Freedom and Responsibility: in conflict 5. Lou usually likes the job he found bussing tables at a restaurant. But he often shows up late to work when he just doesn't feel like dealing with the hassles.

 

 

Points to Ponder:

• How is this story an example of freedom and responsibility in conflict?
• What kinds of support do you think Lou might need to be able to balance his freedom with his responsibility?
• How would you rewrite this story to make it the opposite of what it is?
