2) Empathy? What is it?
3) A Spectrum or a false dichotomy? Altruism to Hedonism... where do you fit in? Faith in absolute rights and wrongs OR nothing is purely right/wrong...
4) What about the world?
2 questions: How many TV's does the average home have? What does the average kid eat for dinner?
What is international mindedness? http://www.jamesmollison.com/wherechildrensleep.php?project_id=6&p=synop
Flags presentation:
International quiz (silent) - What happened in Egypt recently? Libya? Where is there a massive shortage of food at the moment? What is happening on Wall Street? Where are Canadian troops currently stationed?
5) How do you become more empathic? More aware?
Leaving self behind. The authentic self - "If you really knew me... you would know..."
6) Journal Topics: CHOICE - What do you think about the state of the world today? Do you see your place in the world? Do you have worries about the world you are moving into? Are you aware of the world you are moving in to? OR Why is compassion/empathy important? Do you see compassion in your world? Can we learn to be empathic? How are you empathic? Tell a story of empathy in action.
