The principal focus of this course is on developing an understanding of choices
in daily life. Choices are broken down into two categories, and a nine-step
procedure is taught to assist in the decision-making process. The class explores
current events in the local and global communities to study social issues
concerning our society. Additionally, students examine the causes and signs of
violence to help make better choices in their own relationships. Through the
study of the Nobel Peace Prize winners, students learn how individuals who
strive to make good choices can impact the human race.
