In France, as in the United States, an ideological divide is widening between girls and boys: "Young women born between 1995 and 2010 are hyper-progressive, while men of the same age are hyper-conservative," according to Alice Evans, a researcher at Stanford University. "Tens of millions of people who live in the same cities, work in the same places, attend the same classrooms, and even live in the same houses no longer share the same views. This is unprecedented. Generation Z is actually two generations, not one."

The history of the Ariane rocket is a space epic that has seen Europeans unite and innovate to make a place for themselves in the space race.

This undeniable European success is now at a turning point in its history. The new Ariane 6 program is currently being developed to meet the challenges of tomorrow: will it be able to meet the challenges of a more competitive environment than ever before?

What is the origin of homosexuality? Are we born gay or do we become gay? Why does the very fact of asking the question provoke so much debate? Ted Anspach investigated in Europe and the United States. On December 7, 2004, Christian Vanneste, a UMP deputy, caused a scandal in the National Assembly by making homophobic remarks. Despite his recent condemnation, he reiterates here: "Homosexuality is a threat (...) Parents should be offered treatment when homosexual tendencies are detected in their child." To these unacceptable remarks this film opposes the very personal testimonies of homosexuals. There is Skander, a Frenchman of North African origin, who explains how he felt gay from a very young age, despite family pressure. And also Monique and Isabelle, a lesbian couple who "revealed themselves" after many years of heterosexual life.The investigation continues in the United States, where the debate on the origin of homosexuality is raging.
