The image I chose is of 3 signs pointing all in different directions. This relates to morality and conscience because only you can decide the path you take whether, its right, wrong or it depends; remember that not deciding is still deciding.

Relationship between Morality and Conscience

Relationship

  • Having a conscience allows a person to make a moral or immoral decision. Morality is the goodness or sinfulness in human action. Therefore, your conscience gives you the ability to determine what's right and wrong. It also serves as a process of discernment and final judgement in making a good or moral choice or not.

Key Points

• HERO

○ Mr. Rogers could be considered a hero because he wanted to let every child know that they were loved just the way they are in a world where everyone was not a fan of his views/kindness in the community (aka his neighborhood).

○ My mom is my personal hero because she does everything she can so I have my life together. My mom overcomes difficulties every day in her schedule of juggling the struggles of work, driving me to after school activities, and making sure I'm on top of all my work at school and at home. She makes sacrifices for me and my family every day and I'm so thankful that she is my hero.

Descriptions of Conscience

Conscience

○ Explain the three ways that conscience is sometimes understood in popular culture.

  • An Inner Voice -
  • Jimmy Cricket (having a voice to help you make a decision)
  • Our Upbringing
  • People who shape your early life in developing your sense of right and wrong
  • A Feeling
  • Having a guilty conscience and a clear conscience

- Continuous -

○ Why are all three insufficient to express all that conscience involves?

§ Because sometimes conscience isn't just right and wrong, it's deciding what you feel is best in that specific situation and it's hard to define since everyone has their unique conscience.

o Psalm 119: 41-48 – How does it describe the formation of the author’s conscience? What words/phrase stand out and why?

○ It describes the formation of the author's conscience as one that is often taunted by wrongs but he is determined obedient to God. When it says, "I will always obey your law, for ever and ever." (Psalm 119:43), it stood out to me because even though other things will taunt him to do wrong, he is sure that he will still follow God and reach for his commands.

My Moral Dilemma

Moral Dilemma

You and your friends go shopping at the Towson mall on a Sunday afternoon. You are all having a great time and your friends, Shannon and Jamie, suggest that you should all go into the Apple Store to check out the new technology available. As soon as you walk in, Shannon gravitates to some new Air Pods left out on the counter, where one of the employees were formally assisting a costumer with. Shannon thinks it's funny to sneak around the counter and slip the box of brand new Air Pods into her purse as a joke. You know what they did is wrong but you think to yourself that they're your friends and you don't want to make a big deal. A few seconds later, Jamie follows Shannon's example by going to the counter and grabbing a bunch of expensive ear buds. You stand there observing speechlessly. They both laugh as they walk back to you claiming that it was so easy to take those. You feel uneasy and choose to speak up to Shannon. She claims that if anyone is told about this that she will befriend you. However, Jamie just claims that you saw nothing and how she didn't know it wasn't okay because her and Shannon always do those kind of things. You decide to stay quiet about it, but constantly question your decision to NOT decide.

Explanation of Moral Dilemma

  • I feel like a lot of students my age choose not to decide because in many situations today, it's too hard to decide and staying quiet is how most teens/students feel safer. My moral dilemma represents this as a bad thing containing mainly the dimensions of an erroneous and lax conscience.
  • Shannon displays a lax conscience for carelessly stealing all the time and setting a bad example for her friends
  • Jamie displays a erroneous conscience because she's not sure of what she's doing and is just constantly following the wrong decisions of her friends
