| Abstract | American democratic society is sustained through debate among its citizens. Four sets of value tensions--(1) law versus ethics, (2) private wealth versus common wealth, (3) freedom versus equality, and (4) unity versus diversity--are central in allowing citizens to address matters of public interest through debate. These value pairs are the intellectual tools and language with which students acquire the skills of a democratic mind and thoughtful citizenship. This article expands on these four sets of value tensions. It also examines the Great Depression as a case study through the lens of the four value tensions. (Contains 1 table.) (ERIC). |
