    This document discusses how moral compasses are shaped by culture and location based on the novel The Great Gatsby. It notes that the characters in the novel have differing views of morality based on their cultural backgrounds, with Americans valuing fixed social status while English culture emphasizes genuine connections. The lavish parties hosted by Gatsby reflect the moral disarray and superficiality of the American social elite at that time. Additionally, the cultural values of 1920s America helped shape Tom's infidelity and affair, as his actions were more accepted by the values and norms of that time and place. In conclusion, analyzing the contrasting diction used to describe different characters and settings can help understand people's motives as explored in the novel.

    GLOBAL ISSUE : HOW ARE MORAL COMPASSES SHAPED BY CULTURE AND

    GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION

    Literary work: The Great Gatsby

    Notes for the oral:

    - Contrast: Nicks morals+ethics and other guests don’t mind going to party without
    being invited ( DASH - emphasize )//// People ending up at Gatsby’s door→ lack of
    morals and ethics ( word choice )

    ( instead of going ). // reference to AP → lack of genuine connections →


    emphasizes superficiality of parties /// stranger’s party = irony → reflects moral
    disarray+superficiality of social elite /// understatement of Gatsby’s

    parties /// Contrast English+American cultures → Americans = fixed wealth +


    social position //// INFLUENCE of culturalvalues on the characters moral
    compasses → chap 3 EASTVSWESTEGG : “In his blue gardens men and girls

    came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the
    stars.” /// Setting → EC of the US helps explore impact of location on an
    individuals aspirations and

    perspectives ( GATSBY ) /// Tom’s infidelity+affair with Myrtle shaped by


    cultures and values of the time. (C2VOA) /// Conclusion : help understand
    people's motives, contrast N&G and A&E diction, irony understatements.
