 \u201cJudgment
\nat Nuremberg\u201d (1961) <\/strong>is a highly complex film, widely regarded
\nby critics and scholars as one of the finest of the mid 20th<\/sup>
\ncentury. This film deals with many issues of ethics and morality.This prompt
\naddresses merely one of them, brought up near the end of the film.In one of the
\nfinal scenes, Judge Heywood (Spencer Tracy) and one of the defendants, former
\nNazi Judge Ernst Janning (Burt Lancaster), are shown conversing.Janning admits
\nthat the guilty verdict is just.Then he says, \u201cI never knew it would come to
\nthat.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Judge
\nHeywood\u2019s response is both powerful and full of enormous implications for the
\npresent, because it deals with the implications of moral compromise with evil:
\n\u201cIt came to that the first time you sentenced a man to death\u2026\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine
\nthe following hypothetical scenario: One of your closest friends, from early
\nchildhood and a recent UCLA graduate, is an aspiring teacher.She has wanted to
\nbe an educator since early childhood and you and she have had many discussions
\nabout her professional aspirations. She wants to build a career as a high
\nschool teacher in social studies and history, making that a focus of her
\ncommitment to public service.Recently, while at school in her first job, she
\nobserved a senior teacher pushing and shoving a student of color into a
\nclassroom wall, calling him a racial slur.Your friend witnessed everything
\nduring that encounter but had nothing to do with it at all.Afterwards, she
\nencountered the student who showed her a few minor bruises on his arm and face.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nvictim complained to the Principal, who said that he would \u201cconsider the
\nmatter.\u201d Meanwhile, she found the teacher, who was her mentor during your
\nstudent teaching days, in the teachers\u2019 lounge.She asked him about the
\nincident. He told her to just say \u201cshe didn\u2019t see anything\u201d if the Principal
\nasked her about what happened.He said, \u201cThis is no big deal and you shouldn\u2019t
\nrock the boat.Besides, you do want to get ahead here in the school, don\u2019t
\nyou?\u201dBecause she was confused and upset, she went to another teacher who also
\nmentored her during her training and asked her what she should do.She told her
\nto do what her conscience demanded, but added, \u201cLook, sometimes you just need
\nto keep your mouth shut.You gotta go along to get along.Isn\u2019t that what your
\nparents told you?You\u2019re a teacher now, and you\u2019re gonna see a lotta <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

.
\n. . . during your service.That\u2019s how life works.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

So,
\nyour friend decides to ask you for advice.As it happens, you\u2019ve just seen and
\ndiscussed \u201cJudgment at Nuremberg.\u201dYou tell her that you understand her
\ndilemma.You recognize her need to advance in her career and you realize that
\nthis incident is fairly minor and far from Nazi Germany and genocide.But at the
\nsame time, her silence or even a lie would be a moral compromise to some
\ndegree.What is your advice?She trusts and values your judgment.Make an
\nargument, with any position that makes sense to you, drawing on the film,
\ndiscussions, and your own capacity for reasoning.How much, if any, compromise
\non this issue should you advise her to pursue and why?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

**Knowledge of the movie Judgement at Nuremberg (1961) by Stanley Kramer is needed for this to be written well. Also please write about why the scenario that was observed is wrong and should be confronted as so. As a white person, I recognize what the teacher did was racist and she should be held responsible for such actions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
