Morality.
I collected the logical fallacies homework. We looked at this comic strip to introduce the idea of morality. (If you look through his other comics, you might find that some have adult language. So, don't look through the comics unless you are an adult or have the approval of your legal guardian).
We listened to a segment of an episode of Radiolab (one of the best things ever!!) about morality.
(Here is the video of the gorilla saving the boy that was mentioned in the Radiolab episode.)Then I explained the homework:
You are faced with many moral dilemmas each day. Choose two that you have faced recently and
write about them: explain the context, what you felt your options were, and what you chose to do.
Now that you are looking back on it and thinking more logically and less emotionally, do you see any
other way you could have acted? What would have been the “morally correct” thing to do?
THIS ASSIGNMENT SHOULD BE TYPED AND EITHER EMAILED TO ME OR PRINTED AND BROUGHT TO CLASS next week.
