The Social Evolutionary

Who is the King of the Jungle?

This festival takes place every August in  Spain. People come from all over the world to participate in this huge social occasion, which includes music, dancing and fireworks'. The main event is a tomato fight in which enormous quantities of overripe tomatoes arc thrown in the streets for exactly one hour. The festival was banned in the 1950s, bur in 1957 the young folk of the town protested by organizing a parade in which they buried a large tomato as if it were a dead body. The festival started again the following year.

Choosing a book

As I work for a publisher, I'm always using reference books such as dictionaries. But I read a lot for pleasure too, and I particularly like poetry. At home all my books are arranged in alphabetical order (I know that's a bit strange!). I've also got lots of novels from different categories - crime stories, ghost stories, historical novels, murder mysteries, science fiction, etc. - but there is non-fiction as well. I read quite a lot of biographies. My husband says I'm book-crazy.

Meet Cyrus Davis, who has spent all his working life in journalism. He's been a news reporter, sports reporter, and headline writer. Now, he works for The Evening Star, a local daily paper published in Birmingham, and he is the editor of the paper's online version. "The Star covers current affair, sport, crime, and so on, and there is always at least one item about a cultural subject. But the sad truth is that newspaper sales are falling fast, and newspapers could disappear forever if the industry cannot make money from online sales."

According to a national report, the youth market, and particularly young people aged 16-24 years old, are watching far less TV on traditional sets than they were in 2010. Those still watching on TV sets are typically over 65. This is because there has been a shift to digital viewing (e.g. on You Tube), together with the rise of online services such as Netflix and Amazon.
The report indicates a growing difference in the lifestyle habits of younger and older viewers. On top of that, younger viewers are also more critical of the standard of traditional TV. They complained about the number of repeats and the lack of variety.
