Despite often simplistic, black-and-white portrayals of good and
evil, children and adolescents face complicated moral issues that
can raise more questions than answers. Becoming aware of what
constitutes morality is only the first step in determining a course
of action, identifying and avoiding problems, and building
communities that nurture morality. Young people learn to define and
respond to moral dilemmas by interacting with and observing
numerous sources. They acquire knowledge from family members,
teachers, church leaders, peers, and members of neighborhood
organizations. Raising themes of cultural pluralism,
responsibility, complexity, affectivity, and practicality,
Nurturing Morality addresses such issues as: - Definitions of
morality that link past and current debates, enabling a more
thorough understanding of moral functioning. - Personal
responsibilities and impediments to moral functioning. - How
societal structures can facilitate or inhibit moral agency and
development. - The importance of acknowledging the common good as
well as individual accomplishments. - Nurturing morality through
wisdom. Drawing from a wide range of independent research programs,
Nurturing Morality makes clear that most forms of human interaction
are laden with moral content. It highlights thorny and complex
moral questions that cannot be resolved by simple adherence to
moral rules. And on the basis of empirically grounded findings,
contributors to this volume provide recommendations for how adults
can offer valuable guidance to young people learning to negotiate
life in a global society. For clinicians, researchers, and
students, Nurturing Morality provides much-needed insight and
advice on young people's moral development.
