Why We Need To Make Politics A Mandatory High School Topic

Basic politics is easy to grasp, but trying to teach yourself politics, in an unbiased manner, is very difficult. In my high school Social Education was made a mandatory subject, taught once a week, for the entity of the high school education, And while repeatedly learning the same things about sex and drugs is SO important there is no education on basic politics to speak of. Also I was never taught how to write a cheque, pay bills, or set up insurance, but those are separate issues.

BBC Three's 'I Survived a Zombie Apocalypse' just the new Big Brother?

Basing any prior knowledge on the flashy, awe grabbing advert for the new reality T.V. show on BBC Three, I survived a Zombie Apocalypse, one had hoped that the show would be just as existing as the advert was. Hope thrived on the idea that putting regular people into such a scenario would bring out the best and worst qualities in an amusing, secretly recorded non-scripted way. Seeing the show finally pop up on BBC IPlayer gave cause to drop everything else just to watch it. The opening credits infused the idea, based on the long growing suspicion that radio waves are bad for our brains in some as of yet unknown way, the possibility that heightening these waves to far could cause serious neurological damage, and in this case cause the feared 'Zombies' It was all very flashy, clever and almost believable, well that is until the people started pulling in.
