There is such a thing as information overload. There is just so much information out there now that we can't (Answer: cope) with it or fully
absorb it, or even decide which bits of it we want to keep in our minds, or which to discard. There is a similar thing going on with the range of
choices we have as consumers. There is so much stuff out there, so much to choose from, that, according to some experts, this situation is
making us miserable . Most of us believe that the more we have to choose from the better, yet, our dissatisfaction with this wealth of choice,
or rather the anxiety it produces, is part of a larger tract. It seems that, as society grows more affluent and people become freer to do what
they want, the unhappier they become.

Privacy and the right to privacy are increasingly becoming hot topics in the media, which is a touch ironic, given that it is often the media that
is responsible for the invasion of privacy. This is not just about those whose careers put them in the public eye, but ordinary people who
through no fault of their own have come to public notice because of some event that has attracted the attention of the media. It might be that
a member of their family has been imprisoned for some crime, rightfully or wrongfully, or perhaps they are the victims of some natural
disaster. Some people argue that those who have chosen to be in the public sphere and have teams of public relations people to make sure
they get as much public attention as possible - actors, rock stars, politicians, and the like - have given up their right to privacy and get
everything they deserve.

Social capital is a concept that was introduced by sociologists, many years ago. It’s actually the networks and forecasts that people use to
deliver social outcomes. For instance, it might be holding a sporting event, running a community picnic , being part of a club. It is difficult to
measure social capital and one way of looking at it is the amount that people volunteer in their local community. So you can consider the
volunteering rate as an index for how healthy a community is. You can also look at something called a well·being index – the way people think
about their lives and how accepting they are of others, their general perception of the value of their life.
