How to Develop Critical Thinking about Inter-Group Relations in the Geometry Classroom

Science has made tremendous progress in the last century. It has been able to eliminate many if not all of our old superstitions about nature. It has replaced man's fear of his unknown, natural environment with a knowledge and confidence in his ability to make a reasonable explanation of the happening of nature. This remarkable progress in science and the understanding of natural happenings has happened largely because man has allowed his intellect and reasoning ability to have precedence over his emotions and fears. He has been able to view the scientific facts objectively thus displacing emotional action due to superstition by intelligent action and empirical experimentation based on sound logical reasoning.
