In " The Way for the Gas,
Ladies and Gentleman" the dichotomy between disposing of dead babies and
feeding someone with a death sentence over his head starkly illustrates this
concept of morality. This subject made me think of the Madoff and Enron cases
in my Business morality and ethics course. On the one hand, Enron was doing a service to the energy
market by providing people with a means to have energy at more affordable
prices through their transformation of energy supplies into financial
instruments that can be traded online like stocks and bonds. On the other hand, they stole $1.7
billion in fake earnings by lying on their balance sheets. My understanding of morality has shifted as a result of this
course because I came to learn that morality has multiple faces and no one
person, company
or entity is solely good or evil.
