Elections, Expulsions and the Polls
The proposal for a revision of the election process finally made it into the Chamber of Deputies this week, as neo-Premier Matteo Renzi had promised, but it does not quite resemble the deal expected after he and former Premier Silvio Berlusconi had a widely publicized (and widely criticized) meeting to hash it out.

Stereotypes? Don’t “Fugget About It”
To understand how and why stereotypes can affect viewers’ conceptions of reality, we need to know where stereotypes come from and why are they used.
Pope Francis: Revolution From Above?
Even a pope with his charisma cannot change it by himself. Pontiff Bergoglio has chartered the course of hope, instilling a feeling in many people—believers and non-believers—that they can expect the Church to be less bent on power and more open to engaging with a different world.
