Food and takeaway litter has increased the rat population to 60 million. (HDC) Why is there so much litter? Is it the increase in fast food, hygienic packaging or excess spending power etc? We are a throwaway society. However, whatever the litter, it is ultimately down to you, the individual. No excuses! It is your personal decision where to put unwanted stuff. A weed is a plant growing in the wrong place; litter is unwanted stuff left in the wrong place. It is your personal decision to spit out gum, drop cigarette stubs, cups, bottles, cans, paper etc in a public place and not be bothered to find a bin or take it home for your own bins. We have many rights in this country – much advertised by political parties – do not forget that all rights should come with responsibility. You are responsible for your litter. If you drop it or leave it in a public place are you: mindless, inconsiderate, selfish, lazy, irresponsible, thoughtless, stupid, careless, rebellious or plain awkward and don’t care about the environment? You choose the description for yourself – but there isn’t a nice adjective to suit a deliberate litterbug. Be ashamed, be very ashamed – you should be. Please make an effort to be clean. Parents, grandparents – if any of the above adjectives were to apply to your children – how would you feel? Teach them young. ‘All that is necessary for litter to triumph is for the tidy to do nothing.’(Theodore Dalrymple) Next month - car drivers, car parks and dog owners – it won’t be pretty.

For the people of Steyning it must have been extremely difficult to accept repeated changes in direction in what they had to believe. Would local people who had been brought up in the Catholic faith have viewed the burning on Chantry Green differently from the younger men and women who had been raised to believe in Protestantism?

  • The Brooklyn College Foundation Annual Report, 2004–2005
    The Brooklyn College Foundation Annual Report, 2004–2005 On the cover: Architectural plan for realization of the campus design envisioned by Brooklyn College’s founding architect, Randolph Evans, in 1935. The plan proposes new entrances to Roosevelt and James Halls, a new West Quad to mirror the existing East Quad, and a new building to anchor the entire campus west of Bedford Avenue. The West Quad Project is one of several ambitious plans the College has launched to build a modern, student-centered campus conducive to learning and scholarship. Dear Friends of Brooklyn College At Brooklyn College in the last year, we have been busy building— not only the physical campus, but also the educational environment that best encourages vigorous learning and scholarship. Our priorities result largely from initiatives we launched during the first five years of my presidency—and particularly within the last twelve months. These include expanding the campus, renewing the natural sciences, and broadening our fiscal base. The physical transformation of the campus continues apace. We have doubled the size of the Morton and Angela Topfer Library Café, and it is open again 24/7. Over the summer, we renovated and modernized eleven lecture halls in Ingersoll Hall. We move ahead with the West Quad Project, laying out a new quadrangle and pouring the foundation for a new building. We have begun a major rebuilding of our science facilities and our science curriculum. The project will proceed in two stages. First, Roosevelt Hall will be transformed into a science building; then we will renovate Ingersoll Hall. The science faculty meanwhile has been discussing and defining the shape science teaching and research should take at the College.

  • Pope Francis Shows a New Way to Be Pro-Life by Francis X
    JANUARY 17, 2014 VOLUME 48, NUMBER 1 INSIDE: Pages 2-3: Diocese celebrates 90 years of mission work Page 4: Why march for life? Pages 9-12: Catholic Charities’ annual report Pages 19: St. John the Baptist Preschool Marks anniversary Pope Francis Shows a New Way to Be Pro-Life By Francis X. Rocca Catholic News Service On the morning of Jan. 25, 2013, participants in the Washington, D.C., March for Life received an unexpected boost in the form of a Twitter message from Pope Benedict XVI. “I join all those marching for life from afar, and pray that political leaders will protect the unborn and promote a culture of life,” the pope wrote on his account, @Pontifex. This Jan. 22, when marchers on the Mall again protest the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 decision legalizing abortion, Pope Francis might very well follow Pope Benedict’s lead by tweeting his sup- port. If he does, those words will be among the relatively few Pope Francis has devoted to the subject. Pope Francis’ decision to talk less than his predecessors about abortion has puzzled and distressed some supporters of the pro- life movement. Yet the pope has made clear his commitment to the defense of unborn life and, thanks to his colossal popularity and gift for communicating across cultural divides, his pontificate could prove a boon to the pro-life cause in enormous and unprecedented ways. The pope’s comparative reticence on abortion became evident to many observers a few months into his pontificate. At a June Vatican Mass dedicated to pro-life causes, an event that had been planned under Pope Benedict, Pope Francis surprised many when delivered a homily without any reference to abortion, euthanasia or any other specific threat to life.

    Journal of Moral Philosophy (2020) 1-25 Shaming, Blaming, and Responsibility Lucy McDonald St John’s College, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom [email protected] Abstract Despite its cultural prominence, shaming has been neglected in moral philosophy. I develop an overdue account of shaming, which distinguishes it from both blaming and the mere production of shame. I distinguish between two kinds of shaming. Agential shaming is a form of blaming. It involves holding an individual morally responsible for some wrongdoing or flaw by expressing a negative reactive attitude towards her and inviting an audience to join in. Non-agential shaming also involves negatively evaluating a person and inviting an audience to join in. Yet it is not a form of blaming, because the shamer does not hold the target morally responsible for anything. For example, we non-agentially shame people for their body shapes, for having periods, or for being victims of rape. Non-agential shaming involves the expression of an emotionally toned objective attitude, like disgust. While agential shaming enforces social norms, non-agential shaming enforces social standards. Keywords blame – reactive attitudes – responsibility – shame – shaming Shaming is in vogue. It is the subject of several best-selling books, and every day we encounter news stories and social media posts about ‘slut-sham- ing,’ ‘body-shaming,’ and ‘mom-shaming.’1 Sometimes shaming is subjected to hand-wringing over its dangerous consequences, and other times it is encouraged, with demands that perpetrators of wrongdoing be ‘named and 1 See Jon Ronson, So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed (London: Picador, 2015) and Jennifer Jacquet, Is Shame Necessary?: New Uses for an Old Tool (London: Penguin Books, 2016).
