Facilitate honest, thoughtful and respectful consideration of
controversial questions An exciting first edition, Congenial
Debates on Controversial Questions is designed to promote careful
and vigorous yet congenial and respectful examination of a wide
range of controversial ethical issues. It is unique in focusing
attention on two steps that are essential prior to productive
consideration of controversial questions: First, the elimination of
Straw Man distortions that cause students to not only talk past one
another but also to have a very negative view of those with whom
they disagree; and second, the importance of understanding that
those on the opposing side have legitimate and important concerns
that can be understood and appreciated even by those who strongly
disagree with their position. With those problems cleared away,
students can approach these difficult questions with openness to
the best arguments on both sides: not with the goal of meeting in
the middle, but of honestly appreciating the actual issues and the
complexities of those issues.Congenial Debates on Controversial
Questions is organized around 15 major current issues, including
the most vigorously debated contemporary social issues, such as
abortion, capital punishment, drug legalization, immigration,
same-sex marriage, church/state relations, the social
responsibilities of corporations, and animal rights. Learning Goals
Upon completing this book, readers will be able to: * Recognize the
misinformation and Straw Man arguments in daily conversations. *
Explore new perspectives on examining difficult issues. * Gain an
honest appreciation of the best points of differing views. NOTE:
