Examples taken from LesMis but the principle is the same for Shawshank Redemption
Duty
Scene
Ethical argument
Javert demanded that Valjean stand for a trial for breaking parole even though years had passed and Valjean served as Mayor of a city.
Javert had a duty to others as a police to treat Valjean as a criminal. His duty to do the right thing even though the end result did not make sense, and even though Valjean was really no longer a criminal. He demonstrated fidelity to his profession as a police officer.
Consequentialism
Scene
Ethical argument
The Villagers were willing to take even gold fillings from Fantine for re-sale and personal gain.
It was OK to use and abuse a woman for personal gain. It is an example of Hedonism where there is no regard for another person, looking only for personal gain.
Cultural Relativism
Scene
Ethical argument
When Fantaine was being abused and mocked by her co-workers because she had a baby when she was not married.
Culturally, a woman was shunned by others when she had a baby when she was not married. It was justified because of Culturalism, where right and wrong is determined by your community.
