The first module introduces participants to concepts of Natural Law. Like all animals, human beings are born with certain unique traits and characteristics, which make up the essence of who we are. For example, as human beings our special gifts are to gain virtue through reasoning. We are all born with an almost endless capacity for virtue and a natural affection for other human beings. We are also born with a desire for the common good, and an innate sense of right and wrong. Thinking, learning and gaining virtue is our special thing, which we were given that no animal in the world has.
There are two other aspects of the Natural Laws which include the importance of our living in awe of those things we do not know, and with a sense of balance. We ask students to challenge the findings of Natural Laws throughout the workshop.
