"Over the course of this term, we've looked a lot at your personal moral stance on things. Today we're going to be looking more generally - on how morals are taught to children, often insidiously.

"A good medium for this is fairy tales. Every culture has them - stories that are told to children, bearing little moral gems to shape and guide. The first thing I want you to do is a select a fairy tale. Don't worry if it's not one I'll know, just pick one you're familiar with."

"...Stage five, I guess? Stage six sounds a little loftier than where I was heading, and I'm not sure if I really want to go there, either. I get thinking about how things will affect other people, but not so much with the abstract -- some things are gut instinct, or should be."

Xander thinks for a minute, then adds to the bottom of his paper,

"That thing from last week where we were supposed to pick something we don't like in ourselves and try changing it? I think I picked the wrong thing, since it was 'tell people I like what I'm really thinking, instead of bullshitting with a joke' -- because I didn't end up seeing any of the people who would've put it to the test. Might try it out when I go home for Christmas break, though."
