Cómo actuar de manera informada (How to Take Informed Action)

In order for any democracy to function well, understanding how and when to compromise is a necessity. This book introduces students to how compromise makes governing possible. Using examples of how compromise works in their own lives, students will gain a better understanding of how compromise work on a larger level. Conversely, readers will also learn that compromise may be the wrong course of action in some situations and that some issues are of such critical importance or high moral worth that standing firm is appropriate.

Equality is a contentious issue in our society today. This is why it's important for students to be given information related to equality so they can come to reasonable conclusions of their own. Using age-appropriate language, this book discusses equality in a number of different forms and touches upon why equality is so important in a democracy. The text also explores how extreme equality, like most extremes, could be a bad and unrealistic idea. Readers will gain enough information to understand and think about this complex idea for themselves.

What is the common good and how does it benefit society? This book looks at the history behind the notion of the common good, touching on ideas from several famous philosophers. Readers will then learn how the common good can be promoted through education and community.

Important elementary subjects from the C3 Framework for Social Studies are discussed in detail throughout this informative book.
