Understanding the justifications for food policies through political theory: a method for public policy analysis by Thomas, O

“…These include: the vending machine ban in schools in France; the front-of-pack labelling law in Chile; the various taxes and tariffs on sugar in a number of Pacific Island countries; the sugar-related information campaigns in New York City; and finally, the new restrictions on the placement of high-in fat, salt and sugar foods in supermarkets in the UK. Following the development of a revised method of <em>engaged philosophy</em>, I analysed these different case studies through the political theories of Perfectionism, Liberalism and Communitarianism. …”

Conditional prosociality in development: deconstructing social and materialistic factors that modulate early prosocial behavior by Lee, Kristy Jia Jin

“…In the Transgression condition, the transgressor broke a clock and falsely accused the non-transgressor of the misdeed; in the Control condition, the clock broke through no fault of the actresses. Children reported the transgressor's misbehavior (thereby absolving the non-transgressor of misplaced blame), distributed resources more favorably to the non-transgressor, evaluated the transgressor less positively on moral goodness, and displayed a social preference for the non-transgressor. …”
