It seems views on having children are changing in the USA. New research shows that 25 per cent of adults do not want to have children. A study from Michigan State University (MSU) reveals that a quarter of American adults are happy to be “child-free”. It says these people do not want children and are happier without them. MSU psychologists Jennifer Watling Neal and Zachary Neal did research on why people who do not want children might be different. They wanted to find out what the differences were between these child-free people and “non-parents”. They said non-parents include “not-yet-parents” (those planning to have kids) and people who cannot have kids due to medical problems.
Many of us thought the world had four oceans – the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. That’s what we were taught in school. However, a search on the Internet will show that there is also a “Southern Ocean” around the South Pole and Antarctica. The National Geographic Society has now officially accepted that this body of water around Antarctica is a real ocean. Geography teachers will now have to teach their students that the world has five oceans. Alex Tait, a geographer and cartographer at National Geographic, said: “We think it’s really important from an educational [viewpoint], as well as from a map-labelling standpoint, to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean.”
