Sorokin Survey: Friendships Formed by Kindness and Values
Sociologist Pitirim Sorokin reports 548 Harvard Radcliffe students mapped friendships and enmities. About one quarter began with kindness or sympathy, three quarters with shared values. Enmities split evenly between unkind acts and incompatible ideals. Henry Cassidy notes half the world goes hungry nightly and 90,000 new mouths daily, linking poverty to political obedience. Gifted children are stronger and need tailored education, while Yale alumni exceed 60,000 living graduates across the U S and abroad.
