Promoting Moral Growth through Pluralism and Social Justice Education
Stewart, Dafina Lazarus
New Directions for Student Services, n139 p63-72 Fall 2012
Issues of morality, including deciding among competing values and negotiating obligations to self and community, are pervasive and saturate many aspects of life. This article explores the role of educating for pluralism and social justice in promoting moral growth among college students. James Rest's four-component model of moral maturity frames this discussion. The article concludes with implications and recommendations for the design and implementation of intentional diversity and social justice experiences.
