Morality

The majority of people in my class seemed to just accept the things that were said to them about homosexuals, rather than thinking critically about it. Sharon Westphal keeps saying "Think Critically. Test conclusions. Test claims." and yet, it seems that she doesn't really mean it- she just means "Test traditional conclusions. Test traditional or religious claims." It seems like people really don't want you to dig deeper into contemporary claims- such as the ethicity of abortion, or the morality of homosexuality. They want you to test Christian beliefs, and accept evolution and abortion and homosexuality and euthanasia and cloning and embryonic stem cell research, as facts of life, that are inherently neutral, or good. They want you to believe the claims that evolution is a law, and that abortion is a "woman's right". They want us to believe homosexuals are "born that way", and that euthanasia is merciful. They want us to see cloning and stem cell research as advances in technology, rather than as destroying it so that they can try to create or extend it.
