Ethical and political dilemmas abound these days. Seems like we’re all in need of a New Internationalist perspective. Enter stage: Agony Uncle.
Dear Agony Uncle,
Help! I fear I am in danger of losing all sense of possibility. When I see the trivial obsessions of so many around me, when the world’s problems are increasingly urgent, and the strengthening of political currents powered by hate and scapegoating rather than any serious consideration of the issues at hand, I just want to rage and rage.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
