Answer:

The comparison of televised war images vs. claims of government officials best represents the "credibility gap" during the Vietnam War.

Explanation:

The "credibility gap" was a social phenomenon that occurred during the Vietnam War, through which society did not believe in what the government was saying about the results of the war: the Lyndon Johnson government spoke of positive results, with optimism and triumphalism, relying on the media that operated in his favor; but society, on the other hand, viewed the war with a bad eye due to the large number of Americans killed or wounded in the conflict, thereby believing all that victorious paraphernalia that was being attempted to establish from the sectors of power.

This lack of social support, added to various tragic events caused as a consequence of this unrest (such as the Kent State University Massacre) ended up bending the government's position and forcing it to end American participation in the conflict.

These findings support the importance of a unanimous group in creating conformity

Explanation:

In this experiment, Asch could explain how a group is conducted by the major opinion, and how a simple change from the point of view can create controversy and dissolve the group. More than just human behavior is a psychological condition to follow the crowd, to not be different. It's a way to safeguard itself.

Find a ranking or statistical indicator showing the importance of the United Nations Organization at the national or internation

Lostsunrise [7]

The United Nations Organization was born in 1945 after a long process of many states charting how its existence should be. As of this moment, it is composed of 193 member states and 2 observer states.

The UNO's role is to encourage and to press for the progress of peace and rights in the world. It does that through treaties and covenants that are signed and then ratified by interested countries. After this process, groups inside each country can count on these documents to press their governments to act on the treaties signed.

One of many possible indicators of its importance is the number of countries that ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966): 173. Once a country ratifies a Covenant it compromises to enforce it as policy in its territory.
