Surviving and Conquering

Survivors never give up, no matter what difficulties they find themselves facing. The word "survival" literally means "to live" but also implies the triumph of the spirit and the body over formidable obstacles. As individuals and as groups, people face physical, emotional, and social difficulties that force them to survive and, indeed, conquer. They must draw on their inner resources and overcome the obstacles. In their attempt to survive, they often learn a great deal about themselves and others.
Possible Questions for Deeper Understanding:
  • What does it take to survive on planet Earth and in our society?
  • What kinds of survival challenges have others faced?
  • What decisions do people have to make to survive?
  • How can we help one another survive?
  • Why is it important to do more than just survive?
