What is one social issue you think Americans should be conscious about <br>​
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: What is social conscience, and why is it relevant?

Conscience can be described as internalised values: a person’s intuitive ‘moral compass.’

While rational, philosophical, or religious arguments are often used as justifications,

conscience itself is primarily emotional: we associate feelings of pleasure and pride with right

action, and feelings of guilt and shame with wrong action. These emotions help to motivate

choices and behaviour, playing an important role in the maintenance and transformation of

social norms. In many ways, the norms of society are the sum of our collective values and

priorities – as society shapes us, we shape society.

In addition to a sense of right and wrong for personal action, individuals possess a sense of

right and wrong for collective action – what might be called social conscience. Individual

conscience compels us to act morally in our daily lives, avoiding or helping to relieve the

immediate suffering of others, whereas social conscience compels us to insist on moral action

from the wider institutions of society and to seek the transformation of social structures that

cause suffering. While individual conscience is reflected in norms of personal interaction,

social conscience is reflected in the ways we organise ourselves more broadly.

Across the political spectrum, most people experience a gap between the kind of world they

see and the kind they want. On a personal level, social conscience is what bridges that gap. If

we can understand our own social conscience, we can make more conscious choices to help

shape society according to our values. If we can understand the social conscience of others,

we can find common values and goals among seemingly diverse groups and build movements

for change. Understanding social conscience, whether our own or others’, helps to identify

assumptions, values, and visions, making it an important element of sustainability literacy,

and a useful tool for effective social and ecological transformation.

To give an example, homelessness is an issue of both social and environmental sustainability

- while homeless people contribute least to pollution and environmental destruction, they are

the first to suffer from them. Homelessness may or may not be on the moral ‘radar’ of

someone who is not experiencing it first-hand; it may be considered a normal part of city life

– a non-issue, morally speaking. If considered an issue, a person becoming homeless might be

seen as the result of unlucky coincidence, personal failure, punishment for sins, or particular

social forces. These four examples are not mutually exclusive, but each fits into a particular

kind of worldview dominated by random chance, individual choice, divine will, or complex

social systems, respectively, and would elicit a particular kind of response – charity, tough

love, evangelism, or social change. Each person’s worldview influences the way they treat

new information or experiences, but information itself only sometimes has an impact on

worldview. Raising consciousness of an issue, while important, is only one element of

motivating action to transform it.

Write summary of air pressure belt on the globe using mind map
serg [7]

Explanation: Since air has mass, it also has weight. The pressure of air at a given place is defined as a force exerted in all directions by virtue of the weight of all the air above it.

The weight of a column of air contained in a unit area from the mean sea level to the top of the atmosphere is called the atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric pressure is expressed in various units.

Measurement of Air Pressure

Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the column of air at any given place and time. It is measured by means of an instrument called barometer.

The units used by meteorologists for this purpose are called millibars (mb).

One millibar is equal to the force of one gram on a square centimeter. A pressure of 1000 millibars is equal to the weight of 1.053 kilograms per square centimeter.

In other words, it will be equal to the weight of a column of mercury 75 cm high.

The normal pressure at sea level is taken to be about 76 centimeters (1013.25 millibars).

Vertical Variation of Pressure

In the lower atmosphere the pressure decreases rapidly with height.

How did president truman use the power of the presidency to limit the spread of communism in east asia?
stich3 [128]
Keeping communism in its enclosed borders

<span>President Truman worried what China might do if the war continued, but then MacAuther had told him that China would not intervene and he continued to push Northward. </span>

<span>Truman didn't want the U.S to enter into the major war that would involve huge numbers of troops and even atomic weapons Neither side won the Korean War, and the two Koreans remain divided till this day. </span>

There are two things that did change: Truman had enlarged the power of presidency, and a new alliance called the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (S.E.A.T.O). This alliance was formed to prevent the spread of communism. The Truman Doctrine had committed the U.S to aid the countries resisting communist aggression, and provided the first step toward what would become known as the Containment Policy.

<span>President Truman established that the U.S would provide political, military and economic assistance to all democratic nations under threat from internal or external authoritarian forces. President Truman delivered a speech before a joint session on March 12, 1947, this is how The Truman Doctrine up-rose. The immediate cause for the speech was a recent announcement by the British Government that, as of March 31, it would no longer provide military and economic assistance to the Greek Government in its civil war against the Greek Communist Party.</span>
