    Key Terms

    Agenda-setting(describing how communities are excluded from deciding what public health prioritizes)
    The power to decide what topics, problems, or decisions get discussed and taken seriously—basically, controlling what matters.
    Deference to expertise(contrasted with merely prudent behavior)
    Accepting someone's advice or conclusions because they have special knowledge or training in that area, rather than figuring it out yourself.
    Systematically(as describing a consistent problem with voting methods)
    Happening as a regular pattern or built-in feature of how something works, rather than by accident or rarely.
    epistemic conditions
    Conditions such as space and time, without which we cannot cognize any object
    obligatory(deontic logic / possible worlds semantics)
