I found this to be quite relevant as we have looked at morality as a concept since the beginning of the semester. This story presents an interesting concept because we typically think of morals or moral codes as something that causes a person to behave in a good way. However, here we see two completely opposing moral codes – one of which we cannot really see as good. We see that…
