For individuals who complete the Value Sort using one of our online versions (https://www.thegoodproject.org/value-sort), this handout provides a series of questions to use for reflection.
Make a Choice
Choose a dilemma from our dilemmas database and respond to it using three different ethical frameworks, one based on what is best for the rights of all, one that is based on the rights for the most people, and one that is based on what is best to help you be the best version of you. The activity is based on the normative ethical theories of deontology, utilitariniasm, and virtue ethics.
Group Brainstorm: Identifying Mission
Divided into pairs or small groups, discuss the values most important to your class or organization. Identify your mission as a whole, using the prompts provided in the worksheet. Write down notes or ideas. After you and your group have finished identifying your mission, is there someone you know that exemplifies your mission?
School Mission
Write down your school’s mission (if your school does not have one, what do you think it should be?). Then, think about what values are important to your school.
Consider a Value
This activity concentrates on a value of your choice that you’d like to spend more time considering. Find an example of an individual or a type of work which exemplifies your chosen value, and then describe how your value is articulated in your example.
