Grounded in path-breaking research but written in an accessible, engaging style Moral Talk Across the Lifespan explores how our most fundamental moral commitments are shaped by crucial conversations with family members, romantic partners, and friends. Taking a lifespan approach, the authors demonstrate that moral growth is a continual process, one stimulated by transitions (e.g., leaving home for university) and disruptive events (serious illness). With chapters penned by leading relationship scholars, the volume contributes original thinking, data, and innovative theoretical pathways for researchers. For instructors it explores pressing moral questions encountered by students in their own relationships with romantic partners, friends, parents, and other family members. When is revealing a secret the right thing to do ? Is revenge ever a worthy response to an insult or sleight ? Why are young adults persuaded to accept some of their parents' values but not others ? Is there a right (or wrong) way to support a parent facing a terminal illness ? Moral Talk Across the Lifespan offers a stimulating blend of social science research and moral reflection. It is a key text for courses in Relational Communication, Family Communication, Interpersonal Communication, and Communication Ethics.

Moral Talk Across the Lifespan - Creating Good Relationships

Plutôt que de nous déposer continuellement, nous devons travailler dur pour nous concentrer sur nos positifs, en nous concentrant sur ce qui nous rend uniques et sympathiques. Nous avons tous des choses que nous changerions si nous le pouvions. Même les gens qui, selon nous, ont tout, ne le faites pas. Personne n'a tout parce que personne n'est parfait. Nous réalisons tous cela et continuons à nous critiquer et à nous insulter. Il est maintenant temps d'arrêter ce non-sens! Changez ce que vous pouvez changer et acceptez le reste comme une partie nécessaire de votre propre humanité unique. Faites la paix avec qui vous êtes.
