Compare and contrast three pivotal choices or decisions
made by Jamal and Salim. How do their choices affect their
respective paths in life or "destinies"?

• in my opinion i think that this choices where when Salim and Jamal recived help from those strangers, when Salim took the decission of become a gangter, and when Salim told talivka to escape from the ganster and to go where Jamal was. the frist decission they made of accepting those starngers help, lead them to the danger of not knowing what could possible happen to them, they just took that help and when they were with those strangers they knew it was a bad idea and lead them to escape from them, the second decission was when Salim decided to become a ganster, he knew of the dangerous business he was going to enter, but he had nothing that's why he choose this path, this lead him to a life of obbeying the boss no matter if it was against his brother will, the last one was a little bit wise decission, because he knew that he had taken so many decisions that had affected his broters life and he knew that his brother will was to be able to pass his life with Talivka the girl he always wanted to help, that lead him to make a deccisiion for his brother knowing the consecuences that this would bring, but at last this lead him to death.

Is ethical decision making possible when one must make choices based on survival? Do seemingly "bad" choices make a person bad?

• I think that choices based on survival ar acceptable, but are not always rigth, you can't judge a person because of a bad deccision he made, i think that bad person always do bad decissions, but that bad deccisions never make bad persons.

What do you think the film is saying about the globalization of culture through media? We see the game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" adapted in the Indian culture. Is this a sign of progress? Why or why not? What is this film staying about the effect of money on culture?

• i think that the world somehow it's being globalized, because of the expansion of the media, and all this is the because money it's moving through the world, i think that today the world is being buy by the power of money what countries around the world always wanted was the money, if they can sell their culture for some benjamins they willd o such a thing, money is the first cause of globalization. Money it's a way of changing people life, sometimes it change for good and sometimes it turn you into his prisioner, you can control money or it can control you, it will depend in how you work to get it, and the way you're going to use it.

PD: prof. it was difficult to find the questions, because your blog misses some times and states error, and leave you with no material for the assignment.
