Happiness Through Humanism: altruism

We Humanists don’t do commandments. We do, however, feel very strongly about our commitments to others. This is why the Kochhar Humanist Education Center has issued 10 Humanist Commitments to Education. These are the values Humanists feel should be taught in our schools. http://cohe.humanistinstitute.org/?page_id=14747

The website also includes resources in case you want to teach your own children these values and skills. For the record, the 10 values Humanist feel we should be committed to teaching our children are:

Altruism
Caring for the World Around Us
Critical Thinking
Empathy
Ethical Development
Global Awareness
Humility
Peace and Social Justice
Responsibility
Service and Participation

“This ethical mission is an essential part of all education, public and private, elementary through high school and university. In a democratic and pluralist society, we believe that the values presented should be the moral foundation of education.”
