Kathleen Stein-Smith, Fairleigh Dickinson University Half of the world population is bilingual, but only 25% of Americans can hold a conversation in another language. Changing that is one of the goals of language advocacy efforts, such as the Lead with Languages campaign. As the author of a book on what I refer to as America’s language deficit, here are what I see as seven of the best reasons for America’s young to speak a language besides English. 1. Makes you smarter Research has shown that knowledge of more than one language is associated with better reasoning, problem-solving skills and creativity.…

Michelle Stratemeyer, University of Melbourne; Adriana Vargas Saenz, University of Melbourne, and Elise Holland, University of Melbourne A man sits in a doctor’s office after months of his wife’s increasingly desperate pleas for him to seek professional help for his constant coughing. In the end, she was the one who booked his appointment and even drove him there. Another man is meeting with his manager, anticipating derision and mockery when he mentions he needs to reduce his workload to accommodate the birth of his first child. A third man has a violent encounter outside a pub, fuelled by binge drinking…
Clement Prince Addo, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China All over the world, the internet has provided extraordinary socioeconomic opportunities to businesses, governments, and individuals. But less developed countries still face numerous obstacles to maximise its potential. The problems range from obsolete infrastructure, the nonavailability, non-accessibility, cost, power fluctuations, policies and regulation. Many countries on the continent still have bandwidth as low as 64 kilobits. This is in contrast to the 270,000 megabits per second in the US. Data also shows that downloading a 5GB movie took 734 minutes in the Republic of Congo, 788 minutes in Sao…

I was born into a Christian family to parents with the parenting motto that was a springboard from the Biblical scripture that says, “Spare the rod and spoil the child”. This scripture is a parenting 101 tip with worldwide relevance, even today. I personally believe in children being disciplined, but where do we draw the line? Months ago, there was an uproar on social media over a video that showed a young boy being beaten by an older lady with a stick and locked up in the dog’s cage, afterwards. The video which prompted the lady’s arrest yielded more dreadful…
In Nigeria, prisons are perceived as places where criminals are sent to be punished, however, this only works in theory. Oftentimes, after ‘punishment’ is meted and they are subsequently released, these individuals fall back into the same (or progressively worse) patterns of criminal activities. This proofs that our criminal laws ought to go beyond the scope of punishment to reformation. This is where our Woman Crush Wednesday, Funke Adeoye, comes in. Funke is a public interest lawyer who is also the founder and executive director of Hope Behind Bars Africa, a community of volunteers building a social profit organisation committed…
Roberto Musotto, Edith Cowan University and David S. Wall, University of Leeds Facebook is planning end-to-end encryption on all its messaging services to increase privacy levels. The tech giant started experimenting with this earlier this year. Soon, end-to-end encryption will be standard for every Facebook message. But Australian, British and United States governments and law makers aren’t happy about it. They fear it will make it impossible to recover criminal conversations from Facebook’s platforms, thus offering impunity to offenders. For instance, this was a major concern following the 2017 London terror attacks. Attackers used WhatsApp (Facebook’s end-to-end encrypted platform), and…
Miemie Struwig, Nelson Mandela University Women in 2015 have to admit they are lucky. They don’t live in the world that their mothers or grandmothers lived in where career choices for women were limited. Most have grown up in a world where they have had basic human rights. But, amazingly, some still don’t have these rights. And women are still not making it to the top of any profession anywhere in the world. Why is this still the case? I would like to challenge every woman and ask: what would you be if you had no fear? To answer this,…
Why are we happy? I guess the struggles have become part of us, an extension. We are so used to it, And learn to get by. We learn how to avoid the potholes, Wriggle our way out of traffic, Prepare delicious meals with nothing; And through that, We have stories to tell, And things to laugh about.
