Ethics 1

I would not run this photo because it is overly graphic and does not prove any point. People can read a story and see the picture in their mind, they do not need a real-life photo to help them understand the situation. Before making a decision I would ask myself if it is beneficial in any way to run the photo, I would also ask if it is appropriate for the soldier's family to run the photo. Since it is not beneficial nor appropriate I would not run it. Also it is inappropriate for any family with members in the army to see this photo. It is too graphic and evokes emotion in any family who has had loved ones die in the military. I also do not think it is ethical to run this photo because it is uncensored and most individuals would not want to see the tragedies of the military. I think it is disrespectful to the family and undermimes public opinion about the war.
