In the film it is demonstrated how strength relates to personal morality and social justice. Personal morality can be defined as conformity to ideals of right human conduct and social justice may be defined as fairness in society. In the words of the great philosopher, Joseph Addison, an individual may be qualified to be of greater good to humankind and get to be more valuable to the world (Human Morality and Social Justice 4).

Morality is a key element in life, it is what we use to morally evaluate ourselves and others. It is a system of behaviour in regard to standards of right or wrong behaviour. It is essentially, what governs our actions and moral evaluation. In this essay, I will be discussing the two key positions of, Empiricism and Nativism, and I will be arguing that morality, in support of empiricism, is not innate, but instead, gained through experience.

Sartre and Nietzsche had several similarities in their approaches, but where there are similarities there are also differences. After we take a closer look to some of their ideas and theories, I will argue that Nietzsche goes more in depth in his vision to create a more positive morality.

Victor Mair explains the difficulty of accurately translating de, “is evident from the astonishing sweep of thoughtful renderings of its meaning: power, action, life, inner potency, indar
something that we will be able to observe in this particular essay, since both theories offer different interpretations on what is considered moral and different suggestions on how to characterize Snowden’s case, as far as morality is concerned.
