The world's population really needs the skills (literacy!) to balance arguments and debate issues. Today being
World Philosophy Day, 19 November 2009 we can see this need as global events re-frame our words. For decades now some of the world's cities - capitals have become synonymous with fevered political debate, equality, equity, poverty, power.... 'Copenhagen' is the…

According to
Technology Guardian 19.11.2009
Cisco estimated late last year that there are around 200bn junk e-mails a day. The (newspaper) article Mixed Messages states that although filters intercept a vast amount of spam, it remains the route for malware and viruses now disguised as 'friend' invites. What is the impact of that ever growing volume…

Nursing is still trying to escape and evade the sexual 'Carry On' stereotypes that have plagued the profession in the popular imagination. For the majority of people talk of nursing and models more readily conjures up visions of catwalks than an academic pursuit.
You can still see and hear the response of bright-eyed girls and boys (aged 9-10...) to the age-old question: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" The answer: "I want to be a nurse and help people get better!" Even though youngst…

Hundreds of private e-mails and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.
The e-mails, attributed to prominent American and British climate researchers, include discussions of scientific data and whether it should be released, exchanges about how best to combat the arguments of skeptics, and casual comments — i…

This book is really interesting. Most of the topics written by Paul Auster about the end of the world we live in were predicted in the Bible and by Nostradamus. In addition to this, this book inspired many movies that deal with the same topic. I would like to reflect about this question: Are the things described by the author going to happen in the near future? Can we do something to protect our world? I think that some facts that the author says are happening nowadays. People die in the streets…

I think that every characters are absent friends. Each of them has his own conflict and things to hide under the carpet.
If I compare Collins with the rest of the friends, I can say that Collins is in the best position. He lost his girlfriend but he finds his comfort remembering the past.
Collin is not aware of the pain of his friends because he has been living in another place for many years. He can not understan the situation. Apart from that, Collin's friend don't want to share the tea time w…

You know that I haven't finished In The Country Of The Last Things yet. And yesterday, when I reached page 62, I found Anna not as Anna, but as Paul Auster. I have to contradict myself when I thought that the writer had to have studied the femenine points of view very well. Well, I think that he failed in the part of the masturbation. I think he let the masculine wishes flow naturally.
The act of masturbation belongs to both women and men, but isn't is a very masculine way to confess?

Stress. It’s killing you, right? Paperwork is due; the kids have the sniffles (Is it H1N1? Gasp!); your co-worker is the devil’s liege; there’s a student you can’t seem to reach… I really could write an entire blog about the different situations that cause us stress, but that would take all day, and I’d have to double up on the Prozac for that one.
The question is… how do we reduce stress and find a way to chill out over the Thanksgiving holiday?
(A few more notes on stress here, I recognize t…

Although I am not a cinema goer, I really enjoy watching films, especially Argentinian films. On Sundays I am used to having a very short nap, and then to watching an Argentinian film.
This time was “Cenizas del Paraíso”- Ashes from Paradise-, a drama directed by Marcelo Piñeyro in 1997. Leonardo Sbaraglia, Leticia Brédice and Daniel Kuzniecka are the main characters in the story together with Héctor Alterio.
The story takes place in Buenos Aires where a female Judge- Cecilia Roth- is investigat…

The rumors are true, according to Sarah Palin: The McCain-Palin campaign was not a happy family. In Palin's new memoir, "Going Rogue," she confirms reports of tension between her aides and those of the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain. The vice presidential candidate confirms that she had wanted to speak on election night, but was denied the chance and says she was kept "bottled up" from reporters during the campaign.
Palin also writes harshly of CBS anchor Kati
