Analysis

We live in a world increasingly dominated by mergers and corporate consolidation.

Children have big feelings. Even worse, children have big feelings over what seem to be rather inconsequential things.

We live in an era defined by speed, where everything, from information to personal gratification, seems to be just the push of a button away.

An argument with people who seem deaf to opposing views, instigating conflict, tribe against tribe, is probably a common experience for social media users. Some believe that it is so common that it should be the subject of a new field of research‒erisology, named after Eris, the goddess of discord in Greek mythology.

Once it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, Fjord stopped being just a film. Between the movie and its audience, the prestige of the award inserted itself, along with the accompanying expectations, suspicions, claims, and demands.

Fathers are an important part of their children’s lives. Good dads can provide stability, protection and love in a child’s life.

Eskimos don't have the word "quarrel" in their vocabulary. They live in a particularly harsh climate, so no one wants to risk getting pneumonia (or dying) just to prove that they are right.

Since this memorable moment, other closed doors have followed: employers rejecting my application, people not sharing my interests, groups giving me the feeling of not being accepted.

Christian author Beth Moore once called the book of Leviticus the graveyard of good intentions for those trying to read the Bible from start to finish.

What should we do with the “boring” Bible passages?

When a closed window shade becomes an SOS sent by those used to living on their own but afraid of dying alone, something has fundamentally changed in a society that not long ago valued human relationships.

Grandpa’s eyes, mother’s wide hips, aunt’s serene gaze, father’s ambition, great-grandmother’s rheumatism—all the little traits that define us seem to come from ancestral parents who, together, should have all the genes that anyone can have today, all the possible ingredients for the recipe from which we were made.
