Ethical Analysis of “A Beautiful Mind”“A Beautiful Mind” is a story based on the life of John Forbes Nash, a famous mathematician. Unfortunately he suffers from paranoid schizophrenia which mostly affects his personal and social life. Schizophrenia is a psychological disorder in which the patient's ability to function is impaired by severely distorted beliefs, perceptions, and thought processes (Hockenbury, 2010). John Nash, the main character, faces many challenges in his professional life as well as his personal life. life. His friends, who later become his colleagues, think he is simply crazy. They also find it funny. However, they cannot resist despising him for his strange behavior, difficulties with deadlines, and difficulties with women. John is often distracted by visual hallucinations, experiences involuntary movements, and has trouble communicating appropriately with others. Despite his illness, John Nash proves Brouwer's fixed point theorem while still attending Princeton University, and finally earns the respect of his colleagues and his professor. He marries a graduate student, Alicia. She has no knowledge of John's mental disorder until his condition begins to worsen and he is institutionalized and diagnosed with schizophrenia. She loves him and feels obligated to take care of him even if John also puts her and their baby's lives in danger. She realizes that staying with Nash is a great responsibility; however, she decides to take care of him and face the consequences. Unfortunately, schizophrenia is a complex and misunderstood mental condition, which sometimes leads to societal intolerance towards those who suffer from this illness, including John Nash. Society... at the center of the card... is the least advantaged because he relies on the well-being of others: his wife, his friends and his psychiatrist. Fortunately, because Alicia has strong moral values, she agrees to keep John away from the psychiatric clinic. He supports and understands him in every aspect. Even though John is mentally ill and the least advantaged, he still manages to live a meaningful life with the help of his family and friends. Works CitedGrazer, B. (producer), and Howard, R.
