| Περιγραφή: | This chapter focuses on voices that are not immediately understood as carrying crucial moral messages. In this study, forty-one South African and Swedish children aged ten to twelve years old were interviewed in 2019 about sustainability and hope. As a background to the analysis of the qualitative interviews the chapter introduces “childism,” which represents a theoretical rethinking and deconstruction of established norms that prioritize adults and hinder the recognition of children and young people as moral agents due to their age. The exploratory analysis of the interviews points to how care for water and care for human beings and their rights are virtues expressed in the interviews, as well as how the children articulate survival of planet Earth and its inhabitants as a crucial value. The study points in the direction of what could be called a “childist” ethics—in parallel to critical perspectives raised within social ethics, for example, by groups of women, people of color, or in today’s decolonizing debates. |
