It is a voice that calls us to love and to do what is good and to avoid evil. Identity: The distinguishing character of a person. My identity is determined in large part by the moral stance that I take in life. Superego: The ego of another superimposed on our own to serve as an internal censor to regulate our conduct by using guilt as its powerful weapon. Trinity: The central mystery of the Christian faith and of Christian life. God alone can make it known to us by revealing himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Narcissism: A disorder marked by self-absorption to the exclusion of others. Secularism: separates religion from other realms of human existence Character: The way your actions over time tend to become fixed in your body. Moral Stance: My moral orientation or direction in life; what I “stand for” Key Questions/Ideas: 1. Know key points for each of the 6 aspects of the human person 1. The Importance of Others (pg. 41) We are relational beings; we need one another to be whole (opposite of Western mentality) The other is central to your search for the good. Avoid narcissism-self love to the exclusion of others Need to find a healthy balance between self love and love for others 2. The Importance of Having a Direction in Life (pg. 44) Your identity is tied to your moral stance This reveals your direction in life because you know what you stand for Gives it meaning Humanism: a worldview centered on human interest and values. The individual’s capacity for self-realization through reason and action. Humanists generally reject reference to the divine. Secularism: a worldview that rejects religion and religious considerations. Secularists accept only critical reasons. 3. The Importance of Communication and Language (pg. 46) We discover who we are in discussions with others who we share language with Living in a culture, and adopting its communication styles, shapes your identity Language we use within a Catholic community shapes our place in the world EX. What do you mean when you say to someone, “I am a Catholic?” share common experiences and commitments with others. You share a common language (ex: Trinity, Eucharist, Liturgy) and common values. 4. The Importance of Character and One's Body (pg. 49) Physical body expresses our human qualities and traits “Moral fiber” is something like muscle fiber - the more you exercise it, the stronger your character. Character & moral decision making is developed from repetition; this creates habits The choices you make day after day are often the product of what you believe and value, and the habits you have formed over the years (reputation 5. The Importance of Conscience (pg. 51) It is the Law written in human hearts by God; How we hear Him about Love, Good & Evil Present when we want to do good; not feel we have to Experience it in 3 ways: Conscience as a capacity to recognize right from wrong Conscience as a process of moral reasoning Conscience as a judgment 6. The Importance of the Development of One's Conscience (pg. 56) Conscience as a capacity to recognize right from wrong….for knowing and doing what is good, and avoiding what is evil Defines the identity of the individual All people in all cultures have a general awareness that some things right and some are wrong 2. Symptoms of a misinformed conscience Rationalization Trivialization Misinformation The end justifies the immoral means, Means to an end Difficult to Reason. Ex: trivialization: it’s no big deal; everyone else does it. Rationalization: This is when you come up with excuses for doing something wrong. Instead of acknowledging that your action is bad, you convince yourself it’s okay. For example, you might say, “Everyone else is doing it, so it can’t be that bad.” Trivialization: This means downplaying the importance of a moral choice. You tell yourself that it’s not a big deal, even if it is. For instance, if you cheat on a test, you might think, “It’s just one test; it doesn’t really matter.” Misinformation: This occurs when you have wrong or misleading information about what is right or wrong. If you believe something is okay because you heard it from an unreliable source, that’s misinformation. For example, thinking that cheating is acceptable because "everyone does it" is a form of misinformation. The End Justifies the Means: This idea suggests that if the outcome is good, it’s okay to do something wrong to get there. For instance, if someone thinks it's acceptable to lie to help a friend, they’re justifying their action based on the desired outcome. Means to an End: Similar to the previous point, this is when you see moral choices as tools to achieve a goal. You might overlook how your actions affect others as long as you get what you want. 3.
