People reveal their values in what they say and do: Ana speaks up for the bay at every council meeting. Organisations reveal theirs through their choices.
Adverts
- The brochure shows an empty, untouched beach.
The media
- A TV report is titled Jobs for Coral Bay.
Policies and actions
- The council cuts the tax on new hotels.
What the company says
- An eco-resort in harmony with nature.
What the company does
- Clears 40 hectares of mangrove.
When values collide: Luca and Ana cannot both get what they want from one plan. That pull is a tension. Organisations clash too: the fishing co-operative against the hotel company.
Where words and deeds point different ways, believe the deeds.

How this comes up: You are given a plan or an issue and asked how two groups might see it.
IB-style questionOutline[4 marks]
Outline how two different groups might see a plan to build a dam upstream of a farming town.
Model answer plan
See the mark-by-mark plan — for / against / judgement, with marking guidance — in study mode.
The trap: A stand with no reason is half a point. Farmers support it is half; add because it gives them water in dry years.
And give each group two points: four about one group cannot all count.
