Reading the details of the US execution story from last night and it is absolute barbarism. Like reading a history of the medieval period.

That is a provocative and widely shared perspective. Many sociologists, psychologists, and philosophers agree that modern society heavily conditions individuals through cultural norms, education systems, media, and economic structures to behave in predictable, compliant ways.

"Boycott her in bed... and discipline them physically as well, by lightly hitting them to show who is in charge." These are the words of a sermon delivered at a London mosque which, as a registered charity, receives tax breaks to undertake 'the advancement of religion'.

Trains are not always on time. Neither is life. We go on anyway.
PHOTO by Viktor Mogilat. Night fog settles over a railway station. On the left, a commuter train slides past in a soft blur, its rows of windows glowing warm amber, beneath overhead wires that cross a rust-colored sky. On the right, a long empty platform stretches toward a small shelter, where a single lamp pours a pale beam through the mist. A lone figure stands beside the shelter, head bowed, as a dark fence runs alongside. Light and fog rest together.
