It is important because it shapes the world around us and can lead to positive change. When Conscience Calls explores the reasons why some individuals find the courage to speak out, while others do not, and argues that moral courage stems from one's identity, core values, and capacity to believe in the possibility of change. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 256 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27 October 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: The University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is moral courage?

When tolerance disappears, truth becomes rare, and civilized discourse is a distant ideal, why do certain individuals find the courage to speak out when most do not? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhen Conscience Calls \u003c\/i\u003eoffers powerful portraits of ordinary people performing extraordinary acts—be it confronting presidents and racist mobs or simply caring for and protecting the vulnerable. Uniting these portraits is the idea that moral courage stems not from choice but from one’s identity. Ultimately, Kristen Renwick Monroe argues bravery derives from who we are, our core values, and our capacity to believe we must change the world. \u003ci\u003eWhen Conscience Calls\u003c\/i\u003e is a rich examination of why some citizens embrace anger, bitterness, and fearmongering while others seek common ground, fight against dogma, and stand up to hate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 x 18 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780226829098\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kristen Renwick Monroe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44761493438714,"sku":"9780226829098","price":19.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1699611768098_book.jpg?v=1699779759","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/when-conscience-calls-moral-courage-in-times-of-confusion-and-despair-9780226829098","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
