SCENARIOS: WE WANT DIFFERENT THINGS
Explore contrasting values in these two scenarios:

Elyse and Jessie go to the homecoming dance. The DJ plays a song
that Elyse hates—it’s about how men only like women with big
butts. She thinks it’s demeaning to women. But to her surprise,
Jessie runs out on the dance floor and starts dancing along. She
loves the song! She seems to have fun dancing in a super-sexy way
that shocks Elyse, who feels left out and abandoned. When the
song is over, Elyse tells Jessie that she was dancing like a total idiot.
Jessie feels really hurt and starts crying.

• What values might Elyse have that make her not want to
participate in dancing along to this song?
• What values might Jessie have that make her feel good
about dancing to this song?
• How could Jessie and Elyse have handled this situation
differently to be true to themselves but not hurt each
other?
