b. Basic concepts of the feminist theory

d. Components of distributive justice
ANS: A
There are three tenets of both policy and ethics. The approach is based on the voice of the com-munity as the foundation on which policy is developed. The basic concept of feminist theory al-lows us to think critically about connections among gender, disadvantage, and health as well as the distribution of power in public health processes. The goal of virtue ethics is to enable persons to flourish as human beings. Distributive justice requires that there be a fair distribution of the benefits and burdens in society based on the needs and contributions of its members.
