[edit] Measure (Compassion)

How to measure [compassion] in a country? unknown 07:38, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Possibly charitable acts as percentage of disposable income (not just donations of money), volunteer hours donated, etc.... These would have to be measured against fully altruistic (ie. tithing) or technically selfish acts (ie. donating to one's own organization) that just seem compassionate. I am unaware of any resources that are currently doing this, but you might want to check out the United Nations. You would probably also have to subtract (or even maybe divide by?) the relative number of anti-compassionate acts (such as expecting or demanding bribes, interfering with journalism, interfering with unharmful free expression, etc...) in those nations. A few organizations do this last, such as: http://www.heritage.org/index/ (Index of Economic Freedom), http://www.rsf.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=573 (Reporters sans frontières) . International human rights watches of various sorts would probably also be up on it. 24.16.251.40 23:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
