How can we provide aid to those most in need and how can this situation be eradicated so that no one has to face harsh winters in inhumane conditions?

Ageing: is it treatable

From anti-wrinkle creams to botox and cosmetic surgeries - are these the modern means to slow down ageing? Is today's generation obsessed with eternal youth?

Topic discuss: University: Does entrance need to get tougher/ Racial Discrimination


Presenter:

Zakaria Sheikh
Safeer Khan 


Does entrance need to get tougher

The government is set to consult on whether to toughen up university entrance requirements in an effort to push graduates into better paid jobs. With only 25%
paying back their student loan in full is this a way to reduce the burden on tax payers or is this unfair on young people?

Racial Discrimination

Recent events have starkly reflected the selective empathy society feels for those suffering and it is heavily influenced by the colour of the victim’s skin. Why is racial discrimination still such a problem and how can we eliminate it from all walks of life

Episode 131 - The Commodification of Faith. Has the emergence of a generation of Muslims living in the West who are more materially advantaged than the generations before them led to the global commodification of Islam? Muslim integration and representation in the Western world is emphasised. However, we could argue that this contemporary society of ours holds different values to traditional Muslim ones, so, at what cost has this been? Major International brands are competing with one another for a slice of the multi-billion pound “Halal Market”, commodifying everything “Muslim” from finance, to clothing, to holidays, and even cosmetics. Is Islam the only religion to have fallen victim to this branding of faith?
