The Ways In Which Climate Change Is Already Affecting Cultures As Well As the Environment - (USA)
This article on the Kamayurá people in the Amazon offers just one more reminder of the tragic effects climate change is having not just on flora and fauna, but on people and cultures, too: Deforestation and, some scientists contend, global climate change are making the Amazon region drier and hotter, decimating fish stocks in this area and imperiling the Kamayurá’s very existence. Like other small indigenous cultures around the world with little money or capacity to move, they are struggling

Hello. My name is Michael and I am a film festival junkie, which means I cycle through addiction (should I watch four movies today or five?), recovery (I'm feeling oppressed with movies and I'm going to stop watching so many of them) and recidivism (the Toronto International's coming up!).

Zippy Pronoia as an antidote to a paranoid age - (USA)
Zippie Zippie is a term used to describe a person who does something for nothing, i.e. zip. Any supporter of free culture, free food, free books, free software is a zippie. Zippies reached international prominence during the American 1972 Democratic National Convention and 1972 Republican National Convention, held in Miami Beach, Florida, when the term was silk-screened on t-shirts and worn by counter-culture activists and groups working to end the US involvement in the Vietnam War.

How Past Experiences Affect Your Life! - (USA)
Sociologist Herbert Mead developed a theory known as social behaviorism, which helped explained why past social experiences help form an individuals’ personality. Mead did not believe that personality was developed by drives or biologically, but more on terms socially. He stated that the self only developed when people interact with one an other . Without the interaction of other people an individual can’t develop a personality. An example of this is if a child is left in total isolation for a

Public Schools - Pagan Indoctrination Centers - (USA)
By: Joel Turtel August 17, 2007 NewsWithViews.com Many public schools have become pagan religion indoctrination centers. These schools now teach children anti-Judeo-Christian beliefs and pagan religions, and try to mold children's minds through the latest techniques in behavioral psychology. Here are two examples of how schools now use spirit religions as brainwashing techniques in classrooms across America, from Berit Kjos’s book, “Brave New Schools:” “Come to the medicine wheel!” the te

Black Magic And Evil Eye - (USA)
BLACK MAGIC AND EVIL EYE Magic has probably been practiced since the beginning of recorded history. It evolved out of a need to explain and control an environment that was often hostile and deadly. The world, the sky, the stars and planets, birth, illness, and death were but a few of the many things that puzzled early humans. These must have seemed mysterious and controlled by unknown, powerful forces. Efforts to explain the world's mysteries, and to find ways to control at least some of them,

Abu Dhabi’s Local Paper Looks at NYUAD From Deep Within John Sexton’s Psyche - (USA)
The National , an English language paper in Abu Dhabi, published a huge, fascinating piece last Friday about NYU Abu Dhabi . John Gravois seemed to tackle the story with the idea that in order to understand the motivation and scale of the project, you have to get into the mind of the man behind it all - John Sexton, NYU’s president. “With Sexton, digressions quickly metastasise into ideas, ideas into schemes, and schemes into rosters of personnel,” Gravois writes, and this already explains a

5 Things You Can Use if You Run Out of Cash - (USA)
Civilizations have been creating currencies since the dawn of history. A pure barter system always has deficiencies, not least of which is transporting goods over mountains, through valleys, and across oceans. Think of the human effort involved in a simple transaction—not to mention the manure abatement fees—on ox-drawn wagons. So, to make transactions a bit simpler, almost all civilizations have come up with currencies. 1. Shells From China to Africa to the Americas, shells were used as a
