  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature
    Father Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?

    Food
    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

    People in richer countries eat more meat since they generally have more money to put towards food. In doing this we are depleting our resources faster than they can recover.

    Kathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How can we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?

    Gratitude and just appreciating what you have I do believe leads to a sense of moral obligation since we are responsible for taking care of what we have since some aren’t as fortunate.
