Assignment: Reflection Journal

reflection journal There are many situations in our lives that are governed by laws – civil laws, criminal laws, religious laws – yet we are often faced with situations that are not explicitly covered by these laws. These situations can fall into moral "gray areas" where it is hard to figure out right from wrong.

Please think about and answer the following questions:

Can we do whatever we want in these situations? Do we have any rules or guidelines to help us make these decisions? Are there black and white answers, or can it depend on the person or situation? Why be ethical at all if the laws seem to say we can do what we want in these gray areas?

 

 

 

 

Assignment: Bumper sticker inspiration discussion

Think about ideas in your life that inspire you to be a better person. Sometimes there is a certain phrase that captures how we feel, that can be part of a song or song title, a poem, a Scriptural pasuk, a saying from your Grandmother, or even a bumper sticker that you've see.

Introduce yourself to the group. Write a song title or bumper sticker of your own that captures your slogan to be a better person. You can either quote something you've heard or seen before, or write your own.
