Moral Support

Moral support is a way of giving support to a person or cause, or to one side in a conflict, without making any contribution beyond the emotional or psychological value of the encouragement.

For example, in a war between two countries or alliances, a third nation may give moral support to one side, without actually participating in the conflict (for example, Paraguay in World War ll).

Another common example can be found in sports. By coming out to watch one's friend's team play a match, one is likely not directly supporting her team in any significant way (especially if there is no charge to attend), but one's friend may still feel encouraged by the moral support of one's presence.

The line between moral support and other forms of help is often hard to draw. For example, some athletes report that they play better when the spectators encourage them—and in some cases referees' decisions may be influenced by a partisan crowd.

There is also moral support that one can offer someone who is experiencing a difficult situation. One may not be able to offer any concrete assistance except empathy.

How far will liberals go in compromising all moral judgment just to support their team?
Q. Have you noticed that every time liberal morals are questioned, the most common excuse is that republicans do it, too (even if they have to exaggerate republican antics)? 100% of the time, liberals will defend democrats. 0% of the time, liberals take a moral stand (regardless of who's done what). Isn't this how the Nazis were able to get so far, because they had so many morally bankrupt supporters? Has liberalism become the new fascism?

A. Republicans do the same thing! So what's your point?

This book gives teachers another option when traditional behavioral and academic plans fail. It presents practical resource that give teachers at all levels positive strategies for dealing effectively with al kinds of individual and group behavior problems and for creating a more collaborative and productive classroom environment in which everyone becomes responsible for their own actions and their own solutions. Step by step, Teaching Toward Solutions shows how to help students begin their own change process by focusing on their successes and abilities rather than on their failures or misbehaviors, or what caused them. This process empowers them to deal with their problems and ultimately gain self-esteem as they take control of their own behavior. Even the most difficult adolescent who is always ready for a confrontation can be tamed using this very unique approach. Much more than just being "positive" this guide will give teachers of all grade levels new words to say and new strategies to use that change behaviors, attitudes, and promote academic success.
