In the movie Changing Lanes, Ben Affleck plays a young lawyer who is anxious to become a senior partner in a law firm in which one of the senior partners is his father-in-law, played by the late Sidney Pollack. Affleck discovers that his father-in-law has embezzled from clients, forged documents, and committed perjury, all felonies and all certainly grounds for disbarment. Affleck finally confronts Pollack and asks, “How do you live with yourself?” Pollack responds that he did indeed forge, embezzle, and perjure himself, but with the money that he made he is one of the city’s greatest philanthropists. “At the end of the day, if I’ve done more good over here than bad in making the money, I’m happy.” Under which ethical theories would you place Affleck and Pollack’s ethical posture?
