Please make a copy of this padlet. Then, for your group's value, please complete the padlet with your own specific details. Leave the title to each post, and follow the directions in each box--make sure that your responses are SPECIFIC (see example below)!

(i.e. "fall" is laziness, "specific behaviors"-cheating on assignments, "harm"-laziness hinders critical thinking and an informed citizenship is important, "issues"-reliance on technology to do our thinking

#1--Original Value

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

Empathy

The ability to understand and share feelings with others.

#2--The "Fall" from this value

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

Emotional burnout. Having empathy towards others could has a slight negative impact on you, if you use all your energy and empathy. It can lead to social tiredness.

How do our actions today create problems? How do Americans' behavior(s) illustrates a departure from your chosen value?

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

Discrimination, environmental issues (climate change, global warming). People seem to have self-centered based actions, they treat others who may come from a completely different background, different. That shouldn’t be happening.

What issues or conflicts that we face today are a result of departing from this value?

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

Refer to specific issues or conflict (in the news) that illustrate behaviors challenging the foundational value and discuss the HARM that these issue cause.

Why should we fix these conflicts/issues?

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

In our world today, we need more empathy. There are to many people making self-centered decisions, that could hurt our world. We should fix these because we want to live in a good country, were people fight for each other, understand what life is like from other peoples shoes. We should stop using social media to feed our knowledge of world issues. People should start focusing more on the issues than what is presented on social media.

Where does this value come from? What (old) cultural texts make reference to this idea?

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

The women’s suffrage movement. Lots of women supported, and were active participants in movements, and those women agreed the world needed to change and give equal rights and allow them to vote too. People started to realize that women should be treated just as equally to men. And that women are very powerful :).

Another movement was the abolishment of slavery,

After a while of black people being put into slavery, the public and people started to feel that humans shouldn’t be treated this way, regardless of race or skin color. So people started to support the abolishment of slavery, until i did. The people worked, walked, tried very hard to get slavery abolished and have those people have the same rights as everyone else.

How have we practiced this value (in action), historically.

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

Throughout segregation more and more people felt that what was happening to the certain minority, was wrong. And felt to fight back and win those rights and equality for those who didn’t have it. They fought and fought. They didn’t stop fighting for those who needed it.

Why has the value made our culture strong? Why is this value important?

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

This is an important value because it has made others think about how others may feel about an opposing topic or a movement that may mean more to some more than others. But when our country feels empathy, we stand with those people who feel that way, and we stand with them strong. We help them fight for what they believe in

#3--Individual Action to Restore Value

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

Continuing to fight for what you want in our world, to fight for rights, etc. To continuing to advocate for yourself when your treated wrong, because everyone deserves the same rights and the good/protection rights.

#4--America Re-envisioned

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

More social connections- to help make change, having a wider social connection can help.

New work and education environments-

Empathy can help promote social equality, and inclusion, becoming more respectful with others around them.

What are the specific beneficial outcomes of changing our behavior?

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

Speaking out against discrimination- understanding that racial slurs shouldn’t be said, and are mean. Fighting against discrimination, and helping those feel equality

Personal reflection- thinking before acting, and asking yourself. “How will this not just impact ME but OTHERS too”

Why is this change necessary/good?

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

How will our culture generally benefit from this change?

How will our new future "echo" our traditional value?

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

In what ways will this new future be similar to the value in its original form?

What specific Behavior changes must we make?

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

We can find a movement that we believe in and walk with those people to fight for what they want our world to be, and how we want to be treated

Why are these behavior changes necessary?

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

Because in 2025, there’s a lot. There’s a lot of agruements on what is right for our country, and it’s causing a lot of controversy. This behaviors are necessary, because you should fight for what you believe in, and the rights you think people should get.

How can this behavior adjustment create positive change?

eschulman6366 — 2025-02-04 20:44:06 UTC

The more people supporting that change can help get more votes to change. And the movement itself can feel empowering and leads to real good improvements on the country
