Ethics, Tuesday, September 3, 2024
"Welcome to Ethics class," Anakin said, sweeping in with his cloak fluttering around his booted legs. "I see a few familiar faces."
"And a few new students," Ahsoka added, nodding at the class. "In this class we're going to be taking something of a practical approach. Ideals don't really mean anything if you don't at least attempt to live up to them."
"Sometimes those ideals crumble faster than you think they will," Anakin said, "and sometimes other people don't live up to your expectations."
Not that either of those statements applied to anyone in this room.
"As an example, we'll start off with introductions and a game of two truths and a lie," Ahsoka said. "After all, lying is generally considered unethical."
"But it's also one of the first ideals to get stretched," Anakin said. "Every child will lie to attempt to get out of taking responsibility for an error."
"Then you get the grown adults who claim that the truth all depends on a certain point of view." Again, not a statement that applied to anyone in this classroom. At all.
Anakin laughed. ."Well, sometimes it does. Not always, though. So for today's introductory exercise, we will do two truths and a lie."
