Cómo promover el bien común (How to Promote the Common Good)

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.

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.

In the United States, the ability to take informed action is becoming increasingly necessary, and difficult. This book delves into the importance of being informed and explains how not all sources of information are equal. Readers are introduced to the scientific method as a way of testing information for credibility. Students will also learn how to turn credible information into action by forming groups, protesting, contacting elected representatives, and possibly even running for office themselves someday.
