In Next Medicine, Walter Bortz shows how the defects of American healthcare threaten the stability of our entire nation. A physician with fifty years of experience and an expert on aging, Bortz argues that the financial interests of biotech and drug companies have eroded the values of the medical profession and placed profit before human wellbeing. Heart disease, for example, is widely treated with drug interventions and invasive surgery--both of which are extravagantly profitable. But daily exercise and a healthy diet can prevent heart disease altogether--for free.

Political judgement is considered an important goal of civics lessons. When judging moral, political, or literary content, the focus is always on discovering connections between aspects that were originally not related. Existing knowledge about a domain-specific area is the basis for drawing conclusions about other knowledge. In this paper, it is showed how difficult it is to determine the quality of a political judgement in terms of content analysis or from a philosophical perspective. Political judgement is here understood as a competence. Judgement competence is the ability to argue based on justifications, weigh the facts, and decide about political matters in a way that is correct from a factual perspective. ln conclusion, the findings from two political didactics studies on political judgements are presented which reveal that quality is a problem in civics lessons.

Abstract
The author's purpose in this brief discussion piece is to suggest and describe a new ethos for engineering education and practice based on the themes of maintenance. Appreciating maintenance—the essential act and responsibility of repairing, restoring, renewing, refurbishing, and caring—can strengthen the link between engineering and civic goals in society, and could ultimately help boost the civic competencies of engineering.
"We live in complex times, with people asking many questions about what's best for their communities, their country, and the world. Sometimes, these conversations can be difficult. People have strong feelings, and they often disagree. So, how can we talk about civics in a way that helps rather than hurts other people? In this book, you'll learn how to research issues, develop strong arguments, listen to others, and debate in fair and productive ways"--
