Question 2

For each of the following concepts, provide an example from the book or from your own life.
-Value-altering principle

Accepted Answer

In the context of the book, a value-altering principle could be seen in the character development of the protagonist. For example, in "To Kill a Mockingbird," the value-altering principle is evident in the growth and change of Scout as she learns about empathy and understanding through her experiences with Boo Radley and the trial of Tom Robinson.

In my own life, a value-altering principle could be seen in my decision to pursue a career in social work. This decision was influenced by my experiences volunteering at a local shelter and realizing the importance of advocating for marginalized communities. This shift in values led me to pursue a career that aligns with my newfound principles of social justice and equality.
