Tuesday, 1/15/2019 - Hinduism: Karma Memes EXAMPLE

Slide 12

​

Picture of Meme:

Make a claim if this meme accurately represents the idea of Karma.

This meme accurately represents the idea of Karma because the law of karma means that whatever actions and thoughts we think build up and add to our karma. Squidward purposefully not saying a mean or sarcastic comment will help build up good karma.

Defend your thinking with a piece of evidence from the article. (Use citation!)

“The universe gives back to us what we have given to it.” (Karma and Reincarnation, page 1)

​

This means that Squidward holding back from saying a mean comment will help his karma later on.

Defend your thinking with another piece of evidence from the article.

(Use citation!)

“The more we practice the same behavior, the more difficult it is to resist or change the bad behavior.” (Karma and Reincarnation, page 1)

​

This meme shows that Squidward was actively practicing the same good behavior over and over so that he does not have to resist or create any bad behaviors.
