Topic of the Issue
Century after the birth of Eric Berne, founder of transactional analysis
I'm
still OK, you're still OK
The pursuer, rescuer and the victim, Ego State, Parent-Adult-Child, life script
and racketeering, to name a few, are terms many people regularly use not knowing
they stem from transactional analysis. Today, the whole century after the birth
of this influential psychological theory founder, the interest in its concepts
is still growing, since people are still eager to become emotionally literate
and live better lives understanding themselves and those around them. This user-friendly
approach enables this to those who are ready to look inside their souls... >>
Interview: Zoran Milivojević, transactional analyst
Transactional
Analysis - good for everyone
In
a capitalist society an individual unfortunately must take care of many things
in life himself, including the way he feels. However, people more and more come
to realize the importance of emotional and social intelligence in their social
lives and in the future, they will realize that they must be emotionally literate
Understanding human behavior
Games
people play
Transactional
analysis is a rational approach to understanding behavior which is based on the
assumption that everyone can learn to respect themselves, think for themselves,
make their own decisions, and express emotions. Its principle can be applied at
the worksite, at home, in classroom, neighborhood - anywhere we can meet people

Blood diamonds in international
markets
Kimberley
Process at stake
Blood diamonds continue to be mined and sold from Marange (Zimbabwe)
- which contains the largest known concentration of diamonds in the world - and
find their way into jewellery stores worldwide. Everything indicates that the
beneficiaries of this diamond wealth are largely members of the military and officials
in president Robert Mugabe's inner circle. Even so, Kimberley Process members
insist on not suspending Zimbabwe or banning the sale of its stones... >>
Turmoil in Thailand
Call
for democracy
After
more than a month of violent reprisals, there is hope for the closing of this
horrid conflict, as the government finally raised the curfew and Bankgok returned
to precarious peace. Prime Minister seems to agree with the idea of potential
November elections, for the purpose of ending the conflict... >>

Interview: Luc Ferry, philosopher
and former French Education Minister
Herald
of the new revolution
Mastermind behind the epoch-making ban of religious symbols at public schools
in France and main responsible for throwing this big issue into the ring of Europe,
Mr. Ferry is one of the principal adherents of Secular Humanism. Minister of Education
from 2002 to 2004 on the cabinet led by the right-wing Prime-Minister Jean-Pierre
Raffarin, he is frequently labeled as conservative, polemical and racist. However,
when his words are carefully listened, it is easy to perceive he is nothing but
a wholeheartedly enthusiast of fair reason... >>

World economic crisis and the
Spanish speaking countries
Turbulent
history, uncertain future
Given
the tempestous history of Spanish speaking countries when it comes to economic

interested parties - the creators of economic policy, domestic and foreign investors,
international institutions - i.e. the whole economic public in general... >>

Interview: Iva Štrljić,
actress
I
would love the summer to make me happy
I was born and I still live in the city center. In my attic everything is cozy,
soft and feminine, filled with wood and memories. I love the place where I live
to look like me and that there's always something inspirational about it. City
is more about people than specific places. I love hearing trolley, I love all
that smog, block pavement, that's what's inspiring me... >>
Interview: Dubravka Mijatović, actress
Smell
of the rain on the Balkan
Where we perhaps have displayed most of the Jewish culture is in the family
circle. That unity of the family and the love they shared, were crucial for the
whole performance. Starting from the relationship of mother and father. A mother
who never married for love, but fell in love with her husband, because she built
a life with him. Maybe he was not her first choice, but this is as it is and it
must be so... >>

Sport
Giro d'Italia and Tour de France starting
in the Netherlands
Hell
for professional cyclist - the Dutch roundabouts
Holland is especially famous for its many cyclists. On any given sunny Saturday
parents with yelling kids are crossing the woods, lying down their food in the
field for a picnic, and also are an irritation for the racing bikers while they
wanna hurry. The Netherlands is a cycling country. To prove that cycling is a
Dutch characteristic, the Giro d'Italia has been started in Amsterdam in May,
and Rotterdam is preparing the start of the Tour de France next month... >>
Entertainment
The Cannes Film Festival 2010
Palm d'Or for
Thailand
Celebrated in cinema for over
60 years, this film festival reunites the passion for movies with the possibility
of discovering new talents, as it happened almost every year. Actors in the winning
pictures are mostly unknown to the public, and, sometimes, rarely known in their
own country as well. This year the festival was held between 12 and 23 May 2010...
