Pre-Game Blog

Thanks for the great summary, Post-Gamers!

Here are some ideas we'd like to invite you all to explore for the coming week:

Why does it seem societies treat different age groups differently?
Why does it seem the loss of childlike innocence leads to the making of poor choices as adults?
As others get older and begin to understand right from wrong, do we - should we - hold them to a higher standard?


How do we know when an action is worth of punishment?
How much punishment is enough?
Should we stop if the offender feels remorse?
Whose responsibility is it to intervene? Why?

Who creates the norms of society?
Why we allow them this final say?
Should different groups be subject to different moral code?
How do we decide who is worthy of our love?
Why do we make these classifications?
Why must some suffer for the actions of others?
What does this say about a society that allows this behavior?

Does the sacrifice of one's own happiness ever create a better environment for the many?
Is it ever morally acceptable to put a price of a human being's life?

Why do we seem to value statistics and the greater good instinctively, but find it upsetting when these situations are put in front of us?
Why does the "out of sight, out of mind mentality" make peace of mind come easier than facing the situation?
Why do some choose to stay uninformed? Why do some do nothing even when informed?
Why does the price of morality come from the suffering of others? Why, only after we are outraged, do we act?
How can mankind be capable of such horrendous behavior and still judge others?

What happens if our "duty to our fellow man" proves to be more than we are capable of delivering?
Why do we allow ourselves to feel guilt - even if we can get away with what we've done?
Is a situation ever really helpless?


Enjoy! And Have a Great Week!
