10/28/2008

(Program 14439)
Guests: James Bowman

The last time we were together, we began a two part series on the question of honor. Our guest, James Bowman, gave us an overview of the history of honor, its changing connotation in Western Culture throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, and how that change has played out nationally and globally. A fascinating discussion which leads us to the questions, "Is honor necessary to the individual and to a nation, and what would it take to restore honor to an exalted position within today's Western culture? What has taken honor's place in our culture today? How deeply seated is it in the contemporary mindset? Can an honor culture be restored? Should an honor culture be restored?
