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.
