Video: reView: Sign: Student Manual/Workbook, Page 14.
- 1) Where did Nick try to go? Did he succeed? Why or why not?
- - Although Nick tried to leave, he didn't succeed because he hadn't finished the test
- 2) What were the four questions on the test?
- - How did you get here?
- - Why are you here?
- - How do you choose?
- - What happens next?
- - NOTE: These are 'big questions' that everyone, in some way, answers in their life (whether consciously or unconsciously!)
- 3) Why didn’t the other students help him answer the questions?
- - He had to answer them for himself
- - Like each of us have to work through & answer these questions for ourselves--we cannot just copy someone else
- 4) Why was it important that he come back and sign his name on the test booklet?
- - He had to take ownership for his answers
- 5) Why are some of the big questions we ask in life?
- - Many answers for this could be given, this was actually the journal activity for today.
Video: reView: Ultimate Questions TS: Student Manual/Workbook, page 15.
- 1) What are the four ultimate questions?
- - Origins: Where did everything come from?
- - Meaning: Is there a meaning of life? If so, what is it?
- - Morality: What is right and wrong? And how do we know?
- - Destiny: What happens when we die?
- 2) What makes these questions ultimate?
- - All questions that take life seriously ultimately come down to one (or more) of these questions!
- - Everybody from every time in history must answer them
- - - Ignoring them is a form of an answer
- - - They are inescapable because they affect everything from the way an individual lives to how a nation governs
- - The answers deal not just with ourselves, but with all humanity & all of the universe!
- 3) What is popular culture?
- - See previous blog entries for this.
- 4) Why is it wrong to think it doesn’t matter what the answer to the ultimate questions are?
- - Because it actually does matter!
- - Our ideas about reality determine how we live day-by-day

- - Destiny: What happens when we die?
