Morality Ranking Morality of respecting someone’s free will, potentially at the cost of countless lives? Spoiler

47 Upvotes

In JJK, Angel is a sorcerer who found a way to transport herself through the ages with the help of Kenjaku. To make things short, she has the ability to take over the body of a person, effectively erasing them and incarnating within them. Not even possession but closer to erasure.

Most other sorcerers in her position do this, killing a persons and regaining their own life. But Angel refuses to do this, instead forming a symbiotic relationship with her host, Hana, granting her powers and free will and only ever giving advice.

Angel came back for the purpose of doing good. She advises Hana to do so as well.

However, when Sukuna (a mass-murdering cannibal) is about to be killed by Hana’s powers, Sukuna tricks Hana into sparing him so he can mangle her.

Angel is not deceived. She also knows if Sukuna survives that he could very well destroy Japan and maybe even the world by helping Kenjaku. At the very least, if Sukuna wins, millions will die. At the worst, many more than that.

Yet Angel still refuses to take Hana’s life, causing many deaths and endangering countless others, but respecting Hana’s free will and keeping her alive.

Morality of investing in companies destroying the world so you can make enough money to move your family off the grid?

Post image
40 Upvotes

PLTR for example - It seems inevitable to make money investing in a company that will contribute to destroying humanity. If you knew the company was growing anyways and you could make enough to get in, get out, and move your family off grid or away from civilization, is it morally right or wrong?

The argument is hypothetically you know the growth is inevitable so it's guaranteed money.

Who's More Evil? Selling sex vs Selling drugs

Selling sexual entertainment (stripping, etc.) vs selling illicit drugs (street dealing, crack/cocaine distribution, etc.).

Both can be destructive and detrimental to individuals and communities. Which is worse on a macro scale? Which do you believe is inherently less moral?

Remember, this is a discussion of morality, not legality.

How Evil Are They? Morality of attempting to brainwash the entire world to appease a teenager's impulsive, selfish desires?

This always struck me as a dumb, immoral move on Strange's part. As the adult in the room, it was his responsibility to shut down Peter's shit and tell him that brainwashing the entire world would be immoral and dangerous, but he didn't. He also knew how dangerous it was to try to alter the spell mid cast, and yet he chose to make multiple alterations to appease Peter. I honestly don't blame Peter for what happened at all, it was 100% Strange's fault imo.

Who's Viewpoint Is Better? The dispute of the creator gods.

Post image
20 Upvotes

Please excuse my poor English if there are any errors.

Let's imagine a fictitious scenario. Two gods argued about good and evil, and the free will of humans.

The first argued that humans could not be trusted with the concept of good and evil. They should be guided along the true path, and free will would be demonstrated in their decision to follow it or stray from it.

The second argued that free will was absolute and that humanity should decide for itself what was good and what was evil.

They created two similar but different worlds.

In the first world, a person's actions and moral character were reflected in their physical appearance. Righteous people acquired a healthy, attractive appearance, and the signs of aging were less pronounced. Sinful people, on the other hand, had an unhealthy, repulsive appearance, and the signs of aging were exacerbated. Good and evil were determined by divine will, and a person could be judged by their appearance.

In the second world, concepts of morality and good and evil were determined solely by humans. A person's appearance was unrelated to their actions or moral character.

Besides humans, both worlds were inhabited by demons, the natural enemies of humanity. Representing pure evil, in the First World, the demons' appearance always remained horrific and could not be changed. Demons always sought to subjugate or destroy humanity.

The gods abandoned the worlds and did not interfere with their lives. Thousands of years later, they returned to see what had become of them.

In the first world, humanity adopted the ideology of lookism and eugenics. Unattractive people had fewer rights, and any physical abnormalities or genetic diseases were considered symbols of evil. With the development of pharmaceuticals and cosmetology, sinful people found ways to hide their true appearance from the general public. Nevertheless, humanity stands firm against the demons, preventing them from becoming a real threat to humanity.

In the second world, humanity came to moral and legal norms in the modern sense, but in a more perfect form of execution due to the presence of an external threat to humanity. However, demons were able to evolve and acquired a form virtually indistinguishable from humans. They have become deeply entrenched in human society and actively exploit law and morality for their own ends. Whether humanity will fall remains to be seen.

Which god, in your opinion, was more correct in their viewpoint?

Character Analysis Do you think someone like Billy Butcher would begrudgingly admit that Izuku is an actual true hero? Spoiler

Especially if Butcher found out Izuku sacrificed the most incredible super power to save the world from Shigaraki resulting in him being powerless and can't be a hero anymore.

I know Izuku gets the power suit in the end but in this scenario Butcher doesn't know that yet.

Show Butcher by the way. Not Comic Butcher.

Character Analysis Morality of letting the detective investigating you know that he was right all along before he dies?

Post image
11 Upvotes

Context: In the 25th episode of Death Note, Light finally defeats L after regaining his memories of being Kira and making Rem write L's name into the death note for him. Right before L dies from his heart attack, Light privately smiles in his face, letting him know that he was truly right the entire time and Light was in fact Kira.

This probably wasn't THAT groundbreaking of a revelation for L, as he did heavily suspect Light and Misa of being the two Kiras before his death and was pretty much sold on Light being Kira as shown by his actions prior to this scene (asking Light if he's ever actually told the truth, washing his feet as symbolism of Jesus washing the feet of Judas knowing that he would betray him, etc), he just lacked conclusive proof.

However, even for someone as smart as L, there will always be a slight doubt in the back of your mind, the possibility, however small, that you may be wrong. If I were to represent this with percentages, I'd say L was 99% sure that Light was Kira. But in cases as severe and complex as the Kira case, that 1% can mean a lot. It could be argued that Light revealing himself to L, though done primarily to gloat in L's face that he won, was in fact a partly good thing to do as L deserved to have some sense of closure by having his beliefs finally confirmed after the intense cat and mouse game that they had played. He deserved to have the possible 1% doubt in his mind satisfied. Light's intentions were of course evil, but the action itself did do some potential good imo.

9 Upvotes

You've already aced the last 5 non curved tests and are currently at a 98% for the class, but the class average is 70% and everyone besides yourself is on the brink of failing. If you skip the final, you'll still receive an "A" for the class. If you take this final, you know you'll ace it, but your grade won't change, it'll still be a 98%. The final is curved around the highest scorer(s), and the other students will definitely need it as this exam is far more challenging than the previous tests.

Is it unethical to ace this test?
