Beyond Status and Class: Will There Be an Individualized Class Society?

Language being a potent vehicle of transmitting cultural values, norms and beliefs remains a central factor in determining the status of any nation. India is a multilingual country which tends to encourage people to use English at national and international level. Basically English in India owes its presence to the British but its subsequent rise is not fully attributable to the British. It has now become the language of wider communication which is now spoken by large number of people all over the world. It is influenced by many factors such as class, society, developments in science and technology etc. However the major influence on English language is and has been the media.

Neonatal Circumcision

To the Editor.— In 1975, an Ad Hoc Task Force on Circumcision of the American Academy of Pediatrics reported that "there is no absolute medical indication for routine circumcision of the newborn."1 In 1983, both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology jointly published Guidelines to Perinatal Care in which routine neonatal circumcision was discouraged.2 Since 1983, many public tax-supported hospitals simply stopped performing neonatal circumcision. Circumcision is no longer an option at many major public hospitals.

The Church

There is a lust for being a victim. This makes it easy to forget many actual victims. And there is a class society of victims. As a result, many victims are insufficiently appreciated, for example the victims of climate change. Based on a critique of contemporary victim discourses, the book explores new perspectives of solidarity in our society. It asks, for example, how the solidarity work of the church, civic councils and civil society is doing, and looks for ways to anchor solidarity in society beyond class boundaries.
