The premise of this book is that individuals and societies have an
inexorable urge to morally develop by challenging the assumptions
of the previous generation in terms of what is right and wrong. The
focus is on the nature and functional value of conflicts and
challenges to the dominant moral and social values framework.
Through this analysis, individuals develop moral character through
conflict with their local authority figures, including parents. The
moral structure of societies evolves through intergenerational
challenges to and contradictions with the dominant social order.
The book is divided into three parts to help frame this discussion:
*Part I directly takes up the issue of resistance as it occurs at a
cultural level, and the implications of such resistance for moral
education and socialization.
*Part II explores the normative forms of adolescent resistance and
contrarian behavior that vex parents and teachers alike.
*Part III brings back the issue of societal structure and cultureto
illustrate how negative features of society--such as racial
discrimination and economic disparity--can feed into the
construction of negative moral identity in youth posing challenges
to moral education.
Taken together, this collection presents a rich counterpoint to the
pictures of moral growth as the progressive sophistication of moral
reasoning or the gradual accretion of moral virtues and cultural
values. It will benefit those in developmental, social, and
cognitive psychology, as well as sociology, political science, and
education.
