Antigone - Day 2

Our focus for today was on values and priorities, as well as when they come into conflict.

  • In personal writing you noted your own values and priorities, some of the sources of them, and an example of a time when two or more values came into conflict with each other.

Here is an example of a recent story about values coming into conflict: Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk, refused to authorize marriage certificates for gay or lesbian couples because it went against her religious values, even though the Supreme Court recently said these marriages were legal.


Ultimately we will bridge this question back to the play, to discuss the different ways in which those characters both experience and cope with conflicting values.
