This RD Extra features a lecture by Luke Galen entitled The Roots of Morality: Does Religion Play a Role or is the Tail Wagging the Dog? Grand Rapids Community College hosted and sponsored the event as part of the 2010-2011 Psychology Department Speakers Series. A pdf file of Luke's lecture slides can be downloaded here.
Description:
In
this presentation, Dr. Galen, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychology at
Grand Valley State University, will consider the root of morality and
pro-social behavior. Are we kind and considerate of others because
religion creates a set of rules and "commandments" or are these
behaviors a natural result of our evolutionary need to live in
community? Dr. Galen will also cover related topics such as why humans
construct religions and how religion can create prejudicial beliefs and
behaviors.
