THE LOTTERY-5TH PERIOD by Brodecki, Lisa https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2 In a well written response, reply to the following question: What would you do if you were in a situation where you had to choose between following a tradition/ritual vs. your morals which differ from the tradition/ritual? What would you do to take a stand against the tradition? RESPOND TO AT LEAST THREE PEERS to engage in dialogue! en-us 2021-10-22 15:20:11 UTC 2021-11-15 18:47:17 UTC hello@padlet.com Reese Merkel https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836777156 If I was in this situation I would follow my morals because it is what I believe in. Traditions are important but they can always change and if the tradition involves hurting people I would not be able to do that. I don’t believe in hurting people so I would go against the traditional despite what people think.  I would find people in the town who think the same thing as me and go against the tradition and try to convince others that it is wrong to kill people. ]]> 2021-10-22 16:43:17 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836777156 the lottery https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836781111 If i was in this situation i would tell people that we should take a one year break from the lottery and if the crops grow bad we will continue (which they wont) and if they grow like normal, we will stop the lottery in total. ]]> 2021-10-22 16:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836781111 https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836790129 If I was in the situation I would probably just not throw the rocks but I wouldn't say anything because we don't know how the families who draw get picked so I wouldn't want to risk anything. The second reason I wouldn't do anything is because in the story it was clearly shown that the villagers have no intention of changing.

I could turn down the system and possibly change the actions in the tradition. I would make the tradition a harmless one where instead of getting rocks thrown at you, eggs are thrown. ]]> 2021-10-22 16:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836793706 Wyatt Smalley https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836798336 If I was in this situation i would follow my morals. I would follow my morals because at the end of the day it is what is important to me. It goes back to the saying "would you jump off a bridge, if your friends tell you to".]]> 2021-10-22 16:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836798336 If I was in this situation I would follow my morals. tradition is important but not when its hurting people and not for the well being of everyone in the town. To stand against it I would refuse to throw a rock and try to convince as many people to do the same in hopes of dissolving the lottery. 20000482481 https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836801581 2021-10-22 16:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836801581 max shtyrbulov https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836806650 If I had to pick between my morals and traditions, I would first and foremost assess the group up against which I will be going. If it's people who don't care about what I do, then I would stick to my morals. But if it's just a bunch of crazies who are completely obsessed with traditions then I would probably just stick to tradition so that they wouldn't stone me or something like they did in the lottery.]]> 2021-10-22 16:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836806650 https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836810327 if i was in this situation i would try to convince people that this tradition doesnt affect anything except for peoples lives. instead i would try to  convince them that the person who gets selected recieves something as a gift or something along those lines

How I would stand against this is, I would form a group of people who feel the same about the tradition and protest.]]> 2021-10-22 17:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836813808 Jippe https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836826198 If i was in this situation i would fallow my morals becouse it was what i believe in.

It's risking my life, but I would rather have a chance to confront the crazy people than let people die for the sake of tradition. I would want people to have a sense of their mortality and understand that this isn't the best way to do a tradition. https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836838917 2021-10-22 17:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836838917 Matt Meyers. If I was in this situation I would propose to the town for everyone that disagrees to come and start a new town without the lottery, I would make sure to prove how the lottery isn't necessary and just a cruel tradition that needs to be abolished. https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836851804

No tradition could change my decision because my morals is what I live by and it would be disrespectful if I followed something that was not my moral.]]> 2021-10-22 17:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1836860641 Alexis: If I was in that situation I would try to get the entire town to realize that it was wrong by showing how each other felt about killing and the thought of death and how its not normal to kill. Even decades of killing each other someone has to feel something and by showing affection and remorse can hopefully get them to change. If that doesnt work you can form small groups to build force against one another and if it means alot to those people they will fight and make a town war and whoever wins wins. https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1841409286 2021-10-25 12:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1841409286 Emmett Schoeller https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1844769188 if I was in the situation I would listen to my heart and follow my morals.

Obviously the tradition wasn't working anymore and the crops still grew bad so why keep doing the tradition. ]]> 2021-11-04 00:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1866148779 Kanaan Carlyle https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1892032128 I think this is hard to say if you were actually in the situation and feeling all the peer pressure. I would like to think I would follow my morals and speak up against the Lottery tradition of a killing. I would also hope that people would gather together and speak up against this "tradition" and find a more positive one. ]]> 2021-11-15 18:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1892032128 Emily Frank https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1892098657 If I were in this situation I would take a stand against the tradition. I would stand up and try to stop it. I would try to keep the people from starting the vote or simply not show up to confuse the people and draw their attention away. I would then reroute them to a place where I can gather every persons attention and proceed to protest. Since it it a small town it should not be too hard. It would take a lot of time. And probably have to be discussed through legal issues, but I would do everything to make it stop. Or even devastate the crowd just enough to scare them into stopping. ]]> 2021-11-15 18:47:17 UTC https://padlet.com/brodeckil1/ku56quwjpwafb9s2/wish/1892098657
