3. Explain the statement that an injury to one human being is an injury to the whole of humanity. Give illustrations.
4. Does the brotherhood of humanity mean sameness? Explain and illustrate.
5. What is the theosophical attitude toward the lower kingdoms of nature? What is the basis for that attitude?
6. What difference might the acceptance and practice of the principle of brotherhood make in our attitude toward business? Education? Political problems? Race relations? Labor problems?
