Reasoning with Democratic Values 2.0 by David E Harris
The extensively updated edition presents an engaging approach to teaching U.S. history that promotes critical thinking and social responsibility. In Volume 2, students investigate 19 significant historical episodes beginning with the era of expansion and reform and ending with problems facing Americans in the contemporary era. A comprehensive Instructor's Manual is available."Reflection upon the sources of our ethical views is imperative in our present momentAt a time marked by polarization and incommensurate moral disagreement, citizens must practice a rather heroic form of civility and sober examination of opposing views. Reasoning with Democratic Values 2.0 provides both the raw material and appropriate structure for students to develop these habits, and it will undoubtedly earn a place in many American history classrooms."
—The Journal of Social Studies Research (for second edition)
"These volumes are engaging, clearly and imaginatively written, and frequently invite sophisticated thinking about difficult ethical issues within U.S. History. Through the well-selected stories, students will indeed recognize that history is replete with ethical issues that intricately intertwine with democratic values. Students will also find a refreshing departure in these books from the staid historical writing that sometimes plagues other history texts. Through well-designed readings and learning activities, these new editions accomplish what the authors’ intended—to promote social responsibility through informed and ethical use of democratic values."
—Theory & Research in Social Education (for second edition)
“Among the best supplementary materials for U.S. history known to this reviewer. The cases are provocative; they stimulate student interest, they promote a depth of historical understanding often absent from history instructional materials, and they promote important student skills. The curriculum is a fine blend of historical content and thoughtful pedagogy, systematically structured to promote social responsibility among students—one of the enduring instructional goals of social studies education.”
—Social Education (for first edition)
“Reflective, engaging, and timely, volume II of Reasoning with Democratic Values 2.0: Ethical Issues in American History positions readers to move beyond being a passive consumer of history and take up a sophisticated examination of ethical dilemmas within American history.”
