Changing the narrative – how to talk about climate change

@egotheist, one of the oldest SteemSTEM members still around, surprized us in coming back last week. He introduced a nice debate about climate change and how the way one talks about it could make a difference. With this illustration, he puts forward some great information about decision making and how it is influenced by risk. For more information on this very important topic, do not hesitate to have a look to his post.

The Social Birds & the Bees: The socialization of gender, a toy store ethnography

The gender issues is a real issue in the society of today. @alchemage introduces how our environment plays an important role with this respect, and addresses in particular how marketing, the way the parents treat their children relatively to their genders and more influence the outcome. if you feel so, please pass by and contribute to the debate.
