Out of wetsuits, into pin-stripes

Article Abstract:

The Green Party, Green Peace and Friends of the Earth are declining in popularity as people become more environmentally educated. The UK electorate is against the Green Party and it suffers from management problems. There is more emphasis on the carrying out of green committments in the 90s. People realise that science and technology are vital to provide third world aid. In post-communist Germany the Green Party has lost support because of the realisation that west Germany is less polluted because it is a rich industrial state.

Suburbia eats away at country life

Article Abstract:

Less than 20% of British people live in apartments although in France, Germany and Italy about half of new homes built are apartments. Most English farm-workers are employees on large farms whereas in France it is traditional to have a second home in the countryside as part of their peasant roots. In Britain, the population lives in urban civilizations but most people aspire to move out of the city and into the suburbs. British men enjoy risk-taking but do not believe in the civilizing work and conformity of continental men.

Courage, martyrdom, sanctity, youth - and renunciation of a profligate past

Article Abstract:

There is still a strong desire to make saints in modern society. People may be more cynical than in previous generations, but they are at least as credulous, and perhaps even more so. This means that public figures are given a status approaching sainthood, even if they are not religious. Candidates for sainthood need to exhibit youth, sanctity, courage and martyrdom. They are often failed by society, and in some cases die in tragic circumstances. However, they later come to be venerated.
