• 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”?

*When they just lived their mother died because if they stayed in there maybe they would also be killed.
*When Jamal was expelled from Salim’s room and he decided to leave his brother and his best friend or well the girl he loved.
*All the decisions Jamal made at the game.
I think that all the decisions this two guys make in the film were very interesting by the fact that they were just some kids that can’t really realize what was going by, and well I think that some of their decisions were correct by the fact that they fight for what they really wanted as in the case of Jamal that he ended with Latika and that was what he tried for during all the film.

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

No, of course that I think that making something that for others or also sometimes for ourselves is “bad” but it is something we need to do for our survival isn’t bad by the fact that we are helping ourselves and that is what we really need to think about our moral with the society shouldn’t be something that needs more importance than our life in a moment like that.

• 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?


Well, I think that this film show us that globalization has a great impact in all places even though we don’t see them exactly the way it is but we are having an idea of what the people is facing. And by this film we can have in a certain way an idea of what India is passing by and the way their culture influences.
Well, I think that both we can see a sign of progress because it’s a program in which they prize the people with money and no because even though the guy win the money they didn’t believe it was a clean game by the fact they thought that he couldn’t be able to know all of the answers, that means that they can think in the possibility that he don’t has enough education to be able to know it all by himself.
And this can tell us that they couldn’t give that big amount of money to someone if they don’t were sure about how come he could know all those answers.
