Discuss the Ways in Which Way Value Judgments Should and Should Not Be Used in Different Areas of Knowledge.

Values, as defined by Webster's Dictionary, are principles, standards, or qualities considered worthwhile or desirable by a human being.

Roosevelt wanted to ensure the security and well-being of his fellow people and did so from the bottom of his heart. Although his measures were somewhat extreme, they were working, and this is seen through federal funding
