2.         Values (Choose one)

 

The Values section addresses two different value dimensions of public policy. First, public policy choices are made within a context of assumed values and preferences. Second, we assess policy choices and their consequences in light of ethical arguments and claims. Values courses contribute to the student's capacity for reflection about normative aspects of public policy. What is the idea of the good that we seek to achieve through a specific policy? Values courses may also introduce the student to analytic tools for assessing the ethical implications of public policy choices.
