In Brave New World, how do Solidarity groups help to achieve the World State motto?

The motto of the World State is "Community, Identity,
Stability."  Solidarity Service groups help to achieve all of these three
goals.


Every other week, people have to go to Solidarity
Services with the other members of their groups.  At these services, they take soma,
participate in some chants, and have an orgy.  These services are meant to make them
feel more part of a community.  By going to these services, they share a common
experience with the other members of their group.  That makes them feel more like they
belong to that community and it gives them an identity (as part of the group).  This
promotes stability by making them feel more belonging.


In
addition, the services offer emotional release.  The drugs, the chanting and the sex are
extremely powerful experiences and leave most of the participants drained and cleansed
and happy.  By doing so, the services can make the people more contented and less likely
to rebel.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
