How to have a good marriage

 Do you feel that happiness has faded in your marriage?  If you can’t imagine how you got to this point and wonder how to have a good marriage, here are a few tips to help you get through.

First of all, in order to live a happy married life, it is essential to accept your spouse the way they are. If you’re feeling angry or upset because of the way they deal with different matters in life, you need to sit down and take a few deep breaths to calm yourself down. It’s not always easy to see past minor annoyances, and at times you may even hate your partner. But to have a happy marriage you have to accept your partner’s strengths and weaknesses and be able to set realistic expectations. For example, if your strength is your good memory, don’t get angry if they forget special dates. Instead, make it your job to set reminders in different ways. If their strength is cooking, they can manage meal planning instead. That’s how I manage to deal with my husband forgetting our anniversary.

Second, it’s important to share common interests and have fun together so that you can strengthen the bond and evolve together. Whether it’s a love of travel, a strong desire to build a family together, a dedication to a common cause, or even just watching your favourite TV series together, these experiences can help you to connect with your spouse and enrich your relationship. Personally, I’ve found that volunteering at the church on Sunday mornings has helped us to increase our bond by creating a sense of connection.

Last but not least, you need to be kind, respectful and understanding of your spouse. If you are critical and judgmental it usually ends in defensiveness and resentment. So to keep things happy within the marriage, avoid swearing and attacking your partner’s behaviour when you're upset. Even better, before arguing about anything, - for example, who will clean up the dishes after dinner- you might say something like, “what about if I cook and you wash the dishes tonight? How does that sound?” In doing so, you'll show a team-work attitude and appreciation for their co-operation.

With these ideas in mind, you can help avoid marital discord, and you might even get closer than ever. After all, this is supposed to be your soulmate, right?

How to be a good leader?


When you think about a leader you think in a special Pearson? Like someone extraordinary? If the answer is yes… what made them special? Exists a secret to become a leader? This is considered outside the boundaries of mortality?

The truth is the majority of big leaders they taught to be, with support, right principles and motivation anyone can become a great leader. Many great leaders started a young age to learn how to lead.

All leaders are managers in some way, but not all managers are leaders. Become a great leader is to understand that leadership is more than a position and making smart decisions to be someone worth following, and the key of all involves an exceptional emotional intelligence.

Being a leader is a huge responsibility, and people will expect that he/she is ready even in a new situation, and that’s the secret, a leader is prepper to affront the challenges no matter the scenery, first a great leader knows how to obtain the trust of their employees, then being behind the pressure and stress that all involves, like the managing difficult people for example.

But what we need to be a great leader? wellexist many styles of leadershipbut some characteristics are commonthey use to be a good listenerthey know that listening is the key to great communicationleaders are constant learnersthey always hope to learn from other people’s experiences and they know how to prioritize the important things so that’s keeping focused

So, a great leader doesn’t have to be extraordinary, you just have to build a solid culture where one is able to help the team grow and fulfill its true potential not because they have to, but because they want to because they’re committed to your cause.

How to make decisions

     I´m pretty sure that you always make hard decisions in your life, from deciding what to wear to choosing who you'll marry, each of them has a different level of importance in your life but they always have consequences which will result in good choices and bad decisions. We have some advice which can do to help you make better decisions 

    First of all, don´t fear the consequences, we usually make decisions about our life in which we decide important things like what time to take breakfast, where to live, how much money to spend on our birthday, etc. In each case, we imagine how the outcomes of our choices will make us feel, and what the emotional consequences of our actions will be. We usually follow the option that we think will make us the happiest. This kind of thinking, in theory, is fine but the problem is that we are not good at all. People frequently overestimate the impact of a decision. 

    Second, go with your gut instincts. It is tempting to think that to make good decisions you need time to systematically weigh up all the pros and cons of various alternatives, but sometimes a snap judgment or instinctive choice is just as good.

    Next, consider your emotions. You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision-making, but in fact, they are integral to it. Our most basic emotions evolved to enable us to make rapid and unconscious choices in situations that threaten our survival. Emotions are clearly a crucial component in the neurobiology process of choice, but whether they always allow us to make the right decisions is another matter. If you try to make decisions under the influence of emotion or pressure it can seriously affect the result.

    Finally, limit your options. We frequently think that more choice is better than less. the idea that while we think more choice is best, often less is more. The problem is that greater choice usually comes at a price. It makes greater demands on your information-processing skills, and the process can be confusing.  With these ideas in mind, you can deal better with making decisions and probably you´ll make better decisions after these. Don´t be afraid, go with your gut instincts, consider your emotions and limit your options. These are the processes that help you to make better decisions.

MANIPULATION OF IMAGES IN ADVERTISING, IS IT JUSTIFIED?

 


In order to make a message stronger, there is no right or wrong answer unto whether the manipulation of media photos is actually something that should carry on happening . Some people think it is wrong to change the way people look, nevertheless others believe that the changing and manipulation of media photos is all part of the media process and they acept it.

First of all, these changes are motivating references within the parameters as long as individual values are included to improve, for example, the quality of life. Indeed, through them it spreads physical characteristics, lifestyles, ways that can somehow promote to those who observe them. Moreover, this action can be beneficial if it is used with the intention of promoting individual values in society. Even when it is unrealistic, people are more likely to compare themselves to these images due to the excessive exposure we have to them.

Although it could also affect the person making them feel worse by not being able to get the image they observe.  Furthermore, we live in a current society that consists of a high percentage of people living with high body dissatisfaction and the manipulation of images in media could potentially increase this percentage.

I am convinced that at young age, teenagers, for example, are very impressionable and can become frustrated with the "ideals to achieve" that they often see in these types of images. It seems to me that this type of technological actions must be regulated, otherwise, they will continue to contribute to the disorientation of individuals, especially those who are still forming their personality.

Can idealised images of models in media have a positive effect on ordinary people?

 Social media has become very popular over the last few years. On one hand, it has helped people to communicate and keep in touch with friends and loved ones. However, it also has brought a lot of idealised images of models that every day are posted and shared for everyone to see. Regarding the late, it is argued whether these images can help people somehow or, on the contrary, have a negative effect on them. This brief essay will present what research suggests.

 Since the number of “likes” is considered a measure of success, many celebrities work very hard to post images of them looking happy, healthy and in good shape. It is difficult to say if this is really the case, but it certainly attracts millions of people who enjoy thinking that it is possible to be just like them. Especially female undergraduate students, as some research suggests. They reported to have felt encouraged to take care of their bodies by exercising, eating healthy food and motivated to wearing fancy clothes.

 However, recent research also showed that young women were in the worst mood and feeling unhappier with their appearance after they made social media comparisons. They even started thinking about doing unhealthy weight-loss activities. These findings are consistent with other research suggesting that envy, depression and body dissatisfaction are related to social media appearance comparisons. Although these studies only tested young women, research suggests there may be similar patterns for men and people of different ages. 

In my opinion, it depends on the mental health and maturity of each person on how they take the idealised images that are posted on social media. If someone feels that their self esteem is affected by those images, it may be a good idea to unfollow the celebrity or friend who makes them feel unhappy.


The Top models in social media have a positive effect on teenage?

According to different sites on internet, the social media are interactive technologies that based on create and sharing of information and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks. In our days are more common the uses a lot of teenagers are present in the media, but like all in live this have a positive or negative effect and the results are particularly significant.

Many platforms could be lifesavers for teens who feel isolated or marginalized, particularly LGBTQ teens or who have problems at home. The impact of social media is closely linked to depression too. But whats are the impact that top models have in the young people?

It depends, but the experts affirm that social media influencers offer parents golden opportunities for teachable moments, and she suggests parents do research on the personalities their children are following and watch content together.

Concerns about the positive or negative impacts of social media influencers are nothing new. Parents in the 1950s fretted over this new kind of music called rock and roll, like now the parents do with internet models. It is many social media influencers with positive messages about health life, body positivism or social activism, also for the teens the know of these persons can help to socialize with others. 

Conversely many mental and nutrition disorder are linked to achieving life and image that usually show almost impossible to achieve. Bringing dissatisfied people and the worst the loss of life that this entails for not meeting expectations.

The cons are extremely serious but not so common. And the good things are more besides that for me it all depends on how you want to use it in your life as an inspiration or an obsession.

Images of models in Media is a positive effect on ordinary people.... or not?

Negative things:

Usually, women use to compare their own appearance to famous people and think they’re less attractive than the images they see when they look at these attractive images on social media. Although these comparisons can make women unhappy with their appearance and put them in a bad mood. Given body dissatisfaction is an important predictor for eating disorders, we need to know if some types of comparisons are worse for people’s body image than others.

And the effects might be different depending on the social media platform, as some are more image-based than others. Those that rely on images, like Instagram and Snapchat, provide people with more opportunities to make appearance comparisons and may be more harmful to women’s body image and mood.


 Positive things:

Social media can positively impact body image in several ways. Health and wellness, fitness, and plant-based food accounts can all be inspirational models for some users. Through these frameworks, social media users can maintain a healthy and positive outlook on their body image. Recently, the organization Eating Disorder Hope detailed how social media can potentially benefit the way women feel about their body image. Further, social media can help some users navigate the heavily stigmatized topic of body image with different support groups available across different platforms.


To summarize the effects can be different (positive or negative) depending on the person, for example in my case I don't usually compare my body with famous people because I think that my body is normal, Nevertheless, I have a friend who always compares to models and she hates her body because is not skinny so I think that if you're a person who loves your body you'll never be affected in this situation.
