  1. today I'll be discussing the immorality of power.
  2. Argument I chose is the ultimate test of a person's
  3. morality is their use of power.
  4. And here's why I agree.
  5. The first media piece I chose is Macbeth.
  6. Yeah, and The Play of Macbeth by William Shakespeare.
  7. Readers are introduced to the main characters King Duncan, Macbeth
  8. Bank Well, Lady Macbeth and the three witches This play
  9. gives the audience are looking to a power hungry man
  10. who has an internal conflict between good and evil and
  11. will do anything to become king.
  12. The tech support my opinion that the ultimate test of
  13. a person morality is their use of power.
  14. Macbeth clearly demonstrates the negative effects of power and how
  15. morally changes a person.
  16. When Macbeth cane power, he started to forget his morals
  17. and used his power for self benefit.
  18. He became selfish, unjust and disloyal.
  19. I'll share in firms that Earth.
  20. They're not of my steps, which way they walk for
  21. fear, thy very stoned proud of my whereabouts and take
  22. the present, or from the time which now suits with
  23. it. Whilst I threat, he lives words to the heat
  24. of deeds to cold breath gifts.
  25. The scene like that is discussing with Lady Macbeth whether
  26. he should go through the plan to murder Duncan because
  27. of the three, which is predictions.
  28. The thought of murdering a friend who was loyal to
  29. him causes internal conflict between doing what's morally right or
  30. doing what's unethical.
  31. Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are getting tested on what they
  32. will do with the power they are given upon my
  33. head. They placed a fruitless crown and put a barren
  34. scepter in my grip sense to be wrenched with an
  35. unlit nial hand.
  36. No son of mine succeeding, if it be so for
  37. Banquo's issues have filed my mind and this scene.
  38. Macbeth is now king and is angry that the which
  39. is predicted that Bang Guana son will be the reason
  40. for his downfall.
  41. This is one Macbeth's True Colors show and is no
  42. longer listening to his conscience.
  43. Macbeth uses his power to kill bank well, which exemplifies
  44. the idea that power does the option to either re
  45. morally good or immoral.
  46. Readers can see at this point Macbeth's character development, where
  47. his views on good and evil become blurred and ends
  48. up choosing the wrong path.
  49. My second media please.
  50. I chose ashes in the short story.
  51. Ashes by Beth Pepper.
  52. The readers get a look into a father daughter relationship
  53. to the daughter.
  54. Ashes eyes.
  55. The short story discusses power and manipulation between family members.
  56. Thanks piece of ports.
  57. The argument that the ultimate test of a person morality
  58. is their use of power.
  59. The short story exemplifies the idea that what someone does
  60. with their power determines if they're morally good.
  61. This text demonstrates that 11 has power.
  62. They automatically have the privilege of decision making.
  63. I had a thought, he said as he reached for
  64. my pickle.
  65. Your mother keeps a couple 100 cash at her place.
  66. I didn't think either of us was supposed to know
  67. that. And that pretty teapot her mother gave her dad
  68. said, Unless you change your hiding place, he added casually,
  69. No, I just thought maybe you could board with the
  70. money you'll be able to pay our back.
  71. Friday, I asked you that said I'd be boring the
  72. money from you.
  73. So short story relates back to the relevant to relevant
  74. course themes as it talks about how power negatively affects
  75. someone's decision making.
  76. In the short story, ashes, the readers air able to
  77. observe how power in the wrong hands can easily become
  78. harmful in a relationship.
  79. Ashes in her father's relationship can be described as a
  80. toxic relationship for someone with power takes advantage of the
  81. powerless ashes.
  82. Father uses his power to manipulate her into giving him
  83. money and to follow him blindly.
  84. This is a representation of how unethical the father is
  85. from reading and analyzing the media pieces from this course,
  86. I've concluded that everyone who's responsible for their actions and
  87. house power over their own choices.
  88. What you choose to do with power does not only
  89. affect oneself, however, the people around you, what decisions you
  90. choose to do with your power represents how morally ethical
  91. of a person you are.
