[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am having trouble explaining to my tweens and teens why a justification such as "the greater good" isn't sufficient to support an act that is wrong on the scale of the individual. Yes, this came up while watching the Marvel Avenger movies, when to my shock my tween and teen boys expressed the view that Thanos isn't evil/criminally insane as he just wants to eliminate hunger and poverty. I tried to be straightforward with a discussion of how the end doesn't justify the means, but none of them seemed convinced. If anyone has a suggestion for a better line of argument, or an online or other resource dealing with ethics/morality for kids in general or specifically with the ethics/morality of Thanos's actions, thanks in advance![/quote] Thanos was correct.
