Ethics in Series
In recent years, television series have increasingly evolved into a subject of ethical debate in the wider public as well as in application-oriented ethics. As such, they are also becoming interesting for the didactics of ethics and media education.
The value systems developed in series are able to challenge the moral intuitions and convictions of their audience. In this way, television series become narrative formats that initiate and shape the debate on social issues. Ethical questions arise regarding the value systems and moral conflicts that the audience encounters, as well as their aesthetic design. Application-oriented ethics is interested in the content and form of television series, which are increasingly developing into narratives about the societies in which we (do not) want to live.
