  1. Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.Where there is hatred, let me sow love;where there is injury, pardon;where there is doubt, faith;where there is despair, hope;where there is darkness, light;and where there is sadness, joy.O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seekto be consoled as to console;to be understood as to understand;to be loved as to love.For it is in giving that we receive;it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

  2. Today’s Checklist • Reading & reflection • Test format • Take up Just War Theory practice • Just War Theory wrap-up • Tomorrow: Review • Wednesday: Test • Thursday: ½ period in library for research

  3. Bullying is violence, too • Remember that violence is emotional and psychological, not just physical • Bullying (of all kinds) is violent in essence – the intent is to harm • What’s going on? • The Pledge to End Bullying & The Acoustic Opera

  4. Test format • True/False 5 • Terminology 8 (6 terms, choose 4; 2 marks each) C. Scenarios & principles of social justice 9 (3 scenarios; 3 marks each) D. Making connections 15 Make connections between a graphic text and the concepts that you have studied

  5. Just War Theory Before we resort to violence… Write this down Diplomacy countries meet in a neutral location; i.e. UN headquarters, and attempt to solve conflict peacefully Trade embargo/economic sanctions a group of countrieswithhold vital goods and services to force the offending country to comply with the general will.

  6. Just War Theory - Extension • Listen to this Just War Theory Discussion – what extension does the speaker believe the theory needs to consider? • Where might this be applicable in the world today?

  7. The Bible on Peace and Violence • Doesn’t the Bible say, “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”? • Jesus himself repudiated this saying • Jesus taught, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.” - Mt 5:38-39)

  8. Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi • Read the prayer • Complete the group activity on the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

  9. Preparation • Not just Topsy the Elephant, but a rather long series of animals, all of which had shown themselves to be a danger to humans. This included horses, lions, tigers, and bears. Edison was happy to oblige the state of NY in executing these “menaces to society,” by employing alternating current, but his ulterior motive was merely to show the world the danger of alternating current, invented by Nikola Tesla, his arch-rival. Edison’s direct current didn’t have the strength to electrocute an elephant, and he considered it safer. • So, on January 4, 1903, at Luna Park Zoo, Coney Island, Topsy was hooked up to Edison’s lighting plant, and electrocuted with 6,600 volts of AC.

  10. But this was after they fed her carrots that had been soaked in cyanide, just to be sure. They deemed Topsy to be a permanent threat to humans, as she had killed three handlers in three incidents, one of which involved a handler, who regularly whipped her, trying to feed her a lighted cigarette just to watch her suffer. She stomped on him. • 1,500 people watched, and no one said a word in complaint. Edison filmed it, and the film is available on YouTube, if you feel like being outraged. The funny thing is that the ASPCA, which is supposed to protect the rights of animals, considered hanging to be cruel, as it would cause strangulation, not a snap of the neck, and yet had no problem with cyanide poisoning and electrocution.

  11. Practice • Relate this scenario to… • at least fiveconcepts that you have studied in this unit • at least oneconcept from a previous unit (1. Called to Be Church and 2. Called to Be and Relate) • Explain the connection that you have made
