Are we still the "shining city on the hill"?
During class we discussed Winthrop's speech "A Modell of Christian Charity", which discusses Winthrop's thoughts on why the Puritans were coming to America and the responsibilities they had in the New Land. He had specific qualities that the Puritans coming to the new land should demonstrate. Winthrop's speech and these qualities have been brought up in today's politics. If John Winthrop was alive today, what would he say about our society? Do you think he would admire the values we have or think we have corrupted our society?
