Essay on The Emperor's Club

This caused Hundert to wonder what the point of trying if boys like Sedgwick would never learn. Following this leads to the meeting to Senator Bell, Sedgwick’s father. Upon this meeting Hundert comes to the realization that he doesn’t have the guts to stand up to Senator Bell. “I’m sorry, young man,” he said slowly, “but you will not mold him. I will mold him. You will merely teach him.”(164). This made Hundert realize the fact that the tyrant has a point, that teaching him will make him learn but wasn’t his job to make him to a man. His morals are also broken by letting Sedgwick win all the Mr. Julius Caesar test just to see him cheating up stage.

In The Palace Thief, the first interaction on page 173, between Sedgewick's father and Hundert developed a central idea for the text that some people are afraid to stand up for themselves. After the cheating incident Hundert and Sedgewick Bell's father had a conversation over the phone, during this phone call the Senator threatens Hundert saying "my son has told me a great deal about you, Mr. hundert if I were you id remember that". Hundert reacts to this interaction by doing nothing. This shows Hundert’s weakness and inability to stand up for himself.  This interaction supports the central idea that sometimes people are afraid to stand up for themselves.

There are many relationships throughout the small part we read, in the story ‘The Palace Thief’. The few key relationship are Mr. Hundert & Sedgwick, Mr. Hundert & Senator Bell, and Mr. Hundert & Charles Ellerby.

Realism is also shown in the fact that “complex ethical choices are often the subject,” and the story relies on the lead role (Campbell).

In the beginning of the story, when Sedgewick arrives, we learn that Hundert has confidence in his job as a teacher and believes that his students can learn from antiquity. When he is questioned at his work by Sedgewick, Hundert starts to take disciplinary actions to attempt to make Sedgewick a better student, but when all his actions fail, he threatens to call upon his father for his poor behavior. Soon after that, we start to see a change in Sedgwick. For example, for the first time he passed his quiz and even reenacted important scenes from Julius Caesar adequately.

1.3 – explain a range of ethical and moral dilemmas faced by those in this role

Questions still linger in my mind after I watched the movie, “The Emperor’s Club”. Why we should do the right thing? Is it just because of what our teachers told us to do? What if we have done a single misstep? Does it mean we fail our teachers? How can we blot out a life of goodness then?

Morals are described as a person's standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do. They can be integrated into people’s lives in a variety of ways, and can be internalized quite differently. There are many factors that can influence a person’s morals and internal debates, such as society, nature, and personal choices. Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, is a prime example of the roles morals play in both society and individuals. This novel explores the actions and morality of a group of young boys who are stranded with no adults, and how they function without the restrictions of modern society.

The second ethical dilemma is Wigand’s decision to tell his story about the Brown and Williamson Tobacco Corporation. The movie was made to show his struggle with how hard it was for Wigand to make this decision. He could not keep this kind of information from the public, especially after working with healthcare companies before being employed by Brown and Williamson. He felt personally obliged to tell this story because it could potentially save the lives of countless people. After he decided to do the interview, even knowing the criticism he would receive, the tobacco company then retaliated with campaigns about how awful of a person Wigand was, which then led his wife to divorce him. Wigand made the right decision, and many reasonable people would have done the same thing. There were obviously others who knew about the same information but were too scared of the consequences that Wigand unfortunately had to endure. The CBS interview, in the end, was aired to the public.

Sedgewick found Mr. Hundert in the restroom and Mr. Hundert confronted him yet again about cheating. Sedgewick admitted to all of it, and told Mr. Hundert that he was a successful man with power, and that nothing is going to stop him from reaching to the top. Just then Sedgewick’s eldest son came out of a bathroom stall, he looked his father in the eye with disappointment. Sedgewick then learned that what you do comes back to haunt you in the

In any given movie that one may watch, you can break it down and look at the philosophical meaning behind it and create an ethical perspective. One could take bits and pieces of the movie and compare them to the ethical theories of either one or multiple theorists, with the goal being to create a better understanding of what the film’s ethical basis is and how exactly they incorporate the theorist’s ideas into the film. One of the most recent films that caught the eye of theorists within the ethical department is the movie “Wolf on Wall Street”. In this essay I will present the critique of this movie, the multiple ethical dilemmas such as: Utilitarianism, virtue theory, and how the characters disregarded these ethics in their mission for wealth and success.

Mr. Hundert is a great teacher who teaches a Western Civilization for 34 years in St. Benedictus, a school
