Value & Criteria Project
June 16-23
 

Value & Criteria Project

Use this file to complete your project.

To understand the relationship of values and criteria, we are going to go car shopping.  Consider the following values in a car:

Safety
Price
Luxury
Reliability
Performance
Space
Economy
Comfort
Popularity

You will determine what criteria a car would have to meet those particular values.  For example:  A criterion for safety might be a car's crash test ratings.  Those results can show how a car meets the value of being safe. 

For each value, determine two criteria.  Then research cars to find the type that best fits your value and criteria.

After that, define your top and bottom two values.  For example, explain what safety would mean in terms of cars. 

Finally, for your top value, determine three contentions or arguments you can make in support of it and/or your criteria.
