Does poor spelling really make President Trump unfit for office?

...attention to detail and decorum. This norm is so embedded that over the years, rogue spelling errors have inflicted serious damage on a number of political careers. The most well-known of these is probably George HW Bush’s famously inept vice-president, Dan Quayle: visiting a school in 1992, he “corrected” a student’s spelling of the word “potato” to...

Why mothers post about their children on social media

...attention to something of which one is proud.” Here’s an example from an article in the Huffington Post: Tripped over on my way home from collecting Jemima from her GRADE SEVEN cello exam. What an idiot. The link between humblebragging and pride suggests that parents – and mothers in particular – face a real ethical struggle when posting about their children and...

...attention. There were some governance issues, most notably the mid-competition withdrawal of Ellan Vannin (the Manx name for the Isle of Man) in a dispute over an unregistered player. Further political and governance challenges are likely in the future as CONIFA continues to develop and grow. But its expansion reflects and shapes the interests of the football community in...

Ireland cycling history: whizzing in all directions

...attention of the international bicycle racing world. A similar honour was bestowed on the country when the first stages of the 1998 Tour de France were held in Munster and Leinster, partly to mark the bicentenary of the 1798 Rebellion. One of the stages of the 1998 Tour was routed through Carrick-on-Suir, the home town of Sean Kelly, in recognition of that rider's...

Methods in Motion: Emotionally sensing knowledge

...attention is often paid to how emotions influence interpretation of the data. We sought to engage in the sometimes uncomfortable process of acknowledging our differing responses to the interview transcripts and reflect on our approach with the field researchers in order to develop a shared cross-cultural understanding.

Freedom of speech

...attention to those things might well increase the probability of violence being committed against that group, but would it be wrong to do so? This, of course, underpins the complaint that ‘political correctness’ has prevented those in authority from calling out bad behaviour supposedly characteristic of certain racial groups.

Keeping Mum: learning how to be a father

...with young men themselves, suggests that many boys learn some of their most important adult skills – including how to be caring, involved fathers – as much from their mothers and from the other women in their lives. Perhaps we need to pay more attention to boys’ need for positive female role models if we’re to develop a new generation of well-adjusted young men....
