In On the Water Front the characters all disagree on what they think a traitor and what a whistleblower is. Terry (the main character) thinks that being a traitor is a bad thing, that your "ratting" out your friends in the beginning of the movie, but when it came to Idy and Idy's brother died he starts to change his mind about the definition about a traitor. Terry does the right thing and tells on Johnny Friendly and is true to himself. He risked his life, job, friends, and everything just to do the right thing.
I personally think that its ok to be a tattle tale when it comes to life or death like Terry in On the Water Front. I believe that he did the right thing because someone died because of him and he should feel bad for what he did. I believe that its ok to speak your believes because everyone is entitled a opinion, whether one agrees or not is not the issue.

I would say that being a traitor is a bad thing. However, being a whistle blower is a good thing. Terry at first believes that being a whistle blower is a bad thing. Everyone believes that a traitor is unacceptable.
