INTRODUCTION OF KEYNOTE SPEAKER • Dr. Janet Hale, Senior Lecturer, Department of Finance and Economics
Dissent is the heart of social and political change, and change is at the heart of the American democratic system. Dissent is patriotic and virtuous because it encourages constructive criticism of the prevailing system in order to make it more just. Blind patriotism without an ethical framework and commitment to the community is an obstacle to being a good leader. This session questions many American’s views on patriotism and the role of dissent and civil disobedience in our society.
