The Four Component Model

 



What is moral thinking? This is when people decide between right and wrong and how they will apply those moral rules. With Rest's Four Component model, it gives you the process that goes through your mind while you're making a decision. There is moral sensitivity, moral judgement, moral motivation, and moral character.

Moral sensitivity involves how the situation is interpreted and who it affects, as well as what could be the possible outcome. Moral judgement involves deciding between the options in the situation and choosing the most moral one. Moral motivation is when the person gives their full attention to the situation and fulfill their moral value. Moral character is when you combine your ego strength with your social/psychological skills to carry out the situation. These components go more in depth on this document. 

The Four Component model is very useful for when you are deciding on a certain situation. It helps you to weigh all of your options and helps you pick the one with the most beneficial outcome. So the next time you need to make a moral decision, think about using this model as a guide to do what is best.

The idea that people have to look a certain way to be accepted in society, hurts peoples self-esteem and damages their mental health. Not only ...

Defamation in the Acting World

  Defamation is speaking (slander) or writing (libel) something that is false and can ruin some ones reputation that they have. There are many court cases that deal with defamation. Many of which involve celebrities and important public figures. The case that I will be discussing is Keira Knightley V. The Daily Mail. The Daily Mail wrote an article in 2007 about a young girl who died from an eating disorder and used a picture of Keira in a bathing suit showing her slim physique. On the Elawtalk website it says, "The title of the article sporting the photograph was 'If pictures like this one of Keira carried a health warning, my darling daughter might have lived.'" This article claimed that Keira Knightley has anorexia and is part of the reason that the girl died from this eating disorder. Keira denied the allegations that she suffered from anorexia and that she just has a smaller physique. She sued The Daily Mail and won. She donated all of the money to an eating dis...
