Let's hear it for the brothel
Article Abstract:
The setting up of legalised brothels in the UK would mean the introduction of a system which would benefit all concerned. This would result in health checks for the men and women involved, the protection of those under age, and the provision of panic buttons for prostitutes. There are a few legalised brothels in Edinburgh, Scotland, which have improved prostitution, but there is apparently little moral support. Opposition to legalised brothels comes from upholders of family values, but it has to be accepted that there will always be those who provide and seek such a service.

Learning to look really hard
Article Abstract:
Drawing is an excellent way of recording ideas, according to artist David Hockney, whose drawings are currently to be seen in a retrospective at the Royal Academy in London, England. Drawing teaches people to look properly, and influences other areas of the arts, such as photography. It can be a very intense activity, as it does not take as long as painting and can therefore be easier to remember.

You can't blame it on the box
Article Abstract:
Latest research indicates that no direct link can be established between violence on television and violence in real life. However, it is likely that some people will still persist in claiming that television has a direct impact on violent social behaviour. This is because they seem to have a strong need to blame television for modern society's problems.
