Lego Film Ethics

In his article “Violent Media Is Good For Kids,” comic book author Gerald Jones, claims that violent media such as comic books and cartoons can have a positive effect on our children because children use violent stories to meet their emotional and developmental needs. Jones argues against other people’s views that violent media will have a negative influence on children. Gerald Jones had many strengths in his article which helped support his argument and could possible make his argument effective. His strengths were mainly the use of emotional appeal like story telling and personal experiences to help convince his audience. While Jones’s essay started off strong, he only gave a few weaknesses like the lack of examples and how he only used one reference, his life, to justify his point of view which in the end did not help persuade the audience.

Lord business is the complete opposite of President Business. Lord Business is a very evil and selfish leader. Lord Business wants to take over the world himself and the leadership style he portrays is Dictatorship. Dictatorship is when one person has all of the power which Lords Business did have. In the movie “Lego Movie” Lord Business displays the dictatorship leadership style because of when head had faked the election to rig the voting, he told his slaves to destroy Vitruvius, and when he had covered everyone with Kragle even when nobody liked or agreed with him. Firstly, When Lord Business had the voting election, he had rigged the voting machines

Why do certain people rule over what each child can and cannot read? Is that not the parents’ job to determine whether or not is it appropriate for their child? When a book is considered banned, parents, teachers, and librarians are discouraged from providing the book to their children. Many of these adults then disapprove of the book without even reading it. Junie B. Jones is thrown from the realm of possibility for many children just because the loveable character has some flaws.

“Hell!” the operator’s cigarette moved in his lips. “We got these cases, nine or ten at night. Got so many, starting a few years ago, we had the special machines built,” is a quote from the book that shows a bit of mature language that not be okay for some children. Another quote from the book gives an example of the same thing, “I’m afraid of children my own age. They kill each other. Did it always used to be that way? My uncle says no. Six of my friends have been shot in the last year alone. Ten of them died in car wrecks.” Those are not even the worst parts of the book. I believe some components would definitely be not okay with some parents.

To start off, while people say this book has a negative influence on children’s minds today, but the actual morals are very strong to teaching kids

They think that matters such as racial themes, alternative lifestyles, profanity, sex, violence, negativity, witchcraft, unpopular religious views, unpopular political views, and basically and theme that is labelled as ‘unsuitable’ for a certain age group should be banned. However, our day-to-day life proves that things like these are unavoidable. 1. “In a media-flooded world, where information travels exactly as fast as your Twitter feed loads, it would take the shield of Captain America to keep the unpleasant facts of reality at bay. And more important, these bullets of candor don’t injure young people. They simply open up their minds, or even offer them something to identify with,” says Jamie Leigh for Punchnel. From driving in your car, listening to the radio, watching TV, walking around your community, one thing is clear – you can’t dodge these topics forever. It’s just part of life. In addition, people may feel as though bad content found in books could encourage bad behavior. Let’s consider violence for example. Violence in the media seems to be a bit of an argument currently going on. 2. According to the Luther College’s article, Does Violence Have a Place in Children’s Literature?, “…this fear and panic rests on the assumption that boys cannot tell the difference between violence in a story and the violence in real life (p. 512).

"Life is not a PG feel-good movie. Real life often ends badly" (Quick). Although this viewpoint may seem a bit harsh, in reality, the world, and the people living in it, are not perfect. At some point in every person's life, hardships can occur. Many parents try desperately to shelter their children from reality, and in turn, leave them at risk to be a victim of serious issues such as domestic abuse, both mentally and physically, poor life choices, and difficulty in forming healthy relationships. These issues are common topics in literature, and although they may sometimes be explicitly described, they are realistic and teach children and adults necessary life lessons. However, some parents are offended by the use of

Some parent’s argue that the book should be banned but their argument can be overturned. Parents continue to argue about the violence that the book has, but they soon are going to have to notice that the world is filled with violence and if you’re going to ban a book because of the PG-13 violence in the book you should think about what revolves around you every day. The opposition also argues that the book causes nightmares but without evidence that the book was the thing that cause the child to have the nightmare or was it something that your child seen on TV before bed or thought about we will never no because there’s no evidence the book caused the nightmare. Parents in the situation seem as if they want the best for child and try to avoid and hide their child from the violence but as they grow older there are going to be more harsh violence around them in the real world and the book I think is preparing and maturing them for the

There’s many movies out today that have social issues such as very depressing movies as an example Selma. I choose to do a cartoon because they are one of the main genes of movies that have a social issue in its plot. This movie has a cartoonish version of politics and other things that go on in the world in my opinion. Emmet an ordinary LEGO figure who always seems to do the right thing is mistakenly seen as the Special -- a very special person that could possibly save the world. He finds himself falling into a group of strangers who are on the same mission to stop an evil tyrant's plans to take over the world. Unfortunately for Emmett, he is not very cut out for this plan. So this movie tells you about his journey on

The particular author of this article chose to use the argument that a form of entertainment can change someone's viewpoints and their morals. The author also suggests that any content doing so should be done away with if negative. This author should look at other forms of entertainment that have negative connotations even if they are popular and would be fought for. Critics cannot choose what to fight for and against just because it has something included in it that they don't like. Their morals should be kept the same throughout all their judgements and not changed just because things are included that they don't particularly

Art has a powerful message in any way, shape, or form that it is presented in. I believe that it has the ability to unify its admirers despite their ethnicity, age, religion, or beliefs. This passion is adequate enough to band differences together. For example, a YouTuber that I am subscribed to, Casey Neistat, is a vlogger (someone who documents their everyday life through video), inspirational speaker, and somewhat of a comedian. However, on October 2nd of this year, his usual content adapted into something larger than life. He created a fundraiser in order to assist the victims of the Las Vegas shooting and expressed his sentiment on the tragedy. Neistat confers his range of emotions from anger, to grief, and ends with helplessness, but

“It’s not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written, the books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers” (Blume 1999). Judy Blume can not explain the problem of book censorship any clearer. The children are the real losers because they are the ones that are not able to read the classic works of literature which are the backbone of classroom discussions all across the United States.

Parents may be uncomfortable with the material due to the negative repercussions of children 's exposure to profanity. Neal Harmon, CEO of VidAngel, addresses the effect of profanity on young minds: “Thoughts become words that can become actions. Societies break down once they turn to violence or theft or sexual crimes. That’s a progression of the words" (qtd. in Johnson). Exposing young students to this risk can have dire effects on the education system and the generation as a whole. It is much smarter and more respectful for schools to wait until high school before permitting or encouraging this novel in a curriculum.

I can't remember ever seeing a film with more moral problems and issues than Roger Kumbles Cruel Intentions. Although the film is intended to be a dark comedy and a teenage version of Dangerous Liaisons, Cruel Intentions is a mature and often shocking look at a potential realistic situation played up as a fantasy tale that offers a sickening example of the moral decay present in our society. Morals seem to change from generation to generation, and as time goes on it seems that at one time what was disgusting and immoral in our society is now second nature and pure entertainment for today's generation. An example of this might be to take the idea of a show consisting of uncensored sexual intercourse, and having it actually become a feasible

Consider movies such as Forrest Gump, Little Women, and The Lion King. In contrast, a movie such as Natural Born Killers was intended to imitate the link between violence and media attention in our culture.      In the long run, individuals will make decisions about what they will buy, read, or see. Some will lean towards the vulgar and the pornographic. The American society has some sense of this.
