1. Recognize ethical dilemmas in the film and explain a code of ethics (e.g., Utilitarianism, Deontology, Virtue Ethics) used by different characters. Mark Whitacre: Ginger Whitacre: Agent Shepard ADM officials

QUESTION – 1 – ANSWER – Mark Whitacre: Whitacre's character is shown as exhibiting very unusual ethical behavior, pathological lying, that led to delusions, daydreams, madness, and obsessive lying in the film. Mark Whitacre was the most prominent American positioning chief in history to expose corporate extortion. He received a prison term that was far longer than that of any of the crime kingpins he exposed. The fact that he used the $9 million he took from the last route to his advantage is undeniable. Ginger Whitacre: Ginger Whitacre demonstrates honesty, truthfulness, and spouse support. Whitacre isn't the film's ethical main actor, as distinction goes to Ginger. Ginger urges her husband to be "honest" with the FBI. Considering her as her husband's liar makes it hard to tell whether she understands "reality." Ginger supports her boyfriend throughout this spectacular journey. Ginger's aid enables Whitacre's bad behavior. When he's finally caught in an obvious falsehood that shows he needs mental help, Ginger urges him to submit (Lönnerdal, 2017). Agent Shepard: It was an unusual quality of Agent Shepard. This is because the agent escorted Mark Whitacre around corporate as Mark taped his colleagues and plotted to become ADM CEO once the other high administration members were arrested and convicted. ADM officials: The human illness is being researched by ADM authorities. The executives at ADM are actively working to coordinate with major corporations across the globe in order to increase demand for lysine, an additive made from maize. This is a massive industry, yet it might be hard for moviegoers to care about the issues that are depicted. Because of this, Soderbergh focused less on the test's findings and more on the source (Miller, 2020).
