scenarios.
A perfect way for secondary students to see the connection of Catholic social
teaching to real life is to utilise the See - Think - Judge - Act process. Students can follow
the steps below:
•See – Explore a human experience or a current issue. What is happening?
What is the effect on people? Why is this happening?
• Think – Express and clarify your ideas. Learn by listening to others and sharing your
understanding. What are others saying? What do you think could be happening?
• Judge – Reflect on the issues, including from a faith perspective. What does Scripture say?
What do the CST principles say? What are the ethical implications?
• Act – Remember that action can take many forms. It may be personal or a group action.
What is it that you want to change (long term goal)? What action are you going
to take immediately (short term goal)? Who can you
involve in your action?
