Is the Ethical Stage of Life the Actual Stage of Freedom?
Many people in the ethical stage of life think that a person in the aesthetic stage of life are not really free but actually controlled by impulses and never actually chooses what they want to do. A great example of this idea is Ron Burgundy. Time and time again he allows his impulses get in the way of what he truly wants to do.

One of Ron's main goals for his future is to become a network Anchor but his rivalry with Veronica Corningstone got in the way of this. When Ron's dog is punted off a bridge he is a wreck and cant make it to work to read the news in time. Corningstone takes his place and soon becomes his co-anchor. A rivalry ensues and ends when Veronica writes "Go f*ck yourself San Diego" knowing Ron will read anything on the teleprompter. Ron is fired from the station but if he just was ethical and did not start a huge rivalry he would have kept his job and would be a network news anchor in no time!
This is really thought-provoking. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. Although Ron is a great man and a great news anchor, he let his emotions get the better of him.
ReplyDeleteI agree Ron shouldn't have started a rivalry.
