Diversity and interculturalism in government communication

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:15:07 GMT

Multilingualism plays a crucial role in intercultural communication and understanding, as it allows individuals to bridge cultural divides by using multiple languages in their everyday lives. Developing effective language strategies is important for governments to promote successful intercultural communication, writes Ipek Tekdemir (pictured, below), a political analyst and strategic communication advisor, working in the European Parliament.The impact of globalization, digitalization, and mass media will only further increase the importance of multilingualism in the future. However, there is ongoing debate about how much individuals can protect their own language and culture against dominant societies that are economically and politically stronger.Multilingualism, identity, and culture are closely linked, and an individual's use of a second language may cause their own culture to be assimilated. As such, it is important to maintain and celebrate one's own culture, while also embraci...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:15:07 GMT

By Jordan Valinsky | CNNElon Musk has officially been dethroned from from the top of Forbes’ annual “World’s Billionaire’s List.”The Tesla and Twitter chief is now the second-richest billionaire, worth an estimated $180 billion, which is $39 billion less than the previous year. The top spot has been awarded to Bernard Arnault, the chairman of French luxury goods giant LVMH. His net worth increased more than $50 billion in the past year to $211 billion.This shouldn’t come as a surprise to Musk, whose position wobbled on the Forbes’ “Real-Time Billionaire’s” list, which is updated daily, for the past several months. He and Arnault often switch places.However, Tuesday’s list tracks his wealth annually. Forbes explained that his wealth had fallen because his $44 billion Twitter purchase funded by Tesla shares scared investors and sent Tesla stock sinking sharply last year. Tesla gained much of those losses back this year ...

BASEBALLNo. 18 Palo Alto 4, Sacred Heart Prep 1 (8 innings)A little over a week after the Vikings played a 19-inning marathon against Sequoia, Palo Alto was once again deadlocked in a low-scoring extra-innings duel. This time, it took just one inning of extra baseball to decide the game. Palo Alto (6-6) got back to .500  by taking advantage of a big eighth inning to pull away from host Sacred Heart Prep (10-3-1). Palo Alto sophomore Henry Harding threw the entire eight innings and allowed only three hits. Vikings coach Pete Fukuhara had complete faith in his pitcher’s ability to go the distance.“Henry was lights out and wanted the ball,” Fukuhara said. “He stepped up huge for us today.”Charlie Bates scored on a Sal Meehan popup when a two-out error by the Gators helped give Palo Alto the lead. Isaiah Walker stretched the advantage to three runs when his ground ball into center scored two teammates a couple of batters later. Paly senior Mostofizadeh hit ...

California’s ‘Right to Repair Act’ could let us fix our broken stuff

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:15:07 GMT

My “unfixable electronics” bin weighs almost as much as I do.There’s the ancient iPad, where the kids made “Talking Tom” tell potty jokes, dropped one too many times. And ah, my beloved Microsoft Surface, where I could scribble notes with an electronic pen — it died immediately after I bought it that beautiful black-and-white leather case. And, um, there’s the Surface before it, with the spider-web shattered screen…. It was perched on the dining room table — cord taut to the wall — when the dogs gave chase. “Computer shotput” is how I remember it. And the phones … all those phones!I’ve saved these seemingly useless electronics because, even though their makers said they couldn’t be fixed, it seemed clear that their makers simply wouldn’t fix them.“When something breaks, you fix it. That’s just common sense. But manufacturers of everything from phones to appliances to tractors intentionally make things difficult to repair,” says a new study by the California Public Interest Research ...
