SuitabookWhat is Right and Wrong? Who Decides? Where Do Values Come From? And Other Big Questions
Michael Rosen and Annemarie Young
- Reading
- Read it in short sections, pausing to define unfamiliar ideas together. Invite the reader to separate the book’s explanations from contributors’ experiences, then compare one principle with a different possible viewpoint.
- Themes
- How values are formed: The book examines where values come from, who decides which values are used in a society, and whether principles can change. It offers an informational framework for thinking about moral ideas, but the precise arguments and examples are unclear.
- Fairness and inclusion: The book distinguishes prejudice from discrimination and discusses what people are doing to uphold fairness and equality for all. These issues are treated as civic and ethical concepts, with experiences from contributors used to connect them to people’s lives.
- Worth knowing
- Pay attention to how the book distinguishes prejudice from discrimination and presents justice and democracy. These concepts may prompt questions about how values operate in society and whose views influence shared principles.
