About the Class
In the previous lessons you learned how important it is to practice self-control when dealing with your emotions, thoughts and actions. You also learned that you need self-control to communicate respectfully and to resist negative influences. Now that you have explored some of the ways in which you, as an individual, can use self-control to improve every aspect of your life, let us look at whether the society in which we live practices self-control.
When was the last you watched the news or read the newspaper? Have you noticed the number of crimes in the form of theft, violence and aggression that are reported daily? Have you ever notice that anger, violence and aggression also exist between nations? When conflicts between nations are not resolved peacefully, the results are wars and threats of wars. Crime, violence, aggression and war are only some of the ways that a lack of self-control is displayed within our society.
Each person has the choice to practice self-control in his or her life. They can choose to acquire their belongings honestly and communicate respectfully if they want to live in a peaceful society. On the other hand, if they fail to practice self-control many lives will be affected.
In this lesson, you will explore how every aspect of self-control also applies to our society, nation and world. You will learn that each individual must consistently practice self-control if we are to live in a society that is free from hate, violence and aggression.
