39. The main problems arising in the implementation of charity
The problem is not so simple. How to deal with the order of work in an economic downturn and rising unemployment? Is it worth spending money on charity, training and job creation? Is it necessary to choose between providing concrete assistance to a person in particular need and organizing conditions so that the person in need today does not need tomorrow? It is clear that the first requires much less material and organizational resources than the second.
Although the turn in the cause of charity cannot be interpreted one-sidedly: to refuse the distribution of resources that are not provided with labor and organize the training and retraining of those in need.
Modern charitable programs are aimed not only at maintaining a sufficient standard of living for those in need, but on a large scale - at financing various scientific, educational, environmental, socio-cultural, etc. programs.
However, with their help it is really possible to resolve social contradictions, even in the developed societies of the "golden billion" of mankind. Moreover, charity itself - both as a system of redistribution of resources and as an area of special activity - remains a source of very serious problems of a socio-ethical, moral order. Moral criticism of charity in our time is shifting the solution of pragmatic issues to value and normative guidelines, and thus leads to the most specific and human-oriented topics. Ethical reasoning about philanthropy tries to reveal its moral meaning from the point of view of the commandment of love. In the course of this reasoning, philanthropy itself becomes clear.
Helping other people, usually those in need, is an expression of solidarity and courtesy towards them, and philanthropy itself is charity, in the light of which the expedient arguments of utilitarianism lose their sharpness. Mercy should not count the equality of benefits, which is very important for the state or a conscientious charitable foundation, it gives and sympathizes.
A good deed as a moral theme is expressed not only in the willingness to share, to give, but also in the willingness to get out of the limitations of personal egoism.
Only selfless actions, only selflessness is far from enough.
Mercy will require from a person not only generosity, but also spiritual sensitivity and moral maturity, and therefore he himself must rise to goodness, eradicating evil in himself, in order to be able to do good to another.
Free financial resources and material resources should be concentrated with the greatest efficiency and shared in such a way that the benefit and material resources of individuals, if they wish, could significantly contribute to increasing the benefit of the whole society.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven
09.05.2024
Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship
08.05.2024
Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>
| Random news from the Archive A new chemical element with magnetic properties
07.06.2018
The discovery, made experimentally by researchers at the University of Minnesota, demonstrates that the chemical element ruthenium (Ru) is the fourth chemical element with unique magnetic properties at room temperature. Until recently, only three stable magnetic elements were known to people, iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni) and, in part, gadolinium (Gd), which loses its magnetic properties at temperatures above 8 degrees Celsius. The discovery of a new magnetic material may lead to the development of new types of sensors, storage devices, information processing and a host of other electronic and electromechanical devices.
This discovery is based on some theoretical predictions, for the implementation of which scientists from Minnesota have developed a method of "growing" ruthenium crystals with a quadrangular lattice shape, and not the hexagonal one that this element has in its natural form. And it is this rectangular form of ruthenium, formed as a thin film, that exhibits pronounced ferromagnetic properties at room temperature.
The researchers believe that with their discovery they opened the door to the direction of fundamental research on the magnetic properties of ruthenium. Ruthenium is particularly interesting because it is chemically inert, it is very resistant to oxidation. In addition, its magnetic properties must have high thermal stability, which makes this material a suitable candidate for use in the next generation of magnetic recording devices. And right now, scientists are researching this unique property of ruthenium.
In addition to traditional technologies that use the magnetic properties of materials, the emergence of a new magnetic material can play an important role in the further development of a number of new areas, such as spintronics. This will be favored by the fact that the technologies for growing thin films and creating nanostructures have already reached a level that allows the production of materials with unique properties that the same materials of natural origin do not possess.
