What if instead of fighting racial bias as adults, we worked to prevent it from ever happening in the first place, with kids? "These programs that occur later in development are good at interventions, kind of helping something that already exists. If we did it earlier, it'd be more of a prevention effort, stopping it from developing in the first place."That's professor and researcher Eva Telzer. Her work on developmental psychology has been cited by media outlets all over the country.

Every year, thousands of students across Pakistan enroll in medical schools and engineering universities. Many more thousands apply and aspire — only to be told that they are not good enough. The entire process is robotic and devoid of human experience, and therefore prone to accept people of a certain mould and reject those who may have a lot to offer in terms of personal stories, commitment and passion. But we are getting ahead of ourselves here; let us first look at how the admission system works in the professional higher education sector.At most universities, admissions are a combination >>>

Follow I hosted some friends one evening not so long ago and listened to two in particular have a lengthy discussion on why the other should not use red lipstick because it was loud, bold and not appropriate for her complexion.
