Ethics [Thursday, April 17]

"Next week is your final exam," Anakin said, leaning against his desk. "So this week is your final chance to ask me any questions you might have been wondering this semester. You can ask me about ethical scenarios you or someone else might have encountered. You can ask me my favorite deadly sin. You can ask what makes me think I'm so qualified to teach this, anyway."

His lips pressed together. "Though I wouldn't recommend that final question. Ask whatever you like. I'll try to answer it honestly."

He glanced around the room. "Who wants to start?"

With your most thoughtful icon.

Maybe not "who stuck a lightsaber up your butt?" but anything else is fair game.

Hi, Jo!

If you have questions you don't want the entire class to hear.

Ask whatever you'd like. If he doesn't want to answer, he'll let your character know.

Jo Harvelle

Hoshi Sato

Jo was there, and absolutely not considering questions involving kazoo orchestras, really.

Karal and Evey are totally absent, seeing as they're off in Valdemar.

Lana Lang

Lana hung around a little after class. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to New York City this weekend. To find Joe's grave. I'm hoping that will help me get a little closure on everything."

Romeo Montague

Savannah Levine

Amber Atkins

Anemone

"What are the ethics of redemption?" Romeo asked, almost quietly, not sure he really wanted to go where he seemed determined to go. "That is, when and why should you forgive yourself, if you know you have acted unethically?"

"I still don't understand who gets to decide what's ethical and what isn't," Anemone called out. "I mean, what gives someone the right to force their moral code on someone else, let alone an entire country or world or whatever?"

Adah Price

"There are some things you will never forgive yourself for," Anakin said. "Spur of the moment mistakes--making a wrong choice in the heat of battle, saying something stupid because you were angry--this was why the Jedi valued calm, learning to control your emotions."

He ran a hand through his hair. "Which is why if you've coldly calculated something terrible, it's that much harder to get over it."

"You can forgive yourself for being an idiot if you've learned from your mistake," he said finally. "If you're still justifying why you did it, you haven't learned."

Adam Park

He smiled. "Because when you try to leave it up to everyone to decide for themselves, some idiot always screws it up. It's the difference between living in chaos and living in a society. Some things are always wrong, regardless of culture or time."

Anakin gave her a confused look as his gaze swept over her.

Sometimes being psychic was no help at all.

"I hope it will too," Anakin said quietly. "Please restrain from flinging yourself down on it and rending garments. It's terribly undignified."

Andrew Wells

Romeo was having a momentary argument with himself about the difference between a good reason and a justification, but he had enough of an idea what Master Skywalker would say that it didn't seem worth sharing.

He'd never calculated anything, anyhow.

"Thank you, sir."
