One way Wilensky believes that social sciences shape public policy is that they open people's minds and help them think about certain issues without any bias. An example Wilensky uses New Deal policies to demonstrate. The New Deal helped provide jobs, money, and housing for struggling Americans. These bills were not exclusive to people, meaning they were open to anyone who needed them, regardless of ethnicity, gender, health or age. If you needed help, the government was there to provide it, no matter what. The other way that Wilensky believes that social science shapes public policy is that he believes that social science pushes certain policies in a certain direction, meaning that people with certain ideas and favoritisms ingrained in their heads come to power, create support , and do what it takes to advance their ideas, whether for good or bad in a society. The New Deal was something that FDR had ingrained in his head when he brought it forward in the 1930s. Obama had universal healthcare for all in mind when he passed it and asked his people to pass it. Every person in power has an idea of ​​what they want to do, they hire people, create policies and do whatever it takes to make it happen because that's what they want, no matter if it helps or hurts
