== An article by David Brooks - "If it feels right ..."
|
|
|
|
=== Summary
|
|
|
|
The article "If it feels right...",
|
|
written by David Brooks and published by the New York Times on the 9th of september in 2011
|
|
is about how young adults percieve right and wrong.
|
|
Brook and his team asked questions in an empirical study, regarding these question of morality or ethics,
|
|
after which they categorized their results.
|
|
They found that most of the 230 people they interviewed,
|
|
to them, didn't have any ethical standing and just regarded it as a matter of individual opinion.
|
|
The team then assumed teenagers, if given more ressources, would cultivate their moral intuitions.
|
|
|
|
=== Destroying a point (lightly)
|
|
|
|
A first point that can be used to critisize this very well made article by Mr. Brooks,
|
|
would be the lacking dataset, 230 individuals interview is in any shape or form way ot lackluster to form any meaningfull conclusion,
|
|
as the reiterate 230 young adults wouldn't even make up a single school, and with that can't be seen representation of an entire generation.
|
|
|
|
Secondly, not only is Brook overstating the importance of how 230 people solved his survey,
|
|
he is also judging this directly and comparing their thoughts with his, but also tries paint them in a negative light.\
|
|
This is seen, when comparing he states that "moral thinking didn't enter the picture", regarding a way of thinking, which is not his own,
|
|
as unmoral and as something that could be cultivated upon to the state which Brook sees as good.\
|
|
Directly categorizing that morality is based on the percerption of an individual is by that quickly thrown into the bin of having a non-cultivated moral intuition,
|
|
with no further description for why it should be seen as such.
|
|
|
|
Thirdly, the article also uses negativly connoted words together with the "youth of today" almost like a clockwork,
|
|
creating a dogmatic impression to readers, which they would then apply to many of a generation.
|
|
An example of such writing can be seen in the "#underline[depressing]" result, "#underline[groping] to say anything sensible" or the "#underline[rambling] answers"
