Holy Humour Jesus returns The Pope is working in his office one day when a very excited priest comes rushing down the hall, robes flying. “Padre! Padre! I have news!” the priest pants as he skids into the room. The Pope looks up patiently from his work and asks, “What is your news, Father?” “Jesus is back! He’s coming here right now! What should we do? What should we do?” The Pope smiles and picks up his papers and a pen and answers, “Look busy.” Sunday Quote “Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more…

In my short life, I have come to realise that I know very little. To compensate for this, I try to look up to those older and wiser. Mama, you have been one of those people. In the words you say, And mostly the things you do, You have taught me that I do not need to know everything. All I need to know is that If there is love, One does not need to know.

Joel Michael Reynolds, University of Massachusetts Lowell The U.S. hit a terrible and entirely preventable milestone this week: Measles cases are at a 25-year high. This alarming statistic is not due to changes in public health policy or medical practice, but the rise of the anti-vax movement. Researchers who study the beliefs of parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated have found they have both religious and political motivations. As a bioethicist who investigates how cultural and societal values impact medical care, I consider the position of anti-vaxxers to be morally indefensible. Here are three reasons why. 1. Failure…
Emmanuel Adebayo, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta Being a man is usually regarded as an advantage in many social circles. The masculine gender is seen as one that comes with inherent benefits. For example, in many parts of the world being a man makes you an automatic leader within the family as well as society at large. In research my colleagues and I conducted a review on the gender attitudes of young adolescents. The review, which draws on data from 82 studies from different cultural settings, highlighted the fact that the endorsement of unequal or stereotypical gender norms is already…
Jonathan Cohn, University of Alberta At the start of Black History Month 2019, Google designed its daily-changing homepage logo to include an image of African-American activist Sojourner Truth, the great 19th-century abolitionist and women’s rights activist. But what would Truth say about Google’s continual lack of care and respect toward people of colour? While bringing more attention to Sojourner Truth is venerable, Google can do better. As a professor and researcher of digital cultures, I have found that a lack of care and investment by tech companies towards users who are not white and male allows racism and sexism to…
Jessie Ford, New York University Time Magazine recently featured “The Silence Breakers” as its 2017 “Person of the Year,” a nod to the countless women who have come forward with stories of unwanted sexual advances and sexual assaults. But missing from the conversation are men. For example, a number of surveys have found that about 8 percent of men are victims of sexual assault in college, and the majority of these men are heterosexual. Why aren’t more men coming forward? What’s behind their silence? Could it have something to do with underlying cultural assumptions about men and sex – that…

The off-shoulder look is a great way to flaunt your shoulders. This trend has been subtly splattered all over the internet and your favourite fashion aficionados are having fun with a bit of shoulder peek-a-boo. The off-shoulder trend is not only a great way to flaunt your shoulders, but it is a guaranteed way to give off sensual-vibes, it also provides an illusion of broader shoulders – giving an hourglass figure.

I recently asked a friend what love is. His response was unorthodox; he said, “It is the will to accept someone for who they are”. But it was also flawed with loopholes because it is possible to accept someone you don’t love – just ask sugar babies (aka gold diggers). To understand what love is, you must first understand what love isn’t. Love isn’t a feeling Those in relationships will tell you they don’t always feel good about their partners; quarrels and fights will occur, but does this mean their love ceases to exist? Attributing love to how you feel…
