LITERATURE & WRITING TIPS
A scholar's take on Realism and Modernism: Part I Part 2 Part 3.
A lesson in logical fallacies, in which each fallacy gets its own biting haiku.
A writer's take on 3 Levels of Conflict necessary for a good story: global (the character against the world), local (between characters) and inner.
Several basic but sometimes helpful writing tips.
POLITICS, SOCIETY, CULTURE & the rest
When climate change becomes a matter of war and peace. Explanation of the economic factor in the Syrian civil war.
Israeli vs. Palestinian narratives. The linked blog is the most extreme Israeli Left, and I disagree with much written in it. However, this column presents the narratives well.
The Politics of Security in a Democracy. Why do politicians tend to overreact to terrorist threats?
THE ROOTS OF HORROR: The Institutionalized Destruction of Innocence -- and of Life Authoritarian parenting: its causes and the far-reaching socio-political effects.
This newly-found blog has many other interesting posts, f.e. "When Life and Happiness Are Not Enough: The Tragedy of the Unborn Self." Are people right to "decry the obsession with narrow self-interest"? Do we really need "noble, higher purpose"?
UNUSUAL PHOTOS
Incredible Self Portraits by 14-Year-Old Photographer. "Zev from Natick, Massachusetts, has taken the photography world by storm with his surreal photo manipulations. Better known by the nickname of ‘fiddle oak’ […] His work seems to mirror the transition from the fairy-tale childhood worlds into more complicated and still unknown ones."
Photo collection of wooden mobile houses looking like "gingerbread Victorian houses on wheels."
See the past like you wouldn't believe. Paris in color 1909-1930. At the page's bottom you can find links to other capsules. I loved the 1909-1915: Color photographs of Imperial Russia.
