SAT essay #1 I believe schools should help students understand moral choices and social issues. This could help you obtain and sustain a job. If students understand moral choices and social issues, they have an easier time understanding the environment they may work at. These things could be being polite to your boss and co workers. Also, you could perhaps understand what others may think of an issue, and help find a common ground. This is how i see understanding moral choices and social issues can help in your future work. Another thing you could do by learning and understanding these concepts, could be teaching/informing your offspring. If you have a better understanding of it, you could teach your children what you know. Also, it is good for your, if they are the appropriate age, to know what's going on in our crazy, psychotic world. Knowing what is going on, is helpful so we are not oblivious and not understand why something is how it is...they will be able to understand it and make it better. Seeing how oblivious some people are, i feel we do need to understand moral choices and social issues. But, i do not believe it is big enough to have its own class, it should be a part of a class, something like social studies. As important as moral choices and social issues are, we still need to concentrate in our core classes in school... ("\/")<====cookie monster o.o

SAT essay #2

Knowing that some schools don’t focus on morality, schools should teach students more than just the basic core subjects in school. Everyone needs a solid “ground” to build their lives upon. When you are young, you spend the majority of the daylight hours in a classroom. Your brain also functions easier when you’re young, so it would be good to teach morality there. After all, ‘you can’t teach an old dog new tricks’ when else (besides home) are children going to learn it? If you don’t teach about moral values, everyone’s going to grow up wanting whatever they want without a care for anyone else. There would be lots more wars because the human race will kill for power over others. It also wouldn’t be very chivalrous for people to be pushing each other around with no respect. Finally, morality IS a class. Therefore, it should be taught in schools. It is a class where you learn to work as a group. You learn to listen to a higher authority figure such as a teacher. If school is teaching you for a job, then listening to the boss is part of your job also. This would help you not to get fired. Overall, yes. Morality should be taught in schools because one: you spend most of your adolescent life in schools. Two: The world could be in constant danger because of people wanting power resulting from lack of morality teachings. And Three: school in general is supposed to be like a morality class, but most of the time you aren’t aware that you are enrolled in it.

SAT essay 3 Yes. Schools should help students understand moral choices and social issues, because the ore people that know how to do the right thing, the more people that will do the right thing. Without moral and social guidance, students will have a hard time solving problems in real life. For example, people with less social guidance and experience might try to fight people to prove a point, instead of talking things out. Some people who are not exposed to religion tend to lead very shallow lives, but people who fanatically try to convert people to their religion tend to alienate most people. Schools should help find the balance. If schools teach good morals, the world would turn out to be a better place overall. Morals like trustworthiness, kindness, helpfulness, and respect for others usually result in a better community. Simple things like holding open a door or offering to help somebody carry something heavy can result in an overall better community. So for these reason it would be a good idea for schools to incorporate social guidance and moral improvement into their curriculum.

SAT Essay #4 I believe that moral choices and social issues are important for teachers to explain to their students because of three reasons. My first reason is because you would not want your students to be surprised at the different types of things that happen around the world. Secondly, moral choices are the decision you make based on what you think is right and wrong. Lastly, social issues are the problems that happen around the world and without knowing them will lead to disruption because of unbalanced education and knowledge. Teachers should teach moral choices and social issues because it keeps the students up to date with different events. This whole topic on teaching moral choices improves decision–making because it really makes you think and interpret things that you may not have understood before. Lastly, I would like to say that social values are important because they help you for memorization. Therefore reading the newspaper, news, or Internet’ should be a great resource of information where you can actually understand. Also, without the education of moral choices and social issues it will make the students all confused and make them think a lot before they make a choice versus if they were educated about this topic when they were younger. Those are my several reasons why I think teachers should teach moral choices and social values in school. I think in general, both of the topics of moral choices and social values are very important in life… I think they help guide you.

SAT Essay #5 I both agree ad disagree with schools teaching us about moral and social issues. Our morals are going to be a big part of our lives after we are finished with school and some of us are in need of better preparation. School is supposed to provide us with most of the elements that we need in our lifetime and I think that our moral and social issues fall under that category. Everyone could use a little extra preparation. The morals that we have now may also be very different than the way that many other people deal with moral and social issues. If students could learn about these, they might be able to give them another perspective of these ideas. Some of us usually see these topics in black and white, but, in fact, there are also many shades of gray in these situations. However, many of us, students, tend to agree with those around us like our parents or teachers and their own opinions. I personally think that it is also our job to decide these moral and social issues for ourselves because they are a big part of our lives and we shouldn't let others persuade us too much about these important decisions. If we are going to be independent adults someday we have to learn to make choices that make sense to us and what we think will work best for ourselves.

Sat essay 6 Outline I. Everyone can have different choices and point of views a. Someone German living in Germany during Hitler’s time would think differently than someone Jewish living in Germany b. Chapel for a certain religion may not fit with another persons religion II. You (people) cant make everyone have the same beliefs a. If you tried to do that, violence could occur at schools and endanger lives b. This would end up like communism, something that is frowned upon in most countries

Schools should not be responsible for helping students understand moral choices and social issues. There are many different moral choices you can make, thus the usage of the word choice. People can have different opinions and point of views, and seeing as this is America, the “Land Of The Free”, you can’t force people to have the same beliefs. People constantly come up with different ways of seeing things. They are allowed to. Here in America, expressing your opinions, even if they’re not the same as everyone else’s, they’re accepted. For example, I don’t think you can force someone of Jewish descent to believe that Hitler was a good leader of Germany. Whereas, you could get someone of German descent to believe that. For some people, religion is a big deal. They run their lives around it. If someone is, say Muslim, and all schools are forced to teach Christianity, how will they cope? How are different religions supposed to survive?

sat essay 7

Schools should not teach students about morals and social issues in school, because it may be considered a form of brainwashing. If morals were taught in schools kids would be told what they should and must believe in, whereas if schools only taught algebra, biology and all that academic stuff, kids would be free to find something they believe in. also if morals orals and social issues are kept out of people will grow up being different, with different ideas, different solutions, and different dreams. If morals were taught in schools people will have the same ideas, the same motives the same perspective, they would think nice uniform thoughts like: “I want world peace!” “I hate violence!” if people did not learn morals in schools their thoughts would be much different, unique, sometimes even entertaining to others, such as these: “I hat this I hate that” “I want to hit Timmy with a baseball bat!” “I wonder what would happen if I stuck my fingers into the fan?” if morals were kept out of school curriculum the people of the word would be unique. It would allow for a diverse community with many different ethnic groups, moral, and religions. It takes all kinds to make this world go round.

SAT essay 8 Schools should teach students about morals and overall good citizenship. Life after college isn't all about intelligence and studens spend a lot of their time at school. It could even improve intelligence. Imagine a world without morals or social guide lines. THere would be chaos and no one wuld care or even try to do the right thing. After college, life is way more than being smart. In order, to succeed in life, you need to get along with others and make tough desicions. Students spend a lot of time at school.I leave to school at 6:15 and get home at 7:00 later that day. I go to sleep a s soon as I finnish my homework. Seeing that I spend a lot of my life at school, I think that it is important for kids to learn social values.

SAT Essay #9 A purpose for a school is to educate students and prepare them for the real world. If no one does, then who will? Moral choices and social issues are things necessary for life. If these things aren’t taught in school, how and who will teach the students? During the whole year, school takes up much of our time, a total of 6 hours a day How do you expect our parents to teach us these things when we aren’t home most of the day? Also at school it is the place where our moral choices take place and our social issues. If students don’t learn good moral choices, the school, their future, and the real world would turn into chaos. The schools purpose is to educate which means to teach you the necessary things to be a proper adult. To be a proper human, it is absolutely necessary to make good moral choices. Who will teach the students about these things if they don’t learn it in school? It will be very hard to learn in the strict real world, when these students become to have their own careers. Or these students may not even get a career because they don’t have good moral choice making. Why not teach it at school, since the parents don’t have time but at school, there are people called teachers, who are there to educate.
