Imagine a world where no one has to lock their front doors and the primary duties of policemen are attending to stranded motorists and assisting in motor vehicle accidents. Imagine a world where there’s no military, no bombs, and no weapons. A world where children grow up in the security of a home with their mother and father, and women can walk outside at night without being accosted or sexually assaulted. No more slavery, political corruption, and injustice in the courts.
Such a world can only exist by following the 10 Commandments–a set of laws written over three thousand years ago, a set of laws that are just as relevant for us today.
In this course, we are going to explore each of the 10 Commandments and how each is applicable to our lives and essential for a just and free society.
The 10 Commandments
Humanity has everything it needs to create a good world. We’ve had it for 3,000 years. It’s the Ten Commandments; ten basic, yet profound instructions for how to lead a moral life. If everyone followed the Ten Commandments, we would not need armies or police; marriages and families would be stronger; truth would be a paramount value. Dennis Prager explains how the Ten Commandments led to the creation of Western Civilization and why they remain relevant to your life today.
