The Age of Maturity
Coming of age - maturity is now at 24. What are the implications for society in everything from marriage to voting? Plus a Kinship Care appeal.
Reaching adulthood - the scientists who say it's getting later and later - what implications does that have for society in everything from marriage to voting in an election?
Are people more moral when they don't have religion? For example, the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden have some of the lowest crime rates in the world - they are also among the most charitable nations in terms of donations as a percentage of GDP. Ironically, these same countries have high numbers of non believers and atheists. So could an argument be made that people are more moral without religion?
Includes an appeal on behalf of Kinship Care.
