Moral Values (Part 1 of 8)
美式道德 (八段中的第一段)
Do Americans have any morals? That's a good question. Many people insist that ideas about right and wrong are merely personal opinions.
Some voices, though, are calling Americans back to traditional moral values. William J. Bennett, former U.S. Secretary of Education,
edited The Book of Virtues in 1993 to do just that. Bennett suggests that great moral stories can build character.
The success of Bennett's book shows that many Americans still believe in moral values. But what are they?
美國人還有道德嗎？這是個好問題。許多人堅持對與錯乃是個人的意見。但是，還是有些人在呼喚美國人回到傳統的道德價值裡去。
威廉．班奈特，前任美國教育部長，正是為了此目的而在一九九三年編輯了「美德」這本書。班奈特認為偉大的道德故事可以建造性格。
班奈持這本書的成功顯示了許多美國人仍然相信道德的價值。但是它們到底為何？
