In the movie, A Few Good Men, Colonel Jessup firmly believes in people not “breaking the chain of command”. Which ethical theory studied in the first part of the unit would clearly and absolutely support Jessup’s view about obedience to orders?
Question 5 options:
a The emphasis in deontology on duties and responsibility is most relevant here. Having sworn an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, Jessup’s Marines have given up their right to determine right for wrong for themselves.
b The emphasis in virtue ethics on character is most relevant. Ever since Aristotle, virtue ethicists have identified loyalty and obedience as character traits whose importance outweighs others.
cThe emphasis in preference utilitarianism on the greatest good for the greatest number is most relevant. Unquestioning obedience to authority inevitably brings about the greatest good for the greatest number, while “breaking the chain of command” always leads to bad consequences.
d No one moral theory we have studied clearly and absolutely supports Colonel Jessup’s view. Each theory can find some support in some contexts, but none of them provide unqualified support for never “breaking the chain of command”.
