Some religions see drinking as immoral as it can cause you to escape reality and make decisions you normally wouldn't make. It is possible that when the individual was drinking he chose to enlist without taking into consideration of whether or not he was ready for it.

Analyzing Wilfred Owen's "Disabled" using the moral/philosophical approach conveys the warning that when people are selfish and think only of their own benefit, they may fail to recognize the human dignity of others, resulting in a lack of sympathy and a hypocritical society as a whole.

According to the moral/philosophical approach, Wilfred Owen's "Disabled" presents the warning that a society that is not grateful for the sacrifices of its members is immoral and will teach its citizens to disregard the value of those sacrifices, with the result that individuals will suffer and be rejected by society.

This touches on both the recruiters morals and this characters. Shows that at the time, rules were not really followed (weaker morals, not much emphasis on following rules) and it consequently resulted in the boy losing some very crucial parts of his life.

The impact of “Disabled” by Wilfred Owens had on his readers and audience showed them how people, mostly young men, were affected by the war and the time it had taken place. It showed how then men sacrificed their lives at the time and when they came back, things had deeply changed and were not shown great fullness for what they had done.

This shows that he is easily manipulated which leads to bad morals and wrongful decisions being made. This is immoral because he joined to please someone instead of doing the right thing and refusing to look at the potential consequences of the war.

some people cheered him on because they were nice or because they had recognized what he had sacrificed. there should be ore recognition for soldiers  who return back home because they put their lives at risk to help their country. others should have more respect for them and treat them better rather than looking down upon them because of their disabilities/ differences.

The soldier has a good morale because he wants to save people from dying even though he is underaged, but the people that are recruiting soldiers have a bad morale because they do not care if the volunteers are underage or out of shape, meaning that they are willing to sacrifice others for there own safety.

This poem talks about the impacts of war on soldiers. It talks about a soldier who returned from war and is injured,  and is now in a wheelchair. He thinks about his past and how everyone treated him in a good way, but as he came back from war he now feels lonely. The people who go to war sacrifice their lives for ours, and they should be respected more.

This line serves as a condemnation of the people in charge of the war for encouraging people to support the war effort without informing them of what that would entail/the sacrifices they would need to make.

Aristotle defines a person that acts with the virtue of courage as one that acts courageously at the right time, in the right manner and with the right motivation.  Based on this definition, his becoming of a soldier is not a 'courageous,' act because he did not do so with the right motivation; he didn't join so that he could help, he thought that he may have joined because he was told he looked good in a kilt.

This shows the morals of the recruiters, they do not care that he is underaged and is signing up for something over his head.

This poem explores the effects of war and the treatment of soldiers upon returning home. Despite risking one's life on the battlefield, crippled soldiers are seen as a "disease" by others. On the battlefield others do not have a sense of guilt and responsibility for their actions, no matter how evil. Overall, the "glory" of war is not explored and is instead suppressed by the negative and evil brought upon individuals by it.

Wilfred Owens "Disabled" explores the moral code of war and how its negatives out-weigh the positives. Additionally, Owen also expresses society's inadequate recognition of war veterans. The fact that the man in the poem specifically acknowledges the person who thanked him shows how infrequently it happens and how the cheering shows him how most people do not understand what he truly had to face.

Individuals who saw the man as "some queer disease" have bad morals because they looked down at him as someone who was different from the rest. This is immoral because a person shouldn't be seen as a "disease" because of their disabilities. He sacrificed himself for his homeland which isn't being recognized by the society and this falls under the act of being immoral.

Some people were nice enough to cheer for him and everyone. Not everyone welcomes Soldiers home. They should be respected more since they are sacrificing their lives for yours and the future. Without them we wouldn't have freedom like we do today.

Wilfred believes that he is not strong himself according to this quote. He believes that he is different from the rest of the army and is not strong like them. Also, by mentioning how women's eyes would pass and go to the "strong men" his values of himself are not high and that he underestimates himself

The soldiers are sacrificing their lives to protect their family, their country, and their countries people. The people on the home front are being immortal by being disrespectful to the soldiers who are sacrifice themselves, pretty much not being thankful for being alive. Also the countries leaders who started the war are being immortal for sacrificing their people and for sacrificing hard earned businesses.

The actions of this 'solemn man' reflect the moral value of gratitude, as he is the only person mentioned in the story that actually thanks the soldier and considers his emotions and feelings.  This man's actions teach the importance and value of gratitude; especially towards the soldier and his sacrifices in the poem.

He had bad morals during this part. He didn't care about his enemies, about fighting them or about why they were fighting, he was only fighting for his own personal glory and pride which is immoral because it is selfish and it negatively affects many people (the Germans and Austrians who will be dying by the dozen from his hand, as well as the "young recruits" he wants to be made an example for who may be influenced by this ideology of his and end up catching shell shock or otherwise suffering greatly because he influenced them to join the war

BY WILFRED OWEN

He sat in a wheeled chair, waiting for dark,

And shivered in his ghastly suit of grey,

Legless, sewn short at elbow. Through the park

Voices of boys rang saddening like a hymn,

Voices of play and pleasure after day,

Till gathering sleep had mothered them from him.

*        *        *        *        *

About this time Town used to swing so gay

When glow-lamps budded in the light-blue trees,

And girls glanced lovelier as the air grew dim,—

In the old times, before he threw away his knees.

Now he will never feel again how slim

Girls' waists are, or how warm their subtle hands,

All of them touch him like some queer disease.

*        *        *        *        *

There was an artist silly for his face,

For it was younger than his youth, last year.

Now, he is old; his back will never brace;

He's lost his colour very far from here,

Poured it down shell-holes till the veins ran dry,

And half his lifetime lapsed in the hot race

And leap of purple spurted from his thigh.

*        *        *        *        *

One time he liked a blood-smear down his leg,

After the matches carried shoulder-high.

It was after football, when he'd drunk a peg,

He thought he'd better join. He wonders why.

Someone had said he'd look a god in kilts.

That's why; and maybe, too, to please his Meg,

Aye, that was it, to please the giddy jilts,

He asked to join. He didn't have to beg;

Smiling they wrote his lie: aged nineteen years.

Germans he scarcely thought of, all their guilt,

And Austria's, did not move him. And no fears

Of Fear came yet. He thought of jewelled hilts

For daggers in plaid socks; of smart salutes;

And care of arms; and leave; and pay arrears;

Esprit de corps; and hints for young recruits.

And soon, he was drafted out with drums and cheers.

*        *        *        *        *

Some cheered him home, but not as crowds cheer Goal.

Only a solemn man who brought him fruits

Thanked him; and then inquired about his soul.

*        *        *        *        *

Now, he will spend a few sick years in institutes,

And do what things the rules consider wise,

And take whatever pity they may dole.

Tonight he noticed how the women's eyes

Passed from him to the strong men that were whole.

How cold and late it is! Why don't they come

And put him into bed? Why don't they come?
