		<description><![CDATA[
Back in July, something happened in the U.S. that really rocked the racial boat. A police officer (white) arrested a Harvard professor (black). At his house! For disturbing the peace! Sound unbelievable? It really happened. It disturbed a lot of people, including President Obama. When he criticized the police officer&#8217;s conduct, he himself became the [...]]]></description>

Although smoking among German teens has declined in recent years, one in five of them (still) smoke according to a new study by the Robert Koch Institute.
Smoking among U.S. teens had also declined in the past decade, but &#8211; much to the disappointment of tobacco opponents &#8211; tobacco use among teens has remained constant at [...]]]></description>

Binge drinking, drinking alcohol with the intention of getting drunk quickly, is a growing social problem, mainly among young people.

We all know what stalking is, but it would be good, I think, if we tried to have a more empathetic and less abstract view of it. One way to gain a sense of the harsh reality of stalking is perhaps to think about what it’s like to be stared at. The extreme discomfort that [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s one topic I hope will SOON disappear and go away. But with all the experts saying it&#8217;s going to be with us for a while, I thought it would be a good idea to design a worksheet to help students gain an insight into this complex [...]]]></description>
