Throughout this essay, we will be looking at “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye” written by Tony Parsons. I will also be discussing the type of ethics followed by the main character using “A Short Introduction to Five Types of Ethics”. The main character is Jaswinder “Jazz” Smith who seems to be following utilitarian ethics for a lot of her decision making. According to the Five Types of Ethics, “Utilitarianism is the view that the morally right action is the action that produces the most good … Utilitarians believe that the purpose of morality is to make life better by increasing the amount of good things in the world and decreasing the amount of bad things.” Jazz’s job is to scope out the bad/suspicious people then later on questions them further to figure out their intentions on visiting the UK. Jazz takes her job very seriously and she has been doing it for a long time. When she meets Megan who lies about her reasoning behind visiting the UK and Donald Harrison who believes there’s a microchip in his brain placed by President Obama, her ethics come into play and her decision making skills are put to the test.
Paragraph 2- Details on interaction between Jazz and Donald Harrison
Paragraph 3- Details on interaction between Jazz and Megan.
Conclusion- Describe how Jazz’s ethical codes affect her behavior and decision making.
Good work on this outline. I look forward to reading the finished essay.
