Central Michigan University The Matrix and Ethical Action Question

I’m working on a philosophy writing question and need a sample draft to help me study.

InstructionsFor this assignment, use the film The Matrix to think about ethical action. Explain the threephilosophical concepts clearly, using the philosophical texts, and then apply them to the film byresponding to the essay prompt questions. Your analysis must include one citation from Plato’sApology, one citation from Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, and one citation from Sartre’s essayon bad faith.Essay PromptUse the film to explain these three philosophical concepts. You can choose any characters orscenes from the film to help you explain what these philosophical concepts mean

.(1) What does Socrates mean when he says “the unexamined life is not worth living”?

(2) What is the difference between voluntary and involuntary action?

(3) What does “bad faith” mean for Sartre?For example, you might use Morpheus as an example in explaining Socrates’ argument that theunexamined life is not worth living—carefully explain, in detail, what the examined life meansfor Socrates, and how Morpheus might be seen as an example of someone living the examinedlife. For voluntary and involuntary action, choose any character and action from the film andexplain how their action might be involuntary through either force or ignorance, usingAristotle’s criteria. For bad faith, choose a character to analyze and show how they are in badfaith (like Cipher, or perhaps Agent Smith) or choose a character and demonstrate how theyavoid bad faith by acting authentically (like Trinity, Neo, Morpheus, etc).

You may use your own writing from the discussion forums, but please do not simply cut andpaste—make sure your essay reads as a coherent and organized whole.Be sure to explain all three philosophical concepts in detail, using the philosophical texts—thisis a primary objective of the assignment!Avoid plot summary and assume all readers are very familiar with the film.
