Rocking with Religion Case Study
The teachers and administrators of Daniel Inouye Middle School near
San Francisco had put the finishing touches on their plans for the school’s
honors convocation.
They had selected Ramakrishna Patel and Rebecca
Rose, who were tied with the highest grades in the 8
th
grade, to be
recognized in a convocation ceremony.
Each student was asked to make a 7-
to-10-minute speech on the value of an education.
Because the faculty and
Dr. Hovestadt, the principal, wanted the district superintendent to be part of
the ceremony, they had agreed to schedule the event at 3pm. on the 4
th
Saturday in May, the superintendent’s only available time.
Dr. Hovestadt called the Patel and Rose families to inform them of their
children’s selection as convocation speakers.
As expected, both sets of
parents were delighted at the news of their son’s and their daughter’s
accomplishments and selection.
Mr. Rose indicated, however, that Saturday
was quite impossible because it was the Sabbath, a day of religious
observance and rest among Jew people, is from sundown on Friday until
sundown on Saturday.
1.
Is Mr. Rose being unreasonable?
a.
Mr. Rose is not being unreasonable.
2.
What is the event in question took place in a homogenous community
that was primarily Christian, and the Rose family was one of only two
Jewish families in the community? In a democracy, should the majority
rule?
a.
If this event took place in a homogenous community, the two
Jewish families would be the only ones celebrating. The other
families may not celebrate the day but respect the jewish while
they celebrate.
b.
I wouldn’t necessarily say the majority, but the people should
rule.
3.
How would you feel if you were a Christian living in a non-Christian
community and a major event that you were expected to attend was
scheduled on Christmas Day?
a.
I certainly would not be upset because I’m aware that they do
not celebrate my holidays and may not be aware of them.
However, I do expect them to respect my beliefs and wishes.
Especially if I state importance of this event to me.
4.
Do the rights of every individual have to be considered? Why or why
not?
a.
Yes, In the United States it does. It's in the constitution, everyone
has rights. These rights must be considered and respected at all
times.
