Grade 11 Dharma Ethical Scenario Exercise

Revision activities / HRE study practice

Learning focus: Principles of Dharma. This original Grade 11 HRE exercise gives you a task, a suggested response and a follow-up challenge. It is classroom practice, not an official assessment paper.

Understand the idea

An ethical discussion of dharma should connect the concept as taught in class to duties, choices and consequences. A thoughtful response can acknowledge competing responsibilities.

Try the activity

A learner must choose between helping with an agreed family duty and keeping a school commitment. How can the situation be discussed responsibly?

Attempt your response before opening the guidance. Show the steps, textual evidence or reasons that support your answer; a final answer alone may hide a misunderstanding.

Self-assessment checklist

This is your own assessment, not automatic marking.

Self-assessed checklist: 0/4

Show suggested answer and reasoning

Identify both responsibilities, explain the relevant teaching from the class source and consider communication, timing and alternative arrangements. Support the response with reasoning rather than claiming a single action always resolves every situation.

Follow-up challenge

Write two possible responses and assess the consequences of each. Ask what additional facts are needed before judging the decision.

Review your work

  • Did you answer the question actually asked?
  • Can you explain the method or evidence in your own words?
  • What would you change if one condition in the task changed?

Use the suggested response to identify one correction, then attempt the task again without copying it. For an open-ended question, other well-supported answers may be reasonable. Ask your teacher to check interpretations or language forms where needed.
