In Class: Ethical Appeal

The object that I brought in is my medical insurance card. When first thinking about the assignment i tried to think of an object that showed something about someone carring for someone else or providing care for someone else. Another way that something can be an ethical appeal is that it shows a part of who you are. Im not sure that my medical insurance card does that exactly though. You can find out certain information about me though, it shows who my mother is and what her name is and that my father is an employee of Delta airlines. I guess that would be a lot of information to come off of a card.

I think that the best way that this object represents an ethical appeal is that it allows me to acquire any medical assistance necessary. Whichever doctor I visit I will present them this card and then I will be allowed to recieve medical care. This can be considered an ethical situation because the doctors are providing a service that will allow me to recieve the necessary care needed. Doctors are available in order to help people which is a concept of ethics. Not only is the action of me going to the doctor a component of ethical appeal it also has the "normal" definition of ethical appeal dealing with morals. Doctors are constantly bombarded with ethical and moral decisions and must choose the right path.
