31. PAF101 Module 1, Lecture 2 “If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. DO GOOD ANYWAY.” ~??????????

32. Mother Teresa • August 26, 1910 - September 5, 1997 • “Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.” — Mother Teresa

33. 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?

34. Mother Teresa –A Genuine Do-Gooder Be Self-less --No Give it your all --No Be competent—Yes

35. Public Policy Is About Doing Good • Declaration of Independence is the mission statement for our public policy in America and the rest of the world.

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

37. 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.

38. Let’s Look At the Problem of Poverty • Analytical Approach—Minimum standards for everyone in health, education, safety, etc. • Rhetorical/BS Approach—Inequality and the gap between the rich and the poor

39. Who Is To Blame • The System---Capitalism generates inequality which generates poverty • The Individual---People don’t accept their responsibility for their own success • Where do you think the blame is in pollution?

40. Poverty • Capitalism is based on competition where merit is valued more than equality • Poverty is a necessary by-product and a major cause of societal problems • Reducing the negative effects of poverty

41. Why We Fall Short of the Goals of the Declaration of Independence • Foolish Freedom The pursuit of freedom as an end in itself threatens the public interest. “Give me liberty or give me death” -Patrick Henry

42. Examples of Foolish Freedom • Substance abusers • Talkers on car phones 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.

43. Foolish Freedom and Poverty • Middle and upper class don’t want to share • Lower class do not take advantage of opportunities

44. Effective Public Policy Requires • Enlightened Self-Interest which means more people acting in the public interest • Solid information and analysis
