In this essay, I want you to think about Levendowski’s story through the lens of morality. What has he done right? What did he do wrong? Is he a decent person in a bad industry that rewards shady behavior? How do you view and judge him?
Here’s the template to start the essay:
While Anthony Levendowski has made questionable decisions, shown a lack of personal integrity, and even shown disregard for human life, he also works in an industry, Silicon Valley, that prides itself on “disruption” and rule-breaking, and his employers rewarded him with high salaries, promotions, and bonuses throughout his career. Given the norms of this industry, I believe his actions were [justified/still unjustified].
