Charlotte then questions her sexuality and calls it 'unnatural' and 'unbalanced'. She then says she read about how there is a cure for gayness. She suggests that the only person she can be with is a man and draws the line between what is good and bad (deontology) according to the rules of society in that time. This also could be called sociological grounding because they society at this time did not accept homosexuality in their moral compass. Her suggesting that if Skeeter was gay that she had to cure it is proving the fact that she believes being gay is wrong.]]> 2021-05-29 18:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/341025187/ae2zt9lyom8dionv/wish/1570745903 341025187 https://padlet.com/341025187/ae2zt9lyom8dionv/wish/1570746159 Skeeter is troubled with the task of having to come up with something to impress a big fancy writer in New York. She comes to the idea that she should write a column from the helps perspective. Skeeter noticed the unfair treatment of the help and decided to use her virtue morals despite the consequences at this time. Though, the book was written to be anonymous, people were bound to find out that she was the author of the book. ]]> 2021-05-29 18:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/341025187/ae2zt9lyom8dionv/wish/1570746159 341025187 https://padlet.com/341025187/ae2zt9lyom8dionv/wish/1570752950 Hilly says "As a Christian, I'm doing you a favour. See, God don't give charity to those who are well and able. You need to come up with this money on your own".  Tilly says that God wouldn't do it, so she shouldn't do it either demonstrating normative ethics. She says she shouldn't give her the money because God wouldn't do it, definitively reasoning that morally she should not give her money. That she is well and able to make up that money on her own even though she made barely enough to get by as is. This is also sort of ironic that she wouldn't give her money because of a religious cause, but then she displays aggressive racism and an overall not God pleasing personality.]]> 2021-05-29 19:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/341025187/ae2zt9lyom8dionv/wish/1570752950 341025187 https://padlet.com/341025187/ae2zt9lyom8dionv/wish/1570753403 After Skeeter writes the column that makes everyone send old commodes not old coats to Hilly's house. Raleigh, her friend comes over to help the situation. Raleigh's daughter, who is potty training then goes to the bathroom in one of the toilets. She is then repeatedly hit with everyone around to watch. Back in that time image was everything to a woman. She had to have the perfect stereotypical 50's housewife life. The consequences Mae had from smudging her mothers public image slightly reflect how right or wrong that was in that time. It was almost shamed when a child was misbehaving even though the mothers did not have a huge role in the raising of the children. They were expected to keep the help in line and the help was expected to keep everything else in lime. ]]> 2021-05-29 19:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/341025187/ae2zt9lyom8dionv/wish/1570753403 341025187 https://padlet.com/341025187/ae2zt9lyom8dionv/wish/1570754168 Celia is shunned by the rest of the ladies for her low class in society. They consider her white trash. Due to this characteristic put on her she is not invited to any of the ladies events. She calls Hilly many times trying to reconcile and trying to get her to reconsider. When Celia goes to Hilly's after she hears they are having a meeting, she is ignored and the ladies hide from her and pretend they aren't home. This could be an example of Normative ethics. Although, it is not ethically sound in my opinion, they think she ought not to act how she does, and that she should be ignored for not acting like them. We could also take into consideration the concept of social relativism, because they group decided morally they could not be associated with people of different classes or races. ]]> 2021-05-29 19:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/341025187/ae2zt9lyom8dionv/wish/1570754168 341025187 https://padlet.com/341025187/ae2zt9lyom8dionv/wish/1570754390 Hilly tries to get revenge on Aibileen for the book by trying to get her fired and arrested. She goes to Raleigh's house, who is Aibileen's boss, and accuses her of stealing silverware. Even though this is not true, Hilly keeps saying she needs to be fired and arrested. Raleigh has no choice but to fire her because she has a moral obligation that is minding no matter what the person wanted to do or what the wanted outcome is(categorical imperative). Raleigh was crying because she did not want to have to fire her because she was good at her job and the children loved her. But she had to, in order to establish her class in society and to have that power.
