Hi all,
In March, Karen Armstrong made her TED Prize wish: http://www.ted.com/index.php/speakers/karen_armstrong.html Her wish was for a Charter for Compassion where all the world's religions come together for peace. It's now time to start writing (http://charterforcompassion.com/). "People of all nations, all faiths, all backgrounds, are invited to contribute. By recognizing that the Golden Rule is fundamental to all world religions, the Charter for Compassion can inspire people to think differently about religion. This Charter is being created in a collaborative project by people from all over the world. It will be completed in 2009. Use this site to offer language you'd like to see included. Or inspire others by sharing your own story of compassion." This could provide for some interesting class discussion in social psych or the social psych section of intro. Or, if you have a class wiki or use other collaboration tools, students could write their own charter.
