Like his mother Princess Diana, Prince Harry is a man of the people. He has a natural way of connecting. Perhaps because he is not afraid of 1embracing his vulnerability.
Researcher Professor at Houston University, Brené Brown says, “Connection is why we’re here. It’s what gives us purpose and meaning to our lives… In order for connection to happen, we have to allow ourselves to be seen, vulnerably seen.”
Everyone has heard of the West Bank and Gaza, the Occupied Palestinian Territories. But few have cared to visit the two pieces of land the Palestinians ended up with in 1948, and which have been occupied by the Israelis since the 1967 War. Now, with his Walled Off Hotel that opened in March, Banksy, the anonymous British street artist and colleague of Sam 3, hopes to change that.
Few visit because the West Bank and Gaza are synonymous in our minds with conflict. What happens in this corner of the world has been happening for so long, we have become immune to it. It sounds 1unfair but it is so far away. The conflict looks as though it will never be solved. And it doesn’t affect us.
Britain has had three terrorist attacks this year. Along with 47 other countries, including Spain, it is on the list of destinations where another attack is “1highly likely” because of the radicalisation of young Muslims.
Of course, terrorism has always existed – think ETA and the IRA. Now we have Islamic terrorism and the more we try to shut it out with travel 2bans and immigration restrictions, the worse the problem becomes.
With the 1backlash against Muslims following terrorism attacks, the anti-immigration feelings behind Brexit and Donald Trump’s proposed travel 2ban for 6 Muslim countries, many people are expressing resistance to an increasingly global reality. But how many of us are prepared to call ourselves racist?
Many psychologists believe that all of us are racist to some degree. The British, the Germans, the Americans, the Indians, the Chinese – every nationality under the sun, even the Spanish.
Marriage isn’t easy at the best of times but when you’re trying to pretend it’s something it’s not, it gets a lot harder, as Melania Trump is discovering.
Intrigued by the apparent 1lack of complicity between the two, social media has focused on one public engagement after another when they appear to be distant and unsupportive of the other, with hashtags like #SaveMelania and #SadMelania.
