What is the difference between positive and normative economics?

Positive economics deals with the observations or predictions of the facts of economic life. For example, what will be the impact of an increase in wages on the price of a product?
 
Normative Economics is the value judgments about how economics should operate, based on certain moral principles or preferences. For example, what wage rate should be paid to the auto workers to make them an active member of the society?
