Contents

  • Where values show
  • Exam-style question

People show their values in what they say and do: Tom spends every spring Saturday counting birds. Organisations show theirs too.

Adverts

  • The builder's poster shows children by a pond.

The media

  • The local paper's headline: Homes for our children.

Policies and actions

  • The council's target: 300 new homes a year.

What the builder says

  • We build in harmony with nature.

What the builder does

  • Drains the only marsh nearby.
When values clash: Maya and Tom want different things from one plan. That pull is a tension. It happens between organisations too: a wildlife charity against a building firm.

When an organisation's words and actions disagree, trust the actions.

The trap: A view with no reason is only half a point. The family supports it is half. The family supports it because their bills would fall is whole.

And cover both groups: four points about one group cannot all count.
