ethically or unethically choose to use the technology that continues to develop before our eyes. Privacy Privacy as it pertains to information technology is very relevant and important in today’s society. With inventions like “The Cloud”, Email, and online banking it is very easy for people to have their privacy violated. I have had an old Facebook account get hacked into and various emails were sent out to people on my friend’s list. Whoever hacked into my account obviously had access to my private messages, they could see my entire friends list, and even make posts and send messages as if they were me. This was a clear violation of my privacy. As social media sites and other web based functions are used by young adults and children, their online protection has come into question. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act is...
