Monica Camposeo Dangerous rhetoric around the Gare district
How safe or unsafe is the Gare district? People certainly have different opinions on that question. Three young men from a youth party, which calls itself "future-oriented", sketched their own picture of the district on camera - in a way that raises real questions, writes Monica Camposeo.

Ian Pocervina Separating art from artist, an ongoing debate
While it is regularly debated what to do with music of artists who have been convicted of a crime, it is equally challenging to deal with the question of what to do when they simply hold reprehensible world views.

Alannah Meyrath Dating trials and tribulations: discussing mental health

Tom Weber Social Media: An honest review
Recent events on twitter have led many to once again question the usefulness of social media as a concept. Is it all doomed? Would we all be better off to just unplug and return to sending distant relatives one post card a year? As is so often the case, the answer is probably a bit more nuanced than that.

Ian Pocervina 'I cannot means I don't want to'
One of the phrases that I used to hate hearing as a child was "ech kann net heescht ech well net", which roughly translates to "I cannot means I don't want to". Today, I recognise that it is actually a versatile sentence that is still being used in a variety of interesting ways.

Monica Camposeo "Free" sounds good, but being able to afford things sounds better
Free school books, childcare, school meals, public transport; grants for bicycles, electric vehicles and charger points at home. In Xavier Bettel's recent State of the Nation speech, the Prime Minister announced the government's intentions to cover the cost of solar panel installation for all new builds. Politics are - even in times of crisis - giving things away. How sensible is this method of action, asks RTL's Monica Camposeo.

Carolina Reinertz Dark humour: The medicine this world needs. No joke.
What is dark humour? It's a type of humour that involves making fun of topics that are usually seen as "taboo". But more than that, it is a way of saying something intrinsically thought-provoking about a subject that might usually be difficult to talk about.

Natalia Dembowska My peaceful (topless) rebellion
Let’s face it people - life is hard. Just taking care of yourself is quite a challenging task, let alone staying on top of your daily tasks revolving around work, family, home and friends. Just going through the day can be tough and often times we go to sleep analysing what we haven’t done yet and what we need to do the next day.
