healthy life extension. Productively framing, placing and keeping a problem front and center in the mainstream of our culture is hard work, but that education and persuasion unlock purses far and wide. Government money is usually the least of these resources. Far more funding comes from a venture, charitable and corporate concerns.

Chinatown was my home, the place where I met all my friends, and the place where I'd thought I'd never leave. I spoke only Cantonese, both to my friends and to my parents. Everyone I was around spoke fluent

a new centrality to consumers as key players in the economic life of the (German) nation and in that process gave women a new public significance.

Carter's (1984) interesting argument regarding young women and their relationship to consumerism and the market owes much to early feminist critique. Carter insists that the "image industries" are acutely aware of gender difference
by Sujata Bhatt and ‘Ogun’ by Edward Kamau Brathwaite we can see that both are primarily concerned with notions of culture and identity and in particular how one impacts upon the other. The implication being, that the culture into which we are born plays an important role in the formation of our identity and that when we attempt to integrate ourselves into a ‘foreign’ culture conflict is created within.

safe to assume that all human beings desire peace. What is not always very clear is what each person means by peace and how it can be attained and maintained. Religion and peace in an African culture have been almost natural companions in the minds of humans in different periods of history and in different cultures of the world. This is because, although far too many adherents and leaders of the different religions in the world have disrupted the peace in the society by promoting violence and wars, the
The Effects of Television on Society The question whether or not television has had a decisive influence on everyday life and has helped change society, has been questioned by sociologists and psychologists for many years now. “T.V. determines what people think and what they do and thus controls them psychologically and socially.
