Abstract
|
| |
The unrest in the Arab world, which has continued for over a year now, implies one important conclusion beyond the regional struggle for democracy: the unrest is very much about new, globally important technology, but even more about a crucial geopolitical breakthrough - an escape from the logics of the hydrocarbon status quo. |

Abstract

Myths and stereotypical notions on disease shape identities. This is particularly so in the case
of the notions related to mental illness and STIs. Prevalent social stereotypes related to these
diseases represent cultural lore which is complemented by different myths handed down by
elders or other authorities of the society. Unfortunately the myths and stereotypes of these
diseases often lead to stigma. |
