After reading Chapters 3 & 4, answer the following questions in complete sentences! Your responses should be at least 5-8 sentences in length.

Chapter 3

“The world feels high lonesome and heartbroken to me right now. We’ve sorted ourselves into factions based on our politics and ideology. We’ve turned away from one another and toward blame and rage. We’re lonely and untethered. And scared. So damn scared.”

Are we teaching and modeling sorting and closed-mindedness? Or, is our family culture built on clearly knowing our own values while staying curious and open to the opinions of others?

Are we teaching our family/friends/collegues the power of inextricable human connection – the belief that we are all connected to each other by something greater than us and something rooted in love and compassion?

Chapter 4

1. In your family/work/school environments, what is taught and modeled about the importance of boundaries when it comes to how people talk about each other? Do people “walk the talk” consistently?

2. What are we practicing and/or modeling in our families/work environments when it comes to dehumanizing behaviors? Have we drawn a line that can’t be crossed when it comes to how we talk about people? Have we taught and modeled the importance of boundaries when it comes to how people talk abocixut us and how we talk about others?
