Providing decision-making data
Description:
Giving an individual the information he needs to participate in self-conscious decision-making. The effect is to afford access for every individual to a comprehensive body of facts and concepts from which he may glean the data relevant to his particular situation; and to unveil a wide variety of alternative decisions and actions. Context:
An integral part of formulating collective opinion by enabling the individual to use the comprehensive data and consensus methodology which will involve him in decision-making processes. Implementation:
Tactics include: commissioning spokesmen to give people the style and methods to inform specific audiences, allowing their responsible participation in decision-making; dispersing informative written material strategically in all geo-social areas; providing centres which make information vital to decision-making readily accessible to whole neighbourhoods; employing the media to impact the mass audience with relevant facts and images through television, radio, records, newspapers and films; and utilizing art forms to imaginally impact the community with the necessary data for decision-making, via comic strips, paintings and poems. An example is a parent who becomes able to improve the schools that his children attend because he has a wealth of knowledge about educational theories, methods and structures. Facilitates:
