Divorce

  This week we will talk about divorce and how that can affect the family. Separation in general, people are so overwhelmed by emotional distancing, conflict, disagreements or difficulties in communication and they do not manage to measure the implications that must be taken into account, not only in the present, but also in the future. Added to the separation situation itself, there are other aspects that need to be realistically assessed and addressed. Divorces can bring a high emotional cost because separation is a vital event that generate a grieving process, that is, a loss that entails suffering and that each one is forced to overcome individually. Also, when divorces happen, they all have different meaning for each part of the relationship, separation impacts partners differently. Rarely the two spouses experience it in the same way. What often happens is that one experiences the break as a step forward and the other as a step backward. This causes a mixture of feelings that int

PARENTING

  Parents are responsible for caring and giving children everything, the need for their healthy development, from their physical health to their emotional education. And without a doubt, one of the things that parents are supposed to make sure is that children are happy. There are studies that say that the first years of life will be the basis for their social and emotional development in the future, so it is extremely important that parents give them the necessary tools. Happiness is something we all aspire to. Having a life with which we feel calm, full and happy is undoubtedly one of the goals that many of us want, not only for ourselves, but also for our own children. I feel like parents have a mission that is: to help children to be happy. But how can they do it? There are many ways to do that but one of them is attachment. There are different types of attachment, but the one that will help them to raise happy children is the secure attachment, which is one in which a relationship

Finances

  Many things can put a strain on family ties. Health concerns, psychological disorders, discipline problems with children, and financial problems are some of the obstacles that can affect any family. Financial problems can have many causes and produce disastrous results when not handled quickly and properly. Families can take many steps to try to avoid problems or to get out of them. Many families experience financial problems due to poor money management skills and unwise decisions about how to use income and credit. Uncontrollable factors such as unemployment can add to financial problems for families. Lack of communication can lead to problems when shopping gets out of hand. Other causes for family financial problems include addictions, emotional problems, and stress that lead to irrational spending patterns. Family financial problems can lead to stress.

Communication

Image
  We have different ways to communicate now days which can vary from texting, blogging, calling, actions etc. I personally hate the communication way of texting because I really think that we cannot express our full message. Texting in 2021 is a need and is super common that we could not leave without it, but honestly If I could stop texting and call instead or just see your friend in person, I would rather do that than texting. I honestly hate texting and I am not good at it, and is because I get bored of talking to the people and most of the people try to be “interested” by not answering back immediately. Social media also gives us another way of communicate with the world which would be through videos and posts. I have TikTok and I have a certain number of followers which is more than 200 thousand followers and I can see how I can communicate different things with my videos, and even each video can have different meaning for different people depending their beliefs, habits etc. Also

Stress?

  Stress can be defined as any type of change that causes physical, emotional, or psychological strain. Stress is your body's response to anything that requires attention or action. We talk in class more about what causes, types, and ways to manage stress. We mentioned internal and external stress which I basically see as personal stress and stress that comes from other people to you. For example, internal stress for me is when I have to get my things done, things that I personally chose and that most of them are very important in my day. External stress for me is when people or situations in the exterior get you and you get stress from them or they transfer their stress to you. I also think that internal stress is much more important than external and that we can also avoid the external stress by simply not caring about the outer things. My strongest believe is that some internal stress is good because it makes us get things done. The hard thing to do about stress is learn how to

Sex

We talked about how sex and other interactions affect how we relate to others or how it affects our relationships. Oxytocin is a hormone that makes us feel amazing and that usually makes us do things that we shouldn’t. Oxytocin as a chemical messenger in the brain, controlling key aspects of the reproductive system, including childbirth and lactation, and aspects of human behavior. That hormone is usually known as the love drug because is usually generate it when the human is having intercourse. That is one of the reasons why people become addictive to sex and that take us to the next point which is why relationships don’t work.   Most of the relationships in 2021 are based on sexual contact instead of really getting to know each other and create an emotional connection. The reason why we see this more often is because how trends have changed and will keep changing to worse. The world wants to make us believe that evil is bad and that temporary emotions is true happiness which we as

Marriage

Marriage is one of the most important aspects of life, for a lot of reasons. There one that is super obvious, which is many of us wouldn’t exist without it. Then, there would be no dating at all because no one would have the desire to find a partner. We also have the legal aspects, not to mention the expenses during the actual wedding ceremony and reception, and the honeymoon. Basically marriage is more than just getting marry, it comes with a lot of things that we not even think about. Speaking of the wedding ceremony: There have been many statistics that show that if a couple pays more than 10,000 dollars on the entire ceremony, reception, etc. they’re more likely to divorce. ​I sometimes think that people just want the wedding to show off with their friends instead of really thinking of the commitment they are doing. We also have to think about or remember that back in times you used to co-habited before marriage, which also lead to more change to divorce. Let me explain why is tha
