What the Movies Taught Us: Conscience, Courage, and Ethical Leadership in Government.

A Jesuit Reflection on Becoming Human in Complicated Times, hosted by the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.

1–2 p.m. | Benson Center, Williman Room
No Charge

Government ethics is not a rulebook but a question: what kind of person do you become when you hold power? From Dead Poets Society to Oppenheimer, films across three decades have explored that question in courtrooms, palaces, newsrooms, laboratories, and living rooms around the world. Anchored in Jesuit values and the Markkula Framework for Ethical Decision Making, this reflection uses cinema to examine what shapes ethical leadership in the public — conscience before power, truth as the foundation of trust, and the human consequences of public decisions. The opposite of cynicism is not optimism; it is responsibility, and that is the promise at the heart of government ethics.
