Really well-written post that looks at the question of how we approach complex issues in our work and life. There is, of course, no shortage of these. Where do we even begin? Christina Hendricks looks at the issues as a web or a net where everything is interconnected, and you can respond only by tugging at it. But you need solid footing, she says, and one good place to start is our values. But are we doing enough to support people in this? "How much have I really spent time supporting students to  define and articulate their own values in addition to applying them through writing arguments?" I think there's a case to be made for this - though I like to think that, in addition to values, I draw my conclusions based on fact, evidence and experience as well.
