The West, the Arab world and shame/guilt culture
How do the West and the Arab world interact with the ideas of shame and guilt cultures. More broadly, are these terms still relevant? and what is their relationship to "reason" or "the rational"?

When a Red Indian is not a Red Indian and other un-PC terminology.
What are the acceptable terms for referring to 'Red Indians' when I mean native Americans from the 1800's who wore feathers in their hair? Why, if I can say 'black' and 'white' without offending anyone, can I not say Red Indian?

"Having an ego", "self-centredness", "self-importance", and other wonderful gifts...
The development of the word 'ego' over time. Are words like 'egocentric' and 'self-centred' used by society to cut us off from our true selves? Is viewing things subjectively instead of in society's terms 'a deadly sin'?
