Download or read book Sowing the Seeds of Character written by Judd Kruger Levingston and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-06-08 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rabbi and educator shows how moral education can be crafted to address each of the three main branches of the moral life: philosophy, civics, and ethics. Sowing the Seeds of Character: The Moral Education of Adolescents in Public and Private Schools is a book for all teachers and parents. It rests on the premise that the moral education of students falls within the purview of schools, whether they assume responsibility for it or not. Regardless of the place of moral education in the formal curriculum, all teachers serve as moral exemplars to their students, for good or for ill. Teachers of science, social studies, history, and literature courses cannot help but inculcate moral sensibility and attitudes in their students by the ways in which they lead them to grapple with—or glide over—the moral implications of what they teach. Judd Kruger Levingston draws many lessons and examples from his extensive research and teaching experience in Muslim, Jewish, Roman Catholic, public, Quaker, and Chinese schools. He argues that teachers should become proficient in directing role-playing simulations of moral decision-making as morally complex topics arise within the standard curriculum.

Book excerpt: The public outcry for a return to moral education in our schools has raised more dust than it's dispelled. Building upon his provocative ideas in On Becoming Responsible, Michael Pritchard clears the air with a sensible plan for promoting our children's moral education through the teaching of reasonableness. Pritchard contends that children have a definite but frequently untapped capacity for reasonableness and that schools in a democratic society must make the nurturing of that capacity one of their primary aims, as fundamental to learning as the development of reading, writing, and math skills. Reasonableness itself, he shows, can be best cultivated through the practice of philosophical inquiry within a classroom community. In such an environment, children learn to work together, to listen to one another, to build on one another's ideas, to probe assumptions and different perspectives, and ultimately to think for themselves. Advocating approaches to moral education that avoid mindless indoctrination and timid relativism, Pritchard neither preaches nor hides behind abstractions. He makes liberal use of actual classroom dialogues to illustrate children's remarkable capacity to engage in reasonable conversation about moral concepts involving fairness, cheating, loyalty, truthtelling, lying, making and keeping promises, obedience, character, and responsibility. He also links such discussions to fundamental concerns over law and moral authority, the roles of teachers and parents, and the relationship between church and state. Pritchard draws broadly and deeply from the fields of philosophy and psychology, as well as from his own extensive personal experience working with children and teachers. The result is a rich and insightful work that provides real hope for the future of our children and their moral education.

Download or read book The Variety of Values written by Susan R. Wolf and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over thirty years Susan Wolf has been writing about moral and nonmoral values and the relation between them. This volume collects Wolf's most important essays on the topics of morality, love, and meaning, ranging from her classic essay "Moral Saints" to her most recent "The Importance of Love." Wolf's essays warn us against the common tendency to classify values in terms of a dichotomy that contrasts the personal, self-interested, or egoistic with the impersonal, altruistic or moral. On Wolf's view, this tendency ignores or distorts the significance of such values as love, beauty, and truth, and neglects the importance of meaningfulness as a dimension of the good life. These essays show us how a self-conscious recognition of the variety of values leads to new understandings of the point, the content, and the limits of morality and to new ways of thinking about happiness and well-being.

Download or read book Beauty of Morality written by Pierre Edens Sully and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author wants to enter the heart of readers more delicately with some poems with the book of Beauty of Morality letting the readers believe that the value of life depends on planned parenthood and other forms of social organization planning for the future in being responsible to bring the children into the world when they could not provide with the full range of material and cultural assets essential to successful competition. What is the main concern of human life? One of the answers we should have would be that it is happiness. How to gain, how to keep, how to recover the happinessthis is for me the secret motive of all they do, of all they are willing to endure. What is the sincerity in the work? It is not about making of the work a passport of the negligence and of the corruption. It is about not making the work look as ugly as possible. The author displays the possibility of refuting the core of the truth in the notion of new technology by claiming all the evils attributed to it, shows how the current civilization in America makes the human beings more cultivated and more productive, shows the insatiability of curiosity and desire, which gives the idea of progress a solid foundation in psychological and historical observation, and describes the beauty of landscapes, the marvels, and the greatness of United States that have been pictured with elegance.
