I want to do a sort of moral maze type discussion with my class next week. Does anyone have any suggestions for scenarios that could get 12-year-olds thinking about moral dilemmas? A mixture of secular ones and religious ones is probably good, so I welcome suggestions from people who aren't Jewish.

I had come up with a couple I thought were good, and they are essentially covered and well more in this comment - I was going for ones on which I hold fairly strong positions that I know are not Western social norms, fwiw.

One could query whether you get a better argument from "Is consensual incest between adults wrong ?" than from the assumptions inherent in having a "why" at the beginning, but that is probably not a discussion I'd want to get into with twelve-year-olds.

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
