This is great, Andy: Both the tip and the reference to the Forum. I had done this calculation in an Excel spreadsheet where you type a zip code in one box and it then calculates the distance between that zip and every other to make a table, but never knew how to make it dynamic. A big time saver. ReplyDelete.
What is SANCTION? In the original sense of the word, a âsanctionâ is a penalty or punishment provided as a means of enforcing obedience to a law. In jurisprudence, a law is said to have a sanction when there is a state which will intervene if it is disobeyed or disregarded. Therefore international law has no legal sanction.
Sanctions are mechanisms of social control. As opposed to forms of internal control, like cultural norms and values, sociologists consider sanctions a form of external control. Sanctions can either be positive (rewards) or negative (punishment), and can arise from either formal or informal control . Societies use formal and informal sanctions to enforce norms.
