Based on the capability approach discussed in chapter 1, you should know the types of examples used by Draper & Ramsay, related to what societal members should be capable of doing in a “good society”. In this assignment, I want you to expound on their ideas (see chapter 1) , and provide at least 2 additional examples of the types of things (variables) that can be measured (observed), and possibly improve the lives of societal members based on each of the 4 necessary conditions. In other words, provide ideas outside of Draper and Ramsay that you believe would optimize the well-being of societal members. Make sure that you explain how your recommendations could improve people’s lives.
According to Draper and Ramsay, the following represent the minimal conditions needed in order for societal members to reach their full potential. Adopting Sen and Nussbaum’s approach to what constitutes a good society (or conditions essential for a good human life), Draper and Ramsay focus on:
Meeting physical needs
Insuring physical safety
Making informed decisions
Having democratic rights
You must review the required text for the types of examples already provided, and then create two (2) examples for each of the above conditions. There are no citations or references needed, but it must be clear that you read the required text, and that you are not duplicating examples already provided. This assignment should assist you in providing additional recommendations for a good society in your final written presentation. This is assignment is worth ten (10) points. The Chapter 1, Book Assignment 1 is due by 11:59 p.m. on May 24, 2024.
