Schindlers’List in Ethcis

I think about ethcis that come from habits are something where and how the main branch of
philosophy which studies values or qualities becomes the study of moral standards and judgments. I
see a ethcis items in Film Schindlers’ List , where the scene that apply in March 1943, Nazi officials
liquidate the Kraków Ghetto, murdering Jews by the hundreds in the streets. Survivors fit to work are
sent to Płaszów concentration camp for forced labor, while the rest are sent to the Auschwitz
concentration camp, which is already infamous among Europe's Jewish community. Schindler
witnesses the liquidation of the ghetto from a nearby hillside, unable to tear his eyes away. Survivors
sent to Płaszów find themselves even worse off than they had been in the ghetto. The camp's
commander, Amon Goeth, (Ralph Fiennes) takes great pleasure in tormenting and murdering his
prisoners. (In real life, Goeth was eventually relieved of command of the camp by the SS for theft of
Jewish property and the horrendous treatment of prisoners, among other offenses.) Arguing that the
treatment his workers are receiving is negatively affecting his business, Schindler procures the right to
create a sub-camp, and ends up housing his workers at the factory. After that he gave motivation to
them to build their personality to be good workers

Around this time, it becomes obvious that Schindler's motivations go beyond pure concern for his
factory's bottom line. After a confrontation with Stern over the personal risk involved with saving
workers from Płaszów, Schindler bribes a clerk into sending him two older prisoners whose daughter
has pleaded with him to save them. Shortly thereafter, the elderly, the sick, and the children of
Płaszów are taken away by the Nazis. With the Płaszów camp facing a final shutdown, Schindler
devises a plan to open his own camp and munitions factory in his native Czechoslovakia, to which he
can move his workers. In order to keep up appearances, Schindler continues to socialize with Nazi
officers, and pretends that his motivations for protecting his workers are purely financial. He bans
guards from the factory floor in Czechoslovakia, arguing that harsh treatment and executions are
detrimental to productivity. "If you shoot without thinking," declares Schindler, "you go to prison. I
get paid. There will be no summary executions here." He also rescues children from Auschwitz,
claiming that the children's small fingers are necessary for polishing the insides of shell casings. In
reality, Schindler's undertaking is now coming at great personal cost. By war's end, Schindler has
spent most of his personal wealth on constructing his camp, providing food for his Jewish workers,
and bribing Nazi officials.
