Before most global societies have accepted and recognized the norms and behaviors of homosexuals when it comes to sex, marriages and lifestyle, gay men in the old eras have strived to be discreet about their love and intimate lives.

September 29, 2008 The current US Presidential elections do give an interesting insight into the bias and prejudice of mainstream media in their reportage of the two candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain. Reports the New York Times: “It wasn’t a television blackout of John McCain; it was worse: split-screen contrasts that at times made it seem as if Barack Obama was on a state visit while back home his opponent chafed at the perks and privileges of an incumbent commander in chief.” The NY Times pointed out this interesting contrast: “On Tuesday, Mr. McCain held a town hall-style meeting in Rochester...

8. Feminist Mumbo-Jumbo! - Do Men have the right to question Feminism? July 30, 2008 “Oh my dear God! You used the F-word?” No, it is not a mother scolding her child for swearing, but expressing her shock at the use of the word ‘feminism’. What indeed is feminism? To ask a man, who has grown up in a dominant patriarchal society (such as me), to define feminism is asking for an opinion or definition, prone to prejudice and stereotype. The typical male definition of feminism, is a group of women propagating a philosophy and following the maxim that all men are chauvinist pigs. Also, that all feminists are hardcore man haters. Needless to say implies that only women are or can b... (read more) Author: Pranay Rupani

9. The IIT and Prejudice July 24, 2008 As with any parent of a student aspiring to become a good engineer, even I was worried. Especially with so many options available to complete the graduation from and so many entrances to face it was ever more important for the students to make the right choices. IIT-JEE was and still is the most precious engineering entrance that any aspiring student would want to get through. It's easier said than done.

10. The splendour of the Victoria Falls July 07, 2008 Africa is a continent much maligned by public perception. The world seems to think that it is a curiously backward place, run by tyrants and dictators and beset by hatred, prejudice and violence. The truth, however, is not so dark and hopeless. The people are by and large peace loving, bent on living their lives as best they can, much like everyone else in the world. The towns and cities don’t all lack for amenities or luxuries, and technology is embraced as widely in Africa as any other continent. One thing that sets Africa apart from the rest of the world, however, is its natural beauty, whi... (read more) Author: Sandy Cosser

13. Prejudice and disability May 05, 2008 Disability is all in the eye of the beholder. If someone has lost a limb or has some equally visible sign of a physical problem, the reaction is usually sympathetic. But take away the more obvious visual clues, and how the general public will react becomes a lot less predictable. I am as blind as a bat without my spectacles but shortsightedness is socially acceptable. Not everyone with a disability is so fortunate. Everyone who has a mental disorder will understand this. People who are depressed are told to "get a grip" or "snap out of it" as if emotions can be controlled at will. Those w... (read more) Author: John Scott

16. Why does anxiety increase the risk of a heart attack? April 01, 2008 Xanax is now one of the most trusted of medications for the relief of anxiety. But, to many unsympathetic individuals, anxiety disorders are not real illnesses. You can always hear the complaints. These people are faking it to avoid working for a living. This kind of prejudice is difficult to fight because anxiety is something that happens inside your head. You seem out of control. You take a Xanax. You seem calm again. It is not like a broken leg that everyone can understand. To be anxious or even a little afraid is the most natural thing in the world. Ever since animals first developed ...

17. My Deck/Your Deck March 16, 2008 Our prejudice is completely in favor of the raised, wooden, DIY deck experience; so if you are looking for a "pros and cons" article, this is definitely not for you.

Decks are becoming more and more popular throughout America----here in the Sunny South, they are almost an expected architectural feature. It's not unusual to drive through neighborhoods where the majority of the houses have been "decked". ... (read more) Author: Fred Hoffman

This can only add fuel to an already raging fire. The particular referenced slur was in regards to the "Ching, Chong" that Ms. O'Donnell ... (read more) Author: Fabiola Castillo
