How do we become who we are? There s always a story. 76

people places actions events what s done to you by you for you what you do what you don t what you won t 77

people places actions events what s done to you by you for you what you do what you don t what you won t 78

Hasn t history taught us that every person has rights and must be treated with respect? Aren t there things you just can t do to anyone? 79Every person has rights.

Can you do anything to people? isn t there a limit? 80Every person has rights.

Where does it end? or does it? 81Every person has rights.

Doesn t justice require we consider how our decisions and actions will affect ourselves, others and the planet? 82

Doesn t that especially mean the rights of those smaller and less able to protect their own rights? 83

What do you do? We see it coming. Some things you just don t do. Its like an oncoming train and we see it. 84

Sometimes we just see the lights - instead of the train - and we don t get out of the way. 85

Justice is virtue entire. It means to help not hurt. Stop yourself. Get out of the way of doing harm. Stop yourself. 86

Respect is the restraint side of morality. It is what you don t do or say to avoid the harm it would do. Stop yourself. 87

we share the world we are not alone what we do impacts ourselves other people the planet 88

Respect Requires Restraint not there There are things I can not do or say. 89

Justice Requires Restraint There are things I can not do or say to myself, any other person, or the planet. 90 not do, not say

There are things I can not do to myself. 91 There are things I can not do to myself. not to myself

92 There are things I can not do to others. not to others

93 There are things we can not do to our planet There are things we can not do to our planet not to the planet

The decisions I make must respect the rights of all. 94 decisions, rights

The actions I take must respect the rights of all. 95 actions, rights

Justice demands I not say or do some things. 96 justice demands

Stop yourself. Get out of the way of doing harm. 97 stop yourself

It means to help not hurt. 98 help not hurt

The world depends on it. 99

Compassion and Courage for the Journey compassion is a verb: you have to do something 100

Compassion and Courage for the Journey compassion is not an emotion: no points for just feeling something 101

Compassion and Courage for the Journey the journey from empathy to action 102

Compassion and Courage for the Journey Courage is risk for a reason 103

not risk for a thrill 104

not risk for a thrill 105

thrill danger risk power posture strength win force fight 106

not just for the thrill of it 107

courage requires I moderate my impulses 108

courage requires I moderate my emotions 109

leads me to consider the heroic journey in which people Courage 110

live for purposes bigger than themselves 111

and their wants and needs 112

home in the ordinary world the journey begins 113

114 the call to adventure comes

but the call is often rejected - we are reluctant heroes 115

the heroic journey begins on an often tristed and curving road 116

an often scary road where we confront what we most dread 117

but we confront it and with companions move on and prove ourselves 118

heroic 119

but what did you learn? did you change? 120

121

122 but what do you do when you get home? compassion leads to fortitude: living for a goal regardless of the emotions or obstacles in the way

123

The journey to integrity comes with many bumps in the road. How can we get there? 124

Who has helped? Who can help? Values. Thoughts. Skills. 125

Sooner than we can believe. Sooner than we may be ready we are off on their own. Making choices. Taking action. Moving in directions. As we move from infants to individuals - as we move to becoming independent individuals we face the 126 many choices.

Integrity requires that the way I live my life is whole, entire, undivided, sound, coherent and principled. Integrity moves me to do difficult and new things not just easy and accustomed things. 127

responsibility respect integrity courage moderation effort 128

fun avoid boredom friends popularity success thrill stuff 129

How does media affect core values and moral development? The basics are the interplay between characters, actions, consequences, thoughts and feelings. 130

We all learn to solve problems, meet needs and become motivated by what we find in media, as well as role models and lived experience. 131

In any story, the main characters have problems that they solve or don t solve, needs that are met or unmet, and motivations that end up being functional or not functional. 132

TV, video games and movies provide video and audio images powerfully and at high speed. Radio is audio embedded with text. 133 And the computer?

We can influence poorly or well: villains and heroes evil and good instrumental emotion and real emotion getting away and paying the price vicarious learning: as if you were there 134

Utilize the potential for vicarious learning in media you have to be there discussion is the tool dangers altered reality dead for a while? discontinuity high status villains easy success magical thinking 135

Who are some high status villains that your kids are attracted to that concern you? 136

What we look for worthy heroes or clearly unworthy villains virtuous lives or the costs of vice heroic journeys or the real journeys and struggle 137

What we look for inspiration good problem solving or the costs of poor problem solving learning from life or the costs of not learning 138

What we look for learning from mistakes or the costs of continuing to make them 139

What we avoid violence, cruelty, unreal death, unreal pain gratuitous sex, profanity distorted thinking: mollification, discontinuity, super optimism 140

How do we facilitate this discussion? problems: solve or don t needs:met or unmet motivations: what end 141

How does your kids think the world works? 142

Will your kids be ready for the world they will be living in? 143

If we were at our best, 144what would we be like?

the best is yet to come 145
