Dear TIPSters,
Today in my Psychology of Laughter, Mirth, and Humor course, the discussion
will center around Charlie Hebdo, and whether simply because one has the
right to offend, should one? Where does free speech come in and cultural
sensitivities in humor? I haven't read much discussion of this on TIPS and
I'd appreciate reading comments--especially since I have one particularly
outspoken student who is very opinionated ("...free speech trumps
everything..."). I'm going to need to keep a close rein on how the
discussion unfolds, and so I want to give it some more thought.
Thanks for any and all comments,
je suis Carol-- Carol DeVolder, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology St. Ambrose University 518 West Locust Street Davenport, Iowa 52803 563-333-6482 --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
