- W908784193 abstract "AbstractWarren Bennis' recent article in Bloomberg BusinessWeeki asks whether or not the study of world religions belongs in our business schools. While he sees that the provocative nature of his inquiry lies in the word religion, his argument is largely instrumental in the sense that such a study would facilitate our instructional efforts to create within our students a global (cosmopolitan) mindset. An area into which he does not tread is whether or not there might be teachings which could be used for inspirational purposes when it comes to encouraging better, more ethical behavior on the part of our students now and in the future, and, if so, a basis for identifying which of such teachings would not offend current norms (legal or otherwise) of religious separation. The authors argue that such use can be made but only in cases of teachings having universal recognition. In support of their argument, the authors seek to explain how it is that so many divergent civilizations have come to a centrally held belief that we should treat others as we would want to be treated, a belief commonly referenced as the Golden Rule within the Judaic Christian tradition. It is the authors' position that the universality of such a rule justifies its use for instructional (inspirational) purposes and that the Story of the Good Samaritan is just one historic example of its teaching. When it comes to an explanation of the universality of such a belief, the authors rely on findings from the disciplines of neuroscience and bioethics which now have made clear the organic, innate nature of such belief, a reality which makes its exact cause (by design or evolution) irrelevant. Thus, such an explanation makes less likely a successful challenge to the use of such a parable based on the First Amendment.IntroductionAddressing any topic associated with religion in a business school context has to be viewed justifiably as provocative (needlessly or otherwise) especially when one teaches at a state funded and supported school. Warren Bennis' article readily recognizes this fact but then justifies his discussion of the diversity of faiths on the bases of its instrumental importance to increasing students' global awareness. This sense of provocation is rooted in the age-old conflict between religious belief and science when it comes to the origin of life on our planet, a conflict which began with the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species,^sup1^ and its theoretical construct natural selection.^sup2^ In a very real sense, this conflict has now gone nearly full circle as research findings in neuroscience, biochemistry and bio-ethics have established certain commonalities across certain mammalian species that cannot be explained totally from exogenous factors. In fact, at least in one instance, a biochemist, Michael J. Behe, PhD, argues from his scientific findings that the origins of life simply cannot be explained without resort to some form of intelligent design.^sup3^ In any event, it is now clear that mankind does share certain characteristics (albeit by evolution or design) that help explain some universalities of belief shared across generations of mankind regardless of the presence or absence of any faith in God.^sup4^ It is the authors' contention that the existence of these universalities and their manifestation in religious writings can be used as appropriate pedagogical illustrations to inspire students to realize their connection to their fellow man and the necessity for them to act ethically in that regard. The authors use the Parable of the Good Samaritan to illustrate their point.^sup5^The paper will be divided into the following parts. First, the paper briefly reviews the law as it relates to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Second, mention is made of the insightful contributions coming from the scientific community including, but not limited to, cognitive psychology, bioethics and neuroscience. …" @default.
