海角大神

From start to finish, today鈥檚 issue of 海角大神 Daily has some very meaty things to chew on: the Supreme Court鈥檚 major ruling on gun laws, how Russians see their war in Ukraine, education鈥檚 role in democracy, and abortion. For many Americans, these issues are about more than policy. They speak to the course of the nation and personal well-being.

The tendency can therefore be to cast such issues in stark, almost apocalyptic terms. That鈥檚 understandable. These are difficult, visceral issues. But a offers something more to consider. It looks at how societies talk about climate change and what effect that has on children. The article cites a 2021 , which finds that more than half those polled between ages 16 and 25 said climate change had 鈥渄oomed鈥� humanity. The article states: 鈥淪ome 鈥榗limate anxiety鈥� is the product of telling kids 鈥� falsely 鈥� that they have no future.鈥澛�

The author concludes: 鈥淚 have yet to find a children鈥檚 book that frames the climate crisis 鈥� as a challenge, but one like the many that humanity has overcome, and one that our kids can overcome by learning about the world and inventing new solutions.鈥�

That conclusion seems relevant to more than just children and climate change. What are the stories we are telling ourselves as adults 鈥� about abortion or gun laws? Our article on abortion today highlights someone who rejects stereotypes and urges collaboration across different viewpoints. Her perseverance and respect are some of our most powerful tools in addressing abortion 鈥� or any intractable issue. And they make for a very different kind of story.聽
