Read the Brook article and view the two videos (below), and address the questions that follow. Post your initial answer to the Discussion Board. Your answer should be approximately 200 words, achieving graduate-school quality standards. Include the word count of your answer. This is a graded writing assignment. Therefore, do not treat it like a chatroom. Provide your own insightful analysis, informed view reasoned arguments. Do not repeat the questions in your answer. Do not answer in a Q&A, or numbered format. Write in an essay format.
You are required to conduct some research and cite a scholarly source** in your answer (either providing a direct quote or paraphrasing something from that scholarly source and citing it correctly. If a direct quote is provided so must an explanation of its relevance). Should you fail to use and properly cite a scholarly source in this exercise, you will fail the assignment.
**Scholarly sources are found in the Troy library. I don’t want cited magazines, blogs, editorials, encyclopedias, or just googled websites.
(1) Is David Brooks and the researchers in his article simply getting older and espousing the classic lament, “Kids these days…” while shaking his head, or is he on to something more? Defend your position. Remember, no opinion!
The research he references is from Melinda Lundquist Denton, Lisa D. Pearce, and Christian Smith. (2008). Religion and Spirituality on the Path through Adolescence. Chapel Hill, NC: National Study of Youth and Religion.
(2) What are your thoughts on moral relativism or what Alasdair MacIntyre calls ‘emotivism’? (Defined in the article and videos). Ethnocentrism is judging someone from another culture through the lens of one’s own. What is the difference between ethnocentrism and pluralism? How does this question relate to the first one?
Don’t answer these questions one right after the other. Let the questions inform the construction of a comprehensive answer.
Consider the reading for this week and the lecture for material to utilize in your answer.
Don’t cite a book if you aren’t looking at the book but a book review. Don’t cite an article if you aren’t looking at an article but a website that talks about the article. Look at scholarly sources. See the brief video on using the Troy Library to access scholarly journal articles. Do not use Google or Wikipedia as your graduate scholarly sources.
