  Healing From Infidelity

  Infidelity is breaking a promise to remain faithful to a romantic partner, whether that promise was a part of marriage vows, a privately uttered agreement between lovers, or an unspoken assumption. As unthinkable as the notion of breaking such promises may be at the time they are made, infidelity is common, and when it happens, it raises thorny questions: Should you stay? Can trust be rebuilt? Or is there no choice but to pack up and move on?For the adulterer, infidelity can be exciting and seductive, conferring feelings of renewal, rejuvenation, and joy. Infidelity is a betrayal, but it isn’t necessarily the end of love; cheating occurs even in happy relationships. The partner being betrayed may feel confusion, anger, doubt, pain, and heartbreak.Most people know the costs of cheating in a relationship, particularly in a marriage. Betrayal can lead to divorce and parental disruption, and infidelity is a predictor of depression, anxiety, and domestic violence. Yet many stray anyway, prompting the question: Why? In surveys of individuals who have cheated, falling out of love, seeking variety, and feeling neglected were the most commonly cited reasons, followed by situational forces, a desire to raise self-esteem, and anger with a partner.Men have always been more likely than women to cheat, or at least to report having done so, but researchers have noticed a shift in recent years: 16% of adults, about 20% of men, and 13% of women report that they’ve had sex with someone other than their spouse while married. But among adults under 30 who have been married, 11% of women say having committed infidelity, as opposed to 10% of men.The line between innocent flirtation and romantic betrayal is often elastic, and many couples face conflict because partners do not share the same definition of cheating. For some, anything short of sexual contact with someone else is acceptable; for others, any attention to a potential rival is unforgivable.The term “micro-cheating” refers

  Roman Society and Culture - A...

  Roman society, one of the most influential civilizations in human history, was built upon a complex and well-structured foundation that evolved over centuries. The origins of Roman civilization can be traced back to the early settlements along the Tiber River, where communities of farmers and shepherds gradually coalesced into the city-state of Rome. As Rome expanded, both geographically and politically, its social structure grew more intricate, reflecting a blend of indigenous customs and influences from conquered territories. 
  At the heart of Roman society was a rigid social hierarchy, essential to maintaining order and stability. This structure was divided primarily into two main classes: the patricians and the plebeians. The patricians were the elite, consisting of noble families who claimed descent from Rome's founding fathers. They held significant political power and owned vast lands. In contrast, the plebeians represented the common people, including farmers, craftsmen, and laborers. Though initially excluded from many aspects of governance, the plebeians gradually secured political rights through persistent social struggles, leading to the establishment of the office of the Tribune, which protected their interests. 
  Apart from these major classes, Roman society also included a growing number of slaves, who were often prisoners of war or born into servitude. Slavery was integral to the Roman economy, with slaves performing various tasks, from domestic duties to skilled labor in workshops. Despite their lack of freedom, some slaves, particularly those with specialized skills, could earn their emancipation, gaining the status of freedmen and integrating into the lower echelons of society.

  Can gender stereotypes in childhood be more destructive than our culture perceives and stand in the way of gender equality? 
   
   
   
  When Jodi Bondi Norgaard, an experienced entrepreneur, attempted to shake-up the toy industry with a sports doll that appeals to today's more athletic, adventurous girls, she came to realize the roadblocks to success weren't only reluctant toy buyers, but a patriarchal culture that perpetuates gender roles and sexism. More Than a Doll is about her mission to break gender stereotypes and challenge the status quo. 
   
   
   
  Through illuminating testimonials, data, research, interviews, and cultural observations, listeners will come away with clear examples of the dangers of early gender stereotyping and how we continue to fail to see the harm. 
   
   
   
  After all: "It's just a toy." "It's just a t-shirt." "It's just a show." 
   
   
   
  Bondi Norgaard is sounding the siren that gender inequality doesn't begin in our teens, it begins the moment a child can hold a toy or book or watch a screen. The programing starts early, and the impact is lifelong.

  Called By The Wild - The Dogs...

  The thrilling story of a pioneering conservationist working with dogs to protect wildlife from poachers.
  Conraad de Rosner is one of the first game rangers to focus on working with specially trained dogs to protect wildlife from poachers – both 'bushmeat' poachers, who use cruel snares to trap animals, and criminal syndicates killing for rhinoceros horn and capturing critically endangered pangolins, the most trafficked animal in the world.
  Con's life – constantly at risk from poachers, wildlife and even his own fellow rangers – has been saved on numerous occasions by his devoted canine companions. His first dog, Zingela, a Weimaraner, saved Con from near certain death at the hands of two fellow rangers; on another occasion, Zingela alerted Con to a concealed wounded buffalo, one of Africa's most dangerous animals, about to charge.
  When Zingela was tragically killed, hit by a car while Con was away, the only meagre consolation was that Con had kept Landa, one of the nine puppies sired by Zingela. Landa followed in his father's footsteps as the leader of the canine anti-poaching team that is still operating today. Con's story is an epic of modern-day African wildlife conservation, filled with courage, adventure and romance.
