Body Image: Just what do people go through to look good? Botox and Plastic surgery all appear regularly on our screens and in the papers. Is it healthy or desirable? Do we just need a lesson on how to value ourselves, feel comfortable in our skins and grow old gracefully?
Discussion Topic for April 16th is:
Corruption: British MPs may have been behaving badly but their antics are put into the shade by what goes on elsewhere in politics and business. What is the extent of the problem and how does it damage societies?
