Community: The Neglected Tradition of Public Health

Hastings Center Report 15 (6):28-36 (2012)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The dominant language of politics in the United States has been political individualism, with minimal restrictions on property and personal, voluntary conduct. But there are second languages of community that stress cooperation and group action. These second languages include the constitutional tradition for public health. Public health offers a community justification for paternalistic measures that, for example, discourage smoking or require seatbelts.
