RECITATION ASSIGNMENT

 Do we really have the freedom to create moral judgements? If yes, how can we ensure that we
utilize this freedom and be objective and impartial at all times? If not, what do you think inhibits
this freedom?
- You certainly have moral freedom, which includes the ethical option of doing the ethically
incorrect deed if your personal decision requires it. There is no penalty for doing so, unless it
is against the law. In a totalitarian state, this is also true. Except you'll be punished if you do.
That is because, in a totalitarian state, morality is established by the state rather than the
people, and it is certainly not allowed by individuals. You only have one moral option, and
acting on it is your sole option. Ethics are not a factor in this decision.

 How can we encourage other people to be more impartial and critical in creating moral decisions
and judgements? Why do you think it is important to be both reasonable and impartial in our
moral decisions and judgement?
- We can encourage other people to always be more impartial and critical in creating moral
decisions and judgements by making them realize then each and every people is different.
The things that we think is good can say otherwise to other people and for it to be a moral
decision we have to do our best to predict the effect our action will have on other people.
Imagining likely outcomes is a good way to evaluate a moral decision. Education and
experience are important because they improve your ability to accurately evaluate the effects
of your actions.

SYNTHESIS PAPER
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
The framework of Anthony Burgess' novel "A Clockwork Orange" makes it a fun read with a theoretical
and philosophical story about the conflict between good and evil. It demonstrates the power of beliefs and
the ability of humans to make free decisions in the face of adversity. As described in the reading, human
beings' lifestyles nowadays face a variety of issues in terms of sexuality and violence.
The structure demonstrates the prevalence of debates concerning governmental social solutions and their
support for private moral decision-making. The story is an ironic elegy for government successes in a
dystopian society, despite the evidentiary truths of unworthy lifestyles fashioned by the affluence of evil
and devastation.
The framework is a thorough commentary demonstrating that one's ability to choose good over evil is
crucial to one's survival. The book's annotations show that creating or registering good is impossible
because it originates from deep within the psyche and aids in decision-making. External factors
attempting to create morality have an impact on individual choice, affecting humanity.
The framework uses young Alex as the narrator and criminal protagonist with the goal of demonstrating
the necessity of allowing people to make their own decisions regardless of the consequences, whether
they are beneficial or negative. Although there is a yelling aspect to criminals acting as protagonists, Alex
is not a Clockwise Orange in the narrative because such an obsession never exists.
The novel is divided into three parts, each of which contains seven chapters. The arrangement was
purposefully laid up by the author, "Anthony Burgess," since the twenty-one chapters represent human
maturation toward responsibility. (Burgess, introduction) Alex is in the early half of the novel with an
organization that terrorizes society while attempting to gain power.
The group disintegrates as members vie for leadership positions. During the typical invasion that goes
sour, Alex is betrayed and abandoned. His arrest and charges stem from the assault of an old woman, who
later died as a result of the injuries she sustained during the raids. As a result, Alex faces charges of
murder and risks a fourteen-year prison sentence. The second section of the story depicts Alex's
determination to make the best of his jail experience, despite mistreatment by warders and inmates,
including rape attempts. He works in the prison workshops creating matchboxes for a while before
becoming the chaplain's "Mass Stereo Operator (called Charlie)" through religion (Burgess, 93).

This habitation in the Bible demonstrates his stereotype of a bloodshed-mongered guy through his passion
for such describing stories in the Book. Alex is held responsible for the death of a new inmate as a result
of prison conflicts. He is therefore found guilty of two insane acts and is transported to the governor for a
cruel operation to rid him of his ultra-violent and bloodlust mentality. The novel's third section depicts his
recovery from his violent addiction. He becomes unwell as a result of the torment, and his new demeanor
is humble, compassionate, and begging.
The portion also entails his release into a strange and hostile world, to the point that he considers suicide,
but he manages to escape with terrible injuries. Due to his bad opinion of the public and political
pressures, he is then subjected to the reversal of the reclamation treatment with a "Deep Hypnopaedia"
treatment at the hospital by the same governor. The story concludes with him joining a new band and
returning to his previous lifestyle of ultraviolent behavior. He then comes to terms with the truth of life
and decides to stop using violence.
The three chapters work together to demonstrate how Clock Orange develops as a dystopia, with people
choosing humanity over evil rather than social or technological improvements to achieve happiness. The
text is a true sign that validated holiness is inborn and has exterior impacts, as evidenced by the writing's
reclamation technique. (Burgess, 140) The book "A Clockwork Orange" implies that humans have the
ability to make their own decisions.
