KMC Forums - X-Men Dark Moon 2 (Angie come!)

um ok heres a clip...I'm trying to find a transition between two parts...

John slowly ventured down the staircase about two hours later. Glancing down into the hall below, he caught the gaze of three young students relaxing on the sofas at the far end of the room. In unison, the three quickly stood up from their seats and hustled to an adjacent room, suddenly eager to return to class.

He grimaced for a moment, recalling what he had been told about the previous night, but then heard raised voices coming from the office at the foot of the stairs. His eyes narrowed, and he decided to investigate.

The door was cracked open, so as he came closer, he could discern that one voice belonged to Gwendolyn�

�Humanism is philosophy that emphasizes humanity�s ability to reach their full potential as ethical and moral people. Its a somewhat popular, but a bit too ideal, of a belief."

John peeked into the crack in the door and saw a large gathering of students seated in various chairs surrounding Gwendolyn�s desk. The young woman was leaning against it, deep into her lecture.

�So how do you learn to define morality? How do you know right from wrong? Where do you learn it from?�

She looked aroudn, waiting for a volunteer. A young, Asian girl raised her hand. Gwendolyn pointed to her.

�From our parents,� the girl piped up from the back of the room.

�Alright, Megan, but where do they learn?�

�From their parents,� a tall German boy answered aloud. A red-haired girl sitting next to him raised her hand. Gwendolyn paused for a moment before responding.

�Yes, Moira?�

�Well, doesn�t society shape what we believe?�

Gwen smiled, nodding.

�Very good point, Moira. But then we must begin to consider who started society�s view? Where did it all begin?�

Gwendolyn glanced at the student�s faces: this was obviously getting too in depth.

�But we�re getting off topic. So as I was saying, the humanist belief is that all humanity had the capacity to be good.�

�That idea is flawed, Ms. Holmes.�

Students gave murmurs of disapproval and flashed stern glances at Marcus, warning him to not contradict her. But Gwen raised her hands in protest.

�Now now, we�re not here to judge: after all, this class is founded on individual ideas and opinions. Marcus, you have the floor.�

"Well, these philosophers spew all about humanity being honest and that everyone has the ability to be good�when we ALL know from personal experience that that�s not true."
