As we watch the film On the Waterfront this week, consider the varying beliefs of the characters when it comes to what the difference is between a traitor and a whistle blower, or a "stool pigeon" and an "informant on criminal activity". In your 2 paragraph blog post, discuss what the characters believe about this question and then discuss what YOU believe about this question. When are you being a "tattle tale" and when are speaking out against what you believe is improper behavior?
This week when you post on your outside book, reflect on ethical choices that your person has to make in their life. Reflect on that person's code of ethics. These two separate posts should help in brainstorming your thesis for the ethical research paper.
And yes, you should have 2 posts this week. One for the "teacher question" and one for "outside reading". At the end of this week your blog should contain 2 posts on a teacher question and 3 posts for outside reading: a total of 5 posts.
Thanks, and happy blogging!
