Moral Literacy - 0 views

  • Literacy, moral and other, is a matter of some knowledge-that, and a great deal of know-how.  It is a "capacity for knowing and doing, involving the symbolic manipulation of information as the condition for expressive action" (81).  To discover the connection between this capacity or set of skills and Herman's account of deliberation and choice, we have to look to what she says about the developmental history of moral character.

  • 49 per cent of young people believe that writing is “boring.” However, students who use technology-based texts such as blogs have more positive attitudes toward writing. Whereas 60 per cent of bloggers say that they enjoy writing, only 40 per cent of non-bloggers find writing enjoyable.
