One writer commented that these acts of bending behavior to suit those in power remind "anyone who is under pressure to carry out orders from ‘above' to constantly question the validity and prudence of what they're being asked to do." why don't we do this more often?

To survive and keep ones sanity, people look for designs, make drawers in their mind and try to make simpler their daily lives. To question things continually charges a lot of resources like time, intellect and energy. People incline to question things and processes when the condition occurs for the first time. But when a routine sets in, questions won’t be asked anymore. That saves processes and life running. Routine is a good development, but like all in life, there is a dark/ hazardous side to it. For instance what if we behave unfair/ unprincipled and it became a repetitive activity.

according to hess's theory, when the magma cooled, it would expand and push the tectonic plates apart. it would push the north and south america plates to the west and eurasia and africa ones to the east. the atlantic ocean would get wider but the coastlines of the masses would stay the same.

harry hammond hess was a geologist and a united states navy officer in the second world war. he is considered to be one of the founding fathers of the theory of plate tectonics. he is known for his theories on sea floor spreading, stating that the movement of the continents was the result of see floor spreading. the continents are attached to the plates and do not move separately. the plates themselves shift and change shape, carrying the continents along.
