The chapter discusses the subject of values and moral judgement. This begins with what is meant by values, and whether or not they can be objective and absolute. The main business of the chapter is to present a philosophical argument about the nature of this area. The argument shows that the existence of a standard which can properly command the allegiance of all free agents can be neither proved nor disproved using the tools of reason and logic. It is argued that the absence of such a standard would tend towards isolation of individuals from one another. Finally, it is pointed out that what people are most drawn to and value highest is not well captured in terms of purely impersonal abstractions. This is a pointer towards the journey beyond atheism. The interplay of reason and faith is then discussed.

Abstract Background Whereas experience and cognitive maturity drives moral judgement development in most young adults, medical students show slowing, regression, or segmentation in moral development during their clinical years of training. The aim of this study was to explore the moral development of medical students during clinical training. Methods A cross-sectional sample of medical students from three clinical years of training were interviewed in groups or individually at an Australian medical school in 2018. Thematic analysis identified three themes which were then mapped against the stages and dimensions of Self-authorship Theory. Results Thirty five medical students from years 3–5 participated in 11 interviews and 6 focus groups. Students shared the impacts of their clinical experiences as they identified with their seniors and increasingly understood the clinical context. Their accounts revealed themes of early confusion followed by defensiveness characterised by desensitization and justification. As students approached graduation, some were planning how they would make moral choices in their future practice. These themes were mapped to the stages of self-authorship: External Formulas, Crossroads and Self-authorship. Conclusions Medical students recognise, reconcile and understand moral decisions within clinical settings to successfully reach or approach self-authorship. Curriculum and support during clinical training should match and support this progress.

O uso abusivo de álcool por adolescentes é uma questão que preocupa os envolvidos com a educação, uma vez que as consequências desse fato podem gerar sérios prejuízos ao processo ensino-aprendizagem e ao adolescente que abusa. Com o objetivo de contribuir para o debate na busca de uma intervenção efetiva que possa ser utilizada, sobretudo nas escolas, procuramos detectar a possível relação entre uso abusivo de álcool e raciocínio moral. Para tanto, participaram alunos do ensino médio de uma escola pública, selecionados por meio da aplicação do AUDIT (The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test), que posteriormente foram entrevistados, conforme a Moral Judgement Interview (MJI) proposta por Kohlberg. Os resultados obtidos revelam níveis e estágios morais aquém dos esperados. Concluímos que a prevenção pode ser pensada por meio da Educação Moral como uma proposta de intervenção efetiva contra o uso abusivo de álcool e outras drogas.

Islam has been known as a religion of Rahmatn lil’alamiin which guarantees inclusion and maintains a treatise on all humanity. However, the interpretation of universality of Islam does not meet a common understanding even though within Muslim community itself. Those diverse interpretations have resulted in how the universality of Islam has been expressed. One of those quarrels toward interpretation is the discussion of Islam Nusantara. West Sumatera is one of the regions in Indonesia which implements Islamic law as its customary law in which rejection against Islam Nusantara has been echoed across the borders. The rejection caused reactions from various parties since West Sumatera strongly stated the rejection as a way for preserving it. Those dispute has been sharpened by the online news in several Indonesian media that began to raise the phenomenon up. This research aim to find out how those medias frame the news and whether online media contribute on minimizing public tensions. This research used descriptive method with qualitative approach. The source of the data focused on Indonesian online media news on 2018 and was analyzed with framing analysis from Robert N. Entman and also using the concept of treatment recommendation as an analyzes of dispute resolution. The results discovered that media with its framing analysis technique has their own moral judgement and treatment recommendation as a form of dispute resolution towards discourses in the media. This moral judgment can show the tendency and alignment of a media regarding an issue. In addition, the media also has an important role in developing the audience’s mindset in the midst of dispute it can be analyzed from the treatment recommendation that can be used as a media based dispute resolution.   Islam merupakan agama rahmatan lil ‘alamiin dan bersifat universal serta hadir sebagai sebuah risalah seluruh umat manusia. Akan tetapi, pemaknaan terhadap universalitas Islam tidak seragam terlebih pemaknaannya bagi kalangan umat Islam itu sendiri. Hal ini menimbulkan banyak interpetasi yang bermacam-macam untuk mengekspresikan universalitas Islam ini. Salah satu bentuk interpretasi ini adalah munculnya istilah Islam Nusantara yang kembali menuai perdebatan. Sumatera Barat merupakan salah satu wilayah di Indonesia dengan hukum Islam dan adatnya yang sangat kuat menolak pengistilahan ini. Penolakan ini menimbulkan banyak reaksi dari beberbagai pihak. Hal ini dikarenakan, Sumatera Barat yang sangat menjaga kelestarian budayanya menolak wacana ini yang memiliki visi samaseperti yang dimiliki Sumatera Barat. Arena pertarungan ini diperluas oleh adanya pemberitaan di media-media online Indonesia yang mulai mengangkat fenomena ini. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menemukan bagaimana media membingkai pemberitaan dan apakah media juga memiliki peran untuk meminimalisasi ketegangan yang terjadi antara pihak yang bertikai. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Sumber data yang diperoleh mengacu pada pemberitaan media online mainstream Indonesia pada tahun 2018 dan dianalisis dengan menggunakan teknik analisis framing media model Robert N. Entman dan treatment recommendation sebagai bentuk dispute resolution wacana di media. Hasil dari penelitan ini mengungkapkan bahwa dalam pembingkaian sebuah berita, media memiliki moral judgement-nya masing-masing. Moral Judgement ini yang dapat memperlihatkan arah atau keberpihakan suatu media terhadap suatu isu. Selain itu, media juga memiliki peranan penting dalam mendewasakan khalayak di tengah konflik. Hal ini terlihat dari adanya treatment recommendation yang dapat digunakan sebagai dispute resolution berbasis media.
