Peter O’Connor, Queensland University of Technology and Peter Karl Jonason, Western Sydney University In a newly published study, we found that employees who “cut corners” tend to be morally compromised, low in conscientiousness, self-focused and impulsive. This in addition to the potential for corner-cutting to increase risks. Surveying more than 1,000 Australians and Americans, we found approximately one in four employees regularly cut corners. Men are slightly more likely to cut corners than women. Cutting corners at work Cutting corners is a workplace behaviour characterised by skipping or avoiding steps important to a task, in order to complete the task…

Doseline Kiguru, Rhodes University Literary prizes do more than offer recognition and cash to writers and help readers decide what book to choose. They shape the literary canon, a country’s body of highly regarded writing. They help shape what the future classics might be. But what if Africa’s biggest prizes are awarded by foreign territories; former colonial masters? Or what if African-born writers in the diaspora are routinely chosen as winners over writers living and working in Africa? Debates have been raging over these issues in recent years, especially relating to the lucrative Caine Prize for African Writing. The words…
Hilton Humphries, Centre for the AIDS Program of Research in South Africa (CAPRISA) Communities have long played a critical role in the fight against HIV. Their activism and advocacy have greatly influenced the response to HIV/AIDS over the past four decades. From the early 1980s, communities have fought for the rights and needs of those most affected. For example, faced with stigma and discrimination, gay communities in the US provided prevention advice, care and support. They also fought for treatment development and access. By the mid-1980s the extent of the pandemic elsewhere in the world was becoming apparent. International, regional…
Enjoy your childhood while it lasts. It ends – childhood. The adults remind you of it. Remind you, that things won’t be so easy as you add in years. But why? Is it impossible to dream forever? Is it impossible not to worry about tomorrow, Or the things, words and thoughts of the world? To play, yet able to sit still even with a restless and fidgeting mind. It is not impossible. I enjoy my childhood – my spirit is a child. Forever. Adaudo Anyiam-Osigwe – From her book of poems – A Little Understanding: Poems from the End…
Holy Humour The right cane Bent over and obviously in pain, the old man with a cane hobbled laboriously through the sanctuary and into the pastor’s office while the choir was practising. Ten minutes later he came out, walking upright and moving with grace and speed. “Good gracious,” the choir director exclaimed. “Did the pastor heal you by faith?” “No,” the old man said with a smile. “He just gave me a cane that wasn’t six inches too short! Sunday Quote “Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will…
Reading 1 Wis 1:1-7 Love justice, you who judge the earth; think of the Lord in goodness, and seek him in integrity of heart; Because he is found by those who test him not, and he manifests himself to those who do not disbelieve him. For perverse counsels separate a man from God, and his power, put to the proof, rebukes the foolhardy; Because into a soul that plots evil, wisdom enters not, nor dwells she in a body under debt of sin. For the Holy Spirit of discipline flees deceit and withdraws from senseless counsels; and when injustice occurs it…
Anthony Otome Okeregbe, University of Lagos World Philosophy Day has been set aside to highlight the importance of philosophy in different regional contexts. It defines philosophy as “the study of the nature of reality and existence, of what is possible to know, and of right and wrong behaviour”. Wale Fatade asked Tony Okeregbe to explain why philosophy remains relevant today. Why study philosophy? Philosophy has always been the driver of ideas that shape human history. As a critical, rational inquiry into the ideas people live by, philosophy transforms society in the course of socio-economic, political and cultural evolution. The British…

Gregory N. Price, University of New Orleans The U.S. Department of Education is out with a new version of its College Scorecard – an online tool meant to help students and families make more informed decisions about where to attend college. As an economist who examines how college choice can impact how much money you make in the future, I see a lot value in the new College Scorecard. But I also see some areas where it could be improved so that it’s more useful for the general public. Here are five things to know about the new College Scorecard…
Roger L. Shapiro, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Gbolahan Ajibola, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Princess had a rough start in life. She was born HIV-infected. Her mother was often sick, and there was little family support for her own struggles with HIV. But Princess’ mother had recently started HIV treatment and planned to stay on it. She wanted to do everything possible for her daughter, so she made a decision that ultimately helped save Princess’ life: she enrolled her in a study to treat HIV infection just a few days after being born. HIV…
