The Rules we live by.aa

Taking two quotes from historical books in our Tower library, I intend to hold an interactive class.

“You must know the rules to the letter and live with them before you can know which rules you may break and when.”
“That said right out that sometimes you can break the rules.”

"If anyone could break any rule they chose, do whatever they chose, and escape punishment merely by doing some good to balance it, the world would be chaos."

Em gestures at the chalked titles on the board ' These Ladies will be the topic of my class today. Firstly a short lecture from myself and then split into groups/pairs so to discuss said quotes. '

We as Aes Sedai travel to the location and find diversion within the group, also, the Elders are of firm standing they shouldn 't go near the White Tower and be meddled with further. The girls abilities can be stemmed and fade away in their eyes. So what is to be done, move on to find other potential girls with the spark or make sure these ladies get the training they need.
With the long term morality at stake, what is to be done.

So within the purview of the two quotes, would you see it as the proper thing to do for the girls, who clearly want to train and feel they are almost hostages. Maybe some of you think the Aes Sedai can 't take the girls against the parents will.

    We as human beings live together in large groups who follow certain rules and regulations, both written and simply unspoken but known. Most of these rules we just accept for what they are and do not really pay much attention to them. We go along with what “the norm” is for life because it is easier to live that way rather than challenging how things work. However, if we take the time to sit and really think about what is socially acceptable and what is not, some may begin to question the fairness and legitimacy of these rules. How we interact with other groups of people is a great example of what is sometimes socially acceptable but morally wrong.…

This essay will show how Kant’s perspective of freedom and morality was inspired by Rousseau and how the way in which Kant’s view of freedom relates to his idea of the moral law is due to his view of autonomy.…
