texts of a young adult book series. This is an example of a positive approach to the phenomenon of civil war violence, which is affecting growing numbers of young people in many parts of the world. A theme running through the book is hope, a glimmer of which can only be seen as younger generations consciously band together for integration into the chaos of a crumbling world. I 1.

The moral behavior of the main characters in Tom's story shows a cycle of thinking and behavior that can be ended. Read the following quotes and identify the attitudes and qualities we should display in the face of prejudice and hostility. Oh God's army! Be careful not to hurt the soul and grieve the heart; that your words offend no one, whether they know you or a stranger, friend or foe. Pray for all; he prays that all be blessed and
all be forgiven. Beware, beware that none of you seek vengeance, not even of him who thirsts for your blood. Be careful, be careful not to hurt someone's feelings, even if they are evil and wish you something bad. Do not look to creatures, look to their Creator. Don't look at people who never give up, just see the Lord of hosts. Do not look down on the dust, look up on the shining sun that illuminates every dark land with light. Now
revenge is also guilty of reason, because revenge does not bring good results to the avenger. So if one strikes another, and the one who strikes strikes back, what is the use in striking back? Will it be a balm for his wound or a cure for his pain? No, God forbid! In fact, both actions are the same: both are injuries; The only difference is that one happened first and the other later. Therefore, it is commendable if the victim forgives,
even if he behaves differently from what was done to him. Community law will punish thembut he will not retaliate. This punishment is designed to prevent, protect and prevent cruelty and wrongdoing so that other people are not tyrants. I invite you all to focus every thought of your heart on love and unity. When the thought of war comes, counter it with a stronger thought of peace. The thought of hate must be destroyed by the
stronger thought of love. Thoughts of war bring destruction to all harmony, prosperity, peace and contentment. 2. How does this story help young people respond to situations of prejudice and oppression with objective justice and without malice? You can review the history sections from Lessons 4, 5, 6 and 7, as well as intellectual growth and contributing to the transformation of society. Identify instances from the story where the
main characters use the second aspect of moral purpose. You may want to review parts of the story from Lessons 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. IV 1. Although history is a means by which young people raise their awareness, the activities in each lesson are designed to help them think about the implications of ideas and actions in their daily lives within the framework of morality. The first activity in each lesson draws from the story an
important spiritual concept that applies equally to any young adolescent. For example, in Lesson 1 we read: There is confusion and violence in the capital, which is spreading.they want to protect themselves but don't know what to do, and the first task relates the concept of protection to the lives of young people studying the text. Read the passage below and discuss what this activity will lead to: Kibomi Country is at war and the
people need protection. We are exposed to danger throughout our lives. In our prayers, we turn to God and ask him to protect us. Read this prayer and think: Lord! May this young man shine and give his gift to this poor fellow. Give him knowledge, give him extra strength every morning and keep him under the protection of Your protection. Now try to remember the prayer. 2. The second task relates the spiritual concept of divine
protection to those things that can harm young people, such as illness, the effects of alcohol and ignorance, and from which they need to be protected. This helps them better understand the principles involved, prompting them to think about the implications of the decisions they make in specific situations. For example, in exercise 2.a they learn that their healthy eating habits, avoidance of negative emotions such as anger and
jealousy, and their efforts to study science will protect them from disease. What will you learn in exercise 2.b. and 2 in.? 3. Now study each of the tasks in Lessons 2, 3, 6, 9 and 11.34 in the same way. 'Abdu'l-Bah says: "Praise be to God, today the splendor of the Word of God has illuminated all horizons, and souls from every sect, race, tribe, nation and community have gathered in the light of the Word, united and agreed in perfect
harmony, in spite of such diversity, unites perfect harmony and unity, love and freedom; You have a voice, an idea, and a purpose. Truly, it comes from the penetrating power of the Word of God! If all the forces of the universe were united, they would notIn this way to gather a gathering so imbued with feelings of love, affection, attraction and inflammation, to unite representatives of different races and raise a voice from the heart
of the world, scattering wars and conflicts, eliminating conflicts and conflicts will . , ushering in an era of universal peace and establishing unity and harmony among human beings. How does the story in lesson 10 show a group of people acting on those words? _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________
