Bell Ringer #1 Identify a time when you cared about something to the extent that it motivated you to act in a manner above and beyond what you typically might do. Examples might include a school assignment, an athletic or artistic event, a special experience in one’s family, a friend in need, or a situation in the community, nation, or world. Explain what gave you the motivation to go above and beyond.
Bell Ringer # 2 Think of a hero in a movie, a comic, or book. What did that person do to stop oppression of other people? What do all heroes have in common?

Bell Ringer #3 • Identify an example of when talking things out was used to resolve a conflict in your own life. Do you think that having discussions can help resolve the conflict in Darfur? Explain.
