Cartoon about ethics and politics.

Is very difficult to belong to politics and still be faithful to the golden rules.
work with the following exercises:

1. What message is the cartoonist trying to convey? Why does politics appear on a door and ethics on a trashbin?

2. What is your opinion about this message?

3. What is your opinion about the relationship between ethics and politics?

 In the picture: at the door puts career in politics and ethics in the trash

We interpret this as if your entering a political career to study would not have in mind the golden rules so you would have to leave the trash.

Cartoon about Golden Rule: Calvin and Hobbes

In this session, we work with activities on the Golden Rule. The questions are :
1. Briefly summerize the cartoon strip
2. Explain the meaning of hobbes quote (the tiger) in the second to last drawing
3. What's the relationship between the cartoon story and the Golden Rule
4. What philosopher said this famous sentence: ''the ends justify the means''. Look information about him.
5. Who were the real ''Calvin'' and ''Hobbes''. Look about them.

The most important question for us is 3. His solution is ''the boy say that the quote is only for him, and not for everyone. So it can not be, because one important rule is equality for all
