Code of Ethics... Megan Snyder

I love those Code of Ethics, those are really motivating. Not to mention anybody could learn something from at least one of them. I like how so many of the codes revolve around respect. A teacher told me once that when developing their classroom rules, they came up with only two. Respect others, and respect yourself. They said everything in the classroom could be brought back to those two rules, and it’s true. For example if Billie hits John then Billie is in trouble because he broke the first rule of respecting others. My favorite two rules from the Code of Ethics were: “All the races and tribes in the world are like the different colored flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator, they must all be respected.” Not only does this have a good lesson but it has great imagery and a beautiful nature reference. The second one was, “Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms: in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude and in the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.” I like this one because it talks about how you can obtain guidance from many different things.
