CONTENT FOR ISSUE 231
EDITORIAL: MEN & SOCIETY / Simon Parcher
If you are a man or if there is a man or boy in your life whom you love or care about, you need to read the articles in this issue of HP magazine.Male Victims of Domestic Violence / Justin Trottier and John Robson
We already know that domestic violence can be a life or death issue for women. But it can also be one for men and children.Barriers to Men’s and Boys’ Wellbeing and Better Policies to Achieve Health and Happiness for All / Bijan Rafii
Although historical narratives assumed women to be more deserving of support—and feminism has played an important role in advocating for higher levels of resources for women—there have been other barriers to addressing issues concerning men.What is a man? Exploring the concept of gender / Lloyd Hawkeye Robertson and Trevor John Robertson
Although a person's sex is male or female as a matter of biology, the ways in which femininity and masculinity are expressed may vary culturally.A Strategy For Preventing Male Suicide / Dan Bilsker
Male suicide constitutes an astonishingly high proportion of all suicide deaths in the western world. This is certainly true in Canada where approximately 80% of suicide deaths occur in men.Parental Alienation as a Hate Crime Targeting Father-Child Relationships / Edward Kruk, MSW, PhD.
The degree of malevolence and indifference in those who engage in parental alienation cannot be overstated. It is the destruction of something so fragile and precious, the sacred bond between a loving parent and child.Leave it to Zohan / Monique Montgomery
My mother was born in historic Palestine, and in 1948, when she was a baby, her family had to choose between their beautiful home on one side of Jerusalem and my grandfather’s jewelry business on the other side.On Racism, Religion, Antisemitism and 'The Story' / Sophie Dulesh
To claim that the Israeli existential struggle is “a racial issue” is like suggesting that religious wars that decimated 16th-18th centuries Europe were “a racial issue”.Children are Not Talking Parrots / Dr. Nasser Yousefi
Many families and teachers believe that if students retain a set of hard, basic information and succeed in specific tests, the educational process has been successful.#231: Poetry by Kipling / HP
