Verwante woorden in het Nederlands in zinsverband (zonder bronvermelding) Woordenboek Engels-Nederlands en Nederlands-Engels Van Dale Hedendaags Nederlands Met sociale cohesie doelen we op de sociale samenhang in onze maatschappij. Adhesie en cohesie Moleculen hebben vaak de neiging om aan elkaar vast te plakken, als we een waterdruppel nemen, en we laten die los in de lucht vallen, merken we dat de druppel bij elkaar blijft. Dit fenomeen heet cohesie, de watermoleculen trekken elkaar (dezelfde moleculen) aan. Zo hebben we ook adhesie, als we een glas met water vullen zien we dat het water als het ware langs het glas omhoog wil kruipen, dit noemen we adhesie, de moleculen trekken een ander soort moleculen aan. Licht incoherent praten komt vaker voor en het vormt geen specifiek symptoom. Volgens de staatssecretaris is dit incoherent, strijdig beleid. Soms kan Nederland zelfstandig coherent beleid maken maar steeds vaker moeten we dat met andere lidstaten zien te regelen op Europees niveau. Hoe coherent is dit actieplan? U kunt middels het tekenen van een adhesiebetuiging laten weten ook tegen de plannen te zijn. Uw adhesiebetuiging is welkom per e-mail, post, fax/tel. Het Samenwerkingsverband Voortgezet Onderwijs Nijmegen en omgeving heeft door middel van een adhesiebetuiging haar steun gegeven aan het initiatief. Geweld is inherent aan Vlaams Belang. Kernenergie is inherent onveilig.
