Basic motives and values

Arguments about different value concepts are a central component of ethical reflection. Arguments are formed to support specific value judgements.

Kelly Doyle Kim and this new Smithsonian museum are writing women into Wikipedia

It’s called the ‘great man theory‘: the idea that large swaths of human history can be explained by the actions of so-called great men. 

These days, that theory has been resoundingly discredited—but popular history’s long reliance on it has contributed towards an imbalance of stories told about women in the history learned in schools and elsewhere. 

Whose Knowledge? — A movement for inclusive representation on Wikipedia
