Numbers of the Year 2015: Part Three
More Or Less hears why Americans should take more time off, a black Saudi woman tells 成人快手 Trending how she deals with racist abuse online and the Why Factor looks at hypocrisy.
In More Or Less, Tim Harford hears that a failure to take time off is preventing some Americans from being creative. And he looks back over some of the numbers that made the news in 2015 with author and broadcaster Farai Chideya, former footballer Graeme le Saux, and 成人快手 cricket statistician Andrew Samson.
成人快手 Trending talks to Nawal Al-Hawsawi, a black Saudi woman who鈥檚 received racist abuse online for tweeting about her support for inter-racial relationships. She鈥檚 been called the 鈥淩osa Parks鈥 of Saudi Arabia for her campaigning against racism. And the makers of a viral video criticising Facebook鈥檚 plans to bring 鈥榝ree internet鈥 to those without access in rural India explain their objections.
And in the Why Factor, Mike Williams asks how far hypocrisy is part of the human condition. No-one likes a hypocrite, yet most of us are hypocritical to some degree. So why do we profess one thing but do another? And what would a world be like without it?
