It can be said that the problem of being justified ethical criticism of art, at least from three centuries ago, has been one of the most important problems of the relation between art and morality, and always has serious oppositions and positions. Confirming the two kind of ethical and aesthetic values, most oppositions of ethical criticism have attempted to show that these two realms are autonomous, therefore art can`t be criticized ethically; but Nietzsche goes over, and challenges the ethical values. That is, in contrast to moralists, he takes an immoralist position.

Nietzsche`s words, albeit the profound insights they give, do not prove that aesthetic values are more true or practical than ethical ones. Therefore, in this respect it can be speak of being justified ethical criticism, in general, and ethical criticism of art, criticizing artworks ethically, in particular, in addition to aesthetic criticism, criticizing artworks aesthetically.

The statistical population of the research includes the college students of Shiraz University, Islamic Azad University of Shiraz, and a number of other universities in Fars Province, Iran. 309 students were selected as the statistical sample by random sampling. Questionnaires were used for data collection. The collected data were eventually analyzed using Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, and ordinary least squares (OLS).
If the elective ethics course is offered, the students show great interest in taking the course. Furthermore, Theory of Planned Behavior is a better predictor of behavioral intentions than Social Cognitive Theory. The predictive power of Theory of Planned Behavior and Social Cognitive Theory increases when the individual identity is involved.

The findings show that auditors with the high level of individual's motivational values will have a lower tendency to whistle blowing. The severity of the impact increases by their perceived seriousness of the act in question and their perceived personal responsibility to report, but findings are reversed when auditors have a high level of collectivist's motivational values.
According to this study, the most important mechanism influencing the auditor's whistle blowing is their perceived personal costs of reporting. Because of perceived losses as a result of wrongdoing reports, auditors with any value system, have a lower tendency to whistle blowing.
