Through using the See-Judge-Act process, students understand that they have a responsibility to ensure the dignity of all. This dignity is assured because all are made in the image and likeness of God and consequentially all have a right to human freedom. Students seek out examples of where human dignity is not currently respected and ponder if there is an opportunity to respond.
