K-Pax Moral
December 8, 2009

K-Pax In the movie K-Pax, the main character, Prot, may be a human who is mental or he may be an alien from the planet of K-Pax. Many people try to figure out whether Prot is human or alien, but no one can come up with a positive answer. There is evidence that supports both opinions. Prot may be a human who is just mentally disturbed. He speaks English and you would would think if he was an alien, he would speak the native language of his home planet. Prot looks like a human too. He has all of the features that you and I have. Aliens might not be green and what we think they look like but they would have that many looks related to ours. Also,

    Just like my sixteen-year-old self, the student alien was seeking approval from his evaluator. He tends to look at him anytime he presses a button. When taking my driving test, I did the same thing. After each task, I would look at my evaluator for approval, and would receive a blank face. The older alien in the film was the same way. When the camera moved to his face, it bore no emotion either. He continues to write on his clipboard, giving no hints of his thoughts on his face.…

    Mental Disorders are huge impacts in people’s lives. In this movie I have learned that Prot, the main character who is supposedly from a different planet called “K-Pax”. When Prot comes to Earth, you first see him in Grand Central Station in New York City when Prot mysteriously just appears. When the police ask’s him where he is from and he explains that he is from the planet K-PAX, he is arrested and sent off to Bellevue, a psychiatric hospital. When he gets to the psychiatric hospital, he meets Doctor Powell. Doctor Powell asks Prot many questions including, do they have families and do they have wives or husbands. Prot answers that they do not have any families on K-Pax, nor do they have wives or husbands, and if the girlfriends gets pregnant, the kids will just be wandering around almost as if they are orphans. At the first meeting with Prot and Doctor Powell, Prot eats an apple, which he calls the apple a “Red Delicious”. When he eats the apple he chews very loud, later on in the movie he eats a banana, with the peel on and he eats it whole. Prot says that he travels faster than the speed of light. Prot tells the doctor that he is Three-Hundred and Thirty-seven years old in human years. Prot wears dark sunglasses because he says that he is very sensitive to the light. Later on in the movie prot tells Howie, which is another patient at the psychiatric hospital, that if he can succeed three tasks that Prot will cure Howie. The first task is to find the Blue bird of happiness, when they saw a blue bird everyone in the hospital was very excited to see. After Howie saw the Blue bird, prot gave him another task which was to ***** and the last wish was to stay at the hospital. Prot says he can only bring one person back to K-PAX. Prot says he can only stay until July.27 at 5:51 A.M eastern time. Throughout the movie, Doctor Powell comes attached to Prot.

    In “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” the old man who comes to the small town looks unordinary to the people living here. “After the discovery of the stranger, six interpretations of his significance arise within the story,” (Slomski 1). The characters in this story all had a different view point on who the old man was, what he wanted, and whether or not he was good are bad, basing it off their interpretation of his appearance. The first interpretation was made based of his voice, Pelayo decided he must have been a lonely castaway because he sounded like a sailor. The neighbor bases her interpretation on the fact that he has wings so he must be an angel that was sent. The next couple explanations are that the man may be the mayor of the world, a general, or a man that will take charge of the universe.…

    Business ethics is the behavior that business sticks to in its every day relations with the world. However, it applies not only to how the business interacts with the world in whole, but also to dealings with a single customer and even to internal actions.

    I would not have believed you two years ago if you told me an individual’s single decision could have such a profound effect on not only their lives but that of their family, their employer, the economy and even the world. The life we lead and the choices we make affect more than ourselves, as evident with the current economic turmoil we are in today. If a consumer would not have exaggerated their income to qualify for a mortgage they knew they would not be able to afford. If the mortgage lender would have verified the information on the application and if they found inaccuracy they would have rejected the loan instead of looking the other way; would our nation’s economy be in the situation it is today?…

    start with the new vision of moral order. This was most clearly stated in the new theories of Natural Law which emerged in the seventeenth century, largely as a response to the domestic and international disorder wrought by the wars of religion. Grotius and Locke are the most important theorists of reference for our purposes here. Grotius derives the normative order underlying political society from the nature of its constitutive members. Human beings are rational, sociable agents who are meant to collaborate in peace to their mutual benefit.…
