Festival of Dangerous Ideas - Public Speaking competition

Had I known about this, I would have stepped up to the plate and participated in this. And yes, I will bring music into the debate, especially heavy metal. For instance, is heavy metal really 'dangerous'? Or is the 'phobia' of the music, the bands and its fans justified because of the 'misdeeds' of a few (like the Night Stalker or the Columbine Massacres)?

Obesity affects job prospects for women - News Obesity affects job prospects for women Obese women are more likely to be discriminated against when applying for jobs and receive lower starting salaries than their non-overweight colleagues, a new study has found. The study, led by Monash University and published in the International Journal of Obesity , examined whether a recently developed measure of anti-fat prejudice, the universal measure of bias (UMB), predicted actual obesity job discrimination. The international research team also assessed whether people’s own body image, and dimensions of personality such as authoritarianism and social dominance orientation, were related to obesity discrimination. Lead researcher, Dr Kerry O’Brien, from the School of Political and Social Inquiry, said the nature of the study was initially concealed from the participants to avoid biased results. “Participants viewed a series of resumes that had a small photo of the supposed job applic...
