Blog # 4

One direction I may take my paper on Bioshock is discussing the ethics of scientific research with and without limitations or any sort of moral code. For this direction I would bring in sources like a medical journal of ethics and the novel Next by Michael Crichton.

Another direction I might take this paper is to discuss a Dionysian society that is completely centered around the advancement of one's self rather than the group. For this topic I would use Ayn Rand's philosophies and Nietzsche's Birth of a Tragedy.

I suppose I could also talk about the ethics behind choosing your own path in the game. You can choose to save the little sisters, who will grow up to be doctors and lawyers, or harvest their eve to advance your player.
