Blog Post #4: House “Pilot” and the Moral Philosophical approach

Yesterday, we viewed House in class. Now, it is your turn to respond to the episode through the Moral/Philosophical Lens. Consider our discussion on Tuesday about positive and negative role models on television. Respond to the following in about 3 solid paragraphs.

Respond to one or more of the following questions:

Which character do you sympathize with the most based on values/morals/beliefs, and which character do you sympathize with the least based on values/morals/beliefs?

How do the characters act, and what sort of model do they provide to a reader? (positive or negative)

How do the morals of the story differ from your own morals?

What is the lesson being taught in the episode/series? Do you agree or disagree with this message?

You might also consider the following in your response:

To what extent does a work mirror the morals and values of a culture (or society at large)?

What consequences do characters face for right or wrong choices?

How do the morals of the story differ from yours?
