Moral Imagination

When I first saw the phrase "Moral Imagination" I immediately thought of "morality as externalization of internal values" (I have been reading too much Schopenhauer!), but now see that it refers to the psychology of value judgements.

The "moral hypocrisy" found by Batson et all was not surprising to me; everything we do is for our own benefit, even the supposedly selfless acts. From an evolutionary standpoint, the individual need only appear moral to reap the karmic benefits of a moral life. If he/she can operate under such a guise while secretly fulfilling every desire, then there is great potential for personal power. Authority figures seem to necessarily operate according to this (though possibly not as malignantly as I have described).

Though it wasn't mentioned in the Pardale article, how would "Archetype" work differently from stereotype and prototype? Intuitively, I would say it is something like prototype... I feel a Google search coming!

I am interested in the relationship between the technological deficit and constraint in education. Is it static or dynamic? I understand the deficit, but what is the nature of the constraint? Also, I find the "taboo" of formal emotional education strange, since we do it incessently, though informally.
