Select a relationship in a medium of your choice newspaper article, television
show, movie, etc. You could pick a specific example or something general like
disagreements between friends, conflicts due to difference, etc.
In your first paragraph, describe the situation that has occurred. This should be
done in 3 to 5 sentences. Try to consider answering who, what, where, when and
why (if possible)
Next, explain how the Beatitudes were OR were not lived out. Select 3
Beatitudes and explain how each applied to the situation. Emphasize how they
were lived OR suggest ways how the Beatitudes could be lived.
Conclude by explaining what difference would or did living the Beatitudes make
in this situation.
