You will be focusing on the type of fraud and the ethics of the fraud involved. I don’t want a movie summary. I want the paper to have a strong component of the ethics of what was done, by people in the film or even perhaps in that industry.
Perhaps, evaluate your chosen movie in terms of concepts you’ve learned thus far. For example, you could evaluate the relevant characters and their actions in terms of the fraud triangle. What could have been done to prevent and detect the fraud? You might discuss a type of fraud (securities fraud, consumer fraud, etc..) and apply it to your movie.
DO NOT write a summary of the movie.
These are not topics you MUST address in your paper; the movie options are too varied. It is expected that you will have to research in addition to watching the movie. You are welcome to devote some space to your impression of the movie, including what you found interesting.
The paper only needs to be 3-5 pages, not including reference and cover page. (To write an adequate paper in that space, it must be organized and concise.)
Grammar and punctuation count. Cite all of your sources. Use APA.
Movies: Pick one for your movie paper. I am open to other suggestions if you know a title on fraud that would be better. Just post it in the discussion board and we will talk about it. (You can also email or text me.) You will be focusing on the type of fraud and the ethics of the fraud involved. I don’t want a movie summary.
I’ve tried to offer a variety. Most have cursing, but some are worse than others.
Below is a list of potential movies.
Wolf of Wall Street (Notice: Lots of cursing! Jonah Hill apparently rose to the top of the list of actors cursing due to his use of the F Bomb in this movie. See History of Swear Words on Netflix.)
