Serenity

In the cult-classic space western Serenity, created by Joss Whedon, issues of moral relativism are shown at their finest.  What is moral in open space might not be seen as moral on a civilized planet, and it all depends on perspective.  Throughout the film, the importance of the past in creating right and wrong, choices made, and having deep roots in their morals all demonstrate each character’s desire for their morality to be accepted.  This is evident in all of the characters, but it is most seen in the opposing forces of Mal and The Operative.

Spore As An Educational Tool

Spore is a widely-popular game released in 2008, and many educators have considered using it as a method to teach their students about evolution.  However, this has caused some controversy as to how accurate the game is in comparison to the real-world scenario.  Video games are known for their inaccuracies, so is it a good thing to be showing theories that are skewed in favor of making a game playable?  Evolution is a multi-faceted theory that no one can duplicate precisely, but that does not stop people from finding new and sometimes accurate ways to demonstrate it.
