The former president of South Africa is the latest example of moral authority, the most valuable asset in politics

vultures roam, family said. Charges were later dropped, but who can blame the family, visiting the ancient patriarch in his camp bed hospital guarded by a growing world press. Anyone happen this morbid intrusion lenses and microphones whose goal is simply to wait for death.

But the rest of us should not condemn too harshly journalists who are willing to bring us the news of the death of Nelson Mandela. They are not there to feed like vultures, but to respond to what is a global desire to mark a time that is very rare. For once, the whole world will join in mourning. Dissenting voices are rare or nonexistent. For Mandela is in a category, a person universally known and admired, even loved, almost as wide.

This is why the press outside the heart of Pretoria Mediclinic hospital is so great, why the U.S. president, on a tour of Africa, is in the unfamiliar position of hoping that a meeting may be granted. In truth, no one on the surface of the Earth could have this treatment. There will be a reaction in the country - more, I think many realize - when the Queen dies. Hundreds of millions of Catholics around the world mourn the Pope when their time comes. There are other figures with a great international success. But none has the prestige of Mandela, a man whose name has a unique moral weight in any language.

and morality is the word. It defines Mandela outside its higher than any other living person moral authority. It is the source of great interest and the source of the pain that will flow when it is gone now. However, the moral authority is a strange elusive quality. We think we know when we see it, but what they are doing to much? Who has it and how is it used?

suffers the usual requirement. Harsh to say bluntly that, although most of those who can not silence an audience of their presence have been an event that commands our sympathy and therefore our respect. To turn into three disparate examples: Doreen Lawrence lost his son, Stephen, when he was killed by a gang of racist white youths in 1993, the Israeli novelist David Grossman lost his son, Uri, when he was killed combat during the Lebanon War of 2006, James Brady initially lost the use of his legs and most of his speech and cognitive function when he was shot in the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan in 1981. The three are generally granted a hearing, but not always heard, in part because of what they have suffered.

But the pain is not enough. There is, sad to say, other mothers of teenagers killed who do not have the prestige of Lawrence. What distinguishes it is the 20-year campaign for justice that has struggled since the death of his son. It is in this context is meant as Grossman talks to additional moral authority on the conflict between Israel and its neighbors or Brady on the control of firearms. Everyone has channeled his combat experience whatsoever for justice, peace and ending violence.

Moreover, this is how this fight that increases or decreases the moral authority of an activist. Lawrence said that the hairs on the current-snapshot description of it as "worthy." However, what is fundamental to the gravity below. His calm, refusing to rant or rave - even if these explosions are quite understandable - to improve their situation. This became clear once again this week, The Guardian revealed that the Metropolitan Police had sent spies infiltrated campaign to discredit Lawrence. Grace Doreen Lawrence said the past two decades, it was considered a breach too far.

importantly, how they reacted to the brutality they had endured, his generosity towards his captors and their lack of desire for revenge against the white minority had served wider than was established as a kind of comparisons. If secular saint is an expression with a sense applies to Mandela.

- Jim Carrey (@ JimCarrey) June 23, 2013

want (more or less) to distance themselves from the whole production:

I wanted to apologize to those involved with the film. I'm not ashamed of it, but recent events have caused a change in my heart.

- Jim Carrey (@ JimCarrey) June 23, 2013

Carrey has some credibility on arms control. Twitter has actively taken this year to stimulate legislative action in the U.S. Senate, and he made a video parody of Charlton Heston, the former spokesman for the National Rifle Association and the gun lobby in favor of his " I give you my gun when you go out of my cold, dead hands "mantra. But the fact remains that it has signed a film titled Kick-Ass 2. The title leaves little to the imagination. This was clearly not a comedy or children's program about penguins. Even your backlinks says "not ashamed", an ambiguous environment.


But now? You probably will not be reprising his role Grinch here, but not exactly the best pipe Bruce Almighty, whatever. Like many cynics have pointed out, almost certainly Carrey has received payment for his role in the film. It's a little late to wash their hands of things.

There is much evidence that public opinion on nanotechnology will be determined by religious beliefs

In Halo fiction short history of science, a group of Muslim scholars discuss a slice of bacon made by a "molecular assembler" means a device capable of producing meat directly from atoms Individual Instead of cutting the flesh of an animal. All pork is prohibited under the laws of Islam halal. Synthetic Bacon is identical to the real one, but it has never been part of a living pig. Is it still banned?

"The story may seem like a joke, but it shows that the ability of nanotechnology to manipulate atoms can change the material world, to raise religious issues," said Chris Toumey, a cultural anthropologist University of South Carolina, who has studied the relationship between nanotechnology and faith.

mainly secular voices that have expressed their thoughts and concerns about nanotechnology so far, but there is much evidence that public opinion will be determined by religious beliefs. For example, a 2009 study found that the strength of religious beliefs in the United States has a negative relationship with the financial support of nanotechnology. Study the same year found that the most religious country, unless nanotechnology tends to find morally acceptable.

far, religions have been remarkably silent on nanotechnology points outside Toumey. Nothing compared to the difficult bioethical controversies on IVF in the Catholic world, for example. "Nanotechnology is a diverse body of science and technology: some religious groups have enough universities or magazines to discuss such a complicated issue," said Toumey. "Your attention can be stopped if there is a dramatic, either positive, something like a cure against cancer, or negative, as an ecological catastrophe." The absence of official documents, it is difficult to guess the religious beliefs, but this is an opportunity for scientists to prepare in advance.

"I think there was a lot of concern about nanotechnology in religious thought, because if you look in detail the concerns that pose no nanotechnology per se, but rather specific applications, as well as food and the environment, "says Donald Bruce, founder of Edinethics consultancy based in Edinburgh, who worked for the Church of Scotland.

Analysis of the few studies on the views of believers found

Toumey shared by many religions concern that nanotechnology will change the way of human nature. "Religious communities have responded to the representation of nanotechnology by a group of popular writers, called transhumanism," says Toumey.

Transhumanism is a cultural movement that considers the technology (including nano) of direct artificial human evolution, elimination of the disease, prolong life indefinitely, and use of information technology to reach cyberimmortality something storage as "the soul" of a person on a hard drive. One of its most famous advocates is the futurist Ray Kurzweil. Transhumanist ideas on the immortality of the soul and applies directly shared by most religions shock. "However, the identification of nanotechnology to the type of speakers transhumanist human enhancement is a mistake," said Bruce. A second common concern is the fear that nanotechnology can take control of individual life, creating effects on the environment, without the consent of the people, or providing tools for a better life for the rich. "These concerns echo the general concerns of the faithful towards technology in general," says Toumey. "Some of them can even be shared by non-religious people, but studies show that believers are louder in their discussion. " The language of God, the soul, the spirit and eternal life offers a range of metaphors, symbols, stories and figures of speech that are useful for navigating the ethical issues raised by the technology, according to studies .


According Toumey, experts do not make their opinions based on their values ??- well established and polarized positions on technology, providing concepts such as privacy, autonomy, justice -. And not on objective criteria

In an unstable political environment against the tactics of the police rise of aggression. As a football fan, I have seen first hand

leaders in Turkey do not expect the protests that engulfed the Turkish cities since last week. But maybe they should have done. Many column inches have been spent in recent days in the taxation of conservative cultural values ??and the lack of consultation on new laws. Less attention has been paid to how the heavy hand soccer police and other large public events matches sowed the seeds of resistance were orchestrated.

In Britain, football fans in Turkey are perhaps best known for his aggressive intimidation of rival supporters. "Welcome to hell!" banners frequently fans greet visitors arriving in Istanbul. However, the clubs big fans of the big teams in Turkey are also involved in many aspects of social life, supporting charities, coordination and policy statements in recent days, the swelling street protests.

Usually Istanbul is famous for the fierce tribal rivalry among their top three clubs: Be?ikta?, Fenerbah?e and Galatasaray. All three are great, but Fenerbah?e and Galatasaray claim most fans, titles and wealth. Be?ikta? are considered the

Halkin tak?m?

, "the team of the people" with the working class and the fans traditionally left, and segments of his supporters in the past have been more openly critical of the current ruling AKP party.

However, recent events have seen a remarkable solidarity among fans. Traditional enmities were put aside to fight the common enemy of the police. The opposing fans were arm in arm glimpsed in scenes that would have been unthinkable only a week ago.

distance from the central Taksim Square, most of the clashes between police and demonstrators took place in the Besiktas district, home to a group called Carsi, the group of fans club Besiktas football. There are less than a month, his followers fought against the police in the same area, where hard police tactics led to large-scale violence before the last league match of the season at home. Regular use of water cannons and tear gas have ensured that those who disagree with the government and its policies have continued to fuel his anger, and abundant practice in the mechanics of street protest.


not only to deal with football fans that the police have shown a heavy hand. Moreover, anti-government protests on college campuses were violently dispersed. On May 1, there were dozens of political protesters hospitalized after attending the March annual May Day in Taksim were arrested by force with tear gas and water cannons.
