Part 1

Search for a current (no more than two months old) news story (article, other piece of writing, or video clip) that demonstrates a moral or ethical dilemma.

Explain the ethical dilemma in your own words and explain whether or not the story relates to an ethical theory or code include a link to the news story or event (article, other piece of writing, or video clip). In addition to sharing the link, you need to show a clear connection between the news story/event and the module material in a post of at least 150 words.

Part 2

A) Decide on a story/parable/fable which influenced your ethical/moral growth as a child. Briefly describe the story and what it taught you. How does your thinking today fit with what you learned as a child through that story? This component should be about 250 words.

(B) Decide on an ethical principle you would like your children to take to heart as you did with your childhood ethical story. Write a short story/fable/parable/fairy tale (about 300-400 words) that teaches this ethical lesson in a dramatic way. Want examples? Consider Bible stories or parables. Google Aesop's Fables. Look up Grimm's Fairy Tales. Look at any Chicken Soup for the ... book. Note: This must be a made-up story, no real life stories! Use your creativity. You'll have fun and come up with a great story.
