Something big
Article Abstract:
Being fat has been regarded extremely negatively since the early years of the 20th century. This has been reinforced over recent years by medical evidence which indicates that being fat can bring serious health problems. However, more people are now beginning to recognise that dieting can bring dangers too, possibly causing problems such as anaemia, kidney stones and constipation. It is likely that medical technology will eventually make it possible to lose weight at will. If this is the case, then being thin will probably stop being fashionable.

Daddy, we hardly know you
Article Abstract:
It is now widely accepted that fathers should strive to be close to their children and should play an active role in their upbringing. However, the working life of most fathers is still organised in such a way that this is almost impossible. Furthermore, children usually go to their mother, rather than their father, after a divorce, and men seem to be being denied equal rights. Recent research has shown that fathers who are actively involved with their sons can have a very positive impact on their sons' lives.

Is God good for your health?
Article Abstract:
Dr. Elizabeth Targ, clinical director of the psycho-social oncology research unit at California Pacific Medical Centre, San Francisco, has written a report which indicates that prayer can help healing. Professional healers prayed for ten weeks for ten patients suffering from Aids, and none of them died but showed improved health, whilst six people for whom prayers were not offered died. There are over 200 reports which indicate that people with religious beliefs are happier, healthier and live longer.
