The Greater Good

I.                    How are the other specialty programs websites set up?

James River Leadership web site is not bad looking. http://web.me.com/sarah_mansfield/Leadership/Welcome.html  However it hasn’t been updated in a year. All the capstone projects are last years. All the pictures are last years.

Monacan High School has the center of Humanities.  http://chesterfield.k12.va.us/Schools/Monacan_HS/Human/humanities_center/index.html Their website is also not bad looking. One thing they have that our site doesn’t is this year’s calendar.  However there’s a lot on the website so it a lot of reading, almost too much reading.

Clover hill’s math and science center.

Their website seemed very confusing and not very attractive but one thing they had that I liked was a link to their monthly newsletter which I think we could use.

II.                  This week in class we talked about the greater good. What my group definition of the greater good was doing what’s best for the most people. As a class we talked about how do we decided what is for the greater good. Can anyone really know the right answer to that question? We also talked about some examples of doing something we considered for the greater good.

An example I consider doing the greater good is soldiers fighting in the war. They risk their lives to save the millions in America. They decide that their one life is worth giving up if it saves millions of others lives. That’s why they’re heroes.

The greatest good is a tricky subject. Many movies show how one person’s idea of the greatest good may not be the same as another’s.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUpbOliTHJY . It’s hard to decide when actions are for the greater good.

III.                    Who is known most for doing the greatest good?
