ABSTRACT

Singly or in groups, you are to work on a civic proposal, chapter-by-chapter, topic-by-topic, throughout the rest of this text. You apply techniques and concepts as you learn them, culminating in a choice that you really trust, and would be prepared to act on. You need not limit your reasoning to course material, except to the extent that it helps. Blind faith in what pops out of a structured analysis is certainly not what I want to impart. Integrating what you learn into your everyday decisions is.
