Tem algo que eu vejo muito que não vejo aqui ! São os gurus da Internet, me referiro principalmente aos que focam sobre desenvolvimento humano, pasmem, não sabem se quer o que dizem tão pouco o que é desenvolvimento humano!

There's something I see a lot that I don't see here , it's internet guris, I'm mainly referring to those who talk about human development, surprisingly, they don't know what they're saying and so little about human development

Augustus Hopkins Strong, Baptist seminary president, reflects on Acts 17:26: we are all made of one blood, a common life throbs in all our veins. Nothing human is foreign to us.

There could be much to repent of in how society treat the stranger without advocating for “open borders”.

How can you be your brother’s keeper?

William Paley, Anglican preacher and apologist, says that torture brings pressure for relief, leads to false confession. It makes for grievous and irreparable injustices.

Is this teaching of Paley taught in homeschool curricula? How many “progressive” Hollywood writers paint torture as quick way to save the innocent? We teach the opposite of Paley to our kids.

How can you fight grievous and irreparable injustices?

Threats to #MangroveForests

"Unfortunately, there are many challenges that place mangrove forests under threat. Human impact such as #dredging, #filling, #WaterPollution from #herbicides and #development can lead to mangrove erosion and #HabitatDestruction. When mangrove forests are cleared and destroyed, they release massive amounts of #CarbonDioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to #ClimateChange."

I’ve just wrapped up my third quarter at Palo Alto University’s counseling program. From the complexities of diagnosing with the DSM-5-TR to exploring human development, this quarter was the heaviest yet.

I’m grateful for the collaborative spirit of my classmates and the guidance from our professors. Together, we’re preparing to make a meaningful impact in the lives of our future clients.

At the half-way point of the 2030 Agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) “are in deep trouble.” The need to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals has never been more urgent as only approximately 12% of targets are currently on track. “Planet” is equally at risk as “people”...

The Real Drivers of Global Migration: A Twenty-Year Analysis Debunks Common Narrative
A study has found that socioeconomic conditions, rather than climate factors, are the primary drivers of global migration. Utilizing a new high-resolution dataset, the research indicates that migration patterns are complex and vary significantly within countries, challenging common perceptions about migration and climate change.

#USA #QualityOfLife #HumanDevelopment: "One might think that the United States, home of the world's biggest tech companies and the country where the internet originated, might be unchallenged in internet connectivity. Figures say otherwise: The U.S. ranks 27th in global internet connectivity. Part of the reason might be cost: Within the OECD, a group of mostly rich industrialized countries, the U.S. has the second most expensive internet service for customers.

This story of high prices and poor outcomes is true almost across the board for vital services, and there is none more vital than health care. The U.S. spends 17.8 percent of GDP on health care, nearly twice as much as the average OECD country. Health spending per person in America is almost twice as high as in the next most expensive country, Germany, and four times higher than in South Korea.

Does that high cost lead to better health? It does not. Probably the best proxy for the adequacy of health care is longevity; according to the UN, the U.S. ranks No. 70 out of 227 sovereign or semi-sovereign state entities. That's below most European NATO members, South Korea, Japan and Israel, just to name three countries the U.S. has pledged to defend militarily, at potentially huge expense. It's also below China."
