Isolation And Loneliness In Ender's Game By Orson Scott Card

The basis of many nations has been the idea that each individual has something which they can contribute to society. We then must remember that to which we all ought to be committed to, that being the ideals to which each person is entitled are not confined to a country, to age, to race, nationality, sex, or creed, but rather are universal principles to which each person may claim the right to. Orson Scott Card masterfully captured this idea in his powerful piece of writing where consequences for the denial of freedom to some were detailed, but what he wrote goes far beyond the words he wrote down on a page. “Ender’s Came” speaks out against social injustice to combat that which many have been too fearful to face. Governments will rise and fall, but it is how we treat our fellow man which will truly alter the course of

Not only does it agree that Card tries to insert his own moral views into the book, this essay attempts to show where Card messed up, and went too

Intentions matter, but is the intent the only factor in determining the morality of an action and the means getting there? Stemming from this question, the biggest issue in Ender’s Game that is still the most controversial, still remains unresolved. Should Ender, the protagonist, be held responsible for the buggers’ deaths? This theme is the basis of Card’s belief of intention-based philosophy.
