8. Describe a scenario that forced you to wrestle with your values. What was your ultimate decision and how do you feel about it? Explain.

One scenario that forced me to wrestle with my values was one that most people know but didn’t actually have to live through it. If you have ever had someone ask you, “Would you steal a loaf of bread for your family to eat if you were starving and poor?” you may have not put a lot of thought into your answer because it seems a bit outlandish. One summer my family was in a really rough place, my parents had been laid off and my siblings and I were too young to help out much. One day a fellow peer of mine in school had brought a bag of goodies and they had left them sitting in the back of the class. Later on, we had all gone outside to complete a science experiment. I had returned back to the classroom to grab my sweater and nobody else was inside. That day especially I was starving because I hadn’t eaten lunch or dinner the day before or anything that day. I remembered my siblings and how skinny and malnourished we looked. At that moment, even though it hurt me to do it, I grabbed the bag and shoved it in my bag. To this day, I still feel extremely bad for what I had done, but a part of me slept a little better that night knowing my family wouldn’t starve in our car that night.

explanation:

the national defense education act had two main goals. the first one was to provide personal that was oriented to defense, including scholars, engineering students and so on. the other goal was to provide financial assistance for the students who would be enrolling at colleges and universities in the 1960s.

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
