Learning Civil Courage: A Citizens' Perspective
Educational Researcher, v50 n9 p679-681 Dec 2021
Civil courage refers to the behavior where people actively intervene to protect a victim in a concrete situation of injustice despite the risk of becoming a victim themselves. To act with civil courage, one requires competencies that relate to prosocial values as well as the physical and social ability to act. In this context, this brief reports the opinions of 2,046 respondents--representatives of Germany with respect to age, gender, and region--on what, according to them, are the best contexts for learning civil courage. "At home and/or from family" as well as "through volunteering" are considered the most suitable contexts to learn civil courage. In contrast, television, social media, and the internet are considered the least supportive contexts.
