Generation Gap The lifestyle of youth evolved in the 60s and 70s, and since then, young people have been more independent than ever before in history. The independence of a teenager does not diminish the authority of their elders, but it has made them the bosses of many areas of their lives where before they were expected to have all their choices made for them by adults. The buying power of young people today has increased dramatically compared to when their parents were young. They have created their own target market among businesspeople and investors because of their buying power and increased access to the market place. Access to all of the information available on the internet is a tool that gives young people the power, and helps them to keep up with today’s fast-paced society. The Baby Boomers Generation started this concept of autonomy, and they soon became a role model to teenagers and an inspiration to adults. These baby boomers have passed their independence onto their children. Following their parents’ example, Generation X has made it to the top of the pyramid of consumers. How difficult is communication between the avant-garde teenagers and their parents? Needless to say, you can tell these generations apart just by how they use both spoken and written language. Many teenagers are proud of having cool, modern parents, who are always in tune to the latest topics and trends, but some youngsters associate much better with their peers. For these young people, communication with their parents and those of the older generations has been reduced; they are talking less and less. Newer generations tend to change their minds too fast and get bored easily. Actually, boredom terrifies them and they are constantly seeking to do things that give them pleasure and help them break free. However, the pursuit of pleasure in the newer generation has its own side effects; they refuse to compromise and complete tasks that are not as enjoyable, using the excuse that they have a right to their own decisions and freedom. ; =< on WIZARDBREN on Co) ik what she wants, or they will fight all the time.

A hobby is an interest, an activity, or a pastime pursued with no financial return or professional status. It is something that you do only because you have a passion for it. Things to do while you wait are different than hobbies. You can make a list of things to do while you wait. You can organize your telephone contact list, play a round of flashcards, review something you've learned recently, reply to your texts and email, tty to beat your own latest record on that cell phone game, or reflect on a decision you have to make based on a virtual journal in your mind. These are all things that you can do while you wait. But what do you do in your spare time? Hobbies appear in many forms. Some are more mainstream: origami, painting, vintage games, martial arts, or collecting items such as coins, midget cars or stamps. Others are more unusual: collecting dried leaves, remodeling houses, audiophiling or participating in extreme sports, <> Ze WIZARD _Yes, that i Therapists recommend having hobbies as a way to relieve stress and to be able to enjoy time by yourself. Having a hobby can help you to get to know yourself better and can also help you gain knowledge about something that could be fun to share with others.

Still, people are able to understand each other if they have the motivation and discipline to learn a foreign language. Some are privileged to be raised in places where several languages are spoken, sometimes even inside their own homes. Imagine growing up in a country where everything you see and think is given more than one name. Would itbe confusing? Muttilingualnations use more than one official language. For example, in the Philippines, both English and Filipino are the official languages, and there are nine other major dialects. The bottom line is that any Filipino is able to speak at least three languages. In Switzerland, signs everywhere are written in German, Italian, French, and a fourth local language, Romansch, is spoken by a small percentage of the population. Other countries have vernacular languages, which are not considered the standard language but are used in informal settings. It has been observed that multilingual children tend to associate people, places and events with the languages they speak. In other words, an Indian family that moved to England will speak Hindi at home, their children will speak English at school and they will probably speak a local dialect when visiting their relatives back in India. Multilingual children are able to switch languages in an instant when they are speaking with their parents and then turn to speak with their classmates. This is not the case for multilingual adults who learned a language after their teenage years. The mystery of language acquisition is intriguing to linguists, educators, and scholars all around the world. Countless language schools are available and new ones appear fram time to time. These schools typically are only a result of experiments with theoretical approaches or empirical observations that seem to ease the learning process. There may be times, however, when knowledge of multiple languages still cannot guarantee communication, and so a universal language may be needed. That is why English is the most common spoken second language in the world. 82 <= ‘WIZARDDo you mind switching seats with me? Easing herself into the water she sighed.

It features some of the most random examples of how a natural language, as it is produced by human speakers and not machines, can be unpredictable and tricky. The statement that there are more exceptions to rules than rules in English holds true, Alinguist’s study concluded that learning English proves to be unnaturalto our brain because words that belong in the same semantic group don’t share the same roots, such as the pairs brother - fraternal, year - annual, moon - lunar, and tooth - dentist. This is because English borrowed a wide range of words from French when it was the language of aristocracy. Accents and dialects are facets of the English language that should be analyzed to guarantee effective communication. Accents encompass the variation in word / syllable stress, rhythm and intonation, whereas dialetics represent a regional variation with differences in vocabulary and sometimes even grammatical structures. In England, apart from the Received Pronunciation, which is considered the Standard British accent or BBC English, there is a variety of accents all over the country. When you encounter speakers of ghetto slang, you might wonder if what you're hearing is actually English. Colloquialisms and stang (sometimes they overlap) aren't taught in textbooks, so you must learn them informally, But be careful about using slang because it is an aspect of the language that involves values and formatity, so you should watch the type of language you use in certain situations. Let's look at a few peculiar exceptions of English: The words awesome and awful are antonyms, but are curiously derived from the same root word "awe". ‘The word “set” outnumbers the definitions of the verb “to get”.

Because men and women tend to cope with stress differently, couples. have sought the help of relationship counselors in order to solve the conflicts they encounter during their marriage. When men seem to retreat until they come up with a solution and women mostly want to talk about the problem, specialists prove to be helpful in mediating the discussion over the gap between genders. Despite the practical conclusions one can make, the paradigms that have been observed (e.g. men’s tendency to be more aggressive and women's more contemplative nature), fall more into social patterns Of response than actual gender-based wired brains. Researchers are fairly divided between two possible explanations: social norms being spun into boys’ and girls’ heads by the different treatment given and behavior being genetically predicted by inborn sex differences. It all depends on how parents interact with their sons and daughters. That may cause differences in the adults’ brains, but those differences don't naturally exist in babies’ brains The differences are induced more according to the toys that are given to them than the toys that are preferred by them. 92 =< ‘WIZARDDid the doctor something for your headache?

Competition has been observed in nature as a remarkable factor for survival. It is a natural process promoted by instinctive reactions. However, this is not the case for human beings, which goes to show that we do not live in a jungle. The positive effect of competition in business can increase performance, resulting in faster and better outcomes. In contrast, when it comes to sports, the performance quality is reduced when kids are trying to impress the spectators rather than focus on the activity itself. Moreover, there have been attempts to measure how much kids learn about teamwork while playing competitive sports, and results show that despite Participation in competitive sports, these children in later years are inclined to being selfish and self-centered. Parents might believe they are preparing their kids to be globally competitive and ready to navigate through this demanding world, but the emphasis should be on teaching children to cooperate and work with others, and that winning isn't everything. If children are trained to pursue prestige, fame or recognition, they will miss out on the lesson that sometimes it is more important to have tried to do something than to not have done it atall, Parents must look at praise asa tool, and notas just words of affection.Too much praise could lead a child to take everybody's appreciation for granted and no guts to try again when confronted. Spoiled children tend to be conceited, and it is even harder for them to learn the right measure of competitiveness. Having your child join a club and practice team sports may encourage him or her to be selfishly competitive. Other activities, such as hide and seek or riding bikes, are alternatives to developing cooperation and teamwork. Parents guidance based on good principles and the true spirit of competition and reward will help a child become a good competitor.9 283 They've shown to be very engaged in the cause. ‘The soldier was rewarded for his bravery with the medal of honor.

The concept of time allows men to ponder how life was in distant eras and to make predictions about the future. Sundials, water clocks, hourglasses, watches, calendars, and agendas are all chronometers that have been invented as methods to measure time. After we resign from trying to control time, we can go over the fools of time management. Before you start to manage it, you should be aware of things that prevent you from making good use of it, which are often Called" time robbers’. Time robbers can be unforeseen events that are imposed on us from external sources, for example: long, unnecessary talks on the phone; meetings with unclear objectives; traffic; and waiting in lines. These types of time robbers are unpredictable and often beyond our control. Try as we may, there is not much we can do to plan for or avoid them. When we encounter these external time robbers, we can't do much other than come up with a few organizing or entertaining habits during these times. 106 On the other hand, we can contral the salf- imposed time robbers, which are the small distractions in our daily lives that waste our time, for example: watching TV, surfing the Internet, indecision and unfinished tasks. Here are a few tips to help us better manage our time: keep your materials organized; return things to their right places; set up a time to work on your mail; avoid changing plans last minute; make one decision at a time; do it right the first time; be straightforward when giving directions or answering questions, How valuable is your time? It's priceless because you can't reverse it. Everyone has 24-hours each day. Days are like suitcases; everyone has one the same size, but some can pack more into theirs than others, When we allow time robbers to steal our time, we can become lazy, dissatisfied, bored, and even gain weight. Those that manage their time effectively are the same people that tend to be more successful, more charitable, more fulfilled, and even happier. =< ‘WIZARDo- 285 ot Mera Meme Sm Ucar! 1am conferring all my responsibilities to you because | am retiring.

From making friends to falling in love, nowadays, interpersonal relationships are regularly nourished via the internet. After some myths and prejudices were proved wrong, distance education has become popular all over the world, and has provided access to education for people that have been unable to attend a conventional university due to their schedules and limited time. Now people can attend class and submit homework from the comfort of their homes. Technology has also helped facilitate socializing, For those too shy to speak to others at the work place or at a bar, internet chat rooms help ease the pressure of striking up a conversation. Other forms of social media allow people to conveniently connect and keep in touch daily. However, for some, the convenience of online chatting can cause an addiction to such websites, and can cause some to shy away from in-person social interaction. Thus, they miss out on opportunities to establish more emotionally healthy relationships. It is possibly difficult to break the bad habit of online gaming and chatting due to the feelings of protection and confidence, which are strengthened by the lackof exposure online. To be rejected over the Internet is much less personal than in a face-to-face conversation. The Internet gives us a way to be protected while meeting people and also eliminates the ‘first visual impression’ problem of judging people by what we see tt is very agreeable and less lonely to find someone out there who you relate to and with whom you can expand your mind by sharing ideas and culture. Some very solid long-term friendships are established starting online.

Here comes the role of advertising - to lead us to make purchases for the sake of consumerism. The advertising industry makes massive amounts of money because companies seek to survive in a competitive market. The market is changing daily, and consequently, companies put a big share of their profits into ads in order to Measure up to their competitors, promote their products, ideas or services, and keep them in the public eye, Fliers, banners, brochures, glossy magazines, billboards, and jingles are everywhere: above the facade of your building, on the coffee table of your dentist's waiting room, playing on your car radio, and on your Facebook wall. You are being led to buy things by celebrities that are paid to endorse products whether you are conscious of it or not. You're placed in someone's target audience or mailing list. We're all spectators in this race of creativity, innovation, and effective subliminal messages.

It seems that every Hollywood star endorses in the idea of hiring a nanny to care for their children, while the parents continue to live their exotic lifestyle. Parents with middle class incomes often just sit their kids in front of the television or gaming consoles so they won't have to entertain them themselves. Children used to have a lot of responsibilities around the house, and had to work for certain privileges. Today, kids are given whatever luxuries they want, and have very few chores or responsibilities. Many parents defend their parenting methods saying that they take a more “modern” approach, but is it just lazy parenting?

When the interests of two parties coincided upon the value of certain items, they could be exchanged so that both sides were pleased, This was called making a trade. Long before coins and later banknotes were designed, eggs, vases, oxen, leather, ivory, rice, salt and metals were exchanged when doing business. The word salary was derived from the word salt because that was how Roman soldiers were paid for their work, In modern times, money is an abstract term represented by many forms Of payment such as checks, !OUs, credit and debit cards, and actual cash.

We all know that the weather influences how we feel to a certain extent, but we're not talking about the hazard of getting skin cancer due to exposure to the sun or getting frostbite from cold temperatures. : The question whether there is a condition associated between sunshine and positive thinking, or cloudy days and depression, is an entirely different topic. Let's talk about mood and climate. What weather makes you feel more energized? Are there certain days that make you feel tired and sad? Some people have been diagnosed with a seasonal affective disorder (SAD). It is a mood disorder that repeatedly affects people’s moods during specific seasons of the year. It seems that the weather has a bigger effect on the mood of people diagnosed with SAD than it does on the average person. The average number of people who suffer from depression in Northern European countries is considerably higher than the number of people in tropical countries. This could be one of the reasons why South Americans are known worldwide for their warm hospitality and cheerfulness. The European’s mildness at expressing their emotions could also have something to do with this issue. In conclusion, based on the research showing how weather affects our mood, it wouldn't be an overreaction to move to or from a location based on the weather. It would even be a good idea to keep track of the weather and record how you felt on that day. If you see a pattern of depression on cloudy or rainy days, then you can use that data as a tool. Ifit is going to be cloudy or rainy, then you can do things that help you to be happy, like listening to upbeat music, eating healthier foods, or exercising. Your awareness of the effect the weather has on you will help you to better manage how you feel during rain or sunshine.Exposing yourself to too much sun can cause cancer.

In addition, older people, and especially women, might feel offended when an attempt to unveil how old they are is made. Especially for women in professional and media settings, signs of aging are looked down upon. Don't even try to guess how old they are because those laugh lines and freckles could be disguised under makeup. Some may even turn to plastic surgery in order to avoid the powder-covered look. People not only want to look younger for themselves, but we often give in to the pressures of media, which constantly remind us that we don't want to give away our age. Instead, advertisements tell us we should get rid of our crow’s feet, exfoliate regularly, use moisturizer, get a facial, and always use sunscreen. Both men and women are becoming more vain about skin care and dying their hair. Products that help disguise age have earned a niche in the market with more and more resources and ideas being produced to help battle the race against the biological clock. Awide range of cosmetic products such as foundation, skin cream, hair color, mascara and so on are on the shelves waiting for customers in search of a new product that — will help them look younger. For some, however, signs of age can look charming and be a sign of experience and ‘maturity. Some men and women proudly display their wrinkles and gray hair. Taylor Hicks, "American Idol fifth season winner, had a head full of gray hair. Instead of dying it, his stylists left it natural as a way to show Taylor's individuality. In fact, it is all a matter of perspective. People should be able to feel comfortable if ‘they wear makeup and dye their hair or not, fegardless of the type of compar they work for or setting they are in.
