  1. Bell Ringer- Yes or No and Why? • In Europe, a woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to make. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $ 1,000 which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said: "No, I discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it." So Heinz got desperate and broke into the man's store to steal the drug-for his wife. Should the husband have done that? (Kohlberg, 1963)."

  2. Kohlberg’s Morality Scale • Stage 1- No- It is against the law. I could get caught and punished. • Stage 2- Yes- the druggist was ripping him off, and his wife may pay him back • Stage 3- Yes- He has good intentions, and should not sit by and watch his wife die. • Stage 4- No- What would happen if we all broke the law when it suited us? Society would fall. • Stage 5- Yes- Although breaking laws is bad, the woman’s right to live transcends social constructs of behavior. • Stage 6- Yes- The principles of justice require every be treated equal and all democratic processes must honor this from the perspective of the other.

  3. Apollo vs. Dionysus

  4. The Sons of Zeus • Apollo- The God of the Sun, Dreams and Reason • Dionysus- The God of Earth, Spring, Wine, Ecstasy and Intoxication- everything beyond rational analysis • Neither god was considered evil or wrong • Life is a struggle between the two opposing forces, and man’s attempt to find a balance between the two.

  5. Nietzsche and the Birth of Tragedy • Nietzsche believed that tragedy in its truest form contain a protagonist who struggles to make order (in the Apollonian sense) of his unjust and chaotic (Dionysian) Fate, though he dies unfulfilled in the end.
