What to read/watch over the weekend?
1. Oh, that Columbian chocolate I have never tried. Who had known that a chocolate can become a subject of war and peace. This story talks about the conglomerate of villages in Columbia that strives to keep their chocolate growing farm alive amid ongoing conflict.

2. Is a job burden or a remedy? Well, I think a mixture of both. I think we are all familiar with flamboyant, often unrealistic messages thrown at the faces of masses, “Turn your hobby into a job and you won’t have to work a single day in your life.” Unfortunately, not everyone gets to have this chance. So, should we dismiss those? New Yorker debunked the problems with the way Americans work today that can be relevant to many people out there.

3. If you are in a state of conflict – with somebody or within yourself – take your time reading this amazing guide by Solutions Journalism Network. This one is an essential if you want to understand the other side, but don’t know how. Journalists can take notes from this one too.

4. [In Russian] Знаете, когда встречаешь человека, чьё имя может говорить о его принадлежности к той или иной религии, то ты невольно спешишь делать поспешные выводы. К примеру, я знаком с одним из героев фильма Alter Ego о религии Бахаизма. Так как имя у него узбекское, я всегда думал, что он – мусульманин. Оказалось я был неправ. Впредь, буду спрашивать людей об их вероисповедании (если возникнет такая необходимость), и несомненно, не буду делать поспешных выводов. Если вы еще не посмотрели фильм, то я очень советую. Расширяет кругозор.
