public interest spectrum

The public interest spectrum refers to the range of needs and concerns that society considers valuable and should be protected or promoted by government actions and policies. It includes things like public health, safety, fair justice, economic stability, and environmental sustainability. Policies on one end prioritize individual rights, while those on the other emphasize collective well-being. The spectrum helps balance personal freedoms with societal good, guiding decision-making to ensure that actions benefit the community overall without unjustly restricting individual liberties.
