Thou shalt love they natural parents
Article Abstract:
The recent case of a Zulu boy who has been removed from his foster mother in the UK and returned to a township near Johannesburg, South Africa, to live with parents with whom he has no common language, has attracted considerable controversy. He was the illegitimate son of the Zulu housekeeper of an Afrikaaner woman. The latter woman fostered him and took him with her to London at a young age. His natural parents have been reunited, and have taken legal action to have him returned. The court ruled in their favour, even though the child had clearly stated that he did not wish to leave his foster mother.

Why the green shopper is not being properly served
Article Abstract:
Ethical shopping is becoming an increasingly popular subject as the UK enjoys economic recovery. In times of depression, consumers simply select the cheapest items, regardless of ethical considerations, but they are now in a better position to be more selective. However, making the right ethical choices can be extremely complicated. This is particularly the case after revelations that some products which claimed to be ethically sound and environmentally-friendly were in fact not at all. Consumers are now beginning to realise that no purchase can be totally ethically sound and environmentally friendly.

Roundheads who would steal our dreams
Article Abstract:
A recent report from the National Council of Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) is very critical of the National Lottery, claiming that it is taking money away from charities and encouraging people to gamble at very poor odds with money they cannot afford to spend. These statements have some truth in them, but are out of touch with the attitude of ordinary people towards participating in the National Lottery. Most people see it as simple fun, and enjoy being able to dream about what they would do if they won a large sum of money.
