About this title

Reviews

Grade 10 Up-An examination of a wide range of complex issues confronting our culture and society. Primary-source articles explore two sides of such specific questions as whether or not public schools should provide character education, if religion is important to a moral society, and the role of the traditional family in maintaining our culture. Given the difficulty of the writing and subject matter, the questions that begin each article will be useful in helping readers to focus on essential points. However, the book is limited in that only two or three aspects of these complex questions are examined. A supplemental purchase.
