A healthy or unhealthy lifestyle

Image
Health🙉🙊🙈 A healthy or unhealthy lifestyle will most likely be transmitted across generations. According to the study done by Case et al. (2002), when a 0-3-year-old child has a mother who practices a healthy lifestyle, this child will be 27% more likely to become healthy and adopt the same lifestyle. For instance, high income parents are more likely to eat more fruit and vegetables, have time to exercise, and provide the best living condition to their children. On the other hand, low-income parents are more likely to participate in unhealthy activities such as smoking to help them release poverty-related stress and depression. Parents are the first teacher for every child. Everything that parents do will be very likely transferred to their children through the learning process. Adults may be drawn together by mutual interest that results in a lifestyle. For example, William Dufty described how pursuing a sugar-free diet led to such associations:       ...

Lifestyles and social position

Image
Three main phases can be identified in the   history of lifestyles studies: Lifestyles and social position Earlier studies on lifestyles focus on the analysis of social structure and of the individuals' relative positions inside it. Thorstein Veblen, with his 'emulation' concept, opens this perspective by asserting that people adopt specific 'schemes of life', and in particular specific patterns of 'conspicuous consumption', depending on a desire for distinction from social strata they identify as inferior and a desire for emulation of the ones identified as superior. Max Weber intends lifestyles as distinctive elements of status groups strictly connected with a dialectic of recognition of prestige: the lifestyle is the most visible manifestation of social differentiation, even within the same social class, and in particular it shows the prestige which the individuals believe they enjoy or to which they aspire. Georg Simmel carries out formal analysi...

DAY OR NIGHT: WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO STUDY?

DAY OR NIGHT: WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO STUDY? Every student (and parent) knows it can sometimes be hard to sit down to tackle schoolwork, whether it’s completing a homework assignment or studying for the next big test—especially when the weekend rolls around. Completing homework and staying on top of upcoming assignments is just as important on the weekend as it is during the week. It’s never a fun experience for anyone when it’s Sunday night and school assignments still haven’t been completed! Sticking to a study schedule can keep your child on track and avoid homework meltdowns.  But when planning this schedule, many parents wonder “when is the best time to study for my child?” HOW TIME OF DAY AFFECTS STUDENTS’ BRAINS Students’ brains tend to be sharpest in the morning, after a refreshing night’s sleep and a nutritious breakfast. This makes it a good time to open a textbook to learn something new, or review notes from the previous day. With a more alert brain, st...

Reading for memorizing

Image
 1.Reading for memorizing :   If you want to memorize something for exam or presentation etc, read the content just before the sleep and read the same immediately after you wake up ( before any morning stuff, just open your eyes , wake up and read the same  content again and then proceed with your day ) 2.Reading for understanding the difficult content:     read the content before your goodnight sleep. Your brain we do remaining homework. 3. Reading from the religious books: If  you are reading religious content , I assume that you believe in that , and other reading manners ( like having bath etc), do read it after your bath, with fresh mind. Because if there is no specific purpose behind reading it , it  is difficult to concentrate on that after whole hectic day. 4. Reading the novels :   read it whenever you feel like reading, when you have specific time available, because if you read it randomly at any time, your brain...

ENIAC, World's First Computer, 1946 In 1946 the first computer was announced. It was called ENIAC, which stood for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer. ENIAC took up a large room and required several people to operate. She operated with vacuum tubes and could output 5,000 addition problems in one second.The computer used 170,000 watts of power, weighed 28 tons, had 17,840 vacuum tubes, filled a large building and cost $487,000. (By today's standards, that is about ten million dollars!) It took several people to run her. It was basically a larger super fast calculator with some input features via punch cards. You think you have computer problems today? With 17,480 tubes, ENIAC required constant maintain as there was always a tube going out. On average, one would go out about about every other day. It took about fifteen minutes to locate the bad tube. It's longest continuous period of operation without a failure was 116 hours. Aside from the 1...
