Well I actually showed up to the lecture today, how novel.
Unfortunately I picked the wrong week because, as I write, I’m currently being
berated, along with the rest of the class, by Doctor Harrison, who has just
spent the lecture, up till now, generally being a dick. By the brief snippets
of egotism that are seamlessly inserted between relevant discussion I take it
that he is important and well learned but I hardly think that justifies such subpar
character.
Somewhat ironically, or perhaps fittingly, today’s lecture
is on ethics. We were shown a whole selection of different ads of questionable
ethics and asked to rate them on tastefulness and ethicality. Well supposedly
questionable; I personally didn’t take offense to any of the advertisements but
maybe that’s just part of being a desensitised teenager.
After this Doctor Harrison went on to discuss ethical
paradigms and the briefly onto different codes of ethics surrounding different
organisations. I can’t remember the three paradigms but I do remember the ever
righteous Doctor making audacious comments about his particular favoured choice
being the only ethically sound model and imploring us to read his book so we
can all bask in his vast wisdom.
This blog mightn’t contain much substance in relation to
what was actually discussed in the lecture but I feel this rant needed to be
had to express just how much the good doctor’s unbearable personality overshone
the content.
