Humanist Happy Hour - Ethical Development

Meet other humanists from Brooklyn and beyond!

Humanist Happy Hour is a monthly gathering for chatting about anything on your mind... from the heights of philosophy and humanism, down to day-to-day life in the city :)

Bring your favorite beverage and discussion topic! We'll provide light refreshments and snacks.

This event is also a Newcomer Reception for those just learning about Brooklyn Ethical and Ethical Culture in general. Come meet the community and learn more about our Sunday Platforms and other events!

This Month's Discussion

Ethical/moral development is the process of discovering your sense of right and wrong, and developing your ability to act in accordance with these values. (Wikipedia)

What values are most important to you in your daily life? Do your ethics come from experience or intuition? How do you seek to resolve moral dilemmas, and how have these dilemmas sparked change and reflection?

This discussion is part of a series on the 10 Commitments (American Humanist Association).
