  • #5 KerryCommunitarian belief is that in order for individual rights and liberties to be preserved, there must be focus and commitment to social responsibilitiesIndividuals have respect for others as well as themselves; acknowledge personal and civic responsibilities; appreciation of rights of others and selves; have skills of self-government; learn to serve others
  • #6 Kerry – YouTube link
  • #7 KerryThere is recognition within the communitarian beliefs that a healthy society must have a correct balance between individual autonomy and social cohesionAlignment with core American values that define a community and benefit all members
  • #8 KerryFamily:Begin teaching moral education where each generation beginsMoral responsibility to provide material necessities (food, shelter, clothing) but also moral education (right vs. wrong, honesty, values) and character formation (courage, integrity, humility, reverence, optimism, justice)Schools:Step in where families are not providing moral education to children as they shouldThe teaching of moral education and character formation requires commitment from all in the community – those who have children and those who do notTeach values all Americans share (vs. one group’s morals), i.e. respect of all people, tolerance, acceptance, honesty, hard work, independenceSchools and teachers must take active role in young people’s lives
  • #9 KerryMoral Reasoning:Discourages selfish individualismEncourages putting responsibilities above rightsLess tempted to abuse power with known obligations to followers and communityEthical dialogue:Create framework – characterized by equality, openness, and honest – that encourages discussions of moral questionsEncourages dialogue and discussion within and between groupsCollaborative leadership:Solving problems based on partnershipDiverse groups working together to address civic and societal problems – housing, education, economicFocus on decision-making process rather than particular solutionMoral character:Fosters development of character by having strong emphasis on family, schools, congregation, governmentVirtuous citizens build strong moral charcter, which in turn build strong moral communities
  • #10 KerryWithin the health bill passed by the senate, several other little-noticed provisions are included:Main purpose of bill is to provide healthcare to Americans. The intention of the plan is to expand Medicaid and provide subsidies to help moderate-income people buy insurancePolitics aside – the main purpose of the bill is very communitarian in that it is putting forth the social responsibility to provide to all in the community vs. providing only to those individuals which can afford or who can obtain through employersWithin the bill there are provisions which also subscribe to communitarian beliefs – Programs would be created in which social workers/nurses could counsel pregnant women and new parents in low-income families. Parents could be taught practices and skills on how to interact with their children and provide age-appropriate developmentNutrition labeling required on vending machine contents and at restaurants (both with more than 20 locations). This informs and educates the public to promote better choices and health, prevent chronic diseases, reduce obesity – i.e. all things which will protect members of the community and promote longer, healthier livesEliminating taxation on domestic partner benefits to create equality in taxing policies and opportunities for all families to have affordable health coverage.
