MORAL LESSON
From this film we can noticed that there are many problems occurs as well as both positive and negative lesson to think about. * In a positive light, Iron Man work is to protecting American soldiers as well as American population as a whole. When Tony visits the soldiers overseas, they demonstrate their respect and adoration for him by taking pictures with him and asking many questions. All nobilities aside, this business is definitely portrayed as glamorous. Tony’s lavish lifestyle is characterized by a fantasy home, extravagant cars, and gambling. The second scene of the movie was at Caesar’s Palace in Vegas where the Apogee award for Design and Engineering was being given to Stark Industries. * In the negative light, this business actually result in many deaths. That confrontational reporter asked Tony how he felt about his nickname “Merchant of Death.” She also says that people call this business “war profiteering.”

ETHICAL ISSUE
Ethical Issue: Tony Stark and Stark Industries From the all reason that is previously listed, business in this industry can be a constant ethical dilemma for anyone that involved. In the first part of the movie, Tony has no qualms at all. He believes the weapons he creates protect and defend American soldiers. Then, when he is in Afghanistan to demonstrate his new missile, his caravan is bombed by a terrorist cell. Before he gets hit, he looks at the grenade and sees “Stark Industries” on it. It explodes, he ends up peppered with shrapnel, and the terrorists capture him. He is only saved because another of their prisoners is a doctor, and they want Tony to create the missile for them. When Tony escapes and returns home, he begins second-guessing what his company does. Now that Tony has learned that somehow the terrorists obtained his weapons and used them against Americans, the ethical dilemma now is what to do with the company. Though his company does other things, most of his wealth comes from creating weapons. It is clear at this point that Tony has decided that his wealth is not worth the harm that his weapons have caused. Though he puts his reputation as well as his company’s stock price at risk, he resolutely decides to put his innovative talents to use in other ways. Tony resolved this issue the way he should have. At first, due to the lack of (or biased) information, Tony believed his company did good things. While the defense industry as a whole is quite controversial, Tony believed that Americans and their weapons are achieving the most good possible in an imperfect world: that they are only being used against those who initiate the attacks. When he learns his weapons are being used against Americans, he decides to change. He spends his time developing the Iron Man suit, which is bullet proof, can fly, and is armed. The first time he uses it is when he hears of an attack by the terrorists on a small town called Galmira in Afghanistan. He puts on the suit, flies there, and takes out the terrorists, thus protecting innocent civilians. Note that he has not limited himself to protecting just Americans: he truly wants to establish whatever peace he can. According to the previous quote, he wants to achieve “the highest good for this country,” which would make him a consequentialist at Stage 5 of Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development. However, now his actions put him in Stage 6. He has chosen to make moral decisions according to the ethical principle of establishing as much peace as possible in an imperfect world, being impartial to those affected by the decision. If you are hindering peace, he will stop you. If you are a victim of terrorism, he will protect you if possible, no matter who you are.
