The Formation of Conscience in an Age of Technology.
Green, Thomas F.
American Journal of Education, v94 n1 p1-32 Nov 1985
Explores characteristics of conscience in a technological society, describing conscience in the context of (1) craft; (2) membership; (3) sacrifice; (4)memory; and (5) imagination. Draws upon ancient and contemporary roots to build the discussion. Concludes with a challenge to society's institutions to provide "rootedness" and "vision" for balance in guiding public policy. (SA)
