Ethical Media

Ethical TV show

The television show that I think is ethical is Two And A Half Men. I think it is ethical because it shows how a brother takes in his brother and his son when there are going through hard times with the divorce. He also takes in his brother Alan’s son Jake. Which they are tying to adjust when the brother Charlie is a higher class resident of California and he lives on the beach and drives a jaguar. He is trying to help his brother Alan get a new girlfriend so that they can move out and start over.
The television shows how a family member can help out another family member that is going through hard times. It also shows how your family will always be there for you when you are in hard times. The brothers also illustrate how you should help out people because they may return the favor.

  1. I really do not believe this show is very ethical. There are many references to sex and behavior children under 16 shouldn't even hear about...

    Charlie: Alan, there comes a time in every man’s life when he has to make a choice; does he want to be loved, or does he want to get laid. Fourteen years ago you made the wrong choice. You got married, and you wound up with neither. But now, fate has given you another chance. Welcome it. Embrace it. Grab it's pert little ass.
    Alan: What am I supposed to do, walk into my son’s birthday and say "Hey everybody, look at this gorgeous twenty-two year old woman I'm having sex with."
    Charlie: Oh don't be silly. You don't want to rub their faces in it, you just want them to know where yours has been.

    Yes, I agree, it's funny, but should kids really be watching this type of TV show with language like this in it?

  2. I agree that "Two and a Half Men" is not very ethical as a whole. While it does teach that family is important, and you should help them out, it also teaches that it is okay for men to treat women as tools for their own pleasure.
