ETHICAL AND LEGAL ISSUES One of the ethical issue in this movie is deceive others for their own benefits. Frank is lied to the officers to obtain information about Pan American Airlines. He is pretending of doing some story for school for get information about Pan Am. He also used Pan Am airline expertise and 'hires' eight local college girls to be a part of stewardess program in order to cover his movement in Miami International Airport to run away from the police and FBI agent.

At first, Frank made his own fake check using his creativity and managed to deceive the bank successfully. After he ran out of checks, he manages to find a printer that be able to turn

out real checks under Pan Aim's name in Mitochondria, France. He made a lot of fake check and deceives many banks around the world. In return, he got almost $4 million dollar illegally. Lastly, the ethical issue that we have in this movie is using an illegal money for their own use and to comfort their living.

Frank used the money that he had from the forged check to stay in fancy hotel suites and eating at expensive restaurants, with the bills going to Pan Am.

ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE VILLAIN FROM A CONSEQUENTIALITY POINT OF VIEW Consequentiality is an actions taken is right if it will leads to the greatest outcomes for the greatest number of people.

For instance, when he become a fake doctor, he cannot do anything to the injured patients and Just let the other doctors to handle it. ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE HERO FROM A DEMONOLOGY POINT OF VIEW Demonology means the rules and principles are important for guiding human action.

They believe that an action is ethical if it followed the rules and universal laws. In this movie, agent Carl Handcart

still want chasing Frank for his criminal even though Frank want to settle down and ask him to not chase him again. Carl said that it is his duty to catch Frank because he had stolen almost $4 million dollar and changes his identity into several persons. ACTIONS BASED ON GOLDEN RULE Golden rules is what we should do to others as what we want them to do to us. In this vie, I would take a different actions if I were in the villain shoes.

At first, when the parents divorced and I will choose between father or mother that I want to stay together rather than to run away from them. But, if I make a decision to run away, I will not forged the checks and using someone else's identities to make money. Forged the checks and changed the identity is against the ethical value and it is against the law. Instead of using someone else's identity to make money for helping to regain father's losses, I would trying hard to get a Job in a prudent manner even though I eave to start from a bottom.

In the end, all of Franks lies is being caught by the FBI and he is given a 12 year prison sentence. At the same time, he also lost his family and his fortune. Even though we feel satisfied when we achieve what we want, but if we get it using dirty ways, in the end we have to bear the consequences and get punishment. In retributive Justice principles, Frank should be punish for his wrongdoing and break the laws. In order to maintain the

Justice while punishing Frank, Carl have gather many evidence and Frank himself surrender to the police. In this movie, I also get a good lesson from Franks actions.

Franks actions also give me a positive lesson if I see it in the positive perspectives. He shows me that we must have confidence in doing anything. Frank had the confidence to be a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer even though he did not have any education about all of that Job. He trust himself that he can do it and he had the confidence to convince others to believe him. Reason that he can be successful in his crime is also because of his confidence. If we applied this skills in positive ways, we can also be successful like Frank in this movie.
