Alternate Activity 4: The Brain, Making Decisions
Part of Virtue Ethics
Activity time: 20 minutes
Preparation for Activity
- Prepare several scenarios that involve making a decision.
Description of Activity
Participants use knowledge of brain science to examine decision making.
Invite participants to role play making decisions. Ask the role players to imagine (aloud) what processes they think their brain might be going through. Of course, since a great deal of it is unconscious, we cannot be sure. The activity is just fun speculation.
