Here are some articles and a handout for this week's readings.

• There are 3 short articles on the Tsunami giving some background information from an MOE handout from 2006.
• Then there is the very interesting review of the BBC's survey and findings about the UK family as it is today.
• Next, a quirky issue, in India there is now a gang of women in rural india using violence/ vigilante methods to get justice for the oppressedd. What do you think? Is this the right thing to do?
• Finally, from USA today, we have two views on whether teen drinking age should be lowered from 21 to 18.

Plus, for your information, I have included a graphic from the UK Guardian newspaper about global warming and its impact on man in the near future.

I would appreciate your reactions to any or all of these articles.

Have a happy holiday.
