Caring Democracy : Markets, Equality, and Justice
A rethinking of American democracy that puts caring responsibilities at the centerAmericans now face a caring deficit: there are simply too many demands on people’s time for us to care adequately for our children, elderly people, and ourselves.At the same time, political involvement in the United States is at an all-time low, and although political life should help us to care better, people see caring as unsupported by public life and deem the concerns of politics as remote from their lives.Caring Democracy argues that we need to rethink American democracy, as well as our fundamental values and commitments, from a caring perspective.What it means to be a citizen is to be someone who takes up the challenge: how should we best allocate care responsibilities in society?Joan Tronto argues that we need to look again at how gender, race, class, and market forces misallocate caring responsibilities and think about freedom and equality from the standpoint of making caring more just.The idea that production and economic life are the most important political and human concerns ignores the reality that caring, for ourselves and others, should be the highest value that shapes how we view the economy, politics, and institutions such as schools and the family.Care is at the center of our human lives, but Tronto argues it is currently too far removed from the concerns of politics.Caring Democracy traces the reasons for this disconnection and argues for the need to make care, not economics, the central concern of democratic political life.

Play and Social Justice : Equity, Advocacy, and Opportunity
The importance of play for healthy development is undeniable.Aspects of play have been linked to the development of social skills, health and fitness, motivation, curiosity, innovation, imagination, and problem solving.Both theory and research suggest that play of various types is critical for healthy development and that playfulness is an important quality across the life span.However, opportunities to play and quality of play facilities in schools, after-school programs, childcare centers, community parks, and museums are not equitable by race, socio-economic status, and ability. And racial profiling, immigrant status, illness, and incarceration interfere with child’s play.The first section of the book defines play and social justice and describes disparities in play opportunities in childcare, schools, and communities as well as inequities in how play is interpreted.The next section describes pre-school, elementary, high school, and university programs that use play to liberate, teach, and build community as well as after-school, hospital, and community programs that help to level the playing field of opportunity.The final part of the book discusses ways to ameliorate inequities through research and advocacy.Four research methods are described that are useful for conducting studies on the amount of play children experience, attitudes toward play, and the effect of play on other variables.Finally, a child, a parent, and a teacher describe ways they tried to obtain more recess, using various methods of advocacy.The appendix provides resources indispensable for those convinced that play for all is indeed a social justice issue worthy of advocacy.

"Equality before, but justice first?"
"Equality before, but justice first" suggests that while equality is important, it should not come at the expense of justice. This phrase emphasizes the need to address systemic injustices and inequalities in order to achieve true equality. It implies that simply treating everyone the same does not necessarily address the underlying issues of discrimination and oppression. Instead, it calls for prioritizing justice in order to create a more equitable society for all.

Why is centrifugal force a fictitious force and centripetal force a real force?
Centrifugal force is considered a fictitious force because it only appears to act on objects in a rotating reference frame, such as a spinning carousel or a turning car. In reality, the object is moving in a straight line, but it appears to be pushed away from the center of rotation due to inertia. On the other hand, centripetal force is a real force that acts towards the center of rotation, keeping an object moving in a circular path. This force is necessary to maintain the object's curved motion and prevent it from moving in a straight line.

What is the difference between justice and equality?
Justice refers to the fair and impartial treatment of individuals based on their actions and circumstances. It involves ensuring that individuals receive what they deserve based on their conduct and the law. On the other hand, equality refers to the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities. It focuses on ensuring that everyone has the same access to resources and opportunities, regardless of their background or circumstances. While justice emphasizes fairness and impartiality, equality emphasizes equal treatment and access to resources.

Which force?
The force of gravity is the fundamental force that governs the motion of objects in the universe. It is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun, causing objects to fall to the ground, and creating tides on Earth. Gravity is a universal force that acts between all objects with mass, and its strength depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.

G. A. Cohen : Liberty, Justice and Equality
G. A. Cohen was one of the towering political philosophers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.His intellectual career was unusually wide-ranging, and he was celebrated internationally not only for his penetrating ideas about liberty, justice and equality, but also for his method, a highly original and influential combination of analytical philosophy and Marxism. Christine Sypnowich guides readers through the rich body of Cohen’s work.By identifying five paradoxes in his thought, she explores the origins of his interest in analytical philosophy, his engagement with the ideas of right-wing libertarianism, his critique of John Rawls’s work, his late-career turn to conservatism, and the tension between his preoccupation with individual responsibility and the idea of a socialist ethos.Sypnowich acknowledges the strengths of Cohen’s positions as well as their tensions and flaws, and presents him as a thinker of startling insight. This compelling introduction is a go-to resource for students and scholars of modern political philosophy.

Why is centrifugal force a fictitious force and centripetal force a real one?
Centrifugal force is considered a fictitious force because it only appears to act on objects in a rotating reference frame, such as a spinning carousel or a turning car. In reality, the object is moving in a straight line, but it appears to be pushed away from the center due to the rotation. On the other hand, centripetal force is a real force that acts towards the center of rotation, keeping an object moving in a circular path. This force is necessary to maintain the object's curved motion and prevent it from moving in a straight line.

Which force is responsible for the centripetal force?
The centripetal force is responsible for keeping an object moving in a circular path. This force is provided by another force acting towards the center of the circle, such as tension in a string, gravitational force, or friction. Without this centripetal force, the object would move in a straight line tangent to the circle.

Which of these forces has nothing to do with physical forces: lifting force, frictional force, tension force, thrust force? Why?
Tension force has nothing to do with physical forces. Tension force is a force that is transmitted through a string, rope, cable, or wire when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends. It is a result of the electromagnetic forces between the atoms and molecules in the material. Therefore, tension force is not a physical force like lifting force, frictional force, or thrust force, which are related to the interaction of objects in the physical world.

What is the difference between the force of gravity, the force of acceleration, the weight force, the gravitational force, and the force of gravity by definition?
The force of gravity is the force of attraction between two objects due to their mass. The force of acceleration is the force that causes an object to change its speed or direction. Weight force is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and it is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two objects with mass, and it is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force of gravity by definition is the force of attraction between two objects with mass, and it is responsible for the phenomenon of gravity.
