“Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do… “practice”?”  ― George Carlin. Unknown to many, medicines (medicinal, remedy) – drugs, have killed millions over the centuries. The word “medicine” (cure, remedy) is rooted in the Old French ‘medecine’ (art of healing, cure, treatment, potion).  Another word used for “drugs” (meaning – dry […]

I am, by nature, observant and this has been very useful for me, in my work. For this article, I am taking into consideration a number of businesses that have come to my attention in recent years.

At the 2005 World Economic Forum in Davos, Nestlé – ‘Good food, good life’ – received 29 per cent of the vote for the ‘world’s least responsible company’ – twice as many votes as the next on the list: Monsanto.

There are often hundreds of magazines on the newsagent’s shelves and there are always one or two that attract your attention more than others.

Steve Peters, in his book “The Chimp Paradox” points to the fact that we belong to “troops” (groups, clans) and that: “we reject people who are dissimilar to us”. Some people are very opinionated.
