Dear Dorothy, I am in my early thirties. Most of my peers are married with children. The biological clock is ticking away and I feel pressured to settle down with a suitable partner and have children. However, I am not in any relationship at present. In my twenties, there were several opportunities to consider an arranged marriage to sons of family friends but I was dismissive of the idea. I told my parents that I would not consider it. No, way! But, in my present predicament, I wonder if I should have given it a chance, and met up with…
Stephanie Lake, University of British Columbia and M-J Milloy, University of British Columbia Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a psychiatric condition linked to surviving or witnessing a traumatic life event, will affect around one in 10 Canadians at some point in their lives. PTSD can cause agitation, flashbacks, impaired concentration and memory, insomnia and nightmares and these symptoms can increase the risk of substance abuse and dependence, depression and suicide. Many patients struggle to find adequate symptom relief from conventional treatments for PTSD including anti-depressant or anti-psychotic medications and psychological treatments such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy. Unsurprisingly, many turn to…

Sheriff Folarin, Covenant University Nigeria shut its land borders in the wee hours of August 21, 2019. There was no warning, nor measures taken to protect people whose livelihoods depend on crossing these frontiers. It was a shock to the border security officials themselves as it was to travellers. The Nigerian government tried to justify the closure later as an issue of national and food security. The borders, it said, had become too porous and were being exploited by Nigerians and foreigners to smuggle contraband in and out of Nigeria. The major reason given was to prevent smuggling of goods…
Reading 1 Wis 11:22-12:2 Before the LORD the whole universe is as a grain from a balance or a drop of morning dew come down upon the earth. But you have mercy on all, because you can do all things; and you overlook people’s sins that they may repent. For you love all things that are and loathe nothing that you have made; for what you hated, you would not have fashioned. And how could a thing remain, unless you willed it; or be preserved, had it not been called forth by you? But you spare all things, because they are…
Sam Carr, University of Bath Most parents would agree that parenting is extremely complex and challenging. What works for one child, might not work for another – even within the same family. Parenting practices and beliefs around the world can also be strikingly different. Japanese children, for example, are often allowed to ride the subway by themselves from as young as seven. This would be considered unthinkable to parents in some other countries. Similarly, the idea of children going to bed at 6.30pm is horrifying to many Spanish or Latin American parents who see it as critical for children to…
Christian-Georges Schwentzel, Université de Lorraine When the film Wonder Woman is released in early June, it will surely join the blockbuster ranks of other recent comic book-inspired film franchises, including Batman, Superman, Spiderman, and X-Men. But that’s not just because it features a sword-wielding Gal Gadot in knee-high boots and a metal bodice. Wonder Woman has long been a bestselling creation, originally imagined in 1941 by the psychologist William Moulton Marston, and the film follows some of the main plot lines developed in the comic books. Wonder Woman is a superheroine known as Diana, princess of the Amazons, who is…
