Preservation of cultural heritage

Reference no: EM133641055

The changing of school names and the removal of statues named after controversial historical figures present several ethical challenges. One of the primary dilemmas is finding a balance between preserving history and acknowledging the harm caused by these figures. Historical accuracy and the preservation of cultural heritage are important considerations, as renaming schools or removing statues may erase or distort historical narratives.

On the other hand, honoring individuals who perpetuated or supported morally objectionable practices can be seen as perpetuating harm and sending negative messages to marginalized communities. Schools and statues are symbols of public recognition and admiration, and their association with controversial figures can be deeply hurtful to those affected by historical injustices.

Another ethical challenge lies in determining who has the authority to make these decisions. The renaming of schools or removal of statues often involves a complex decision-making process that may include input from various stakeholders, such as community members, educators, historians, and government officials. Balancing diverse perspectives and ensuring a fair and inclusive decision-making process is crucial.

Solutions: For each of the ethical challenges written above I need to provide an ethically sound solution for each challenge. "Ethically sound" does not mean your proposed solution is definitively correct. It does not mean that your fellow students or your instructor will necessarily agree with it. All it means is that your solution is based upon a clear, cogent ethical framework, such as deontology, utilitarianism, or virtue ethics. Meaning, does not matter which side you take. What does matter is that you explain the ethical principles that support your proposed solutions.

Conclusion: In the final section, I need to sum up what you have learned about changing of school names and the removal of statues named after controversial historical figures and end with a call to action, tell your readers what they can do to help implement the solutions you have identified.
