How it really feels to be fifty
Article Abstract:
Some people who have reached their 50s claim that they are not concerned about aging at all and that they feel very comfortable with their age and their appearance. However, it is possible that they are merely in a state of denial. The most effective way to deal with becoming older is to admit that you dislike it, forming the basis for a philosophical acceptance. It is important to accept the role of the dying, but it can be very difficult to convince people that this is not morbid.

Where the grass really is greener
Article Abstract:
There are many preconceptions about the US among Britons. However, most of this are misguided. Britons often believe that Americans are unintelligent, but they are in fact no more unintelligent than any other nation. It is also widely believed in the UK that Americans love the English, but this is also not necessarily the case. Some of what Britons believe about the US is true. American television is of very poor quality, for example, and Americans do drive everywhere.

Do high-flying jugglers really have it all?
Article Abstract:
Many working mothers in the UK find that their employers are still not really prepared to offer a great deal of flexibility. Large companies are more likely to have family-friendly policies than small ones, but it is only really women in very senior positions who feel able to make their working life adapt to their family commitments. Even in larger companies, policies on equal opportunities are not necessarily put into practice by male middle managers.
