Reading “The Moral Mind” brings up the issue of what is right and what is wrong and why people do the things they do. Some people follow all of “Societies’’ rules while other thrive on breaking them. “Societies” is in quotes, because there are different societies around the world, and what is wrong some place may be acceptable in another. I feel that this can be connected to my service learning, because at County Community you can see kids who have mad bad mistakes and broke societies rules and therefore are in a different school from most their peers and have a target on their back that says I have done something wrong, so watch out for me. This brings up the big questions of why do these kids make, “ Poor…sometimes dangerous…moral choices.” This is a question anyone can answer, but it is also a question where we may never know the answer. I believe that it has to do with the family and background the kids are raised in, but their also has to be more than that, because some kids with tough backgrounds turn out great, and others with good family backgrounds have a tough time at that age. The kids at County Community have a tough road to battle ahead of them to get the “target” off their back, but many of the kids I’m working with are trying and succeeding at that. Others are having a tougher time and again the question of why don’t they just do their work comes up and the answer is still left blank.
