    The document summarizes the movie Forrest Gump and analyzes the main character's portrayal of moral courage. It discusses how Forrest Gump demonstrated moral courage through his willingness to do the right thing and help others, even in the face of fear or disapproval. His upbringing by his loving mother and experiences in life helped shape his development of this moral character. While his low IQ and intellectual disability made his behavior remarkable, the document argues it is difficult to say whether he still would have developed moral courage without these conditions, as people are shaped by both nature and nurture.

    FORREST GUMP

    1. Based on the movie, what is moral courage? Limit your answer to 100 words only. (10 points)

    In the film entitled “Forrest Gump”, moral courage refers to one’s behaviour of doing the right thing and standing
    on what an individual believes in. The lead actor, Forrest Gump itself, portrays the role of standing up for values
    such as honesty, fairness, compassion, respect and responsibility in the movie. In fact, throughout the story he
    showed willingness to overcome fear/impossibilities and stand up for core values. Hence, his character simply
    explains how one’s decision making and choices may not be popular or understood by others but strongly keep
    one’s integrity whole.

    2. How did the main actor (Forrest Gump) portrayed the principle of moral courage? Limit your answer to
    100 words only. (10 points)

    The main character Forrest Gump portrayed the principle of moral courage by standing up and fighting for what
    he thinks is right and just. He also showed his bravery in helping those who are in need. In the movie, he showed
    that he will do anything it takes to help and protect Jenny because he loves her. And during the war, where they
    have to run away because of the simultaneous bombing, he was not hesitant and bravely run back to his
    colleagues, crying for help and brings them to a safer place. Since his childhood, Forrest has always been
    courageous and doesn’t hesitate to speak his mind. He’s kind to other people and always lives the values he
    learned from his mother. He is not afraid of what others have to say about him instead, he just does what he thinks
    he needs to do.

    3. In your opinion, how did Forrest Gump developed moral courage? Limit your answer to 50 words only. (10
    points)

    Forrest Gump developed moral courage through his experiences in his life. Even though he receives negative
    consequences, he still has brave behavior and helps people in need. As he came from a loving mother who taught
    what life is, Jenny also taught him what to do when danger happens.

    4. Observers and experts said that Forrest Gump’s have an IQ of 75 (below average) and has a diagnosis
    according to DSM-IV autistic disorder criteria, ruling out possible alternative diagnoses such as Rett’s
    disorder or childhood disintegrative disorder according to observational evidence (Applied Behavior
    Analysis Education, 2016). In your opinion, if Forrest Gump was not as he is (low IQ and with intellectual
    disability), do you think he would have developed such moral courage as depicted in the movie? Explain
    your answer. Limit your answer to 150 words only. (20 points)

    In our opinion, it's a yes or no. Because life is full of twists and turns, we don't know what will happen now and in
    the future. If Forrest Gump were not as he is, he would still develop or may not develop such moral courage as
    depicted in the movie. As we can see, Forrest Gump developed his moral courage through what's happening in his
    surroundings or through his environment. If he doesn't teach well by his mother or the people around him, he will
    go to another path to not develop moral courage. Just like Jenny's experiences, her life became miserable because
    of her background or experience from an abusive father. Maybe if Jenny didn't go through that experience, she

    might not also be a despairing person, and her life may be decent. People grow through experience if they meet
    life honestly and courageously, and this is how character is built.
