Ethic Speaking: Thank You for Not Smoking
Nick Naylor the main character of the movie is a lobbyist who lobby for the Academy of Tobacco Studies. Generally, his main responsibility is to publicly speak in favor of cigarettes and tobacco company with a primary goal to increase the revenues of the company by selling more cigarettes products. But, since common wisdom has it that tobacco and other form of cigarettes are among many of the leading killers in America and other places around the globe, Nick Naylor is generally hated by literally everyone in America who detest cigarettes and big tobacco industry. Therefore, those who oppose the tobacco industry argues that Nick is an unethical speaker. Likewise, with many other critics, myself included, we also continue to believe that Nick Naylor is truly an unethical speaker who has an ethical way of persuading his audiences with logic and reasoning which reinforce his argument. …show more content…

It is obvious that Nick Naylor has violated those standards throughout the entire movie. For instance, during his first interview with the Heather the journalist, asked Nick “I want to know how you see yourself.” Nick responded with a side joke and said “I am a mediator between two sects of society that are trying to reach an accommodation.” Then Heather followed up with another question, she asked him “Nick why do you do this? What motivates you?” and Nick responded “Population Control. Everyone got a Mortgage to pay.” In other order words Nick lobbied for the Tobacco company not because he is oblivious to the kind of effect that cigarettes actually generated to society, rather because it pays the mortgage and keep him and his family financially

    1058 Words  | 3 Pages

    The smoking issue is very complicated and some of the arguments are beyond the scope of this essay. Still, we can obtain a balanced outlook if we consider the following: the facts of smoking, individual right, societal responsibility, and the stigma of smoking. Haviland and King write essays which contain very important points, but seem to contain a bias which may alienate some people. To truly reach a consensus on the smoking issue, we must be willing to meet each other halfway. We must strike equilibrium between individual right and societal responsibility.

  • The Aid of a Scientist and the Menace of a Lobbyist

    874 Words  | 2 Pages

    Scientists and lobbyists share a primary purpose; they both serve to influence the status quo. Both Alfred Kinsey, a scientist, and Nick Naylor, a lobbyist, challenge the boundaries of their society. Whereas Kinsey stimulates the sexual aspect of his society, Naylor pokes at the value of ethics in a cigarette consuming society. The representation of argument is apparent in these films; Kinsey argues for a societal change in the awareness and education of human sexuality whereas Nick Naylor defends the cigarette industry as the Vice-President of the Academy of Tobacco Studies. In the film Thank You for Smoking and Kinsey, the rhetoric of argumentation is represented by two men that share allegiance to their work; however, the motive behind their work differs in galactic proportions.

  • Tobacco Companies in Our Society

    2010 Words  | 5 Pages

    The tobacco industry seems like a beneficial addition to our economy. It has basically been a socially acceptable business in the past because it brings jobs to our people and tax money to the government to redistribute; but consider the cost of tobacco related treatment, mortality and disability- it exceeds the benefit to the producer by two hundred billion dollars US. (4) Tobacco is a very profitable industry determined to grow despite government loss or public health. Its history has demonstrated how money can blind morals like an addiction that is never satisfied. Past lawsuits were mostly unsuccessful because the juries blamed the smoker even though the definition of criminal negligence fits the industry’s acts perfectly. Some may argue for the industry in the name of free enterprise but since they have had such a clear understanding of the dangers of their product it changes the understanding of their business tactics and motives. The success of the industry has merely been a reflection of its immoral practices. These practices have been observed through its use of the media in regards to children, the tests that used underage smokers, the use of revenue to avoid the law, the use of nicotine manipulation and the suppression of research.

  • The Trials Of Oz Analysis

    Highlighting the theme of conflicting perspectives throughout Geoffrey Robertson's, 'The Trials Of Oz,' in particular his essays, The Romans in Britain and The Trials of Oz, is the bias nature of Geoffrey Robertson as he attempts to adopt his view of events, personalities and situations, to convince the reader on the validity of his argument. A perspective is a point of view, and a conflicting perspective is where two point of views clash. Similarly to this, is Jason Reitman's film'Thank You For Smoking' which is a satire of the perception of promoting smoking, but not to the level in which it is disregarded, as no character smokes on film.

    1174 Words  | 3 Pages

    Peter Brimelow’s article “Thank You for Smoking….?” is an essay that looks at a rather extreme perspective on smoking. Brimelow starts off by describing the many actions that are taken against the tobacco industry; he writes that in some states, the government is trying to make the tobacco industry pay certain health care costs. However, he then goes on to state that smoking may actually be good for one’s health. He uses various sources to show that smoking has positive effects on our bodies; he states the decrease in risk in numerous diseases. Brimelow uses medical journals to show that smoking decreases the risk of diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. He also talks about some of the ways smoking enhances certain skills, “A battery of studies show that cigarettes really do stimulate alertness, dexterity and cognitive capacity” (Brimelow 141). Brimelow does pick a tough subject to talk about, but for the most part he does a good job writing his article and distributing information to the reader to support argument.

  • Ethical Decisions In Thank You For Smoking

    1082 Words  | 3 Pages

    You will always be right if you can prove that the other option is wrong and you can explain why it is right to do what you did. Kidder’s dilemma paradigms can help us understand Nick’s decisions in the film. It must be understood that he is focused on doing what’s right for himself as a professional but also as a father to a young son. The choices he makes as a tobacco lobbyist may cause people to doubt his ability to be a responsible father but he is showing that he understands what the right choice is for the situation. Taking in consideration "truth vs loyalty," throughout the film it is clear that Nick is staying loyal to his boss and his job even though he has much like the rest of America 's population had education showing the dangers of smoking. This is the right decision because telling the absolute "truth" about smoking would ruin his career to a certain extent and that would make it hard to provide a good life for his son. As previously mentioned, his decision to keep defending smoking is allowing the "community" to keep their freedom of choice. The paradigm of "individual vs community" is very utilitarian oriented, he is willing to seem like a irresponsible person to the eyes of people who do not understand that he is preserving their freedom. The paradigm of "justice vs mercy" is also shown

  • Analysis Of Thank You For Smoking

    1088 Words  | 3 Pages

    Thank you for smoking is a satirical comedy about a lobbyist whose job is to promote tobacco use at a time when the disease burden secondary to smoking threatens to cripple the nation. The film presents how industries, media and the government interact to influence the consumers’ decision. While the use of rhetoric, such as fallacies and twisted truths, is evident throughout the film, it is most evident midway when the chief spokesman, Nick Naylor, assists his son with his assignment. The son, Joey Naylor, enquires why the American government is the best and in response, the father argues it is because of America’s ‘endless appeals system’ (Thank you for smoking). His response seamlessly captures the tone of the movie as much as it represents the extensive use of a combination of fallacious arguments and twisted truths.

  • A Critique of Thank You for Smoking?

    800 Words  | 2 Pages

    Peter Brimelow’s “Thank You for Smoking…?” had me interested from the title alone. This essay lists a few of the benefits that can occur from smoking. Bimelow is aware of the many dangers of smoking as he acknowledges “the Environmental Protection Agency has claimed that ‘second hand smoke’ is a significant risk for nonsmokers and the Food & Drug Administration is making noises about regulating nicotine as a drug” (The Genre of Argument 141). Brimelow’s essay gives some reasons why and how smoking can be beneficial in some small ways. The message Brimelow is trying to get out is that, “smoking might be, in some small ways, good for you” (141). Brimelow uses words and phrases such as “might be” and “some” to narrow down his major claim. Brimelow’s major claim that smoking can be healthy in some ways. In some studies, certain cancers have been shown to appear less in smokers than nonsmokers. This leads us to believe that smoking may be beneficial in some ways. I think this essay is successful because of the evidence presented along with the narrow major claim.

    Thank You for Smoking Rhetorical Analysis: Thank you for not smoking. The film Thank You for Smoking is an obscure jesting that follows a petitioner, Nick Naylor, for the tobacco industry. Murky comedies take a grave topic, and light the topic through mockery. A worthy example of rhetoric can be found in Thank You for Smoking, during a scene where Nick Naylor delivers an argument against putting a skull and crossbones label on every pack of cigarettes. Senator Finistirre does this during a hearing in front of a congressional committee lead by Vermont.

  • Ethics Of The Tobacco Industry

    1021 Words  | 3 Pages

    One way that the tobacco industry can be more ethical is changing their advertising strategy. I believe that today’s advertising strategy is very misleading about cigarettes. Examples of this unethical advertising is in Argentina, here 20 percent of television advertising is spent on smoking commercials, as well as in countries in and around Africa there are billboards that depict a man in a business suit stepping out of a black Mercedes as a chauffeur holds the door. This displays that cigarettes make people classy and sophisticated, making cigarettes look not only harmless but stylish. Another good example of unethical depiction on cigarettes is in Nigeria; here they promote a cigarette for graduates, with a picture of a university and a student in a cap and gown. As if this wasn’t a misleading visual they add a slogan that says, "A very important cigarette for very important people." These ads and slogan are ...
