Learning Goal: Determine how culture is made and the role of humans in forming their cultures vision of the good life.
The goal of this unit is to develop a an understanding of how culture is made and the role of humans in forming cultures vision of the good life. We have talked at length about God's intent in creation and how sin has impacted that intent. Most commonly, we look at these four questions:
- What did God intend for man?
- What did God intend for creation?
- What did God intend for man with their neighbor?
- What did God intend for an understanding of self?
The goal of this unit is to take a look at how we can shape culture through our work. How will we add value to the world around us through the work of our heart, head, and hands this year?
