| Jerry Maguire movie poster |
A great example of the contrasting views of the ethical stage and the aesthetic stage is in the movie Jerry Maguire. In this movie the main character Jerry Maguire works for a high profile sports agency until he has an epiphany and releases that he is just being controlled by the greed and selfishness that comes with all the money they're making. Jerry decides to go out on his own and manage less clients which would mean less money. But Jerry is free from the bindings of his job and can conduct his business however he likes. He doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to do ever. Jerry is in the aesthetic stage by definition but his actions are ethical I would say.
The people in the ethical stage in Jerry Maguire are the other agents more specifically his main rival Bob Sugar. Bob was all about getting the most clients and making the most money thinking that is the best way to do things. Bob Sugar l although he does make several choices that are very morally incorrect he does them to get to his ultimate goal.
Great Blog Kenneth. I actually used ideas from this blog to help me complete my own Kierkegaard blog. Also, love the background of the rest of the blog, really artsy. I also noticed you like the movie, Jerry Maguire, maybe we should hang out and watch it toether some time. Just me and you. Maybe a bowl warm buttery popcorn. Doesn't have to be weird unless you make it weird... let's get weird.
