  2. Has the development of technology stunted the advancement of humanity? Does religion lead to intolerance? Pearl Jam: Philosophical Questions(generated by Year Seven pupils) Is it better to tell the truth, even if it causes harm to others? Can humans ever really change things or is the world doomed?

  3. MACBETH Besides, this Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against The deep damnation of his taking-off… In this scene, Macbeth is similar to John Stuart Mill – he is thinking about the consequences if he kills Duncan. Year Seven Pupils The world becomes unbalanced when the characters act selfishly, just like when the natural order is disturbed in Macbeth. BALANCE P4C short film stimulus
