"Congratulations on your new family you will probably be able to relate to my other blog too."
Gergely Fliegauf commented on Suzanne Young's blog post 'The 1st year of a PhD'"Somehow I feel the both right, the field and the reviews. Here in Hungary we have to face with redoubled issues, since there are some findings in Hungarian, but we have to review also the English literature. I did the following: first try to find…"

The new femininity? Lets tar all young women with the same brush!
Several years ago I started out investigating whether girls and young women are really as bad as the media makes out. Articles such as this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2046884/Binge-drinking-Why-intelligent-women-drink-oblivion-night.html continue to raise the issue of young women's behaviour as socially unacceptable.

The London Riots
Like most people I had my own opinion of the London Riots and I must stree I do not condone the behaviour of those terrifying nights. However I attempted to try to express why such an event had occurred and as I expected some people were set on disagreeing without backing their arguments. Below is an extract from one such debate and you can see that by the end I was exhausted trying to get people to open their…
