Produktbeschreibung
This volume analyzes the powerful normative codes, that for better or worse, shape moral character an ethical education in European countries, in the US, Australia, South Africa, and other late moder liberal societies. Drawing on a major interdisciplinary and international study, this volume analyses the shifting places and roles of these normative codes both in the traditional social spheres of family, religion, law, politics, and markets as well as in the new social spheres of education, academic research, health care, the media, and the military.

And all of these social systems must work, separately and together, to foster justice, freedom, benevolence, and peace at home and abroad.
