Rape Culture: The New Social Cancer!!

2020-10-03T12:57:00.001+05:30

Rape culture and Sexism, this is not our culture at all. According to the Oxford dictionary Rape Culture defines as "a society or an environment whose prevailing social attitudes had the effect of normalizing or trivializing sexual assault and abuse".

Only 6% of all reported rapes will end in a prison sentence. When combined with a relatively low amount of reporting, this means that 99% of rapists get away with their crimes.

Now, here are two reasons that might contribute to this.

First, rape is an incredibly more personal crime and that's why it is very difficult to prove. There is a stereotype that a rapist is a stranger holding a gun or knife but in reality they can be a friend or a relative or even a significant other. According to the organization right crisis England and Wales around 90% of rape are committed by someone they has previously trusted or even loved. They actually more likely for the rapist to be someone close to the victim. The attacker often holds a position of power or physically stronger. Consent is a vital concept that is not entirely understood because of this normalization of rape. Scholars call this rape as "acquaintance rape." And so contrary to what most people believe, most rapes don't happen in a dark alley or in a bad part of town but, most rapes happen between friends, between family members, co-workers, boyfriends or girlfriends. Most rapes incidents happen behind closed doors, which makes them incredibly difficult to prove in a court.

The second factor that according to me might contribute to these low conviction rates is the social narratives surrounding rape. Scholar call this the theory of "secondary victimization" in which contends that for many victims, being exposed to victim-blaming attitudes will be a kind to a second rape. Victims are in a space of extreme vulnerability immediately following an attack or rape. Not only their body has been violated, but their autonomy, their humanity, their sense of identity have been violated too. Rape is one of the only crimes in which victim's body is used as a weapon against them and this alone is enough to inflict severe psychological harm. That's why for many victims of rape, secondary victimization will then lead to self-blame, sexual revictimization, promiscuity of low self-esteem.

Views on rape and assault are what makes us feel unsafe and scared. Today, girls who are only just in schools and have become accustomed to being harassed, casual sexism and sexual harassment are plagues the thriving of society. It has become common to hear words like "Slude" and "huore" that identify and objectify women. Rape culture is a result of a generalized attitude of male supremacy the patriarchy in our society has perpetuated a desired men to feel powerful and is the cause for sexual harassment.

Sexual harassment and rape have become very common all over the world not just in one or two countries. Brock Turner an american college athlete, raped an unconscious 23 year old girl outside fraternity house and he was sentenced just six months jail but three months before he was released. This is an example of how rape and assault are trivialized in our world and it's utterly disgusting.

Men Are Victim Too!!

Additionally, It's important to know that anyone can be a victim of rape. It doesn't discriminate by age or gender. For male victims, the social paradigm surrounding rape brings unique challenges. The first and most common myth that they must face is that males can't be the victims of rape. But this is not true. Millions of boys and men have been the victims of rape too. The National Sexual Violence Resource Center reports that 1 in every 71 American men will be raped during their lifetime. And these numbers jump to the alarming heights when comes to considering a college education, because 1 in 16 men on campus will be sexually victimized. Sexual orientation can also greatly increase this risk, as bisexual and gay men are at a 50% higher risk than heterosexual men to be the victims of sexual violence other than rape. In male-rape scenarios, people find it unbelievable. There are some implications that women can't rape men, or that women never perpetuate sexual violence. But this is not true either. Sexual harassment happens to both men and women but it is very often women who are the victims unfortunately. Rape culture is a phenomenon that affects both men and women.

Clothes are not responsible for rape

The treatment of rape victims is inhumane when people open up about the assault and/or they are often blamed Sean accused of being dramatic relying ,shame and more rape culture has made us accustomed to blaming the survivors when it comes to sexual abuse. The victim of a rape or assault case is often blamed due to the clothing they wore. This is an absolutely ridiculous notion of a person's clothing does not deter by their consent , such an inanimate object is often blamed for one of the darkest human acts.

Let me say this loud and clear someone's clothing does not determine their consent, I hope it is clear to you that the presence of rape culture is in our everyday lives from casual sexism to assault rape culture is a festering sickness that continues to spread. it's disgusting.

How TO End This Rape Culture

In the fight to end rape culture, we must revolutionize our culture and we can no longer be part of a rape culture instead we must be part of a culture of respect. It's vital to be an ally to rape victims. Talking about sexual assault is really very uncomfortable, but that's precisely why we must do. So, if you are a victim of sexual assault, tell your story proudly and feel confident that's not you're mistake. And if you're not the victim than use your voice to help those who are. Because I firmly believe that our vulnerability is our voice that our stories fuel our strength, that our pain does not define us and these common experiences will bind strangers together with an unbreakable bond. Together, we can cure our society of this sickness that plagues us, and we will be free and to create a society in which equality can exist. There are four vital rules you must follow in order to be an ally.

1. Stop blaming the victim of sexual abuse. You should believe the victim, no person should be violated in that way no matter what. A person should feel comfortable wearing whatever he or she wants . They should feel safe walking back home at night.

2. Teach the youth that boys and girls are equal ,respect needs to be taught and emphasized all over the world. Stop teaching girls in particular how to dress and start teaching boys how to act, by using the phrase it's distracting. Rape culture continues to live on in our society.

3. Educate others, when you hear a sexist board or rape joke speak up and correct others, they must learn. Being advocate for equality and for ending rape culture.

4. Full exudes self-confidence. Don't allow the patriarchy and rape culture that surrounds you and bring you down. You are strong and powerful .It's important to believe in yourself. In our culture we want to hear this "you are so strong" , "it was not your fault", "you are brave", "I support you", "I believe you", "don't be ashamed", "girls and boys are equal", "you did not deserve it", "No means NO", "you're not alone".

Coronavirus: A virus changed our lives forever

2020-09-28T20:23:00.005+05:30

We are in the middle of the biggest crisis which we have never seen in our lifetime earlier and this big crises tend to change the world, often in ways that nobody predicted. In this moment, in which most of us are focused on how to survive in this pandemic with the least damage to our health, that of our loved ones and the economy.

Our lives took an unpredictable turn with the coronavirus pandemic. It has affected billions of people all around the world as this pandemic has affected different age-groups in different ways. Even when lockdown restrictions are eased, coronavirus will affect our lives in many different ways. All of us are looking forward to move back to our normal lives but with the vaccine months or year away, living with this virus might be the new normal where things are not going to be the same as they were earlier.

The world in 2021 or 2022 will be different to the one we have lived in until now and this new world will present new risks and opportunities for all of us. Lets see, what will world look like afterword.

WORKING FROM HOME BECOMES THE NEW NORMAL

The first big change is that working from home becomes standard a lot of businesses have realized that as their entire company has gone online the executives have thought to themselves, like 'this is kind of working we're able to still run our business and have our employees work from home', you know this allows us to not to pay for our building of a companies and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on big office buildings and think of all the money that goes into maintaining those buildings, from the janitorial services all the way to cafeteria. It is expensive . After this pandemic, companies allowing employees to work from home. Earlier there's a been a lot of frustration with the timing schedule of the companies ,it could be nine to five or more than that, and that's why a lot of people have been talking about their company timing and they feel frustrating and this could be a way of people of escaping that of keeping their jobs and allowing them still to work at home. So, I think there will be a big shift after this where companies don't really go back to their big building some will of course and more people will work from home and this could be a big fundamental shift in the way that we do business.

THE DIGITAL MIGRATION ACCELERATES

At this stage, the virus seems like an accelerator for digital change and the surprise has been to see the resistance to this digital change suddenly evaporate. It is becoming more clear that the way people are using technology every day to spend quality time with loved ones, engage with businesses and education, and perform their jobs is fundamentally shifting to a new normal. Loved ones who hadn’t seen each other in years are now seeing each other every day virtually, people are getting creative with virtual happy hours and keeping up with their formerly “physical” lives with shared workouts and virtual parties.

HEALTHCARE CONFRONTS SOME OLD PROBLEMS

The adoption of digital health tools from assessment services to telemedicine has rapidly accelerated in this era of pandemic, with healthcare organizations all over the world looking to digital solutions to support their efforts against the corona virus pandemic, and health technologies companies keen to rise to the occasion in support of healthcare payers, providers and patients alike. We are witnessing a step-change in the adoption of digital healthcare solutions, and that this has long-term potential. The healthcare and medical industry will be greatly affected by the coronavirus pandemic, and we can expect digital health technologies to form an essential part of the way forward.

And on the other hand there will be a monumental shift in attitudes toward mental health. Society, having experienced this collective trauma, will develop a new levels of empathy and a willingness to talk about mental health as an essential part of the healthcare in ways we have not seen it earlier.

EDUCATION GOES VIRTUAL

The change we are witnessing right now in education sector is not something that is likely to revert back to “normal” in the fall. Although teachers will always be integral part of education process, there will need to be continued flexibility and agility when it comes to things like the delivery of content, testing, and grading. So, I think online education is not the best case scenario, being in the classroom is a whole different dynamic and students learns a lot better but in this pandemic we have to switch to online classes.

If we think in different manner then this way of learning will open the door to the individuals who may be didn't have the opportunity to go to learn different colleges or schools because they didn't have an online option. Now schools and colleges will open their doors and you can get this degree either online or in the classroom or some combination of both that will open the door for a lot of people who weren't able to do that before. I do think online education will be a lot different and a lot more prominent in future.

PRESSURE TO BE CLEAN

The another big change will be pressure to be clean, this is something that is common in some cultures but not so much in country like mine. I think this new focus on cleanliness will change the world in two key ways, first is the personal way and the other one is in kind of business way.

So as far as the personal side of things, a lot more people will be focused on cleanliness and people will try to keep their distance from one another even after this pandemic. If you are in line with people after coronavirus, you will be staggered some distance and being more aware of it and people will wash their hands frequently like now they do because we've all been told these are the new kind of clean rules.

And on the other hand I think businesses will now take more pride in being clean before and that they may advertise for cleanliness and talk about how all their drivers wear masks or different things about the cleanliness or i would say sanitize, or how clean their buildings, theater are always cleaning every single night even if these are things that companies already did it's now gonna be something that they are sharing with the public and advertising because they know that the public is now caring about being clean after this pandemic.

THE NEW NORMAL OF SOCIAL DISTACING

This pandemic affect our social lives and interaction with others. Is shaking hands and hugging when greeting someone definitively over? Social distancing may also be here to stay for long and we may never recover the levels of social closeness we had in the recent past as human being is a social animal. Because of this pandemic things, everything just go opposite, as we are isolated at home, kept away from the people we love and appreciate. And due to this we realize the value of each other and love ones. And also because of this pandemic mental health came into the light.

12 common Superstitions in India with their logic

2020-09-20T21:27:00.000+05:30

In this scientific era of discoveries and inventions, science is making impossible things possible and that's why there is no place for the superstition in our society. But, also remember that science and superstitions are the two sides of the same coin unknown of their interdependence. Science in itself is a sweet beginning and sometimes a bitter ending as well whereas superstitions have neither the beginning nor the ending.

India is a country where traditions breathe comfortably next to the emerging new technologies. In India people used to believe in so many superstitions . 'Kaali billi rasta kaat gai' to 'nimbu mirchi totka', there are so many weird superstitions that we Indian have. I am not defending or going against them, but just simply sharing some of the possible reasoning that might just make us understand the origin of these superstitions which are present in our society. Some may not have any logic or reason behind them but some surprisingly sound scientifically right. We find ourselves standing at the juncture where science and superstition meet, sometimes restless, sometimes nonchalant. As a result of this, there are times when we question age-old practices, while in some cases we accept them unwittingly. So, there is no harm in keeping our minds open and giving a chance to the explanations for these superstitions

Here is an attempt to decode the possible logic behind some of the age old practices of our ancestors which are now labels as rituals:

1.A girl shouldn't do certain things while she is menstruating

This is the most common superstition from which every women in India suffers. For those who don't know that the first sanitary pads were invented in the year 1896 and that's why they use cloth kind of stuff while painkillers were not available before the 20th century. In India, there are so many places where women during their periods still do not have access to either.

So the logic here was that before we had access to both, these 5 days were extremely painful and stressful for every women and it was all about giving them proper rest. Women did not work during their periods because of discomfort, which slowly-slowly became a ritual and later on degraded to the form of a superstition. Always question the practice that you are following and not just go after it blindly.

2.Don't go near a Peepal tree in the night

Before that the world was clueless about the relation between sunlight and carbon dioxide that produces glucose for plants. Our ancestors probably knew about photosynthesis and the effects of inhaling carbon dioxide in the night as plant releases carbon dioxide at night which may harm our body if inhaled in huge amounts and peepal tree releases carbon dioxide in huge amount at night. Our body expels out carbon dioxide as it is a waste product for our body. Therefore if we inhale large quantities of carbon dioxide we may become unconscious for sometime and good for health. People mistaken this to be ghost's curse and all which is rubbish .

3.Bathe after attending a funeral ceremony

It has nothing to do with the departed soul, the logic here is that since our ancestors did not have vaccination for many diseases at that time which includes hepatitis, smallpox and other deadly contagious diseases and that's why it was best to come home and have a bath. The place where so many people visit and a dead body is left exposed, you never know what infections might be lurking around. So, this is the logic behind this superstition.

4. Mourning family of a dead person did not cook food until shraddha

We see this so often but never realized the true meaning of this. It has nothing to do with inauspiciousness but has a simple logical reasoning behind this. This Superstition says that, this is to prevent the burning of the soul of the deceased. However, logically it may have been started with the consideration of the family members who are broken due to the death of a loved one and need to mourn the deceased!

5.Don't cut nails after sunset

Nail clippers have sharp edges and if the light is not adequate then you may bound to hurt yourself. In the old days when there was no electricity in India. People at that time had to do it in the day time. And this logic turned into a superstition that people still believe and back it with weird explanations.

6. Sweeping the floor during the evening brings bad luck

The belief that sweeping the house in evening brings bad luck is a superstitious belief that we Indians have all encountered now and then. Our ancestors probably preferred to clean their house during the day because of the sunlight as there was no electricity, So as to avoid sweeping away something important and precious things.

Religiously, it is said that Goddess Lakshmi will walk out of your house if you sweep after the sunset. Now the reason is that the goddess generally pays a visit after the sunset or in evening so, if you sweep your house in evening then goddess Lakshmi won't come into your place.

7.Swallow Tulsi leaves, never chew

One of most popular belief that Tulsi is the avatar of Goddess Lakshmi and hence one should not chew the leaves of Tulsi but swallow it as this shows disrespect toward the goddess. But, the logic here is that although a Tulsi is healthy and used as medicinal plant in Ayurveda, it also contains a little amount of Arsenic. So, if you want to save your teeth turning yellow, also saving the enamel from degrading then you should not chew but always swallow Tulsi leaves.

8.Not To Sleep Facing The North

Most probably our older generation knew about the relationship between Earth's magnetic field and the human body's field. Our ancestors made this rule of sleeping with our head in the South direction to avoid harmful effects related to blood pressure and other diseases that asymmetry with the Earth's magnetic field would create. However, yet again, sadly, became a superstition that if we sleep with our head in the North direction, we will die.

9. Using lemon and green chilies to avert "buri nazar"

The nimbu totka is one of the most populour and visible 'superstitions' in India probably stems from a culture that encouraged their usage because of the qualities of lemon and chili. Both are rich in different vitamins and thus people at earlier time probably tried to propagate their use through symbols during ceremonies which slowly turned into a "totka".People also claim that they have pesticidal properties but this is not been proven.

10.Black Cat Crossing your Paths

It is considered a bad sign when a black cat crosses our path. This belief is not just in Inda only but in the west countries as well. The origin of this superstition has come from the Egypt, they belief that black cats were evil creatures and that they bring bad luck.On the other hand in India, black colour is mostly associated with Lord Shani. It is said that if a black cat crosses your path and if you want nothing bad happen with you, then you should let somebody else pass before you do. It does sound extremely selfish but as per the myth, this way, the first person will have all the bad luck and you will escape from the bad luck.

11.Broken Mirrors

It is said that in earlier times, mirrors are used to be very expensive but fragile. To avoid such negligence, people spread the rumour that breaking mirrors will bring you bad luck of 7years. The logic behind the number 7 is comes from Roman beliefs, it takes 7 years for a life to renew itself. So, the image if the person, who is not of sound health, will break the mirror and after 7 years, his life will renew itself and then he'll be in good health. This is the smart way of saving mirrors for sure!

12.Throwing coins in fountains and rivers bring good luck

Most of the currencies in ancient times were made of copper and by throwing copper coins into rivers, our ancestors ensured that they were consuming purewater beacause copper has antimicrobial property and it can kill 99.9% of infection-causing bacterias. However, today neither do we use copper coins nor do we drink water directly from the river water. This belief has brought in more pollution than than the good luck.

How to calm your mind from anxiety

2020-09-06T17:44:00.004+05:30

Anxiety is common in everyone and normal, in stressful situations such as public speaking or taking a test . Anxiety is only an indicator of underlying disease when feelings become excessive, when your feelings are not under your control but you are under the control of your feelings and interfere with daily living and this shows that one is suffering from anxiety disorders.

Now it does't mean every time your heartbeat get high and you feel stressful then you are suffering from anxiety disorder. Let me tell you example, you are out in the woods and you come face-to-face with a bear.This will probably make you feel anxious and you'll probably want to start running like crazy.This anxious feeling that you get is good because it protects you, it saves you,and it makes you on a hightail it out of there. Although, maybe it's not such a good idea to start running when you see a bear.I really don't think you can outrun a bear. Anxiety helps us meet our deadlines at work land deal with emergencies in life,but when this anxiety emotion is taken to the extreme end arises in situations which don't pose a real threat. Then, when you might have an anxiety disorder!!

Now for this i'll give you another example, a person who worry excessively and constantly about everything going on in their lives and they find it very difficult to control this worry.They also have symptoms like restlessness, fear, insomnia, nausea,palpitations, unwanted thoughts and they can't concentrate on tasks. So these things leads to anxiety disorders.To show you the impact of anxiety has on someone's life I will just mention that anxiety can lead to depression, school dropout, even sometime suicide. Also, it makes harder to focus, and to hold down a job,and it can lead to relationship breakdown.

In spite of whatever kind of anxiety you might be suffering from, there is something that you can do to lower it. It works and it's simpler than you may think. All too often, we are given medication for mental disorders, but it does't always work in the long run. Symptoms often come back, and you are back to where you started. So here's something else to consider, there are ways you cope or handle things has a direct impact on how much anxiety you are experiencing and if you tweak the way you are coping, then you can lower your anxiety. So, lets see how can we lower down anxiety:

Meditation:

Meditation is considered as a type of mind and body complementary medicine. Meditation can produce a deep state of relaxation, inner peace and a tranquil mind.During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the jumbled thoughts that are crowding your mind and causing stress. This process results in overall enhancement of personality and emotional well- being.

Meditation can take away your stress and bring inner peace. If you are stressed, anxietious, tensed, worried then just spending few minutes in meditation can replace your stress into calmness and restore your inner peace.

Another thing with meditation is, anyone can practice meditation. It's simple and inexpensive and also it does not require any special equipment. Also you can practice it anywhere say, waiting at the doctor's office or even in the middle of a difficult business meeting.

Exercise and Yoga:

Physical activity help to decrease mental health problems. Some Researches shows that exercise can improve the symptoms of many mental disorders including anxiety.

When stress affects the brain them not only brain but also the body feels the impact as well. If your body feels better then automatically your mind feel better. Exercise and other physical activity produce endorphins chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers and also improve the ability to sleep, which help to reduce the level of stress in the brain. Also, physical activities divert your mind form the thoughts which dives you into negativity.

Researchers have found that regular participation in exercise and yoga shows, decrease in overall levels of tension and stabilize your mood, improve your sleep, and also improve self-esteem. About five minutes of exercise and yoga can begin to stimulate anti-anxiety effects in your body.

Deep breathing is the practice which is performed in yoga also called Pranayama which also help in calming stress.Sometime anxiety may leads to fast heart rate, dizziness or even a panic attack. So, deep breathing helps to restore normal breathing patterns and reduce anxiety.

Get Good Sleep:

Many people with anxiety disorders have trouble sleeping commonly known as Insomnia and is common symptom of anxiety.Usually sleep improves when an anxiety disorder is treated well. Good "sleep hygiene" also helps, too. Here are some steps to take:

Set or fix the timing of your sleep -- Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.Sunlight helps to fix sleep patterns, so try to be outdoors while it's light out for 15 -20 minutes a day.

Keep naps short, less than an hour and forgo napping after 3 p.m.

Avoid caffeine, instead of caffeine start dring herbal tea. You may need to avoid caffeine completely if you have panic attacks because many people who experience panic attacks are extra-sensitive to caffeine.

Avoid alcohol, large meals which causes heartburn and drinking a lot of fluid for several hours before bedtime.

If you smoke then do quit it. Smoking causes many health issues, including disturbance in sleep in a variety of ways.

Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet, without distractions and avoid using mobile phones and computer, this will help you to get good sleep.

Reading, listening to music, or relaxing before bed with a hot bath or deep breathing all these helps you get good sleep.

Write down your worries before going to bed so that your mind feel relax.

Do regular exercise,by performing regular exercises or physical activities--this makes you tired and help to get better sleep.

Eat healthy diet:

As you can see points mention above are telling us indirectly that food affects our sleep and sleep helps in reduction of anxiety. On the other hand , our diet not just affecting our sleep but also affects our mood and emotions.

Low blood sugar levels, dehydration, or chemicals in processed foods such as artificial flavorings, artificial colorings, and preservatives may cause mood swings in some people. A high-sugar diet may also affect the temperament. If your anxiety worsens after eating then you should check your eating habits.

So, try to stay hydrated, eliminate processed foods, and eat a healthy diet rich in complex carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables, and lean proteins.

Divert your Mind:

Talk to someone ,who makes you feel comfortable. Call or text a friend or family member and share your worries or trouble with them, this make you feel better. Also you can write your fears on paper or diary.

Watch a funny video, this may be the easiest one you can watch clips of your favorite comedian or funny show. Laughing is a good for an anxious mind. Research shows that laughter has a lots of benefits for mental health and well-being.

Practice positive thinking is one of the most important aspect as if you're feeling anxious, go outside and get some fresh air. Put on your earbuds and start listening to your favorite and relaxing music. Try to take your mind away from what's bothering you and make feel anxious. You should focus on positive thoughts that will make you feel safe, accepted, loved, and honored.

Spend time with your pet,especially dogs and cats, can reduce your stress, anxiety, and depression, ease your loneliness, encourage exercise and playfulness, and even improve your cardiovascular health also.

Gender Equality: Men Too Are Victims of Social Expectations!

2020-08-26T01:56:00.005+05:30

“Have you ever seen a boy play with a Barbie?”, they’d say. “Why would a boy want to play with dolls when he is supposed to play with guns and superheroes?”

Patriarchy has deemed it necessary to divide our society into two neat blocks; the feminine and the masculine.This is how we have been taught to think. These are the norms that have been deeply inculcated within us. All these ‘values’ stem from centuries of patriarchy which have been dictating the way we should live our lives. Apart from undermining women and lending a false sense of superiority to men, patriarchy also ordains that men should be ‘masculine’ and women should be ‘feminine’ – something which the world has been conditioned and cultured to believe and follow. Hence, girls are ‘supposed to be’ slim and beautiful, and boys are ‘supposed to be’ athletic and stoic.

Masculinity is that the model most men get older with and it's natural they emulate it, mostly unquestioningly. Sexism is the practical manifestation of patriarchy. Men recover treatment, than women, in most spheres of life. Male dominance society, a consequence of sexism and patriarchy is accepted in our world as normal. These attitudes have been normalized over centuries of building up patriarchy.

However, as patriarchy grants men with privileges, we tend to ignore the harm it does to them. “Mard ko dard nahin hota” isn’t just a cheesy cliche, it’s a credo for men and most believe it wholeheartedly.

Let’s see how toxic masculinity affects men.

1. Suppression of Emotions

No soon is a baby boy born and everyone grooming to be a macho male begins. Being a person means keeping a stiff upper lip, and not letting your emotions show. The reprimand of “boys don’t cry a like a girl“ and “man up”, are repeatedly made to little boys, enforcing this socialization. The only legitimate emotion men are allowed to precise is anger and aggression.

2.The Provider

Men are expected to be the main (and in some cases, sole) providers in the family, to earn enough to keep the home fires burning. No wonder, men with working wives are ridiculed as “not wearing the pants!”. And the ultimate horror – a woman who earns more than her partner;get ready because now our society is gonna judge on the basis of your salary.

3.Men are Strong

“Women are weak and men are strong.” Male domination would have us believe that the powerful and powerful have precedence over the weak. As a consequence, not only do men dominate women, but also weaker, less powerful men, or men of class . In the Indian context, this means lower castes are beholden to higher castes. This thinking is justified by patriarchy.

4. Never a Victim

It’s time when we recognise that men can get raped too.Although the long-term effects of sexual abuse of women by men have been studied extensively, there has been minimal research exploring the effects of sexual assault by men and only in rape but now the days because there are many rights given to the women to prevent their interest. In some case they exploit their rights and play victim card to trap guys.

5.Caste and Patriarchy

Being the result of a difference in power, male dominance normalizes violence not only against women but also against other weaker men. In India, this is how the caste system works. The “inferior” weaker men with no economic or social power are kept subservient to the upper, dominant castes. Patriarchy and caste are bosom buddies.

What are the effects?

Now, we are seeing more male suicide across the world, but men don't ask for help.

Another thing male are now more sufferer of high blood pressure due to hyper tension.

Men are by far the major perpetrators and victims of violence, because the emotions of anger have been overly validated.

1 in 6 guys experience sexual abuse before the age of 18, but as men "they shouldn't speak out"

There are a thousand and one issues affecting men worldwide, but men can't even raise awareness or come out to say these things affect them.

While we have come a long way in fighting gender inequality, we need to recognise that not only women and girls, but men and boys also face the pressure of fitting into gender binaries.

The fact that boys are supposed to ‘be strong’ and ‘hide their feelings’ is extremely problematic.Boys all over the world are trapped in this suffocating cage of ‘masculinity’ where manhood is measured by strength and suppressing one’s feelings is equated with strength

The changing image of girls in society is protected by exposure and training. At least in urban India, parents today invest equally in educating their daughters the maximum amount as their sons.

Now mothers have reduced telling their daughters that you need to learn to cook and clean but no one has stopped telling a boy not to cry and express his emotions freely. There is certainly a clear change within the upbringing of a woman compared to earlier times, however, the society doesn't want to vary an equivalent for boys. So it’s time we empower our men too! just like we are providing support to our women.

Disclaimer: I am not presenting the fairness or unfairness of the expectations, society has on men. It is just a perspective that men too are not free from social bias.

Generation Gap: An Emerging Issue

2020-08-19T22:12:00.006+05:30

Generation gap is not only the difference of ages but the difference of opinions between one generation and another regarding beliefs, politics and values. In today's usage of generation gap often refer to a perceived gap between youngsters and their parents.

Generation gap is serious issue observed in youth and in their parents , the gap however is expected to be wider in case of grandparents and grandchildren. From their position in family and more life experience than younger family members, grandparents are uniquely poised to see that differences between generation can be positive for all those concern. This is not the case today, it would have happened earlier but over the recent years it has become more prominent in our society and addressed as the "PROBLEM" of the our society. Their personal choices, opinions and perception of different generation leads to conflicts and gaps between them.The main reason behind this gap is advancement in technologies and busy schedule which leads to another factor that is lack of communication.

As generation gap is always being there in the our society. Then why only now a days this issue is so prominent in our society for that we have to understand the generation gap of past and today's generation .

Let’s see some of the most important differences between our generation and old generation:

CULTURE :

If we are taking about culture, it is drastically changed from 19th century to late 20th and 21st century From art to music, cultural beliefs and customs, our generation has changed rapidly. Unlike the new generation, old generation were more of an independent generation since it was their personal responsibility for them to make something good out of themselves.

I don't mean that today's generation is not independent or they don't want to do anything, by this I mean that nobody used to spoon feed them and all the time they were made to know that life doesn't owe them anything in order that they wont to be attentive and fixated to make sure that they're always on the proper track.

On the opposite hand, our generation seems like we are authorized on everything and that we can easily hand over from doing something if it requires some extra effort or concentration. We have primed to always expect things to be finished us and it's truly affecting us on how we set about in our day-to-day activities.

TECHNOLOGY :

Now this thing we all know that technology has evidently changed our society both in positive as well as in negative manner. And most importantly mobile phones and computers are the result of advancement of technology. Huge number of latest generation is counting on the web and precisely social media which has seen to realize more attention from our kids over the past few years and people can now meet and communicate easily with their loved ones no matter your whereabouts.

From here we can see that in many families, all members(including old and new generations now days) are also using the phones instead of talking to each other even they are sitting in the same room this also causes lack of communication between them.

As compared to old generation technology wasn’t really familiarized , they used to sit together communicate and chlidren used to play outdoor games and ensure their task is completely done by their bare hands with none programmed device that they might use.

FASHION :

From dressing style to hairstyle and shoes, we've seen both men and women’s mode of dressing within the new generation varying as diverse clothes and outfits being introduced from various clothing designs on the runways and concerts as compared from the older generation where they never had such thing sort of a clothing company or designers and that they were still descent and smart as they wont to craft for themselves.

LIFESTYLE :

If we focused on lifestyle than baby boomers lifestyle was quite difficult because as how of discipline, the youngsters were whipped and given punishments by their parents and any mistake made there have been consequences and this made the child to be more vigilant and careful next time before trying another stupid thing but our generation parents are not that strict as compare to old generation parents when disciplining their child and that has led to the kid becoming rebellious and having troubles following some simple rules and regulations given by their parent.

So somewhere we have to accept the fact that in old generation have high moral values and they are more willing to respect their elders as compared to today's yougster.

IMPACT OF GENERATION GAP

In 19th century, developments were slow. Therefore, 2 or 3 generations spent their life with the same pace and values. However, the development in late 20th and 21st centuries is faster. Therefore, the insecurity in relationship is high.

Due to the difference in their bringing up, their mental framework differ from each other. Physciological and behavorial patterns are formed on the basis of circumstances one undergoes. When the people of the different generations meet each other they often are induced to difference in opinion, communication barriers, conflicts etc.

In this regard, parents think their children are wasting time on internet, social media apps and other trending technologies. These are making them useless. They expect that children spend time with us, read books, newspapers and do activities like they did or do. Parents also value the traditional practices.

On the contrary, the children want to follow the changes. They think that their parents are not accepting the change. They expect that parents must spent time with them, understand their values and interests in technologies that is beneficial to them.

Due to the difference in mentality the likes and dislikes also differ from each other. In this way both parents and children cannot live in peace with each other and they are unable to respect the likes and dislikes of opinion of each other. When the thought process is so different, then love cannot be expressed even if it exists. Both of them are unable to find a proper channel to express their feelings also.

How to Bridge this Gap between parents and children

In my opinion stop being a parent because after the age of eight or ten, they don't need a parent but they need a friend with whom they can share their secrets .When child is in trouble they will go to friend not to the parent. So as a parent, your the closest friend of your child. And in this way this you are helping your child to live trouble free life as they now always gonna tell you about the confusion in their life and being a parent, you always give them beneficial advice. By this way this generation gap can be fill.

There are some key point to bridge this gap mention bellow :

Keep An Open Mind

The way that children think is so different from how parents do and on the other hand Parents often feel like because they have already been the age their kid is currently, that they understand how their kid thinks. The truth is, the world and way of life was different earlier than it is now and their mind-set will be very different and can also be shocking for some parents. This is why keeping an open mind and not assuming that they must be just like you were at their age is very important. You must also understand that there are some things that are acceptable in society and therefore acceptable to your child that may not have been acceptable when you were the same age. It is especially in those areas where parents need to try and keep an open mind so they can better understand their children.

Communicate

Making the time to communicate with your kids every day is very important. The simple act of talking about each other’s day at the end of the day can help you get to know each other and make it easier to speak freely around the other. Children need to know they can approach their parents with anything, something that can ultimately give parents peace of mind since they do not need to worry about their children hiding things that are important.

Compromise

People can disagree on things, no matter how close to each other they are. Parents and children are no different; however, rather than forcing them into your way of thinking or forcing them to do what you want them to do when they don’t want to, learn to compromise when possible. There are times when you need to put your foot down with your children, but coming to a compromise instead of dictating their every move will make them closer to you and make that generation gap a little smaller.

Understanding

With listening comes understanding and this means that you have to learn to put yourself in your child’s shoes and trying to understand how they feel and what they want from what they tell you. If you are able to understand where your child is coming from, you will be able to close that generation gap to some extent.

Listen

Parents need to allow their kids time to talk without hesitation and listen to them what they have to say. Learning your child’s thoughts and opinions makes them feel like what they want or feel matters to you, which in turn makes them feel much closer to you than earlier. Having a parent who listens instead of only talks and lectures will give your child more encouragement to listen to you in return.

Unconditional Love

Love has a way of crossing boundaries and bringing people together if we acted upon. So show your kids how much you love them. This unconditional love and support that they get from you is very encouraging and makes children more inclined to show that same love and understanding back.

Only 5 daily habits for Beautiful and Healthy skin

2020-08-16T16:37:00.014+05:30

Skin care is the range of practices that support skin integrity ,enhance its appearance and relieve the skin conditions.

Your skin protect your body but that's not all. It's the face you present to the world. We all wanted that our skin looks amazing and healthy and even more better if it is crystal clear and we do a lot things to achieve that particular desire of crystal clear skin. but wait a minute the choices you make every day that is what you eat, where you go, how you feel-- all these things affect how your skin looks and these factor cause problem or issues to our skin. So here are some most common issues :-

Mega Zits
Dull Skin
Super oily skin
Sunburn
Melasma
ingrown hair
Pimple
post pimple dark spots

Now these are the most common issues faced by everyone. Basically you want to fight with these issue you have to be confident as everyone have their own personality and feel confident about your skin regardless of pimple issue---> that is how my skin is . Feel proud of your skin and then automatically you'll be clam and happy which also affects your skin but this time in a positive manner.

Let me tell you only five changes in your daily routine which help you to get the healthy skin. Earlier i am also facing some of the above listed issue but then i have used a lot of things and what not . So after facing these kind of problems and also overcome these issue . Now i can tell you form my experience that,You don't need to follow any other regime just make small change in your daily routine. So lets see the 5 thing which you need to change or adopt:-

Clean your face twice: It is something which is most important to clean your face with mild face wash of your choice and suited you the best according to your skin type. In my opinion one should use gel base facewash as they are gentle on your skin and do not harm your skin as forming facewashes do but if forming facewash is suiting you than use it only than there is no need to replace it. But the thing you need to understand is , you have to wash your face twice a day. This step you have to do in morning and at night time (when your skin repairs itself at night when sleeping)so, it become important to clean your face at night as it becomes germs free and repair easily.
Apply ice cube on face: It sounds crazy but really it helps a lot to tone your skin and make your skin supple and smooth .If you are suffering from acne and pimple it is the most effective to suppress those bumps which we never wanted to come on our skin. But make sure that your are doing it right way, wrap the ice cube in cotton cloth and dab it on your clean face. Do this thing on regular basis and see the amazing results .
Follow simple skin care routine: This is an important step as we all should follow Skin Care routine.And if you not aware of , what skin care is then it is all about CTM that Cleansing ,Toning and Moisturizing. this CTM is basic need of any skin. one should follow this routine according to their skin type. My main concern is many of us are following skin care and using expensive products but then also we suffer from pimple, acne,pigmentation dull skin etc. Now the main reason behind this you are using a lot of products on your skin and not intentionally but ending up hectic skin care routine which is not good for your skin. Too much of product means your layering up your skin with many products and in many case they are not absorb into the skin. This is the most common mistake made by us . So keep it as simple as that if you are using 3step skin care than just make sure products are according to your skin type and absorbing into the skin and we are ending up just layering up the products on skin.
Drinking Water: Now this step is most common but most effecting way to keep your skin healthy as well as your whole health. The human body is 60% water and your blood is 90% water. drinking water benefits the whole body in millions of ways. From flushing out toxin to preventing acnes and giving you glowing skin, water is a miracle drink! Here are all the benefits of drinking water for your skin:

Improve skin tone
Prevents premature aging
Faster healing
Reduces puffiness
Prevent acne
No more itchy skin on the face
Tighter skin
Maintain your pH balance
Promotes healthy gut, meaning clear skin
Prevents heat-related skin eruptions

5.Workout and sleep : Now , last but not the least EXERCISE , by getting the heart rate up and improving blood circulation, can help to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin which keeps the

skin healthy, promote collagen production, and promote new skin cells which keeps the skin looking glowing and is also helpful for anti-aging. On the other hand, a good sleep also improve your skin quality as level of the stress hormone cortisol fall during sleep, which helps skin to repair

day time damage. The body makes more collagen, which minimize fine lines. More human growth

hormones is released, increasing muscle mass and strengthening skin.
