Cinema would be one artistic medium I believe has the most relevance for an ethicist .The movies on the big screen now have adapted to what we are normalizing a religious person find atrocious. Such as gay marriage , we now have scene of gay and lesbian couples leading a normal activities . This could go against people on the production team yet to make a great movie this is what sells , its normalized and people can relate. What ever this ethicist normalizes will be seen that way by more people. Interracial marriages is a big one! this action accepted by someone with this power it will be accented by many ,their word is something we trust. Whatever their standards of right and wrong is what most of the society will accept. Of course there will always be the group that does not follow or agree, but the power this has in cinema has been seen to change the way things are done and viewed. Cinema exposes us to things we never have seen maybe in our communities or families,good or bad that is for an ethicist to put out ,and us to follow or not.
