Why are candles placed in the windows of irish homes on christmas eve?

Social Studies

Svetlanka [38]3 years ago

<span> On Christmas Eve, an Irish family who wanted to have a priest come stay in their home and offer them the sacraments would covertly signal this request with a candle lit in the window. The people would leave the door to their home unlocked and the traveling priest would offer to say mass in exchange for their hospitality, starting a tradition that would last for many years to come. Hope this helped. </span>

Governments are important because why?
swat32
Governments have many functions, but most importantly:

- they organize defense of a country: we are stronger together than separately!
- they provide (or at least should!) things that everyone needs but noone has an incentive to do on their own: infrastructure, care of elderly, general health care (it's actually cheaper for the whole society to be in a social care program than to deal with the lack of it!)

Describe the effects that overconfidence and framing can have on our judgments and decisions
IrinaK [193]
- Overconfidence could make you fail to see the potential threats that would hinder your judgment/decision because you're too full of yourselves.
- Framing would make it easier for you to formulate proper concept or planning on what need should be done. This would help you in choosing the most efficient decisions from all available options.
