The Effect of the Media on Women’s Personal Identity

For many women, the media has a profound effect on how they view their bodies from a personal perspective. From the mass marketing of advertisements that depict thin women, to how behaviors of females should be, there is clearly a trademark being developed by the media on how women should look and feel. This is contributing to an extreme, as well as a versatile image on the characteristics of women today. However, statistics show that the women that are portrayed in these ads and advertisements are not actually vindictive of women in today’s decade. Even though it’s true that there are positive influences as well as negative ones, the fact is, the media is playing a tremendous role in how any female perceives her own personal identity.

What is the difference between cats eye and tigers eye?

Cats eye is a chrysoberyl and is one of the hardest crystals out there. It is an highly sought after gemstone with a hardness of 8.5 on the Mohs scale. On the other hand, tiger’s eye  (or tiger eye) is a member of the quartz family and has a hardness of 7-7.5 on the Mohs scale.

The reason why they are sometimes confused, is because they both exhibit chatoyancy, which is an optical effect of light simmering on their surface, resembling a cat’s or tiger’s eye. The tiger’s eye is one of the most popular gemstones because of its inert and earthy nature and appearance.

Not to mention, one of the cheapest gemstones and a great gift to buy for a friend. It is said that tiger’s eye brings protection and prosperity to the user, and in metaphysical thought, it is considered a strong grounding stone.

Situational Approach and other Language Teaching Approaches

Language Teaching has been a fluctuating field as it is not as steady a subject as, say, chemistry, physics, etc., where a new theory takes years to make space. Yet, in language teaching, there is so much instability in the writer’s eyes due to the fact that many teachers don’t know the history of changes in teaching approaches and methods. She tries to create awareness by shedding light on this matter so that the teacher should not pride by merely innovating a method or technique that has already been practiced. In addition to the above-noted five approaches, four more approaches were in considerable practice. Now the writer categorizes all these approaches as follows: Grammar Translation Approach, Direct Method Approach, Reading Approach, Audio-lingual Approach, Oral or Situational Approach…

Altered states, and how to get there

In the movie “Altered States” (starring William Hurt in his film debut as a psycho-physiologist who explores altered consciousness), you are taken through a physical and hallucinatory journey through the history of human evolution. What a plot! It’s based on the immersion-tank experiments of Dr. John Lilly in the 1970s.

The movie is fascinating! And I’m still fascinated with the subject of altered states.

A person can reach an altered state of consciousness accidentally through, for example, fever, sleep deprivation, starvation, oxygen deprivation, etc.

Altered states can also be induced through the use of sensory deprivation, an isolation tank or hypnosis, meditation or similar practices. Additionally, they can be reached by using psychoactive drugs such as alcohol and opiates, or psychoactive plants and chemicals such as LSD, peyote, marijuana, mescaline, psychedelic mushrooms and a variety of other substances.

There’s lots more information about altered states here: Altered States.

Psychology information

You have to give it up for the human mind. Our brains are without a doubt the most complex and intriguing machines known to man. The fact that we only use a small portion of them makes them that much more mysterious. Imagine if we could use the whole thing. The limitations appear endless. Sometimes I wonder if we could speak without verbal articulation. Maybe a certain nexus or telekinetic link would be established between the human race. This would be utterly phenomenal. Unfortunately I don’t see it happening any time soon.
