Abstract: | Conflicts of interest resulting from a romantic relationship, just like conflicts of interest of a financial nature, have
the potential to negatively affect professional decisions. For this reason, many companies, universities, and government agencies
have policies designed to prevent conflicts of interest at the expense of personal liberties. In addition, the feminist literature
in the last two decades has added the specter of sexual harassment to the evaluation of conflicts, of interest. A few academic
authors have voiced opposition to this state of affairs. In an effort to enrich the debate with viewpoints from outside of
academia, I analyze six popularly acclaimed motion pictures that address the issue of conflicts of interest in romantic relationships.
All six films convey the idea that people are aware of potential complications but regularly avoid these complications. This
suggests that restrictive policies on conflicts of interest may not be justified. |
