Talk It Over
  In a global society where members belong
to different races with different cultural
background, different learning's from historical
heritage and different moral standards, there
could be different interpretations of human
actions, rightful or not, that may often lead
to misunderstanding.

Point’s To Ponder
  Our morality must guide us in all our
thinking, expression of thoughts and
feelings, and acting and reacting to our
socio-cultural environment.

individuals who claim what they are

entitled to but neglect the manner in which
the claim is conveyed.
