1. Is this an ethical issue? Why or why not?

1. It is an ethical issue because what the man just did has caused
conflict within the principles of society. Even let’s say it was just an art
he should not get away with it because the picture symbolizes Jesus
and he lies within us. Jesus symbolizes us as Christians and what he
just did offend not only one person but the Christian believers as a
whole. Arts should only be meant to express one’s creativity and
passion or insights about anything but don’t involve religion in such
malicious arts as these. No matter how hard I tried to look at it from
many angles so that it can look okay to me unfortunately I can’t
accept it, it’s way too low. No matter what religion we are in if
someone did something that means disrespecting what we believe in.
It would be counted as an ethical issue because just like what I have
said earlier the issue caused conflict within the society. These acts like
these shouldn’t be condoned everyone must get a fair share of respect
in which they believe in as long as it won’t affect the lives of the
others.
 2. Does the question of the rightness or wrongness of this
depends on which religion you
belong to? Explain your answer.

2. No, it doesn't depend on which religion one is in this is very

disrespectful. Just because they don’t believe in the other religion’s
customs doesn’t mean they can disrespect them as they please, we
should give a fair share of courtesy in one’s things that they believe in.
Let’s say it was just an opinion which is very cliche or should I say
overused when talking about giving an opinion to the things someone
believes in. Someone can only accept your opinion if it won't affect
their life or if your opinions won’t cross boundaries and may offend
someone else's beliefs. So that’s it, the wrongness of it doesn't
depend on which religion one is into as long as you have crossed your
boundaries and maliciously made fun of someone else's beliefs. Just
like what I have said earlier even if it was just art it should not be
condoned. Art wasn't meant to purposely make fun of somebody else's
beliefs this also goes to other religions not only in the violated religion.
Not anyone will do it if they're in their good state of mind one must
respect in order to get peace, and one shouldn't have to disrespect
others else's beliefs if it feels inappropriate to them pay no mind with
it and learn how to give respect.
