11 Mother Teresa August 26, September 5, 1997 Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person. Mother Teresa

12 Leader of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive (the Nobel) in the name of people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone." Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for humanitarian work Leader of Missionaries of Charity, Calcutta Was in India at the time of the award

13 A Story About Mother Teresa She asks a rich businessman for a contribution as she held out her right hand He spit in her hand How did she respond?

14 Mother Teresa A Genuine Do-Gooder Be Selfless No Give it your all No Be competent Yes

15 Public Policy Is About Doing Good The Declaration of Independence is the mission statement for our public policy in the U.S.

16 Three Values of the Declaration of Independence Life Health and Personal Safety Liberty Speech and Choice Pursuit of Happiness Economic Opportunity Clean Environment

17 Declaration of Independence In your opening paragraph you use the phrase the Laws of Nature and Nature s God. What are these laws? In what way are they the criteria on which you base your central arguments? In the same paragraph, you refer to the opinions of mankind. Whose polling data are you using? If they are as evident as you claim, then it should not be difficult for you to locate appropriate statistics. I hope this critique will assist you in preparing a declaration that may receive serious consideration for the crown.

18 Propaganda Versus Analysis Propaganda consists of emotion-laden words that seeks to convince the listener that the writer is right Good analysis consists of: 1. Data 2. Clear language 3. Listener decides

19 Propaganda Give me liberty or give me death -Patrick Henry Nice tweet but that s why losers don t wear seatbelts

20 Effective Public Policy Requires Enlightened Self-Interest Solid information and analysis Problem-Solving

21 Why We Fall Short of the Goals of the Declaration of Independence Foolish Freedom The pursuit of freedom as an end, in itself, threatens every person and the public interest.

22 Examples of Foolish Freedom Substance abusers People who talk on the phone while driving Radar detectors People who refuse to work Criminals of all kinds Business leaders who care only about the bottom line Politicians who can t control their urge to win at all costs Students who use their smartphones in class to stimulate themselves

23 Underlying Tensions Order Freedom Equality Think about what the priority among these three value should be throughout the course

24 Priorities are a Bitch In your personal life The choices politicians make on where to develop policies should be based on what is most important for the entire society and not what some identity group wants really bad.

25 Students in this course can become genuine do-gooders Damia s Mission Video
