Watch “The National Anthem,” Season 1, Episode 1, Black Mirror. 2011 (Netflix) Black Mirror is a drama/satire anthology series which explores issues of ethics, morality and law, by examining society’s relationship with technology. “The National Anthem” is a British political thriller in which fictional Prime Minister Michael Callow faces a huge and shocking dilemma when fictional Princess Susannah, a much-loved member of the Royal Family, is kidnapped. According to one IMDb.com reviewer, “It’s certainly not pleasurable to watch, it’s disgusting, outrageous, appalling, far beyond the limits of good taste, disrespectful with any generic conventions, etc. But it is the vehicle to communicate something important, to force a valuable reflection on the audience and make a bold point.” What are the ethical points that “The National Anthem” makes? Citing as many ethical frameworks as you want to, consider these questions: What are the moral and ethical choices presented here? Consider all aspects of the narrative. Within which ethical frameworks must the Prime Minister, either voluntarily or involuntarily, operate? What, finally, should he do? Write a minimum of 1500 words, double spaced, in MLA or APA format. You must cite a minimum of 4 sourc‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‌‌‌es: “The National Anthem” Episode The text book At least 2 other sources The citations for each of these two additional works MUST be ANNOTATED.
