Responsibility: Payoffs of Making The Right Choices

in Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, Secondary Schools / by Gene Bedley
March 5, 2013

1. Evidence tells us we cannot drill a hole in our section of the boat because it would effect others in the boat. All our choices impact not only ourselves but those around us. If I said yes to drugs what impact

would that have on me, my family and my neighbors or friends?

2. In order to achieve something it takes time and commitment. If I take an ethical shortcut I maybe hurt. What are some possible consequences for copying another students work and claiming it as my own?

3. By making responsible choices means I relinquish the alternatives. When a referee is not available and I’m involved playing a game I chose to follow the rules and cite my own fouls by acknowledging my violations. What happens if everyone except one person chooses the same response and admits

it to others when they break a rule?

4. What would you do if one of the cashiers in a market gave you more money than you should have received in change?

5. Are there any negative consequences for being totally truthful? Can you hurt people with your honesty and wouldn’t a policy improve if we spoke the truth with compassion? (To heal or help)
