For my Analytical Research paper, I want to focus on the moral issues of the entire series of “Dollhouse.” There are many things that go on in the show “Dollhouse” that could be considered unethical and against principle morals. The whole idea of the Dollhouse can be closely related to past events in our history including slavery, genocide, and the oppression of less powerful people. The story of the Dollhouse is a rich, underground company who take peoples lives, and sell them for lots of money; making them into super-humans by inserting select personality traits into them. The business is powered by one thing and one thing only, greed. Since the beginning of time people have been enslaved and used, for the profit of some greedy king, or dictator. We obviously see that these are major issues, and the show illustrates these reoccurring problems in a very interesting way. There is a powerful company, who uses animals and even humans for unethical testing of drugs, which I’m sure still happens somewhere in today’s world. They fund the Dollhouse, bribes the new clients with a lot of money, in order to agree to the terms. Ironically, these people sometimes agree because of their own greed, but others have no choice. People will do anything to get one up on each other, and anything for their own personal gain. I am not sure if I want to concentrate on the entire series, because it is such a general topic, but the show has a lot of meaning behind everything that goes on, I would like to watch a few more episodes to see if I can find anything specific that I would like to write about.
