Morality vs. Law

Welcome: Morality vs. Law
Description: In this webquest we will be discussing the differences between the rule of law and morality. The exercises that you will complete may make you uncomfortable and may involve delving into topics that you may not find yourself able to complete, should this be the case please feel free to come talk to me about this so that we can find alternate activities for you to complete. The major focus for this lesson will be that you begin to see the gray scale that exists within the rule of law and how it compares to the concepts of morality. As a reference we will be using the book that we have been reading this month "The Lord of the Flies" as our novel of choice. While this is not primary source material, it is an adaptation of the very same concepts that we are discussing in the form of a novel.
