10.22 - Decisions, Decisions

In Class

• We discussed the difficult issues of what happens when some laws seem to contradict others such as in the same-sex marriage and discrimination debates.
• We discussed the issues surrounding having weaker government structures and confusion that can arise when certain aspects of government are not easy to access.
• We researched the upcoming elections for MSB School Board

Considerations

• Remember that people will always have areas of fundamental interest that may be in conflict with others. As citizens, we have to consider many differing opinions and also be willing to see them as valid, even if we disagree. It does not mean we need to agree, but that we should be willing to both listen and do so with the intention to understand rather than just prepare a reply. If, after finding we cannot come to an agreement, we must still figure out civil ways to exist together, without having to compromise.

Homework

• Complete School Board Candidates in Canvas
  • Remember that you need to find out what district you live in and if you are voting this time. If you have already submitted, just reply to yourself with the parts you need to finalize for your full points.
