Normative Economics

Note: I will separate each posts into an easy part and a hard part, indicated by a line. 

Green Arrow: Does everything have a sinister motive in your world? 
The Question: Yours too; you just don't know it.
Justice League, "Fearful Symmetry"


The easy definition:

Normative statements are well, normal. Except that they're biased. But that's normal too. A rule of thumb is that if they cannot be proved or disproved with facts or evidences, they're normative. Another rule of index would be that if they're said by the main hero or the villain, they're usually normative as well. Yes, I just totally tried to ruin movies for you.

The nerd definition: Saying normative statements forced the user to stand on the pedestal of evaluation. One might use a certain standpoint - be it religious, philosophical or legal.
