Read the article. Discuss in class. This fictional character lives by an ethical code and sticks to it, even when it's not convenient, even when no one would know if he didn't. See if you can identify his code (in your head, what is his "mission statement", his "principles", and his "action steps") After reading, sum up (a ¶ or two) WHY he was important. What lesson WE can take from his example and apply to our own lives?

How to Hate : (this article is SATIRE, laden with irony and addresses a serious matter via sarcastic humor) Read the article and ID an real-world example of when/where/who utilizes this "step" or method of spreading hate.

How to Think: This article addresses the failures of critical thinking that we fall into when we insist that our perspective is the only "right" way to think. Using the examples of hate-think you listed from the prior article, identify which failure in the critical think process allowed for the hate think? What is innate egocentrism (It's true because I've always believed it's true) OR.....? |
