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

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.

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.
