CHARACTER
PLUS…February – Humanity – Week #2
FOCUS: Humanity
THOUGHT OF THE MONTH: The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of
comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and
controversy.
DEFINITION: Humanity is believing that people of different cultures, abilities,
religions, sexes, and races are equally valuable members of our society.
DESCRIPTION: A humanitarian is a person who has concern for the welfare of
mankind. A humanitarian actively works to
improve conditions for all people because a humanitarian accepts all people as
worthy individuals. Each person is
different; one student may dress in jeans, another in shorts; one student may
speak English and another Chinese; one student may like to read and another may
like sports. These differences make
mankind interesting. If each person
learns about the beliefs and customs of others, his or her life will be
enriched. To show humanity then, a
person should not judge others harshly because they are different.
Disagreeing with someone is
acceptable but a person should not criticize or hold a grudge against an
individual because he or she looks, thinks or acts in a foreign manner. Instead, to show humanity, a person should
be kind, considerate, a good citizen, interested, understanding and helpful.
THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: Democracy means not, “I am equal to you,” but “you are equal to me.” --
Unknown
TOPIC: Cultural diversity.
SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES:
1. Allow
students the opportunity to share their ethnic make-up.
2. Encourage
students to participate in National Black History Month celebrations in the St.
Louis Metro Area.
3. Encourage
students to support National Black History Month activities in the school.
