Learning to Care : Elementary Kindness in an Age of Indifference Hardback
by Robert (Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor of Social Science; Director of the Center for the St Wuthnow
Hardback
Description
Wuthnow, a noted sociologist of religion, here improves our understanding of kindness in American life, and how people became kind and caring.
He examines a cross-section of young volunteers to see how habits are cultivated before adulthood, and paints a compelling picture of the role of families, mentors, and institutions in the moral life of teenagers.
In doing so he sheds light on the true nature of voluntarism and moral education.
