Question

‘Her causes were the struggle for Indian independence, the welfare of Indian soldiers in the First World War — and, above all, the fight for female suffrage.' All of these attitudes were present within a broader attitude, i.e., the attitude against injustice and inequality. Explain the feature specified here.

Hint:

Remember the terms related to attitudes, like valence, extremeness and centrality.

Answer 1

Centrality: The overarching feature of Sophia’s attitude is centrality. This is because her attitudes towards Indian independence, the welfare of Indian soldiers and the women’s suffrage movement are interlinked with a larger attitude, which is against injustice and inequality.
Centrality Explained: Centrality is the way an attitude is connected to the overall attitude system. The more central an attitude is to a person’s belief system, the greater will be its influence on one’s overall approach to life.
