Chapter 3: Right and wrong
Section 1: Introduction
If we talk about right and wrong, we talk about behaviour.
Q: - Is this true? Investigate whether we always talk about behaviour if we talk
about right and wrong. Write your opinion in your notebook and explain your
opinion.
Behaviour can be divided in:
- Right behaviour
- Wrong behaviour
- Neutral behaviour.
Q: - Why are questions about right and wrong important?
- Give two examples of right behaviour?
- Give two examples of wrong behaviour?
- Give two examples of neutral behaviour?
Section 2: Norms and values
A norm is a rule. When people live together there are rules. Rules can be written, like
laws made by a government or a school statute. Rules also can be unwritten, like
good manners.
Q: - Is this true? Investigate whether there always are rules when people live
together. Write your opinion in your notebook and explain your opinion.
- Who does create rules? Make up a list of those who do.
- Give of each creator in your list an example of a created rule.
People don’t keep rules if they think a rule are useless. Whether rules are seen as
useful or useless is a personal issue.
Q: - Give an example of a useful rule in your opinion. Explain why you think this
rule is useful.
- Give an example of a useless rule in your opinion. Explain why you think this
rule in useless.
