to the what? Flag? State? Church? What if I said that all of these are wrong. Could you agree with that? What about, "I pledge allegiance to my friends, my family, my country?" How do you feel about that? Where should our allegiance lie... and before you answer, think about where your allegiances lie today? Sports? Shopping? Television? Politics? Vices? What are the implications of our allegiances? This week I want to review a bit about what we're trying to do through this class and what changes we are (or try) making. Consider your allegiances and decide if what you say is exemplified in how you live. If not, why?
Modernists can be defined as thoughtful people who are willing to commit to things through pledges (covenants) in a number of different venues (God, marriage, family, church, state, social & political affiliations, etc.)with conviction & endurance.
ReplyDeletePostmoderns find it difficult to commit to anything with conviction, even the most simple of things such as making specific social plans, getting to things on time, much less anything they would be willing to suffer for...
What will happen when the modernists are gone and no longer form the backbone of our society?
Now those comments get the wheels turning. I would add two things that I've found.... 1) "Modernists" are also more likely to post comments on my blog (thank you), and 2) more likely to use terms like "modernists" and "postmoderns." :-)
