Document Summary
Sessions missed must submit a word document with notes/summary over the whole session. Discussing differing beliefs, oppressions, ideologues, prejudices existence, values, knowledge. Human nature is to be sel sh and protect/nurture those closest to us. This sel shness is not necessarily bad but it is similar to charles darwin"s. Survival of the fitness model, as humans we have to do what we need to in order to survive and prosper. When we put others rst, life around begins to fail. Fully aware of the things around us and able to take action. I feel that nothing in the world is necessarily certain, based on different cultures, religions, etc. knowledge and answers are given throughout these experiences and experiences with others. Throughout life this helps to develop our innate abilities and attitudes towards the world. Everything seems to be relative in values based on cultures or experiences. Always do something no matter the consequences right/wrong.
