Everyone has a moral compass that guides them in determining good from bad or right from wrong. Those judgments can sometimes be flawed, however, a result of individuals being shaped by the people, laws, ideas, and environment around them. This accessible resource will assist readers as they develop a personal value system that can direct them through life. Not everything in the world can be absolutely certain, but what's important is making the best judgment calls possible and learning from those experiences.

Trying to visually trace each person's roots, which can span multiple countries and continents, could look like a massive, tangled ball of yarn. Immigration has been a hot-button issue since the dawn of civilization, with each country's government policies allowing them to dictate who can stay, who should go, and who isn't even allowed to enter. Readers will learn about migrants and refugees and some of the reasons for leaving home behind. Through this engaging text they will recognize the intricacies of a complex issue that cannot be boiled down to "good" or "bad.".
