Morals and visuals
-Talks about why it is important to discuss morality in
visual media
-Morality vs. ethics good and bad
-Theories
What are the relationships between ethics, morals and
visuals in the media according to you?
-ethics usually display what we think are good and bad
-morals are also what we think that may be good and bad.
People usually set morals for themselves whereas an ethic might be what the
world thinks is right and wrong
-visuals usually include the bad and the good within the
media. Some examples are maybe that perfect guy in your life, falling in love
and it being perfect.
In the book it states: the most basic dispositions of humans
to our desires,emotions,intellect,actions, and the earths ecology.
Wilson (1990)
Are pictures used to do something to you?
I think they are. When viewing a young girl crying or a baby
do we not feel sad or think it is cute? If we watch a couple get happily
married, do we not picture our perfect wedding and hope for the same thing? I think
pictures can effect our emotions without us being aware.
Can manners promote good morals?
-I would say that they might have good ethics, because they
have codes of conduct that people follow, but I would not consider them good
morals. Anyone can be polite and look you in the eyes and shake your hand, but
it takes more to actually see the person beneath.
Ethics: explicit framework supported by the morals of a
community/group. Includes statements of how to live/act.
ethics and you quiz
Can you see morality in visual media?
-we can identify visuals good or bad by assessing our
reactions to the content and purpose of visuals.
How do we know how we ought to be?
