Football mania has a lot to answer for

Article Abstract:

A leading UK educationist has claimed that teenage boys are so obsessed with football that they have no time or motivation to improve their intellectual capacity. Football becomes a way of life for many, and this means that they are not learning the skills that girls seem to acquire naturally, such as articulacy and social interaction. Teenage boys only talk about football, and are very unwilling to read proper books. However, there are some indications that football clubs are trying to address this problem, and some may even become involved in homework schemes.

How can we preserve cultural biodiversity?

Article Abstract:

It has been relatively common throughout history for whole communities to gradually disappear. Some observers believe that this is merely a natural consequence of the passage of time. Indeed, it could be argued that shedding historical baggage gives less potential for conflict. However, nobody really wishes their own community to disappear, even if they do not participate in its religious or ethnic activities. Furthermore, there are considerable advantages associated with human cultural diversity.
