Discussing ethics through Literature

In this unit, students analyze Ursula Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" to evaluate its social, moral, and ethical positions. The story explores the idea of a utopian society where all of the world's burdens are placed on a single child, and prompts readers to reflect on whether they would be comfortable living in such a society. Through this analysis, students gain a deeper understanding of their personal beliefs and values.
