Description: group influence on an individual.
“Normative influence, a function of social impact theory, has three components.[10] The number of people in the group has a surprising effect. As the number increases, each person has less of an impact. A group's strength is how important the group is to a person. Groups we value generally have more social influence. Immediacy is how close the group is in time and space when the influence is taking place.”

Dr. Samuel Bowles, Dr. Herbert Gintis
Field of reference: Sociology
Description: Society can cause shame in those who contribute to it and pride in those who do.
“We concluded from this research that among economics majors in the lab and hunter-gatherers in the forest, contributing to the success of a joint project for the benefit of one's group, even at a personal cost, evokes feelings of satisfaction and pride. Failing to do so is often a source of shame or guilt. Cooperation thus is sustained by altruistic motivations that induce people to help others when not helping would result in their having higher fitness or other material rewards.”

Description: Giving a child a sense of purpose is crucial to their well-being.
“Developing positive identities touches on some fundamental questions facing every young child: ‘Who am I?’, ‘Is it OK to be who I am?’ and ‘What is my place in this world?’ Answering these questions is crucial to every child’s well-being, or in everyday language to ‘feeling good’ and ‘being happy.”

Description: a new global ethic is required in order to create a sustainable future.
“Today people are more aware than ever of global realities. We are beginning to understand the impact of our individual and collective actions on ourselves and on the biosphere as a whole. The concept of sustainability is in itself a reflection of this new awareness. Perhaps we are beginning to move towards a new global ethic which transcends all other systems of allegiance and belief, which is rooted in a consciousness of the interrelatedness and sanctity of life. Would such a common ethic have the power to motivate us to modify our current dangerous course? There is obviously no ready answer to this question, except to say that without a moral and ethical foundation, sustainability is unlikely to become a reality.”
