Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: divAmericans have reason to be concerned about the condition of American democracy at the start of the twenty-first century. Surveys show that civic participation has declined, cynicism about government has increased, and young people have a weak grasp of the principles that underlie our constitutional system. Crucial questions must be answered: How serious is the situation? What role do schools play in shaping civic behavior? Are current education reform initiatives—such as multiculturalism and school choice—counterproductive? How can schools contribute toward reversing the trend? This volume brings together leading thinkers from a variety of disciplines to probe the relation between a healthy democracy and education. Their original and provocative discussions cut across a range of important topics: the cultivation of democratic values, the formation of social capital in schools and communities, political conflict in a pluralist society, the place of religion in public life, the enduring problems of racial inequality. Gathering together the most current research and thinking on education and civil society, this is a book that deserves the attention of everyone who cares about the quality and future of American democracy./DIV

Book excerpt: La séptima encíclica del pontificado de Juan Pablo II entronca con la doctrina social de su antecesor, Pablo VI, y aborda los nuevos problemas del hombre de hoy. La justicia social, los derechos humanos, el equilibrio ecológico y la dignidad de la persona humana son algunos de los aspectos que se subrayan con más fuerza en esta carta encíclica. La tesis central del texto papal radica en que la tierra pertenece a todos los hombres y todos tienen derecho a sus bienes y recursos. Las t res partes principales de la encíclica se basan en una preocupación: l a situación actual del mundo y la precaria condición humana, y en un principio: la concepción ecuménica del mundo resumible en el concepto d e que la tierra es de todos. El Papa hace una llamada a los gobernantes en torno a la injusta distribución de los recursos y aboga por un equilibrio entre los países ricos y los pobres.
