Besides, what can you say that touches the hearts of others? Is it attractive to others?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">What is the common understanding that the beginning of a love relationship is how you looked at first sight?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, a person can look attractive due to some other qualities. Are you acceptable? how do you speak How are you presented? How do you behave?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A survey was conducted on this serofero in America. A common question was asked in it, 'What other qualities are attractive to a person apart from his looks?'</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The participants were of the opinion that material success like house, car is the lowest quality among the things that attract them. Rather, they said that qualities such as agreeing with their partner, speaking openly, and being intelligent are in a higher category than physical attractiveness.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How important is the cover?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Commenting on this survey, Greg Webster, a professor of psychology at the University of Florida, USA, says, 'In this kind of survey, people try to answer in such a way that others consider it good. Therefore, such a survey may not reveal the real truth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, in reality, people value the cover of others?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Psychologist Dr. Pooja Shivam Jaitley says, 'The initial attraction lies in the person's cover. However, there is a difference in the look of this person.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How do you look? That may be the first point that someone makes an impression on you. But one's beauty or cover cannot remain attractive for a long time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is determined by your personality, your needs and how you see the world. You may have liked it at first glance, but if there is no communication between you at that time, then the same thing may lead to differences. Listening to your partner and coming to an agreement is an important condition for any relationship to last.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may have liked someone because of their cover or beauty. But if she doesn't care about you, will you still like her?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Measuring the personality of any person is not an easy task. For decades, psychometric tests have asked people many such questions in order to gain more information about their personality.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How to evaluate someone's personality?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How to evaluate the personality of a person in ordinary life?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Behavior expert and life coach Aastha Dewan says, 'A person's personality is made up of a few things. How easy is it to communicate with you? This is important.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Do you let the second person speak when you are having a conversation? What is your interest, what is your opinion, what is the value of life, what is your confidence? All these things are an important part of personality.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may also have heard that 'opposites attract' when two people who are completely different from each other are attracted to each other. Because differences in personality also attract people.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then a person is looking for such a friend, who is already familiar with him. Whose personality, lifestyle and social group match. This is the basic principle of attraction.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Aastha Dewan's comment on this is, 'Sometimes a person looks for his equal friend. Sometimes it looks different from itself. This is a human tendency.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Especially if there is similarity in your thoughts, qualities, preferences, you will connect with each other immediately.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In order to sustain any relationship, it is necessary to be compatible to be able to show your own values while staying together.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is not that people always look for their equality. Sometimes he likes a personality very different from himself. If both fulfill each other's needs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. According to Aastha Dewan, attraction is more often with the opposite person than friendship. Friendship also happens quickly between two completely different people.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">She says, "How many times a person looks for what he lacks in his partner. And together with each other, they make up for that deficiency.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is very important for the relationship to agree on the attractiveness of the other person. Greg Webster, along with social psychologists Angela Bryan and Amanda Mahaffey, researched three personality traits.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">These three qualities were being physically attracted to people. Second, to be economically influential. Third, to make mutual agreement.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In this study, it was found that these three qualities attract people to themselves?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Because each property fulfills basic needs like safety and food in one way or another. But dominance can be anything, good or bad.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Whether people are in a relationship or not, people want their partner to be socially, physically and financially dominant. But most people do not accept this. That dominance also becomes a problem in their relationship.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If a person also has the quality of establishing dominance as well as making mutual consent, it adds to the attraction.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In essence, Webster says, "The quality we have of getting along with everyone is the best of our personality traits."</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-52414068520959492632024-03-04T22:11:00.000-08:002024-03-04T22:11:56.702-08:00 How to resolve the conflict between the couple?<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> How to resolve the conflict between the couple?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There is no couple in the world who want to fight with each other. But it is said that not everything is in our hands. It is exactly the same in the relationship between husband and wife. Sometimes, even if you don't want to, the situation is such that a fight takes place.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://cdn.memiah.co.uk/uploads/counselling-directory.org.uk/image_gallery/relationship-conflict-1673345073-hero.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="812" height="394" src="https://cdn.memiah.co.uk/uploads/counselling-directory.org.uk/image_gallery/relationship-conflict-1673345073-hero.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, in every married relationship there are minor conflicts and the couple resolves them and moves on. But sometimes even small quarrels take a big form and the matter reaches divorce. If so, what should be done to prevent the fight from getting bigger? What kind of habits can escalate the dispute with the spouse?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Loud voice while speaking</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When both of them say such things, problems start to arise. Which is not easy for both of them to bear. He is not paying attention when he gets angry with his partner about something. Because of this, most of them come in a rage and speak in a loud voice. They start yelling to prove their point. Sometimes foul language is also used in anger.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This not only spoils the relationship, but can even lead to divorce. In such a situation, the problem should be resolved in a peaceful manner as possible.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A relationship does not end if there is a fight. But it is not right to blame each other after a fight. If you have a habit of fighting over small things, it can bring coldness in your relationship. During this period, instead of counting each other's mistakes, it is better to calm things down by showing understanding.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Leaving things unfinished</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Someone's habit is to start an argument about something and then suddenly become silent. But silence is not the solution. It turns out to be like adding ghee to a burning fire. If you do this, your partner may feel like you are running away. Such behavior does not only increase the problem. The relationship will not be the same as before.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Treat each other as enemies</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Unnecessary fights between husband and wife weaken their relationship. But after a fight, when they consider each other as enemies, a bigger problem arises. In the process, he forgets that he is under the same roof. If even one of them gets hurt, it will have a big impact on their married life. Therefore, when they are against each other, no problem is solved, it becomes more complicated. By doing this, the relationship can become dark and everything can get out of hand.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How to solve?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How to stop a fight once it starts? It can be difficult to know. Conflict may seem impossible to stop. Disputes can range from household chores or minor disagreements, doubts or financial transactions to major disputes. It is important to identify what kind of disagreement there is. Because it will help determine the best way to stop the argument.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">One way to prevent conflict in a relationship is to take a break for both of you after the conflict is heated up. This gives each person time to reflect on the situation before continuing the conversation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are also some effective phrases that can be said when there is a dispute. Which calms the heated atmosphere.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">'Let me think about it'</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">After saying this, both of them remained calm for some time. In this case, the pattern indicates that the idea is taken care of. If you take time to think, the solution to the problem will surely come out.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">"You may be right"</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This sentence shows the willingness to make a positive compromise on the disputed matter. This hint is enough to soften the mood for most people. And, it forces them to think about taking a step back.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">"I understand"</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">These are powerful words. Conflicts happen when feelings and situations are not understood. If you listen well and say you understand, it shows sympathy. Understanding does not mean agreeing with something wrong. Understanding does not necessarily mean solving the problem. But if you make a mistake by listening, it helps to remember calmly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">"forgive me"</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Many people hesitate to apologize because they think that admitting their mistakes will make them feel small. But sometimes apologizing in a dispute shows sympathy. It can kill the feeling of anger in an instant.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-45572983158385422732024-03-04T22:07:00.000-08:002024-03-04T22:07:26.144-08:00 How to make sex life easier for people with high blood pressure and heart disease?<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> How to make sex life easier for people with high blood pressure and heart disease?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sex is a natural need. However, many people with heart problems may have a question - doesn't sexual activity put the heart at greater risk?</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.bhf.org.uk/-/media/images/information-support/heart-matters/2018/august-2018/wellbeing/heartfaqs_photo_noexp_620x400.jpg?rev=ee0e95f5ea834af295c139759c887daa" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="600" height="427" src="https://www.bhf.org.uk/-/media/images/information-support/heart-matters/2018/august-2018/wellbeing/heartfaqs_photo_noexp_620x400.jpg?rev=ee0e95f5ea834af295c139759c887daa" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is natural to have this dilemma. Because as much as other health problems are openly discussed, not so much is discussed about sex. Patients do not openly ask questions about this due to hesitation with doctors. So that it may be affecting the sex life directly and indirectly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Does having heart problems affect your sex life?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Factors such as physical and mental condition, appropriate person and environment can make a difference in the outcome of sex. But sex is a basic need and it is not considered a taboo subject even in any disease.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is considered safe to have sex even in people with heart problems. According to a journal published in the Johns Hopkins Medicine Organization, cohabitation is considered safe for people with heart and high blood pressure who have no problem climbing stairs, walking and running for some distance. If there are no symptoms, there is no objection to intercourse.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">But during the extreme stimulation of sexual intercourse, heart rate increases and blood pressure also increases, so the heart may be under more pressure. For this reason, it is necessary to take some precautions in people with heart artery disease. But it is not necessary to stay away from sexual contact.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If the chest becomes heavy during normal swaying or climbing stairs, there may be some risk of heart attack during sexual intercourse. In such a case, after examining a cardiologist, proper treatment can be given and sexual activity can be done after consulting about precautionary measures.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Post-heart attack condition</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is not good to do too much physical activity for the first two weeks after a heart attack. After that, when the chest is not heavy while swinging and it is easy to do moderate physical activity, then it is possible to have sex. But the condition of being able to have sex and not being able to have sex may differ from person to person.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How to facilitate sex life after a heart attack?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">- Husband and wife should talk about their interests and situation without keeping any distance between them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">- A healthy person between husband and wife should help each other by understanding each other's situation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">- Do not have sex immediately after eating.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">- Fear should be removed from the mind. Sometimes you can't enjoy sex if you are afraid of having heart problems during intercourse.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">- If the chest becomes heavy during intercourse, it may be necessary to stop the activity immediately and take medicine of the "nitrate" group. What the doctor may have said during the consultation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">- If you feel uncomfortable, you should consult a doctor.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Effects of sex on hypertension and cardiovascular disease</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In people with high blood pressure and heart disease, the interest in sex is low and the male sex is not stimulated, it takes more time to get excited, and the excitement may not last for a long time. Women may also experience less interest and vaginal dryness and more pain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">the reason</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Just as fatty substances accumulate in the blood vessels of the heart and brain and become narrowed, the blood vessels of the penis and vagina also become narrowed when the blood pressure increases. And, the blood flow decreases, which can decrease sexual interest in both.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes, heart and high blood pressure patients think they are weak without any reason and weaken their self-esteem, so they don't show priority in sex and cannot get full satisfaction. A condition that requires psychological counseling.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, some medicines related to heart and high blood pressure also affect sexual function. Medicines of the 'thiazide' and 'beta blocker' group used for high blood pressure can reduce sexual interest, lack of extreme pleasure, and decrease in sexual stimulation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Studies have shown that about 10 percent of young and old people taking these drugs have this effect. Similarly, drugs such as digoxin and sparonolactone, which are used for heart disease, can also reduce sexual desire and cause pain and swelling in men's breasts.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Those with heart rhythm problems may also experience lack of sexual desire and sexual satisfaction. In addition, sexual desire can decrease in diseases such as high blood pressure, various hormone-related conditions, kidney disease, and long-standing uncontrolled diabetes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">What is the solution?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Medicines such as Viagra can be taken to increase sexual arousal. But before taking this medicine, you should consult a doctor.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Alternative medicines can be used on the advice of a doctor, depending on the age and condition of the person, instead of the drugs of the 'thiazide' and 'beta blocker' group used for high blood pressure and the drugs like 'digoxin' and 'sparonolactone' used for heart disease.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Taking Viagra can be fatal for people who are taking drugs from the 'nitrate' group. Apart from that, people with very high or low blood pressure, recent heart attack patients, kidney and liver diseases should not take Viagra.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-13915706948626867862024-03-04T22:01:00.000-08:002024-03-04T22:01:29.851-08:00 Some tips for newlyweds about sex life<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> Some tips for newlyweds about sex life</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When you think of honeymoon, you only think of things related to empty sex, which is wrong. During this period, those who have a love marriage get a chance to understand each other more than those who have a love marriage. If you go somewhere during the honeymoon period, you will have a sweet memory for the rest of your life.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://cdn.aarp.net/content/aarpe/en/home/home-family/friends-family/info-2024/tips-to-have-better-sex/_jcr_content/root/container_main/container_body_main/container_body1/container_body_cf/container_image/articlecontentfragment/cfimage.coreimg.50.932.png/content/dam/aarp/home-and-family/family-and-friends/2024/02/1140-couple-intimate-in-bed-02.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="535" data-original-width="932" height="367" src="https://cdn.aarp.net/content/aarpe/en/home/home-family/friends-family/info-2024/tips-to-have-better-sex/_jcr_content/root/container_main/container_body_main/container_body1/container_body_cf/container_image/articlecontentfragment/cfimage.coreimg.50.932.png/content/dam/aarp/home-and-family/family-and-friends/2024/02/1140-couple-intimate-in-bed-02.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">But it is better to know the sexual health problems that occur during the honeymoon and their solutions and safe sex methods. In matters of sex, the newlyweds should not be in a hurry to have sex, especially to show the aggressive behavior of men. It is better to have information about some aspects of sexual stimulation that can be done before sex rather than having sex once a day.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Listening to veg-non-veg jokes and using sexual organs can be done before intercourse. It is good for the couple to consume light alcohol as it helps in sexual performance. But from the point of view of safety, i.e. because you have to provide protection to your wife, you should not drink while drunk. Perfume can be used to remove sweat and body odor.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Since the membrane (hymen) in the vagina can be easily torn while learning to ride a bicycle, ride a bike, or ride a horse in the teenage years, there should not be any disagreement between the couple regarding the issue of virginity being broken depending on whether or not the membrane (hymen) is present in the vagina during the first sexual intercourse. Similarly, some men may have the problem of premature ejaculation, which is called premature ejaculation. This problem may have been due to mental reasons.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">As mentioned above, if you do pre-sexual activities, you can increase your confidence and get rid of the problem of premature ejaculation. In addition, one should not dwell on sexual thoughts long before intercourse, stop and start sexual intercourse during intercourse, change posture, hold the bottom of the penis, use a condom, and exercise control of ejaculation by using muscles.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Frequent urinary tract infections are one of the other common problems that appear after starting to have sex. Which is also known as honeymoon cystitis (bladder infection) in medical language. Also, slight bleeding may occur due to injury to the hymen after the initial intercourse.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Among the pleasures or pleasures that a person can get, the extreme pleasure that can be obtained during sexual activity is probably the best category. In men, peak pleasure is achieved a little sooner, while in women, it is achieved only after a long interval. Men should be especially careful about this. Because even though there are still educated and modern girls in Nepal, they hesitate to express that they are not satisfied. If this matter is ignored and taken lightly, mental problems i.e. depression (sadness) may gradually appear in women.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Some couples, especially the female partner, may experience more pain than usual during intercourse. Which is called dyspareunia in medical language. Dyspareunia occurs when there is insufficient production of vaginal fluid, vaginal dryness, muscle contractions around the genitals due to fear or fear of sexual activity, chronic female genital infections, and blood clots around the uterus (endometriosis) after menstruation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Males with erectile dysfunction can use drugs that increase sexual arousal. But in stressful or fearful situations and places, even if you try to have sex in a hurry, there may be a problem of not stimulating the sex, you should be careful about this. If a child is born within a month or a year of marriage, the happiness of married life may decrease due to additional responsibilities. Therefore, to enjoy marriage for some time, it is better for the couple to have children only after a few years of marriage.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Condom is the proper family planning tool for newly married couples to prevent pregnancy. Care must be taken when using the condom so that it does not break. Condoms can break in stressful or fearful situations and under pressure to demonstrate sexual ability. If the condom breaks, sexual intercourse should be stopped immediately, the penis should be removed, the genitals should be cleaned, and the penis should be changed.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There should be knowledge that pregnancy results from ovum expulsion, ejaculation during sexual intercourse, ovum fertilization, ovum implantation. Therefore, every woman should know the period of pregnancy according to her menstrual cycle. Condoms should be used during this period of pregnancy. During the rest of the time, you can have sexual contact openly without a condom.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Even if both these efforts fail, there is no need to panic, because pills can be used to get rid of emergency pregnancy. For this, four pills should be taken as the first dose within 72 hours of intercourse and the second dose after 12 hours.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Keeping this in mind, progesterone-only pills can be used, while condoms can be used for five days after unprotected intercourse. Even after that, in case of extensive stress, urine test and other safety measures can be adopted after consulting a gynecologist.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-31143829080565028942024-01-21T00:08:00.000-08:002024-01-21T00:08:54.710-08:00 What is mode of production. Compare and contrast economic features of feudal and capitalist mode of production.<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> What is mode of production. Compare and contrast economic features of feudal and capitalist mode of production.</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Mode of Production:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The mode of production refers to the way in which a society organizes and carries out economic activities, including how goods and services are produced, distributed, and consumed. It involves the relationships between the means of production (such as land, labor, and capital) and the social relations of production (such as the organization of labor and the distribution of resources). Marx identified different historical modes of production, each characterized by distinct economic structures and class relations.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://simplysociology.com/wp-content/uploads/Marx-mode-of-production.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="371" data-original-width="800" height="297" src="https://simplysociology.com/wp-content/uploads/Marx-mode-of-production.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Feudal Mode of Production:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. **Economic Structure:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Land is the primary means of production in feudalism. The feudal lord owns the land and grants portions to vassals (nobles) in exchange for loyalty and services.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Agricultural production is central, and the majority of the population works as peasants on the lord's land.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. **Class Relations:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Feudal society is characterized by a hierarchical structure. The king or monarch is at the top, followed by nobles and vassals, with peasants forming the majority.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Serfs, tied to the land, provide labor in exchange for protection from the lord.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. **Surplus Extraction:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Surplus extraction occurs primarily through direct control of land. Lords extract surplus through a portion of the agricultural produce produced by peasants.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. **Economic Dynamics:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - The feudal system is static, with limited social mobility. Social status and economic roles are largely determined by birth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Capitalist Mode of Production:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. **Economic Structure:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Capitalism is characterized by private ownership of the means of production, such as land and factories.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Wage labor becomes a central feature, with workers selling their labor power to capitalists (owners) in exchange for wages.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. **Class Relations:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Capitalist society is marked by a class division between the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class).</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - The bourgeoisie owns the means of production, while the proletariat sells their labor to survive.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. **Surplus Extraction:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Surplus extraction occurs through the production process. Capitalists accumulate surplus value by paying workers less than the value produced by their labor.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. **Economic Dynamics:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Capitalism is characterized by dynamic economic growth, technological advancements, and constant innovation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Social mobility is theoretically possible, as individuals can accumulate wealth and change their class position.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Comparison:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. **Ownership of Means of Production:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Feudalism: Means of production, especially land, are owned by the feudal lords.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Capitalism: Means of production, including land and factories, are privately owned by individuals or corporations.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. **Labor Relations:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Feudalism: Serfs provide labor in exchange for protection, and there is limited mobility.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Capitalism: Workers sell their labor power for wages, and social mobility is theoretically possible.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. **Role of Surplus Extraction:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Feudalism: Surplus extraction is mainly through control of land and agricultural produce.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Capitalism: Surplus extraction occurs within the production process through wage labor.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. **Social Mobility:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Feudalism: Social mobility is restricted, and social roles are often determined by birth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Capitalism: Social mobility is theoretically possible, allowing for the accumulation of wealth and change in class position.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. **Economic Dynamics:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Feudalism: Economic activity is relatively static, with limited technological progress.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Capitalism: Dynamic economic growth, technological innovation, and constant change characterize capitalist economies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In summary, the feudal and capitalist modes of production represent distinct economic structures with different ownership relations, labor dynamics, and mechanisms of surplus extraction. The transition from feudalism to capitalism marked a significant shift in societal organization and economic relations.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><h2>Class and class struggle.</h2><div><br /></div><div>**Class:**</div><div>In the context of Marxist theory, a class is a social group characterized by its relationship to the means of production. The two primary classes in capitalist societies, as identified by Karl Marx, are the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.</div><div><br /></div><div>- **Bourgeoisie:** The capitalist class, or owners of the means of production (factories, land, resources). They derive profit from the labor of the proletariat.</div><div><br /></div><div>- **Proletariat:** The working class, those who sell their labor power to the bourgeoisie. They do not own the means of production and are dependent on wages for their livelihood.</div><div><br /></div><div>**Class Struggle:**</div><div>Class struggle refers to the ongoing conflict and tension between social classes, particularly between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Marx argued that this struggle is intrinsic to capitalist societies and is rooted in the fundamental economic relations of production.</div><div><br /></div><div>- **Nature of Class Struggle:**</div><div> - **Economic Exploitation:** The primary source of class struggle is the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie. The capitalist system relies on extracting surplus value from the labor of workers.</div><div><br /></div><div> - **Conflicts of Interest:** The interests of the bourgeoisie and proletariat are inherently conflicting. While the bourgeoisie seeks to maximize profits, the proletariat aims to improve working conditions, wages, and gain control over their labor.</div><div><br /></div><div>- **Forms of Class Struggle:**</div><div> - **Economic Strikes:** Workers may engage in strikes to demand better wages, improved working conditions, or protest against unfair labor practices.</div><div><br /></div><div> - **Political Movements:** Class struggle can manifest in political movements advocating for workers' rights, social equality, and sometimes revolutionary change.</div><div><br /></div><div> - **Unionization:** Formation of labor unions is a way for the proletariat to collectively negotiate with the bourgeoisie for better terms of employment.</div><div><br /></div><div>- **Historical Materialism:**</div><div> - Marx's historical materialism asserts that the dynamics of class struggle drive historical change. Transitions from one mode of production to another (e.g., feudalism to capitalism) are propelled by class conflicts.</div><div><br /></div><div>- **Role of Class Consciousness:**</div><div> - Class consciousness refers to the awareness among the proletariat of their common interests and collective identity. Marx argued that the development of class consciousness is crucial for effective class struggle.</div><div><br /></div><div>**Critiques and Developments:**</div><div>- Some critics argue that the modern working class may not align precisely with Marx's industrial proletariat, leading to challenges in applying traditional Marxist class analysis.</div><div>- Contemporary Marxist scholars explore intersections of class with other social categories, such as race and gender, acknowledging the complexities of identity and inequality.</div><div><br /></div><div>In summary, class and class struggle are foundational concepts in Marxist theory, providing a lens to understand the dynamics of power, exploitation, and societal change within capitalist systems.</div><div><br /></div><div><h2>Historical marerialism.</h2><div><br /></div><div>**Historical Materialism:**</div><div><br /></div><div>Historical materialism is a key concept in Marxist theory developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It is a methodological approach to understanding societal development and change, emphasizing the role of material conditions in shaping historical processes. The central tenets of historical materialism include:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. **Primacy of Material Conditions:**</div><div> - Historical materialism posits that the material or economic structure of a society—specifically, the mode of production—forms the foundation upon which all other social, political, and cultural structures are built.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. **Modes of Production:**</div><div> - Societies are characterized by distinct modes of production, each with its specific relations of production and means of production. Marx identified historical epochs, such as feudalism, capitalism, and socialism, as different modes of production.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. **Dialectical Change:**</div><div> - Historical materialism employs a dialectical approach, drawing inspiration from Hegelian dialectics. It sees historical development as a process involving contradictions, conflicts, and transformations. Changes in material conditions lead to social conflicts and, eventually, new social structures.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. **Class Struggle:**</div><div> - Class struggle is a central dynamic in historical materialism. Changes in the mode of production often arise from conflicts between social classes. For example, the transition from feudalism to capitalism is characterized by the struggle between feudal lords and emerging capitalist classes.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. **Base and Superstructure:**</div><div> - The economic base, encompassing the relations and means of production, influences the superstructure, which includes cultural, legal, political, and ideological institutions. Changes in the base drive changes in the superstructure.</div><div><br /></div><div>6. **Revolutionary Change:**</div><div> - Historical materialism suggests that significant societal transformations often require revolutionary change, particularly changes in the mode of production. For Marx, the transition from capitalism to socialism would involve a proletarian revolution.</div><div><br /></div><div>7. **Human Agency and Consciousness:**</div><div> - While material conditions shape societal structures, historical materialism recognizes the role of human agency. People act within the constraints of their material conditions but can also influence and transform those conditions. Class consciousness, or awareness of one's social class and interests, is crucial for social change.</div><div><br /></div><div>**Application to History:**</div><div><br /></div><div>1. **Feudalism to Capitalism:**</div><div> - Marx applied historical materialism to explain the transition from feudalism to capitalism. Changes in agricultural technology, property relations, and the rise of merchant capitalism played pivotal roles in this historical process.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. **Capitalism to Socialism:**</div><div> - Marx envisioned the proletarian revolution as the next stage in historical development, leading to the establishment of socialism. The transition involves the collective ownership of the means of production and the abolition of class distinctions.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. **Global Application:**</div><div> - Historical materialism has been used to analyze the development of various societies worldwide, accounting for differences in historical trajectories based on economic structures.</div><div><br /></div><div>**Critiques and Developments:**</div><div><br /></div><div>1. **Non-economic Factors:**</div><div> - Critics argue that historical materialism may oversimplify complex historical processes by reducing them solely to economic factors, neglecting the influence of culture, ideas, and non-material forces.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. **Intersectionality:**</div><div> - Contemporary scholars have expanded historical materialism to consider intersections with race, gender, and other social categories, recognizing that class is just one dimension of social hierarchy.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. **Adaptability:**</div><div> - Some argue that historical materialism is adaptable and can be applied to understand various forms of societal development beyond the classic capitalist framework.</div><div><br /></div><div>Historical materialism remains a foundational concept in Marxist thought, providing a framework for analyzing the historical development of societies and the interconnectedness of economic, social, and political structures.</div><div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div><h2>Marxist notion of consciousness.</h2><div><br /></div><div>The Marxist notion of consciousness is a critical aspect of Karl Marx's philosophical and sociological framework. In Marxist theory, consciousness refers to the awareness, beliefs, and ideas that individuals hold about themselves, society, and their position within the social structure. Key components of the Marxist notion of consciousness include:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. **Base and Superstructure:**</div><div> - Marx proposed the concept of the base and superstructure to explain the relationship between the economic structure of society (base) and the cultural, political, and ideological elements (superstructure). Consciousness is seen as part of the superstructure and is influenced by the underlying economic conditions.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. **False Consciousness:**</div><div> - Marx introduced the concept of false consciousness to describe a situation where individuals hold beliefs and ideas that are contrary to their own class interests. This occurs when the dominant ideas in society, often shaped by the ruling class, mislead individuals into accepting and supporting the existing social order.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. **Class Consciousness:**</div><div> - Class consciousness is a crucial concept in Marxist theory. It refers to the awareness that individuals have of their membership in a particular social class and their understanding of the shared interests and goals of that class. For the proletariat, developing class consciousness is seen as a precursor to revolutionary action.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. **Ideological State Apparatuses:**</div><div> - Louis Althusser, influenced by Marxist thought, introduced the concept of Ideological State Apparatuses (ISAs). These are institutions like schools, media, and religious organizations that disseminate ideological messages reinforcing the existing social order. They play a role in shaping and maintaining the consciousness of individuals.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. **Role in Social Change:**</div><div> - Marx believed that changes in the economic base of society would eventually lead to changes in consciousness. As the material conditions of production change, individuals' awareness and understanding of their place in society are expected to evolve, potentially leading to shifts in political and social structures.</div><div><br /></div><div>6. **Revolutionary Consciousness:**</div><div> - Marx envisioned a process where the proletariat, through developing class consciousness, would achieve revolutionary consciousness. This involves an understanding of the need to overthrow the existing capitalist system and replace it with a socialist or communist society.</div><div><br /></div><div>7. **Materialism and Consciousness:**</div><div> - Central to Marxist philosophy is historical materialism, emphasizing the material conditions of society as the driving force behind historical development. Consciousness, according to Marx, is rooted in these material conditions, and changes in the mode of production can influence ideological shifts.</div><div><br /></div><div>8. **Critique of Religion:**</div><div> - Marx famously described religion as the "opium of the people," suggesting that religious beliefs often serve to mask the harsh realities of class-based exploitation. He argued that changes in economic conditions would lead to a transformation in religious and ideological consciousness.</div><div><br /></div><div>In summary, the Marxist notion of consciousness is intricately linked to the social and economic structures of a given society. It encompasses ideas of false consciousness, class consciousness, and the potential for revolutionary transformation based on shifts in material conditions and individuals' awareness of their social roles.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-39715055642188927362024-01-21T00:03:00.000-08:002024-01-21T00:03:40.128-08:00 Critically analyze the Marxist notions of class and class struggle in society. <h2 style="text-align: justify;"> Critically analyze the Marxist notions of class and class struggle in society. </h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Marxist notions of class and class struggle are central components of Marx's sociological analysis, providing a critical lens through which to understand societal dynamics. Here's a critical analysis of these concepts:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**1. **Strengths of Marxist Notions:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - **Structural Analysis:** Marx's class theory offers a structural analysis of society, highlighting the role of economic structures in shaping social relations. This perspective helps uncover underlying power dynamics and systemic inequalities.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - **Historical Evolution:** By emphasizing historical materialism, Marx traces the evolution of class structures through different modes of production. This historical lens enriches our understanding of how societies transform over time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - **Class Consciousness:** The concept of class consciousness suggests that as the working class becomes aware of its collective interests, it can mobilize for social change. This notion has inspired social movements and labor struggles.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/Anti-capitalism_color-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="617" height="640" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/Anti-capitalism_color-2.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**2. **Criticisms and Limitations:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - **Simplification of Class Relations:** Critics argue that Marx's division of society into two primary classes—bourgeoisie and proletariat—oversimplifies the complexity of actual class relations. Modern societies exhibit diverse occupational roles and class configurations beyond this binary model.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - **Neglect of Other Social Factors:** Marxist analysis tends to prioritize economic factors, sometimes neglecting the influence of non-economic factors such as race, gender, and cultural identity. Intersectionality scholars argue for a more inclusive approach to understanding social hierarchies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - **Deterministic View:** Some critics contend that Marx's emphasis on economic determinism can be overly deterministic, implying that all social phenomena can be reduced to economic factors. This perspective may overlook the agency of individuals and the impact of cultural, political, and ideological factors.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - **Globalization Challenges:** In the era of globalization, where transnational corporations and complex global supply chains blur traditional class boundaries, the applicability of Marx's class analysis to contemporary global capitalism has been questioned.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**3. **Contemporary Relevance and Adaptations:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - **Global Capitalism:** While some aspects of Marx's class theory face challenges in the contemporary global context, the widening wealth gap and concentration of economic power in the hands of a few have sparked renewed interest in Marxist analyses of inequality.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - **Expanding Class Categories:** Contemporary scholars have expanded on Marx's class categories to incorporate new social groups and identities. This includes recognizing the precariat (precarious proletariat) and acknowledging the influence of cultural and symbolic capital in shaping social hierarchies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - **Cultural Hegemony:** The concept of cultural hegemony, developed by Antonio Gramsci, supplements Marx's class theory by exploring how ruling classes maintain dominance through cultural means. This enriches the analysis by considering the role of ideas and cultural narratives.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**4. **Potential for Synthesis:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - **Synthesis with Other Theories:** Integrating Marxist insights with elements of other sociological theories, such as symbolic interactionism or feminist theory, can provide a more comprehensive understanding of social dynamics. This allows for a more nuanced analysis that considers both structural and agency-based perspectives.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In conclusion, while Marxist notions of class and class struggle offer valuable insights into societal structures and inequalities, critics highlight limitations in their simplification, determinism, and neglect of other social factors. Contemporary adaptations and synthesizing Marxist ideas with other sociological perspectives can enhance the relevance and robustness of class analysis in understanding complex social realities.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><b>The historical context of the rise of Karl Marx in the 19th century was marked by profound economic, social, and political transformations. Several key factors shaped the environment in which Marx developed his ideas:</b></div><div><br /></div><div>1. **Industrial Revolution:**</div><div> The Industrial Revolution, beginning in the late 18th century, accelerated in the 19th century, bringing about a shift from agrarian economies to industrialized societies. This period witnessed advancements in technology, the rise of factories, and the concentration of production in urban areas. The exploitation of labor and harsh working conditions fueled Marx's critique of capitalism.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. **Urbanization and Social Change:**</div><div> Industrialization led to rapid urbanization as people moved from rural areas to cities in search of work. This migration and the growth of urban centers created new social dynamics and class structures. Marx's observations of the urban proletariat's living conditions influenced his theories on class struggle and the role of the working class in societal change.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. **Class Relations and Economic Inequality:**</div><div> The emergence of industrial capitalism resulted in a new class structure, characterized by a growing bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and a burgeoning proletariat (working class). Economic inequality, exploitation of labor, and disparities in wealth became prominent issues, providing fertile ground for Marx's analysis of class struggle.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. **Political Revolutions and Upheavals:**</div><div> The 19th century witnessed various political revolutions and social upheavals, such as the French Revolution and the Revolutions of 1848. These events sparked debates about political and economic systems, contributing to a climate of intellectual ferment. Marx and Engels responded to these developments with the publication of "The Communist Manifesto" in 1848, outlining their revolutionary vision.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. **Philosophical and Intellectual Influences:**</div><div> Marx was exposed to the intellectual currents of his time, including Hegelian philosophy and the works of classical political economists such as Adam Smith and David Ricardo. Hegel's dialectical method and emphasis on historical development influenced Marx's own dialectical materialism, while classical political economy provided a foundation for his economic analysis.</div><div><br /></div><div>6. **Utopian Socialism:**</div><div> Marx engaged with the ideas of utopian socialists like Charles Fourier and Henri de Saint-Simon. While critical of their idealistic visions, Marx drew inspiration from their calls for social change. This engagement contributed to the development of his own materialist and class-based analysis.</div><div><br /></div><div>7. **Reaction to Capitalist Exploitation:**</div><div> The harsh working conditions and exploitation of labor in industrialized societies served as a catalyst for Marx's critique of capitalism. His observations of the detrimental effects of industrial capitalism on the working class informed his theories on alienation, surplus value, and the inherent contradictions of the capitalist system.</div><div><br /></div><div>8. **Intellectual Networks and Collaborations:**</div><div> Marx was part of intellectual and political circles in Europe, interacting with other thinkers and activists. His collaboration with Friedrich Engels greatly influenced the development and dissemination of Marxist ideas. Together, they formed a critical intellectual partnership that contributed to the rise of Marxism.</div><div><br /></div><div>In summary, the historical context of the rise of Karl Marx was characterized by the transformative effects of industrialization, social upheavals, economic inequalities, and intellectual ferment. Marx's ideas emerged as a response to these complex dynamics, providing a theoretical framework that sought to understand and transform the socio-economic structures of his time.</div><div><br /></div><div><h2>Key themes of Marxist Perspective.</h2><div><br /></div><div>The Marxist perspective encompasses several key themes that collectively form the foundation of Marxist analysis. These themes provide insights into social structures, historical development, and the dynamics of class struggle within capitalist societies. Here are some key themes of the Marxist perspective:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. **Historical Materialism:**</div><div> - Emphasizes the role of material conditions, particularly the mode of production, in shaping historical development.</div><div> - Societal progress is linked to changes in the means of production, leading to distinct historical epochs.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. **Mode of Production:**</div><div> - Differentiates between various modes of production, such as feudalism, capitalism, and socialism.</div><div> - Examines how the organization of production influences class relations and societal structures.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. **Class Struggle:**</div><div> - Identifies class struggle as the driving force behind historical change.</div><div> - Focuses on the conflicts between the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class) within capitalist societies.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. **Base and Superstructure:**</div><div> - Proposes the base-superstructure model, where the economic base (mode of production) influences the superstructure (cultural, political, and legal institutions).</div><div> - Changes in the base lead to corresponding changes in the superstructure.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. **Alienation:**</div><div> - Explores the concept of alienation, where individuals feel estranged from their labor and the products of their work.</div><div> - Attributes alienation to the commodification of labor in capitalist societies.</div><div><br /></div><div>6. **Surplus Value and Exploitation:**</div><div> - Analyzes the extraction of surplus value from the labor of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie.</div><div> - Highlights the inherent exploitation within the capitalist production process.</div><div><br /></div><div>7. **Class Consciousness:**</div><div> - Discusses the development of class consciousness among the proletariat.</div><div> - Posits that as the working class becomes aware of its collective interests, it has the potential to mobilize for social change.</div><div><br /></div><div>8. **Cultural Hegemony:**</div><div> - Introduced by Antonio Gramsci, this theme explores how ruling classes maintain dominance through cultural means.</div><div> - Examines how ideologies and cultural norms reinforce the interests of the ruling class.</div><div><br /></div><div>9. **Imperialism and Global Capitalism:**</div><div> - Expands Marxist analysis to consider the global dimensions of capitalism.</div><div> - Examines how imperialism and the global expansion of capitalism influence class relations and power dynamics.</div><div><br /></div><div>10. **Revolution and Socialism:**</div><div> - Advocates for proletarian revolution as a means to overthrow capitalist systems.</div><div> - Envisions the establishment of a classless, socialist society where the means of production are collectively owned.</div><div><br /></div><div>These key themes collectively contribute to the comprehensive nature of the Marxist perspective, offering a framework for understanding the complexities of societal structures, historical development, and the dynamics of class struggle within capitalist societies.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><h2>Describe the cultural features of capitalism. Discuss how capitalism has influenced your personal life and family relations.</h2><div><br /></div><div>**Cultural Features of Capitalism:**</div><div><br /></div><div>1. **Commodification of Culture:**</div><div> - Under capitalism, culture becomes commodified, with artistic expressions, entertainment, and even personal experiences often shaped by market forces.</div><div> - Cultural products, such as music, films, and literature, are produced and consumed as commodities.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. **Consumerism:**</div><div> - Capitalism fosters a consumer-driven culture, where the accumulation of goods and services is often equated with personal success and happiness.</div><div> - Advertising and marketing play a significant role in shaping consumer desires and preferences.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. **Individualism:**</div><div> - Capitalism promotes individualism, emphasizing personal achievement, entrepreneurship, and self-interest.</div><div> - Competition and the pursuit of personal success are central cultural values.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. **Work Ethic:**</div><div> - The capitalist work ethic emphasizes diligence, productivity, and the idea that individual success is tied to one's work.</div><div> - Long working hours and career aspirations are often ingrained in the cultural ethos.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. **Globalization:**</div><div> - Capitalism's global reach fosters a globalized culture where ideas, products, and trends can transcend national boundaries.</div><div> - Cultural homogenization and the spread of Western values are often associated with global capitalism.</div><div><br /></div><div>**Impact on Personal Life and Family Relations:**</div><div><br /></div><div>1. **Consumer Culture:**</div><div> - Capitalism's consumer-driven culture influences personal choices and spending habits. Consumerism can impact how individuals define success and fulfillment.</div><div> - Decisions regarding personal belongings, homes, and lifestyle may be influenced by capitalist ideals.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. **Work-Life Balance:**</div><div> - Capitalism's emphasis on productivity and success can affect work-life balance. Long working hours and the pursuit of career goals may impact family time.</div><div> - Balancing work commitments with family responsibilities becomes a personal challenge under capitalist structures.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. **Financial Pressures:**</div><div> - Capitalism's economic pressures, such as job insecurity and the need for financial stability, can impact family relations.</div><div> - Financial stressors may influence decision-making within families and contribute to interpersonal tensions.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. **Individual Aspirations:**</div><div> - The emphasis on individual success within capitalism can influence personal aspirations and the pursuit of individual goals.</div><div> - Conflicts may arise if individual career pursuits clash with family expectations or priorities.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. **Cultural Influences:**</div><div> - Capitalism's cultural influence, seen in media, advertising, and societal expectations, shapes personal values and norms.</div><div> - Family dynamics may be influenced by cultural narratives around success, beauty, and lifestyle propagated by capitalist-driven media.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's important to note that the impact of capitalism on personal life and family relations can vary widely based on individual circumstances, societal context, and personal values. While capitalism shapes cultural features and influences aspects of personal life, individuals and families also navigate and negotiate these influences in unique ways.</div></div><div><br /></div></div>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-60164411926667261772024-01-20T23:57:00.000-08:002024-01-20T23:57:44.864-08:00 Marxist Perspective<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> Marxist Perspective</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. **Introduction to Marxism:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marxist sociology, rooted in the ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, offers a comprehensive lens through which to understand societal structures. It focuses on the relationship between economic structures and social dynamics.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. **Economic Determinism:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> At the core of Marxism is economic determinism, the belief that economic factors shape the broader aspects of society. Marx argued that the means of production and distribution influence social relations and institutions.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.collidu.com/media/catalog/product/img/c/8/c8d68bf30aeb2cfedcdad9400c78e3d9c6dad53b5d246828eb9977f7db5881a3/marxist-theory-slide3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="360" src="https://www.collidu.com/media/catalog/product/img/c/8/c8d68bf30aeb2cfedcdad9400c78e3d9c6dad53b5d246828eb9977f7db5881a3/marxist-theory-slide3.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. **Class Struggle:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Central to Marxist thought is the concept of class struggle. Marx identified the proletariat (working class) and bourgeoisie (capitalist class) as the primary conflicting classes, engaged in a perpetual struggle for control and resources.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. **Base and Superstructure:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marx introduced the idea of the base and superstructure. The economic base, comprising production relations, influences the superstructure—cultural, political, and legal institutions. Changes in the base eventually lead to transformations in the superstructure.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. **Alienation:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marxist theory explores the notion of alienation, where individuals experience a sense of detachment and estrangement from their labor due to capitalist production processes. Alienation extends beyond work to encompass social relationships.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. **Historical Materialism:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Historical materialism is a key Marxist concept that posits social development is driven by changes in material conditions. Societal progress is linked to shifts in modes of production and class relations throughout history.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">7. **Cultural Hegemony:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Antonio Gramsci, a Marxist theorist, introduced the concept of cultural hegemony. This suggests that the ruling class maintains dominance not only through economic power but also by influencing and controlling cultural norms and values.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. **Commodification of Culture:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Within the Marxist perspective, culture is often viewed as commodified, subject to market forces. Artistic expression, media, and other cultural forms can be shaped by capitalist interests, impacting both production and consumption.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">9. **Resistance and Revolution:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marxists believe that the working class has the potential to resist exploitation and, ultimately, to instigate a revolutionary transformation. The goal is to replace the capitalist system with a classless, socialist society.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">10. **Contemporary Relevance:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> The Marxist perspective remains influential in contemporary sociology. Scholars continue to apply Marxist analyses to understand issues of inequality, exploitation, and power dynamics in various societal contexts.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">What is Marxist Perspective? Discuss key features of this perspective. Describe with appropriate examples. </h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Marxist perspective, rooted in the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, is a sociological approach that analyzes society through the lens of class struggle and economic structures. Here are some key features of the Marxist perspective:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. **Economic Determinism:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marxist theory contends that economic factors play a primary role in shaping society. The mode of production, means of distribution, and ownership of resources determine social relations and institutions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> *Example:* In a capitalist society, where the means of production are owned privately, the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) controls the economy, influencing social structures and power dynamics.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. **Class Struggle:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marx identified class struggle as a driving force in history. The conflict between the bourgeoisie (owners of the means of production) and the proletariat (working class) is central, with each class vying for control and influencing societal changes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> *Example:* Labor strikes or workers' movements demanding better wages and working conditions represent instances of class struggle within a capitalist framework.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. **Base and Superstructure:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> The base-superstructure model suggests that the economic base, including production relations, influences the superstructure—cultural, political, and legal institutions. Changes in the base lead to corresponding changes in the superstructure.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> *Example:* The shift from feudalism to capitalism brought about changes in laws, political systems, and cultural norms to accommodate the new economic structure.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. **Alienation:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marx discussed alienation, wherein individuals feel disconnected from their labor and the products of their work in a capitalist society. This concept extends to a sense of estrangement in social relationships.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> *Example:* Factory workers performing repetitive tasks may experience alienation as they have little control over their work and may not see the final product of their efforts.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. **Historical Materialism:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Historical materialism asserts that historical development is driven by changes in material conditions, specifically the means of production and class relations.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> *Example:* The transition from agrarian societies to industrialized nations exemplifies historical materialism, as changes in technology and production methods reshape social structures.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. **Cultural Hegemony:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Developed by Antonio Gramsci, cultural hegemony refers to the dominance of a ruling class in shaping cultural norms, values, and beliefs to maintain social control.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> *Example:* Media representations that reinforce the interests of the dominant class contribute to cultural hegemony by influencing public perceptions and attitudes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">7. **Commodification of Culture:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marxist analysis often emphasizes how culture, including art and media, becomes commodified and subject to market forces in a capitalist society.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> *Example:* Popular music, films, or artworks are produced not only for artistic expression but also as commodities for consumption, reflecting capitalist values.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">8. **Resistance and Revolution:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marxists believe that the working class has the potential to resist exploitation and, ultimately, to instigate a revolutionary transformation, leading to a classless, socialist society.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> *Example:* Social movements advocating for workers' rights or calls for systemic change can be seen as expressions of resistance within a Marxist framework.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">These key features illustrate the foundational aspects of the Marxist perspective, providing a framework for understanding social structures, conflicts, and transformations.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Historical specificity is the hallmark of Marxist Perspective. Explain. </h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Historical specificity is a fundamental characteristic of the Marxist perspective, emphasizing that social phenomena and developments are deeply rooted in their historical context. This concept implies that the dynamics of society, including economic structures, class relations, and cultural expressions, cannot be fully comprehended without considering the specific historical conditions in which they arise.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**1. Mode of Production:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marxist analysis asserts that each historical period is characterized by a specific mode of production, which encompasses the way society organizes and carries out economic activities. For example, feudalism, capitalism, and socialism represent distinct historical modes of production.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**2. Class Relations:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> The Marxist perspective contends that the nature of class relations is intricately tied to the prevailing mode of production in a given historical epoch. The struggles between different classes, such as the bourgeoisie and the proletariat in capitalism, are shaped by the economic system of the time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**3. Social Structures:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Institutions and structures within a society, including legal, political, and cultural frameworks, are seen as products of the historical context and the prevailing mode of production. These structures serve to maintain and reproduce the existing social order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**4. Evolutionary View of History:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marxism adopts an evolutionary view of history, wherein societies progress through distinct stages. Each stage represents a particular set of productive forces, class relations, and social structures. Historical specificity is crucial to understanding how these stages unfold and transition into one another.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**5. Change Over Time:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> The Marxist perspective recognizes that social relations and structures are not static but evolve over time. Historical specificity acknowledges that the dynamics of a feudal society, for instance, differ significantly from those of an industrial capitalist society.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**6. Economic Base and Superstructure:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> The relationship between the economic base (mode of production) and the superstructure (cultural, political, and legal institutions) is contingent on the historical context. Changes in the economic base lead to corresponding transformations in the superstructure, illustrating the historical specificity of this relationship.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Example:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Consider the transition from feudalism to capitalism in medieval Europe. Feudalism was characterized by agrarian economies, hierarchical social structures, and a land-based aristocracy. The emergence of capitalism brought about changes in economic relations, with the rise of industrialization, wage labor, and the bourgeoisie. This historical shift had profound implications for social structures, class dynamics, and cultural expressions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In summary, the hallmark of the Marxist perspective is its insistence on understanding social phenomena within their specific historical contexts. This historical specificity provides a nuanced and dynamic framework for analyzing the evolution of societies, recognizing that different historical periods give rise to distinct social structures and relations.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">What are the main intellectual ideas that influenced Marx's work. Illustrate.</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Karl Marx's intellectual development was influenced by various philosophical, economic, and sociological ideas that shaped his own theories. Here are some of the main intellectual ideas that influenced Marx's work:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. **Hegelian Dialectics:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marx was initially exposed to Hegelian philosophy, particularly Hegel's dialectical method. Hegelian dialectics involves the idea of contradictions and conflicts leading to the development of new ideas and societal changes. Marx adapted this dialectical approach to develop his own materialist dialectics, emphasizing the role of economic contradictions in driving historical change.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. **Classical Political Economy:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marx engaged deeply with classical political economists such as Adam Smith and David Ricardo. He built upon their analyses of capitalism, particularly the labor theory of value. Marx's understanding of surplus value, exploitation, and the role of labor in the production process was influenced by these classical economists.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. **Materialism:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marx adopted a materialist perspective, emphasizing the significance of material conditions and economic relations in shaping society. This materialist outlook, in contrast to idealism, became a foundational element in Marxist theory, influencing how Marx analyzed historical and social phenomena.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. **Feuerbach's Critique of Religion:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Ludwig Feuerbach's critique of religion as an expression of human alienation had a profound impact on Marx. Feuerbach argued that religious beliefs were projections of human desires and alienation from one's own essence. Marx extended this critique to a broader analysis of alienation in capitalist societies, exploring how economic structures contribute to human estrangement.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. **French Socialism and Utopian Socialists:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Marx engaged with various French socialist and utopian thinkers, such as Charles Fourier and Henri de Saint-Simon. While critical of their idealistic visions, Marx learned from their emphasis on social change and the critique of existing social relations. He incorporated elements of their ideas into his own materialist and class-based analysis.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. **The Communist Manifesto (1848):**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Co-authored by Marx and Engels, "The Communist Manifesto" encapsulates many of the intellectual influences on Marx's work. It draws on historical materialism, Hegelian dialectics, and the call for proletarian revolution. The Manifesto provides a concise synthesis of Marxist thought and serves as a programmatic document for the Communist movement.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Illustration:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> An example of these influences can be seen in Marx's critique of capitalism. His analysis of alienation reflects Feuerbach's ideas, the labor theory of value is grounded in classical political economy, and the call for a proletarian revolution is influenced by both French socialist thought and Hegelian dialectics. In synthesizing these intellectual currents, Marx developed a comprehensive framework for understanding and critiquing capitalist societies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In essence, Marx's work is a synthesis of diverse intellectual currents, combining Hegelian dialectics, classical political economy, materialism, and socialist critiques to create a distinctive and influential theory of historical materialism and capitalism.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><h2>Discuss the intellectual and social context of the rise of Karl Marx. </h2><div><br /></div><div>The rise of Karl Marx in the 19th century was situated in a complex intellectual and social context marked by significant transformations in philosophy, economics, and society. Here's a discussion of the intellectual and social context that influenced the emergence of Marx's ideas:</div><div><br /></div><div>**Intellectual Context:**</div><div><br /></div><div>1. **Hegelian Philosophy:**</div><div> Marx's intellectual journey began with exposure to Hegelian philosophy. Hegel's dialectical method, which emphasized contradictions leading to historical development, influenced Marx's own dialectical materialism. Marx, however, shifted the focus from idealism to materialism, grounding his analysis in economic and material conditions.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. **Classical Political Economy:**</div><div> The classical political economists, including Adam Smith and David Ricardo, played a crucial role in shaping Marx's economic thought. He engaged deeply with their analyses of capitalism, especially the labor theory of value. Marx built upon and critiqued classical economic theories, offering his own insights into the workings of capitalist economies.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. **Materialism and Feuerbach:**</div><div> Marx was influenced by Ludwig Feuerbach's materialist critique of religion. Feuerbach argued that religious beliefs were projections of human desires and alienation. Marx extended this materialist perspective beyond religion, incorporating it into his analysis of the material conditions and economic relations that shape society.</div><div><br /></div><div>**Social Context:**</div><div><br /></div><div>1. **Industrial Revolution:**</div><div> The 19th century witnessed the rapid industrialization of Europe. This shift from agrarian economies to industrialized societies brought about profound changes in the mode of production, labor relations, and social structures. Marx's observations of the harsh conditions and exploitation of industrial workers fueled his critiques of capitalism.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. **Rise of the Proletariat:**</div><div> The Industrial Revolution led to the rise of a new social class – the proletariat or working class. Marx recognized the potential power of this class, shaped by its alienation and exploitation in capitalist systems. His focus on class struggle emerged from the changing social dynamics brought about by industrialization.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. **Social and Political Upheavals:**</div><div> The 19th century was marked by various social and political upheavals, including the Revolutions of 1848. These events fueled debates on political and economic systems. Marx and Engels responded to these developments by co-authoring "The Communist Manifesto" in 1848, outlining their vision for revolutionary change.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. **Utopian Socialism:**</div><div> Marx engaged with utopian socialist thinkers like Charles Fourier and Henri de Saint-Simon. While critical of their idealistic visions, he drew inspiration from their calls for social change. Marx sought to ground socialism in a scientific analysis of historical materialism, differentiating his approach from the utopian socialists.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. **Intellectual Networks:**</div><div> Marx was part of intellectual and political circles in Europe, interacting with other thinkers and activists. He collaborated with Friedrich Engels, and their intellectual partnership greatly influenced the development and dissemination of Marxist ideas.</div><div><br /></div><div>The confluence of these intellectual and social factors shaped the rise of Karl Marx and the development of Marxist theory. His ideas provided a critical framework for understanding the socio-economic transformations of the time and continue to be influential in analyses of capitalism and class struggle.</div><div><br /></div><div><h2>How do you justify that historical specificity is the hallmark of Marxist Perspective.</h2><div><br /></div><div>The justification for historical specificity as the hallmark of the Marxist perspective lies in the foundational principles of Marxist theory and its emphasis on understanding social phenomena within their specific historical contexts. Several key aspects support this justification:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. **Historical Materialism:**</div><div> Historical specificity is integral to historical materialism, a core concept in Marxist theory. Marx argued that the development of society is driven by changes in the material conditions of production and the resulting class struggles. Each historical period is characterized by distinct economic structures and class relations, emphasizing the importance of understanding specific historical contexts.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. **Mode of Production:**</div><div> The Marxist perspective asserts that the mode of production defines a society's fundamental economic structure. Different historical epochs are marked by specific modes of production, such as feudalism, capitalism, or socialism. Analyzing these modes of production within their historical contexts is crucial for understanding the dynamics of each society.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. **Evolutionary View of History:**</div><div> Marxists hold an evolutionary view of history, suggesting that societies progress through distinct stages. Each stage is marked by specific social relations, economic systems, and cultural expressions. This evolution underscores the historical specificity of social structures and the need to consider each stage within its unique context.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. **Base and Superstructure Relationship:**</div><div> According to Marx, the economic base (mode of production) shapes the superstructure (cultural, political, and legal institutions) of a society. Changes in the economic base lead to corresponding transformations in the superstructure. This interrelation is inherently tied to the historical specificity of each society's economic and cultural development.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. **Class Struggle in Context:**</div><div> The Marxist perspective places a significant emphasis on class struggle as a motor force of historical change. The nature of class struggle is intricately connected to the specific historical conditions, economic systems, and class relations prevalent in a given society.</div><div><br /></div><div>6. **Examples from Marx's Work:**</div><div> In Marx's own analyses, such as his examination of the transition from feudalism to capitalism, he highlighted the specific historical circumstances that influenced the emergence of capitalism. The unique features of each socio-economic formation are central to understanding the trajectory of societies.</div><div><br /></div><div>7. **Adaptation to Changing Contexts:**</div><div> Marxist theorists have adapted the framework to analyze and understand various historical contexts, from early capitalism to contemporary globalized capitalism. The ongoing relevance of Marxist analysis underscores its ability to adapt while maintaining a focus on the historical specificity of each era.</div><div><br /></div><div>In summary, the hallmark of the Marxist perspective is justified by its insistence on considering the specific historical conditions, economic structures, and class relations that shape a society. Historical specificity provides a nuanced understanding of social phenomena, emphasizing the dynamic evolution of societies through different historical epochs.</div></div><div><br /></div></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-19116641466065310012024-01-09T01:05:00.000-08:002024-01-09T01:05:56.883-08:00 How do pain killers relieve pain immediately?<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> How do pain killers relieve pain immediately?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Pain killer. The name is enough. Its job is to remove pain. Whether it is due to injuries or other diseases, if there is any kind of pain in the body, we take 'pain killer' to relieve it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Commonly understood pain killers are called 'non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs'. It is used for temporary relief from various pains.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2011/09/22/ibuprofen-b251e81483dafb48fedd15498eb3022de13b1728-s1100-c50.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="564" data-original-width="752" height="480" src="https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2011/09/22/ibuprofen-b251e81483dafb48fedd15498eb3022de13b1728-s1100-c50.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Pain killers mainly contain three ingredients, which reduce swelling, reduce pain and reduce fever. Some examples of pain killers are Cetamol, Flexon, Brufin and Nims.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There is also an experience of pain relief with pain killer food. What is in the pain killer, which reduces the pain in a short time? Does it have any side effects or not?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Why does it hurt us?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Why does our body hurt when we are injured or sick?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When we are injured, the body begins to supply more blood to the injured area. This blood also contains white blood cells, which are involved in wound healing. Along with these white blood cells, many important chemicals also reach the injured area. The main chemical among them is prostaglandin. This chemical causes pain and irritation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How do pain killers reduce pain?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If the chemical called prostaglandin is not allowed to be produced, we do not feel pain. Pain killers do the same thing. That is, pain killers such as paracetamol or Flexon do not allow this chemical to be produced in the body. When painkillers are ingested, they slowly enter the bloodstream and reach the injured area and brain. In both places it inhibits the production of prostaglandin chemicals to reduce pain, so that the brain signals to us that there is no pain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In what situation should you take pain killers?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When we feel hurt, signals from our body go directly to the brain, resulting in the message that we are in pain. Because we feel that pain, we start looking for its solution. That is, we start to understand why it hurts, how to heal it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It simply means that pain is a sign. It means that there is something wrong in the body.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Some people don't take pain killers in case of pain. They think, 'Tolerating pain is good, taking pain killers is bad.' But enduring pain causes more physical and mental pain. If there is swelling due to repeated injuries, it is appropriate to take pain killers to reduce the swelling problem. If the pain is severe, you should take medicine to reduce it. Pain killers can also be taken to reduce fever.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Every drug has both advantages and disadvantages. In this case, pain killers also have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, pain killers should only be taken on the advice of a specialist who knows which pain killer is more beneficial for what kind of pain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Body muscle pain, nerve pain or pain due to an injury. First you need to understand what kind of pain it is. No single pain killer works for all types of pain. There are different types of pain killers made for every type of pain. Therefore, it is important to be aware of which pain killer to take for which pain and which pain to not take.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also a pain killer for chronic pain</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Depending on the type of pain, duration, potential benefits and risks of the drug, the pain reliever should be chosen. Most pain killers are effective for pain. Such pain killers are less effective for sprained ankles, pinched nerves or pain caused by various diseases.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The patient is treated with 'platelet rich plasma' vaccine for joint pain. Platelet-rich plasma can be produced from a person's own blood. In particular, it is a type of blood cell (platelet). Platelet-rich plasma is a 'growth factor' that helps to regenerate when injured, thus helping to heal the injured area. It also helps to heal damaged ligaments, muscles, bones and joints.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If back pain is due to pinched nerve, then treatment should be sought according to the cause. In such a case, which one should be given 'steroid pain killer' or 'local anesthesia' to reduce the pain, or surgery to open the ruptured vein and then physiotherapy.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Things to keep in mind while taking pain killers</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In all kinds of pain, the habit of going to the drug store and taking pain killers on your own without the advice of a doctor can cause various health problems. Overuse of pain killers usually leads to gastritis. Taking pain killers for a long time can cause kidney problems and heart problems. Therefore, pain killers should be taken only on the advice of a doctor after finding out the cause of the pain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When taking pain killers, you should also pay attention to what time you take them. If we are taking pain killers that should be taken three times a day, we should take them 8 hours apart as much as possible. By doing so, it works effectively. Since the consumption of pain killers is generally more likely to cause gastritis, it is better to eat some food before taking pain killers.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-5270117227881343662024-01-09T01:02:00.000-08:002024-01-09T01:02:23.618-08:00 If a child has a brain tumor, what are the symptoms?<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> If a child has a brain tumor, what are the symptoms?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I wish that children would not get 'brain tumor'. Because after having a brain tumor, the risk is very high for them. One is that the treatment is not easy, the other is less chance of recovery.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have a complaint to God, why send a child with such a tumor at birth?</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/-/media/kcms/gbs/patient-consumer/images/2019/01/11/10/47/medulloblastoma-8col-3802786-003-0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="510" data-original-width="632" height="516" src="https://www.mayoclinic.org/-/media/kcms/gbs/patient-consumer/images/2019/01/11/10/47/medulloblastoma-8col-3802786-003-0.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, contrary to our wishes, there are many cases of tumor in children. Especially this problem has come from birth. Why is this happening? It cannot be answered exactly. Because there have been countless researches on cancer so far. However, such a great achievement has not been achieved.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Usually, the most common cause of tumor is a malfunction of Jin. Why is gin bad? The exact reason for this has not been discovered. However, there is a problem when Jin does not develop as it should in general. Gin also has its own 'coding'. Sometimes abnormal cells develop due to mismatched coding. The same cell can grow and become a tumor. And, it can take the form of cancer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Another thing is that it is said that such a disease is passed on to one's generation by inheritance. But, if that is the case, one person has four children. Only four people do not have tumors. Maybe in one person. Why not the other three?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There is no single concrete reason or answer for this tumor to develop and become cancer. Various things may have influenced it. First a tumor was visible. Now different sub-types (sub-types) of the same started appearing. Some are cured by the same treatment, some are not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Increased risk of tumors in children</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A child's brain tumor is more risky than an adult's. There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, the child cannot express what is happening to him. The child does not say that the head is aching, the eyes are getting weak, and the hearing ability is decreasing.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If there is a child under the age of one year, the speech will not come at all. Other children also do not get the melomeso to express the bad changes that are happening in their body. That is why when they are brought to the hospital, the problem becomes complicated. The tumor has grown.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Small head, big tumor. Complex treatment, weak body. It is difficult for the child's body to tolerate tumor surgery. Again, what has been seen so far is that the tumor on the child's head is in a very awkward place. Basically three types of tumors are seen in them, which are very bad tumors.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Now the tumor is surgically removed. However, if cancer has already occurred, further treatment is uncomfortable. It is difficult to give them chemotherapy, even radiotherapy.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Are there any symptoms of brain tumor in children?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">All diseases have symptoms, but how many are known, and how many are not known. Similarly, some symptoms are compatible with other diseases. So the symptoms can sometimes be confusing.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If there is any problem in the brain or the brain, the child cannot hold its head up. We keep the head upright on the strength of the neck and turn it around. However, if there is a problem in the brain, the head can be tilted. Slowly the throat can't take it. Children become weak and small.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Likewise, the child's head may grow. We don't pay much attention to how a small child's head is growing. If it is growing unnaturally, there may be a problem.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, another clear symptom is that the baby's palate is open when it is small. It is sticky or flexible. It should be covered later. Generally, the palate should start covering when the baby is three months old, and the rostrum should be completely covered by one-and-a-half years. If an infant's palate does not cover or remains open, it should be suspected that they have a head problem. Initiatives should be taken for testing and treatment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is important for parents to be aware of whether their child is normal or not. Why are they crying? Why are they not accepting to eat milk? Why are they not seen as normal?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">What is the treatment?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Abroad, especially in developed countries, the health of the baby is checked during pregnancy. It is also seen in the mother's womb whether there is a tumor or not. If there is a tumor, what kind is it? The first or second stage tumors can be treated with surgery. Therefore, the baby's tumor is surgically removed while remaining in the mother's womb. However, if it has reached the third and fourth stage, the doctor gives advice to the parents to avoid giving birth to the baby.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, we do not have such technology or system. Therefore, some diseases are detected only after birth. That too only after the symptoms started to appear. By the time symptoms begin to appear, treatment may be too late.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Let's say we have a brain tumor in an infant or child, the treatment is very uncomfortable and risky. It cannot be said that good results will come even after treatment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then what to do to prevent such a problem in the child? There is no exact answer to this either. We have also mentioned above that, despite many research studies, the root cause of cancer has not been found. However, risk factors can be reduced.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For example, if the mother smokes cigarettes, drinks alcohol, or takes drugs during pregnancy, it seems that such problems are more common in their children. So you should stay away from these things as much as possible during pregnancy. Also, is the baby or child growing naturally, growing or not? Parents should take careful care of this. Any abnormal situation in the child should be immediately alerted.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-81433641177708070062024-01-09T00:59:00.000-08:002024-01-09T00:59:25.228-08:00 Surgery or physiotherapy for vein compression?<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> Surgery or physiotherapy for vein compression?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Asmita Dulal from Kathmandu was suffering from back pain for a long time. She was ignoring it, thinking it was normal pain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">One day suddenly the pain started to be unbearable. How long did the back pain become, it became impossible to get up and sit down. She rushed to Veer Hospital. The doctor advised him to do an MRI of the back. From the MRI, it was found that the vein in his back was torn. The doctor said - you should have surgery immediately.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://keyphysio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/compression-stockings-1202-1280x500-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="312" data-original-width="800" height="250" src="https://keyphysio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/compression-stockings-1202-1280x500-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">At the mention of surgery (operation), she hiccupped. She was afraid that the surgery would cause other problems.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the meantime, someone told him, 'You should not do surgery when the vein is torn. It can also be cured by physiotherapy. She went to a natural hospital for therapy. She underwent a few weeks of therapy. During the therapy, the pain decreased.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">But with the passage of time, his problem became there. Finally, she reached a state of mind where she had to undergo surgery.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, the naive officer of Nuwakot was suffering from lower back and one leg pain from time to time. As the pain worsened, he went to Green City Hospital for treatment. His back vein was slightly compressed. The doctor gave him pain relievers and advised him to exercise daily.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Bhola took the medicine given by the doctor but did not exercise. A few weeks after the medication ran out, his problem started to worsen again. When the pain started increasing, he went to the doctor again. The doctor advised him to do physiotherapy. As per the doctor's advice, he underwent physiotherapy and also changed his lifestyle and his problem gradually got better.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Orthopedic and neurologist Dr. Unhealthy lifestyle, obesity, spending too much time on mobile phones and people who don't exercise are becoming common problems. Saroj Kumar Suwal says. "This problem can occur in any part of the body from the head to the feet, of which the spinal cord is the most common," he says.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">'The spinal cord is compressed for a long time, the blood circulation is not good and the blood starts to stop in one place due to the pressure. Due to which the vein is blocked. The veins become swollen and start to hurt a lot," he says.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Saroj Kumar Suwal</p><p style="text-align: justify;">People who do heavy work or lift heavy objects can also have problems with pinched veins. Apart from that, if there is a serious type of bone loss problem, if there is a broken limb, if there is a problem with bone movement and aging, it can cause the problem of vein rupture. In addition, due to lifestyle, this problem can also occur when working in one place for a long time. Suwal explains.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Neurosurgeon Dr. Dr. Dr. Rupesh Raut says.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How is the vein torn?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are many bones in the spine in the human body. Between each bone is a circular disc. The disk is a particularly thick liquid. Due to an accident or if there is a problem with moving the bone, the disc comes out from between the two bones and tears the nerve. Dr. which we call in common parlance, the veins are torn. Suwal explains.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This problem is more common in the age group of 20 to 40 years. Mainly back and neck veins are more common," he says.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Treatment varies according to the patient's condition</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the problem of pinched vein, the treatment method is different depending on the condition of the patient. Treatment is usually through medication and physiotherapy. But if the patient's condition is serious, Dr. should be treated through surgery. Suwal explains.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has three stages. In the first and second stages, rest, medicine and physiotherapy are the only cures. The third stage is the situation where the problem has become a bit chronic. In this condition, it is difficult for the patient to move.' He says, 'If there is a long-term problem with the nerves, surgery is required. It will be cured after surgery. It is known from MRI that the vein has been torn.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Even after reaching the third stage, the veins may not function permanently during helchectomy. He said that there could be a possibility of not moving the legs forever, paralysis.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is what a neurosurgeon says</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Neurosurgeon Dr. According to Rupesh Raut, the problem of back pain has become common these days. According to the world data, the most common reason for OPD visits is due to cold, followed by back pain. "Many patients think that a vein has ruptured when they have back pain," he says, "There are various reasons for back pain. In which the joints of the spine are affected, the bones are broken and back pain can also occur. Among the patients who come to the hospital with back pain, only 5 percent have the problem of pinched veins.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The bones of our spine are like blocks, stacked one on top of the other. Between the two blocks is a bone-like element made of thick fluid called a 'disc'. Raut says that when this brittle bone gets old or there is a major injury in the spine, it starts to come out of its place and tear the nearby nerves. He says, "In the part of our body where the nerve goes, the leg pain, tingling, and not moving properly appear in the same direction," he says.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Rupeshjung Raut</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In such a case, you should consult a doctor about how to treat it. Medicine, exercise, therapy and surgery etc </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is treated in different ways. Dr. Raut says, '90 percent of varicose vein problems are caused by medication, lifestyle changes and therapy. The remaining 10 percent should be operated only for those with serious problems.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It cannot be said with a guarantee that any treatment will cure the patient 100%. Raut says. "After surgery, the patient does not recover 100 percent," he said, "even during surgery, various complications can occur." If the vein is torn due to the disc, it needs to be removed, which is very close to the vein. Removing the disc in this way can sometimes lead to vein injuries, blood clots at the surgery site, etc.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Four percent of those who have undergone surgery may have this problem again within 10 years. Emergency surgery may also be necessary.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">One of the emergency conditions of vein rupture is 'Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES)'. Cauda equina syndrome is a rare but serious condition in which nerve roots along the spinal cord are compressed and damaged. Raut says. In this case, the patient should be operated as soon as possible within 24 to 48 hours. It is better to do the surgery within eight hours for better results,” he says.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">He said that if this problem occurs, symptoms such as lower back pain, pain in one or both legs, swelling in the lower part of the waist, and difficulty in stopping urination will appear.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Physiotherapist talk</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Physiotherapy is an effective treatment method for pinched nerves. In physiotherapy, ultrasonic therapy, TENS, IFT are used. Physiotherapist Sapna Koju says that these therapies play an important role in reducing pain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">She says, 'Exercises during physiotherapy are particularly effective in cases of torn veins. It helps to strengthen the muscles and restore the disc to its original condition.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Physiotherapist Sapna Koju</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The treatment of the herniated disc also depends on how many places the vein has been torn and how much part of the vein has been torn. If the disc is only half protruded or the nerve is only half pinched, it can be cured by physiotherapy. Which falls under the first and second phase, says Koju.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">She says, 'If the disc has completely protruded, it must be surgically inserted or removed. Which is the third and fourth stage. In other words, if less than 60 percent of the disc has come out, it can be treated with physiotherapy, and for more than that, surgery is the only option.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">During the first and second phase of physiotherapy treatment, the patient is given an injection to reduce the pain. Similarly, patients are treated by machines. Koju explains that the physiotherapist uses a pain control machine for that.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The patient can also be treated by creating negative pressure in the place where the vein is torn through certain exercises. By applying more pressure elsewhere during the treatment, the indirect pressure falls on the problem area,'' she says, 'as a result, the liquid comes out and helps to bring in the one in the middle.'</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ways to avoid varicose veins</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Do not lift heavy weights, do not work sitting in one place for long periods of time, keep your spine straight while sitting, do not use high pillows, do not strain your neck, go to the gym and lift less weight, do not bend over for long periods of time and do regular exercise. And neurologist Dr. Suwal explains.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-86781502139760222872024-01-09T00:54:00.000-08:002024-01-09T00:54:56.677-08:00 What are the medicinal properties of garlic?<h2 style="text-align: left;"> What are the medicinal properties of garlic?</h2><p><br /></p><p>There is no need to say much about the taste of garlic. It tastes bitter when eaten raw. When it is mixed with pulses, vegetables, the taste changes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, garlic is used in Nepali cuisine for flavor. However, it is also considered full of medicinal properties. That is why garlic has been used as medicine since ancient times. Garlic is called 'Rason' in Sanskrit. Because out of the 6 juices on earth (bitter, bitter, salty, tart, sour, sweet), garlic has five juices. Garlic does not have only 'sour' juice.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://cms.groupeditors.com/img/ghnw20170224-112146-433.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="426" src="https://cms.groupeditors.com/img/ghnw20170224-112146-433.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>It is called 'Rasone' because 'Ras Un' means one less juice. In Ayurveda, garlic is classified as a pain reliever.</p><p><br /></p><p>History of Garlic</p><p><br /></p><p>Garlic has been used for thousands of years in China and Egypt. In 1325 BC, garlic was placed in the tomb of the Egyptian emperor Tutankhamun to preserve the body. At that time, the inhabitants of Egypt used to put garlic in the grave after someone's death. It was believed that when a person reaches the next world after death, he should not be afflicted with diseases.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly, the soldiers going on a long journey also used to carry garlic, so that if there was any problem, they could use it as a medicine.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the migration of people, the use of garlic became widespread. It is mentioned in history that garlic has entered China and India in the sixth century BC. At that time it was used only for treatment. After that, garlic was gradually used not only in treatment but also in daily life.</p><p><br /></p><p>The importance of garlic is also mentioned in mythology. According to the story, when Lord Indra took the nectar and brought it to the earth, garlic was born from the drops of nectar that fell.</p><p><br /></p><p>What can be inferred from these stories is that garlic has been used as a medicinal plant for centuries.</p><p><br /></p><p>What happens in garlic?</p><p><br /></p><p>According to medical research, a compound called allicin is mainly found in raw garlic. This is the same element, which has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Also, garlic is rich in salts like phosphorus, zinc, potassium and magnesium. The smell of garlic is pungent because it contains sulphur.</p><p><br /></p><p>What does garlic do?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, garlic is still being used in pulses and vegetables, which may have direct-indirect benefits. Apart from that, eating two to four cloves of garlic on an empty stomach in the morning is beneficial. The 'Allicin' element in garlic helps to protect against various types of infections. It does not allow typhoid, fever, allergy infection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Garlic is also used to reduce pain in the body. Garlic can be placed on the swollen or painful area and massaged with heated oil. Raw garlic contains the antioxidant sulfhydryl substance, which helps in removing toxins from the body.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regular use of garlic removes bad cholesterol accumulated in blood vessels. It reduces the risk of heart attack. Consuming garlic in proper amount reduces the pressure on the blood vessels. Garlic is also considered useful for regulating blood pressure.

According to this biological clock, the way the body works during the day and night is different. The body works in different ways at different times of the 24 hours. The Greek physician Hippocrates understood this long ago.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/img-post-surgery-eating.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="405" data-original-width="720" height="360" src="https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/img-post-surgery-eating.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In traditional Chinese medicine, it is mentioned that the lungs work best from 3 am to 5 am, the heart from 11 am to 1 pm, and the kidneys from 5 pm to 7 pm.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps based on this, new research is being conducted in this direction today. Research by biologist John O'Neill has shown that cells called "fibroblasts" quickly repair tissues damaged by injuries during the day. Fibroblast cells penetrate the skin cells to the site of injury, and help it to heal.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">After evaluating the International Burn Injury Database, Professor O'Neill said in his research, "People who burn at night take 11 days longer to heal compared to patients who burn during the day."</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The biological clock must be understood</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Our body's ability to fight disease also affects our body clock. It is important to have a strong immune system to fight any kind of infection that spreads in the body.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Virologist Rachel Edgar is researching the relationship between the 'body clock' biological clock and viral infections. He has researched the ringworm virus in mice.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to him, this virus is 10 times more active at night and its effect is much less in the morning. This change is probably due to the immune system being less active. The rhythm of the infected cells is also effective in increasing the infection.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Similar results have been observed in seasonal fever. If you take the medicine in the morning rather than in the afternoon, you will get relief sooner. But it is also true that the chances of getting sick during the day are more. The same principle does not apply to different types of infections.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Medicines should be taken at the right time</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Professor Edgar says, 'If it is known at what time the virus is affecting the surrounding cells, it can be prevented from spreading through antiviral therapy. By doing this, the amount of antiviral drugs can also be reduced.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to the World Health Organization, about 250 basic and essential medicines are available in almost all hospitals in the world. But the time to take all of them is different. The effects of these drugs are determined by the body's internal cellular clock. Because of this, the effect of medicine may be less or more. These include painkillers, blood pressure, asthma and cancer medications.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How effective the medicine will be depends on when it is used. This means that if those medicines are not taken at the right time, their effect will be reduced.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For example, if blood pressure medication is taken in the evening instead of in the morning, it is only 60% effective. Another study showed that the effect of radiation therapy was greater in the afternoon than in the morning.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Not everyone's body works the same way</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is not so easy to find out which medicine is more effective at what time and at what time. It is not always possible for the patient to take the medicine at the right time. Also, the mathematics behind the medicine cannot be explained to the patient.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Many times patients take time to recover if they do not take medication on time. Medicines should be taken regularly without skipping a beat. If the medicine is stopped in between, the medicine will not work properly. Patients do not understand this.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Every person's 'body clock' is different. Some people's sleeping, waking up and eating time do not match. Some have the habit of staying up late at night and sleeping late in the morning.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Many people work at night. As a result, the rhythm of their 'body clock' becomes completely different, which also affects their health.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Light, sleep and time</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Our platelets and blood clotting cells grow during the day. Also, adrenaline hormone, which increases the heart rate and constricts the nerves, is also released more during the day.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In some intensive care units or cardiac care units, dim lights are turned on at night, which is good for patients. The time of day and night and the patient's biological clock play an important role in many types of surgery and speedy recovery. Researchers hope to soon develop a circadian pill to cure heart disease, an environment that can be used in the presence or absence of light as needed.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Light, sleep and time are the most important to maintain good health, but not all of us pay attention to these things. From cancer, heart disease to allergy patients, medicine is given when it works best in the body. It helps the patient to recover quickly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-73189935498578072872023-12-22T01:02:00.000-08:002023-12-22T01:02:42.437-08:00 The Sociology of Markets. Neil Fligstein and Luke Dauter.<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> The Sociology of Markets.<br />Neil Fligstein and Luke Dauter.</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Sociology of Markets, as explored by Neil Fligstein and Luke Dauter, delves into the intricate web of social relationships and structures that underlie market dynamics. This theoretical framework offers a profound understanding of how markets operate not merely as economic entities but as social institutions shaped by human interactions, cultural norms, and institutional arrangements.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://assets-global.website-files.com/581110f944272e4a11871c01/616099cf5f940d3b5ba59ccc_6160462891310a03cd45fed4_El%2520Salvador_Credit%2520Steven%2520dosRemedios_Lead1%2520(1).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="360" src="https://assets-global.website-files.com/581110f944272e4a11871c01/616099cf5f940d3b5ba59ccc_6160462891310a03cd45fed4_El%2520Salvador_Credit%2520Steven%2520dosRemedios_Lead1%2520(1).jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">One key aspect emphasized by Fligstein and Dauter is the concept of "socially embedded markets." They argue that markets are not detached from society but are deeply embedded within social structures. In their seminal work, the sociologists highlight how relationships, trust, and social networks play a pivotal role in shaping market outcomes. This perspective challenges traditional economic theories that often treat markets as purely rational and efficient entities divorced from social context.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Furthermore, Fligstein and Dauter introduce the notion of "strategic action fields" to explain the ongoing struggles and negotiations within markets. According to this concept, various actors, including firms, regulatory bodies, and consumers, engage in strategic actions to advance their interests. The authors argue that understanding these action fields is crucial for understanding market dynamics, as it sheds light on the power relations, alliances, and conflicts that define market structures.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In their analysis, Fligstein and Dauter also highlight the role of institutions in shaping market behavior. Institutions, both formal and informal, provide a set of rules and norms that guide economic interactions. The sociologists argue that institutional arrangements influence not only individual behavior but also the overall functioning of markets. This perspective aligns with the broader field of economic sociology, which seeks to integrate sociological insights into the study of economic phenomena.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The authors pay particular attention to the concept of "market as a social structure." They argue that markets are not only arenas for economic exchange but also social structures that shape and are shaped by societal values, norms, and power dynamics. This approach challenges the traditional economic view that sees markets primarily as mechanisms for allocating resources efficiently. Instead, Fligstein and Dauter advocate for a more holistic understanding that considers the social and cultural dimensions of markets.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Another crucial element of their work is the examination of market dynamics in relation to globalization. The increasing interconnectedness of markets on a global scale has profound implications for social structures and relationships. Fligstein and Dauter explore how globalization influences the power dynamics within markets, shapes the role of nation-states, and contributes to the emergence of transnational markets.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In conclusion, the Sociology of Markets, as articulated by Neil Fligstein and Luke Dauter, offers a comprehensive and nuanced perspective on the interplay between markets and society. Their emphasis on socially embedded markets, strategic action fields, and the role of institutions provides a rich framework for understanding the complexities of contemporary market systems. By integrating sociological insights into the analysis of markets, Fligstein and Dauter contribute significantly to a more holistic and interdisciplinary understanding of economic phenomena.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here are key points about "The Sociology of Markets" by Neil Fligstein and Luke Dauter in bullet form:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">- **Socially Embedded Markets:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> -

According to the data released by the Union Health Ministry on Thursday, 594 new cases of Corona have been registered in the country in the last 24 hours. More new cases of corona are coming from states like Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu. After the increase in new cases of Corona in the country, the number of active cases has increased to 2669. The government is also on alert due to the rapidly increasing cases of Corona. Let us tell you that for the past few days, cases of the new variant of Corona, JN.1, are also coming to the fore in the country. This new variant is spreading rapidly in countries like China, America and Singapore.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A case of Corona found in Noida</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A new case of Corona has also been found in Noida (Gautam Budh Nagar), which is adjacent to the capital Delhi, after many months. A 54-year-old man working in a multinational company in Gurugram has been found corona positive. The local health department is now taking the history of the patient. Instructions have been given to test the people who come in contact with the patient. The sample of the corona positive person has been sent to a lab in Delhi for genome sequencing. The local health department has come into alert mode due to the first case of corona in Noida after months.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Guidelines for screening patients with viral and influenza</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The government is working in action mode after a new case of Corona was found in Noida. The order from the government is that the examination of patients with symptoms of viral infection, respiratory tract infection and influenza should be a priority. Patients who have symptoms of the new variant JN.1 should also be screened after their contacts have been taken.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">JN.1 Variant Symptoms - JN.1 Variant Symptoms</p><p style="text-align: justify;">These symptoms are seen in patients infected with JN.1 variant-</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Symptoms of influenza illness</p><p style="text-align: justify;">High fever and headache</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Muscle pain</p><p style="text-align: justify;">sore throat</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Physical weakness</p><p style="text-align: justify;">runny nose</p><p style="text-align: justify;">sore throat</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gastrointestinal problems</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fatigue and muscle weakness</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The JN.1 variant, which has been spreading in America and China since September this year, is being said to be more dangerous than the previously found variant. This variant is formed after a mutation in the BA.2.86 variant and Pirola's spike protein. Let us tell you that the spike protein is a part of the virus, which attacks human cells. In this new variant, the ability to dodge the immune system is more than the previously found variant.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">These symptoms are seen when infected with the JN.1 variant, warned the former WHO scientist</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">JN.1 Variant Signs and Symptoms: The JN.1 variant is composed of the BA.2.86 variant and a mutation in Pirola's spike protein.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">JN.1 Variant Signs And Symptoms: For the past 3 years, the corona virus epidemic has been a headache for the whole world. In the past few days, the new variant of Corona JN.1 is spreading rapidly all over the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has called the new JN.1 variant of Corona a 'variant of interest'. Cases of JN.1 variant are also increasing in India. Earlier, the JN.1 variant was confirmed in China, Singapore and the US. The symptoms seen in patients infected with this new JN.1 variant of Corona are not recognized at the beginning. This is the reason why patients can be identified after some time after being infected. Experts believe that the infection capacity of this variant is much higher than the previously found variant and if its infection is not controlled, it can infect many people. Let us know in detail in this article the symptoms and prevention of the new JN.1 variant of Corona.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Symptoms and signs of JN.1 variants</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The JN.1 variant, which has been spreading in America and China since September this year, is being said to be more dangerous than the previously found variant.

The risk of mental problems increases." He further said that India is now fully prepared to fight such an infection. In order to avoid infection, special attention should be paid to the immunity of children and the elderly, and masks should be worn in public places.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">358 new cases have come in the last 24 hours - Latest Covid Cases in India</p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to the data released by the Union Health Ministry, 358 new cases of Corona have been registered in India in the last 24 hours. 84 percent of these cases are from Kerala alone. 300 new cases of corona have been found in Kerala during the last 24 hours. Apart from this, 3 patients have died due to corona virus infection in the country in the last 24 hours, these three deaths are in Kerala. After the registration of new cases, the number of active patients of Kovid in the country has increased to 2,669.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Corona's new variant JN.1 has appeared, know how dangerous it is compared to other variants?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Recently a new variant of Corona JN.1 has come out. According to scientists, it can prove to be more contagious than other variants.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The case of Corona has not completely stopped yet, so new variants of Kovid are being seen. Recently, a new variant of Corona, JN.1, has come out, which has increased the concern of scientists. According to scientists, it is more contagious than other variants. Not only this, it can also be harmful to the immune system.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This variant is found in many countries</p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to scientists, it has also been found in England, Iceland and France. This variant was first spotted in Luxembourg on 25 August 2023. However, the good thing is that not a single case of the JN.1 variant has been confirmed in India yet. According to scientists, it is different from JN.1, XBB.1.5 and HV.1 variants. This variant can also trick the immune system. So far 10 mutations have been observed in XBB.1.5 and HV.1. At the same time, 41 changes have been made in the JN.1 variant compared to the XBB.1.5.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Characteristics of the JN.1 variant</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The symptoms of this variant may also be similar to the old variants of Kovid.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Exposure to this variant may cause body fatigue and breathing difficulties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In this situation, along with muscle pain, headache can also occur.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In such a case, along with the problems related to the stomach, the problem of phlegm can also occur.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Exposure to this variant may cause problems with taste or smell.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How important it is to take the vaccine to avoid corona</p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to health experts, it is very important to get vaccinated to avoid this variant of Corona. You can avoid damage to the immune system through the vaccine. Some time ago, the updated vaccines of Corona have also become available in India. After which the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised people to get a new booster dose vaccine to avoid corona infection.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-72970346556927744932023-12-18T23:09:00.000-08:002023-12-18T23:09:54.602-08:00 How safe is it to have sexual intercourse during menstruation?<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> How safe is it to have sexual intercourse during menstruation?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you do not plan to conceive, you should use safe methods while having sex. Because if the menstrual cycle is regular, there is a high chance of pregnancy if you have sex on the 10th to 22nd day of the period. Therefore, it is considered safe to have sex before and for a few days after menstruation, even without the use of any means.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/janani-life/image/upload/v1688968912/blog%20images/sex-during-your-period/Sex_During_Your_Period_nbrkfj.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="426" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/janani-life/image/upload/v1688968912/blog%20images/sex-during-your-period/Sex_During_Your_Period_nbrkfj.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, is it okay to have sex during menstruation or not? This question should be asked in two ways. One is the hygiene of the genitals and the other is the condition of not being pregnant.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The couple is ambivalent about this. But if both partners want to have sex during menstruation, there is no problem. However, during menstruation, the possibility of sexually transmitted diseases is higher than at other times, so temporary means should be used.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">What is the probability of pregnancy?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A woman who has regular periods does not get pregnant if she has sex at that time. But if there is irregular menstruation and a short menstrual cycle, there is a risk of pregnancy in women. For example, a woman who has regular periods may become pregnant if she has intercourse during that period thinking that it is menstruation when she bleeds after a long time. When having sex, one should be sure that the menstrual cycle is not regular.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, if a woman's menstrual cycle is short, i.e. 28 days, ovulation can occur even in seven days. As a result, even if you have sex on the fourth or fifth day of your period, you can still get pregnant. If menstruation happens in 30 days, the ovulation becomes delayed, so even if you maintain intercourse after 6-7 days of menstruation, the chances of pregnancy are less.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Even if regular contraceptive medication is continued during menstruation, there is no chance of getting pregnant. The pill does not stop working whether you are menstruating or not. It is safe to use a condom or birth control pills if you have sex while you are menstruating.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Is there a risk of infection?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Having sex during menstruation increases the risk of sexually transmitted infections. Because viruses live in blood and sexually transmitted diseases can spread through contact with blood. Using a condom during sexual intercourse can reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A woman's body undergoes many changes during menstruation. Various studies have shown that lubrication is not necessary if the relationship is established in that order. Also, by establishing a relationship during this period, the menstrual effect migraines and headaches caused by some women are reduced.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Something to note</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Most women have a disease or infection and if intercourse hurts, it is better not to have intercourse as much as possible. If you have a stomach ache or are physically weak, not having sex can cause more problems. If the woman is ready for sex and the man is also ready to take precautions, then sex can be done. Before starting a relationship, you should start a relationship only if your partner also wants it. If there is bleeding, intercourse should be done only after cleaning. Wash your private parts thoroughly before and after intercourse. If a woman is wearing a tampon during her period, she should remove it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Does green tea really control obesity and blood pressure?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The practice of drinking green tea as a health-enhancing drink is increasing, even in Nepali society. Consumers have been drinking it saying 'for health rather than taste'.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand, manufacturers and sellers have been claiming that green tea is a very beneficial drink. The use of green tea has increased not only in Nepal, but all over the world.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Some drink it as 'to reduce obesity', while others drink it as 'to control blood pressure and diabetes'. Some drink green tea as a 'anti-cancer' drink and some as a 'skin brightening' drink.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Is green tea really beneficial?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">What is the ingredient in green tea, which reduces the risk of cancer from lowering blood pressure, obesity?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There have been different studies on this at the international level. According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, green tea has properties ranging from obesity control to anti-cancer properties. A report by Time magazine mentions that green tea naturally reduces high blood pressure.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Anti-cancer agent</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Green tea contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an antioxidant of the flavonoid family. It prevents damage caused by free radicals in our body. Free radicals are the ones that destroy body cells and increase the risk of cancer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In a report published in The Medical Today, it is claimed that the rates of some cancers are lower in countries that consume green tea. Based on more than 100 studies reviewed in 2020, green tea has been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of cancer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cancer specialist Dr. working in Patan Hospital. Arun Shahi also agrees with this. He says, 'Since it contains abundant anti-oxidants, it fights free radicals and reduces the risk of cancer.' He says that green tea works well to prevent cancer-causing elements from dominating.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Controls blood pressure</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Working in Om Hospital Dr. Kamal Sharma Lamsal says, 'The polyphenols found in it reduce high blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Also, by breaking down the fatty substances accumulated in the blood vessels, it facilitates the functioning of the heart and brain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A study conducted by the British Heart Foundation also found that drinking green tea every day makes the arteries of the heart open and soft. As a result, it reduces the risk of heart attack.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand, according to Forbes Health, there were 9 different studies on this topic in 2016. Analyzing the study, it was found that drinking three cups of green tea daily reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Obesity control</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In a report of Medical News Today, the fact that green tea reduces obesity has been presented. Accordingly, green tea makes the metabolism more effective. Metabolism is the process of converting any food we eat into energy. Green tea contains caffeine and catechins, which help in digesting food.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A review published in 2010 noted that green tea can help control weight. Certain compounds present in green tea break down body fat. What was found in an eight-week study is that if you drink green tea and exercise at the same time, you burn fat faster.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">"Beneficial if you drink it properly": Dietitian Dr. Raju Adhikari</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Green tea is a healthy drink. It has many benefits such as reducing obesity, controlling blood pressure, improving heart and brain function. There have been many studies around the world on how green tea works. And it has been used for centuries.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is a rich source of antioxidants. Due to this property, green tea plays a role from benefiting the heart to reducing the risk of cancer. Apart from that, green tea contains micronutrients like potassium, magnesium, vitamin B-2.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Green tea also acts as an anti-aging agent and maintains the glow in the skin of the body. The amino acid L-theanine found in it produces hormones such as dopamine and serotonin, which keep the brain excited and happy.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There is no doubt that green tea is very beneficial. However, it is not a medicine that has an immediate effect. The effect of green tea is gradual in the body. It benefits those who drink regularly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It also affects the physical condition of the person, lifestyle etc. If you eat right, exercise, green tea will benefit your body more. However, on the contrary, if your lifestyle is bad, green tea will not cure any disease.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There is a saying in Nepali, too much causes damage. The same should be said in the case of green tea. It is best to drink three to four glasses (of medium size) of green tea a day.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Likewise, green tea should not be drunk on an empty stomach. Pregnant women, those with low blood pressure should also not drink green tea. Those who are undergoing treatment for a disease or taking medication should consult a doctor before drinking green tea.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">What is the correct way to drink gin tea?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">How much, how and when to drink green tea determines how effective it is.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">how much to drink</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Drink three or four cups (medium cup) a day.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">What time to drink?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Green tea should not be drunk on an empty stomach, with or after meals. It is best to drink green tea 30 to 45 minutes before and after meals.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How to prepare?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Green tea does not need to be brewed like other teas. Put green tea in a cup and pour hot water over it. Two or three Cover the minutes. Then you can drink green tea.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">What kind of green tea to drink?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are many green teas in the market. It is useful to take open green tea as much as possible. After soaking in water, tea leaves look green again. It is important to understand whether the tea is certified organic or not.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Is turmeric anti-cancer?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Turmeric not only makes vegetables look attractive but it is also beneficial for health. Turmeric is rich in calories, vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus and iron. Various studies have been done on turmeric around the world.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Curcumin is a medicinal substance found in turmeric. It is considered useful and effective for cancer patients. Oncologist Prof. Dr. Vivek Acharya says, 'There is no fact or research that turmeric does not cause cancer, but the curcumin content found in it has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It kills cancer cells in the body and prevents others from growing.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">But curcumin is extracted from powdered turmeric available in the market. It does not matter who eats turmeric or not. Therefore, if possible, curcumin content can be replenished by producing it at home and eating turmeric powder.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is beneficial for health if you take half a teaspoon in the morning or evening or a small teaspoon at a time. Acharya says.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ayurvedic doctor Dr. Puneshwar Keshari says that since turmeric contains antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, and immunomodulation properties in abundance, it protects the cells in the body from infection and increases immunity. It kills cancer cells and prevents them from growing.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Curcumin, the active ingredient found in turmeric, dissolves easily in fats and oils. But it is insoluble in water," Dr. Keshari says, 'Therefore, if turmeric is to be used, it can be mixed with milk like fatty foods. When eaten in this way, the substances found in turmeric are easily absorbed by the body. But if you mix turmeric with water and eat it, it is not as effective as milk.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Turmeric is used both externally and internally. For external use, applying turmeric paste on the skin helps to protect against skin allergies, wounds, sores, warts. Similarly, mixing some herbs with turmeric and applying it on the skin makes the skin soft, smooth and shiny.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When and how much to eat?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Turmeric can be consumed daily in the morning and evening. Because it dissolves in milk, it is very beneficial to put turmeric in milk after eating. It is also called Golden milk. During the corona epidemic, golden milk i.e. turmeric-infused milk was widely used.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to doctors, you can eat up to 12 grams of turmeric in a day. Do not eat more than this. It can cause disadvantages instead of advantages. Two to four grams can be mixed with milk and eaten.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to doctors, research has shown that diabetic patients get good benefits by mixing equal amounts of amla and turmeric powder in milk. Eating 6 grams in the morning and in the evening after eating helps to prevent type 2 diabetes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Under what circumstances should you not eat turmeric?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Ayurvedic doctor, who can sometimes have negative effects with this beneficial turmeric. Keshari says. The use of turmeric is not suitable if you are taking allopathic medicines, i.e. blood thinners. It thins the blood and causes bleeding. Similarly, if you have undergone surgery for any disease, then it is better not to use turmeric. Turmeric should not be used as a medicine by people suffering from hemophilia, i.e. long-term bleeding due to injury.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, if you have other bleeding diseases, you should not consume turmeric. This can lead to complications instead of benefits. Turmeric helps in immunomodulation and increases immunity.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How can you distinguish the purity of turmeric?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Turmeric is considered health promoting for the body. How pure is the turmeric that we are using daily? It also depends on that. Because the turmeric available in the market now has various chemicals or powder mixed in it. Therefore, it is necessary to check whether the turmeric used in the kitchen is pure or not. Ayurvedic doctor Keshari says that the purity of turmeric can be checked at home.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How to check</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Pour clean water in a glass, add the turmeric powder bought from the market and dissolve it and then leave it for a while.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Turmeric is mixed with some powder in a glass of water. Which means that turmeric has been adulterated. If there is no adulteration, it dissolves in water and floats on top. Hydrochloric acid is also used to measure purity. Mix turmeric powder in hydrochloric acid. Mix it well, enough foam will come out. Similarly, if the color of turmeric turns pink or purple, it may be adulterated.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Turmeric used in every dish is not necessarily pure. A chemical called Metanil Yellow is added to the turmeric that is bought from the market and used. While it can also cause a terrible disease like cancer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There has been an experimental study to see if curcumin extract from turmeric is useful for cancer, Dr. Puneshwar Keshari says, 'Until now, no study has been done on cancer patients.'</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is beneficial</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">With the help of turmeric and its main component curcumin, childhood leukemia, i.e. blood cancer, can be prevented. It helps to detoxify the liver, which reduces the risk of cirrhosis and jaundice. It keeps all parts of the body healthy and free from toxins.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It reduces factors like digestion, gas and bloating to reduce weight, fat may Helps activate metabolism. It has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties as well as antibacterial properties. Therefore, turmeric works as a cure for all types of diseases.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Turmeric strengthens the immune system thanks to its strong antioxidant activity, which fights free radical attacks on the system. Its strong anti-inflammatory properties are also effective against the development of rheumatoid arthritis. If taken as a supplement, turmeric pills help in reducing joint pain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Regulates homocysteine levels and controls cholesterol levels. It also helps prevent heart attacks. Regulates insulin levels and thus has a limited effect on diabetes control.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the latest research on turmeric on Imri Day Health News Portal, turmeric has a long history in Asia as a treatment for all kinds of health problems, including digestive problems. A recent study found that the bright-yellow spice and its active ingredient, curcumin, may be as good at fighting indigestion as the over-the-counter drug omeprazole (Prilosec).</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to a study published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine, scientists randomly assigned 151 adults with indigestion to one of three diets. Participants took two 250 milligram (mg) capsules of curcumin. 20 mg tablets four times daily or both treatments combined. The researchers asked participants about the severity of indigestion symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain at the beginning of the study on days 28 and 56, and again later.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to study results, participants reported a reduction in symptoms in all three treatment groups.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Is it safe to take curcumin supplements for indigestion?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Although the study did not identify any serious side effects with curcumin or omeprazole (stomach acid-reducing drugs), laboratory tests showed that curcumin could cause liver damage in some overweight people.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Furthermore, the quality and quantity of curcumin in supplements may vary. Yuying Luo, assistant professor of gastroenterology at the Icahn School of Medicine, says, "Turmeric itself has been linked to liver injury, and when mixed with other substances, such as black pepper, it increases blood levels of curcumin."</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Participants in the study consumed a total of two grams of curcumin daily and experienced no side effects. It is not associated with liver problems at doses up to 6 grams daily,' says Dr Luo. But she suggests reading the label of any supplement carefully and consulting with your doctor.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-23005584129455769352023-12-18T22:37:00.000-08:002023-12-18T22:37:44.317-08:00Practice Of Social Change and Development in Asia <h2 style="text-align: justify;">Practice Of Social Change and Development in Asia </h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Remittances, Migration and Social Development </p><p style="text-align: justify;">A Conceptual Review of the Literature </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hein de Haas</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://publications.iom.int/sites/g/files/tmzbdl501/files/styles/book/public/books/migration_and_development_perspectives_lrg_1.jpg?itok=a0BM67vM" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="557" height="640" src="https://publications.iom.int/sites/g/files/tmzbdl501/files/styles/book/public/books/migration_and_development_perspectives_lrg_1.jpg?itok=a0BM67vM" width="446" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hein De Haas has been a prominent scholar in the field of migration studies, and his work often delves into the interconnections between migration, remittances, and social development. Here is a conceptual review of the key themes in the literature:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. **Remittances and Economic Impact:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Scholars often explore how remittances, which are financial transfers sent by migrants to their home countries, impact the economic development of receiving communities. This includes assessing the role of remittances in poverty alleviation, household income, and local economic development.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. **Social and Cultural Transformations:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Migration and remittances can bring about social and cultural changes in both sending and receiving communities. Researchers may investigate the impact of migration on family structures, gender roles, and cultural practices.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. **Developmental Consequences:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - The literature may discuss the broader developmental consequences of migration and remittances, considering factors such as education, healthcare, and overall human development indices in the context of remittance-receiving regions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. **Migration Policies and Social Development:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - De Haas might explore how migration policies, both in sending and receiving countries, influence the social development outcomes associated with migration and remittances. This could involve examining the role of policy frameworks in shaping the impact of migration on communities.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. **Transnationalism and Social Networks:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - Hein De Haas may also focus on the transnational nature of migration and how social networks formed by migrants contribute to social development. This involves looking at how connections between migrants and their home communities shape economic and social outcomes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. **Critiques and Challenges:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> - The literature may address critiques and challenges associated with the optimistic narratives around remittances and social development. This could include discussions on issues like dependency, inequality, and the potential negative consequences of relying heavily on remittances.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Introduction:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The exploration of "Remittances, Migration, and Social Development: A Conceptual Review of The Literature" by Hein De Haas is a journey into the intricate dynamics of how migration, particularly through the flow of remittances, shapes social development. This topic holds particular relevance within the field of sociology as it examines not only the economic dimensions of migration but also its profound social and cultural consequences.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Background on Hein De Haas:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hein De Haas, a luminary in the realm of migration studies, has significantly shaped our understanding of the interplay between migration and societal development. As a professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam, his research contributions encompass a diverse range of themes, from the economic impacts of remittances to the social and cultural transformations associated with migration.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Objectives of the Conceptual Review:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The overarching objective of this literature review is to glean insights into the multifaceted relationship between remittances, migration, and social development. By delving into De Haas's works, we aim to understand the nuanced connections and uncover the broader implications that extend beyond economic considerations.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Remittances and Economic Impact:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;">One of the central foci of De Haas's research involves examining how remittances, the financial lifelines sent by migrants to their home countries, contribute to the economic development of recipient communities. His work delves into the role of remittances in poverty alleviation, the augmentation of household income, and their influence in fostering local economic development.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Social and Cultural Transformations:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Migration is not a mere economic phenomenon; it entails profound social and cultural transformations. De Haas's insights shed light on how migration and the subsequent inflow of remittances influence family structures, redefine gender roles, and contribute to shifts in cultural practices within both sending and receiving communities.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Developmental Consequences:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Beyond the immediate economic impacts, migration and remittances have far-reaching consequences for societal development. Hein De Haas's conceptualization extends to factors such as education, healthcare, and overall human development indices within regions that receive remittances.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Migration Policies and Social Development:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Understanding the interplay between migration policies and social development outcomes is crucial. De Haas's research explores how policies in both sending and receiving countries shape the impact of migration, providing insights into the regulatory frameworks that influence the development trajectory of communities involved in migration processes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Transnationalism and Social Networks:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Migration is inherently transnational, and De Haas's work delves into the complexities of social networks formed by migrants. These networks, extending across borders, play a pivotal role in shaping social and economic outcomes for both migrants and their home communities.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Critiques and Challenges:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the pursuit of a comprehensive understanding, it is essential to consider critiques and challenges associated with optimistic narratives surrounding remittances. De Haas's research likely engages with issues such as dependency, inequality, and the potential negative consequences that may arise from an overreliance on remittance inflows.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Conclusion:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In conclusion, this conceptual review offers a nuanced exploration of remittances, migration, and social development through the lens of Hein De Haas's extensive contributions. The synthesis of economic, social, and cultural dimensions provides a holistic understanding of the complex interplay between migration processes and societal advancement.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Questions and Discussion:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As we open the floor to questions and discussion, we invite a thoughtful dialogue on the intricacies uncovered in this conceptual review. It is through such scholarly exchanges that we can further refine our comprehension of the profound implications of remittances and migration on social development.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">## Remittances, Migration, and Social Development: A Conceptual Review of the Literature by Hein de Haas</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Understanding the Intertwined Worlds:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hein de Haas, in his work titled "Remittances, Migration, and Social Development: A Conceptual Review of the Literature," delves into the complex relationship between remittances, migration, and social development in developing countries. He offers a comprehensive review of existing literature, building a framework to analyze the intricate ways these elements interact and shape diverse social realities.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Beyond Sending Money:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">De Haas challenges the simplistic view of remittances as mere financial transfers. He argues that they are embedded within the broader context of migration, serving as a **critical element** in household livelihood strategies. Migrant families often send money back home to support basic needs, education, healthcare, and even entrepreneurial ventures. These remittances become vital lifelines, contributing to **poverty reduction** and improved **living standards**.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Beyond Individual Benefits:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The paper extends beyond individual impacts, exploring the potential of remittances to **spur broader social development**. Invested in productive activities, they can stimulate local economies, generate **employment opportunities**, and foster infrastructure development. Remittances can also contribute to **improved education** and **healthcare systems**, leading to an overall rise in human capital and well-being.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**A Complex Landscape:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, de Haas acknowledges the multifaceted nature of this relationship. Remittances can sometimes reinforce **inequalities** within communities, with wealthier households benefiting more. Brain drain, where skilled individuals migrate, can leave sending communities with **labor shortages** and hinder long-term development. Additionally, reliance on remittances can create **dependence**, making recipient communities less resilient to economic shocks.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**Navigating the Nuances:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The paper emphasizes the need for **context-specific** analysis to understand the true impact of remittances on social development. Different factors, such as migration patterns, recipient country policies, and cultural dynamics, need to be considered to develop sustainable development strategies. De Haas calls for **policy interventions** that maximize the positive impacts of remittances while mitigating potential drawbacks.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">**In Conclusion:**</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">"Remittances, Migration, and Social Development" by Hein de Haas is a valuable resource for any Master's Sociology student interested in the intersections of migration, development, and social realities. It provides a nuanced understanding of remittances, moving beyond simplistic narratives to highlight their complex interplay with social structures and their potential to both empower and challenge development paths.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">"Remittances, Migration and Social Development: A Conceptual Review of the Literature" by Hein De Haas is a comprehensive study that examines the role of migrant remittances in the development of sending countries. The paper can be divided into several key points:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. **Migration and Development**: The study begins by discussing the relationship between migration and development, highlighting the importance of remittances as a key factor in the development process. It emphasizes that the developmental impact of migration depends on the interaction between migrants and their home communities, as well as the policies and programs implemented by both sending and receiving countries.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. **Remittances and Poverty Reduction**: De Haas argues that remittances can play a significant role in reducing poverty, as they often flow to the poorest households and are used for basic needs such as food, housing, and education. However, the study also acknowledges that the developmental impact of remittances is not limited to poverty reduction, as they can also be used for infrastructure, health, and other community-level investments.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. **The Role of Remittances in Development**: The paper explores the various ways in which remittances can contribute to development, including direct investments in infrastructure, health, and education, as well as indirect effects such as gender empowerment and social inclusion. It also discusses the potential trade-offs between different uses of remittances, such as the choice between investing in infrastructure or human capital.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. **Challenges and Opportunities**: De Haas identifies several challenges in the literature on remittances and development, including the need for better data and more rigorous evaluation methods. He also highlights the potential of digital technologies to transform the way remittances are sent and used, as well as the role of diaspora organizations and networks in facilitating development projects.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. **Future Research**: The study concludes by suggesting directions for future research on remittances and development. This includes a call for more interdisciplinary and longitudinal research, as well as a focus on the role of digital technologies and diaspora networks in shaping the development impact of remittances.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In summary, De Haas's "Remittances, Migration and Social Development: A Conceptual Review of the Literature" provides a comprehensive overview of the role of migrant remittances in the development of sending countries. By examining the various ways in which remittances can contribute to development, the study highlights the importance of understanding the complex interactions between migration, remittances, and development policies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-51437745605216021632023-12-16T20:15:00.000-08:002023-12-16T20:15:49.028-08:00 Cervical cancer kills 500,000 people every year, fear is not checked in time<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> Cervical cancer kills 500,000 people every year, fear is not checked in time</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Everyone has a mother, sister-in-law, brother-in-law in their house. They may have looked healthy. However, in reality, they are always at risk of a fatal disease. That is - cervical cancer. Every woman between 30 and 60 years of age is at risk of this disease.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Women who are married at a young age, have many children, have sexual relations with many people, and take family planning pills for a long time are at high risk of cervical cancer. Women who have sex only once in their life are equally at risk of this disease.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/pvn100123gynocancers-005-6500d991c1fd7.jpg?crop=1xw:0.8427949915110357xh;center,top&resize=1200:*" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="360" src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/pvn100123gynocancers-005-6500d991c1fd7.jpg?crop=1xw:0.8427949915110357xh;center,top&resize=1200:*" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Because of this danger, it is in the first place among the cancers that occur in women. After this disease, the treatment is expensive and complicated. "That's why it's better not to get sick", said Dr. Sarita Ghimire says, 'And, that can be done easily.'</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Expert experience</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gynecologist and oncologist Sarita Ghimire, who has permanent residence in Ramechhap, is an MBBS and MD from the Institute of Medical Studies (IOM).</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When he got his MD in 2004 in Gynecology and Obstetrics, cancer hospitals were just starting to open in Nepal. Along with this, the number of cancer patients was increasing rapidly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. is looking at that situation. Ghimire went to Bharatpur Cancer Hospital and took special training related to cancer. After that, she also went to Pakistan and UK for specialist training. Since then, it has been 15 years since he worked in the prevention of cervical cancer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. is currently working as a chief consultant at Talchikhel Cancer Care Foundation in Lalitpur. Ghimire's emphasis is on early disease detection. For this purpose, she reaches district after district to raise public awareness. In his experience, 6 to 8 out of 100 people who come to the hospital for cervical check-up have already reached the transition stage of cancer. Dr. Ghimire says, 'This data shows the benefits of raising public awareness.'</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When she joined Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital, she became more active in running camps in the districts. In those camps, information was given about various cancers including cervical cancer, breast cancer. Women have more cervical cancer, but since it can be prevented, the number of people who come to the hospital for examination has increased. There is an experience of wandering. And, it has given him professional satisfaction.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the camps, she used to keep scary photos, afraid to go to the hospital for an examination. It is human nature not to take anything seriously and not to change habits until fear arises in the mind, Dr. Ghimire says, 'which will become fatal itself tomorrow.'</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to him, around 528,000 women in the world suffer from cervical cancer every year. What is the situation in Nepal? "In Nepal, 20-22 percent of women who come to the hospital for cancer treatment suffer from cervical cancer", Dr. Ghimire says, 'Detailed study is yet to be done on this.'</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are no symptoms at first</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">After the cancer of the cervix has increased a lot, foul-smelling and blood-tinged water starts to flow. The appearance of blood even when there is no menstruation or the appearance of blood again in women who have dried up their periods is also a sign of cervical cancer. When this cancer spreads a lot, it causes bloating, leg swelling, waist and back pain, and problems with defecation and urination.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">To avoid this, women who have reached the age of 30 and who have had sex, even if it is only once in their life, should be examined by a trained health worker at least once every three to five years. Ghimire suggests. She says, 'Women who have dry periods and who have undergone surgery due to the possibility of cancer should also undergo regular examination of the uterus.'</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">During the examination, the health workers put medicine in the mouth of the uterus and check the visual inspection with acetic acid (VREA). Earlier, Pap Smear Test (PST) was used to detect the presence of cancer infection in the mouth of the cervix or not. VREA is more of a scientific method than that.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Infection can be prevented if known</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cervical cancer is caused by infection with a virus called human papilloma. This virus takes the form of cancer after 15 to 20 years of infection. Dr. According to Ghimire, the human papilloma virus can survive for 15-20 years. If the immunity is high, the body can even eliminate it. In those with low immunity, it causes subtle changes and causes cancer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cervical cancer can be prevented by knowing before regular check-up. Ghimire says. "However, our women are so involved in household responsibilities that they don't even have time to think of a hospital until the illness takes a serious form."</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-5105107476130596192023-12-16T20:12:00.000-08:002023-12-16T20:12:32.928-08:00 Are you inactive?

The World Health Organization's Global Strategic Plan aims to reduce human deaths from dog-bite rabies to zero by 2030. In this context, let's analyze the misconceptions and scientific facts about rabies in our society.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Myth-1: Rabies occurs when bitten by a dog or other animal that is aggressive and has fins in its mouth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://imgeng.jagran.com/images/2021/sep/world%20rabies%20day%20(1)1632803364955.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="671" data-original-width="800" height="537" src="https://imgeng.jagran.com/images/2021/sep/world%20rabies%20day%20(1)1632803364955.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fact: It's normal for dogs to bite when they feel unsafe and scared. This is a natural behavior of dogs. But dogs with rabies will bite any person for no reason. It is also not true that aggressiveness and foaming at the mouth is rabies. While most rabies-infected animals are aggressive, some animals may appear very passive at first. Symptoms such as fever and fatigue are early signs of rabies in animals or humans. An infected animal may have difficulty standing and may suffer from lameness and paralysis.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Myth-2: Rabies is transmitted only through bites.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fact: Rabies can be transmitted not only by the bite of a dog or other animal with rabies, but also if the saliva of the suspected animal comes into contact with different membranes or wounds of the body.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Misconception-3: If a mouse or rabbit bites you at home, you get rabies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fact: Rabies is rarely transmitted to humans from rats and rabbits. Therefore, post-bite rabies vaccine is not required for domestic rabbit and rat bites. However, if bitten by a wild rabbit, mouse or rat species, it is advisable to vaccinate on the advice of an infectious disease specialist.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Myth-4: There is no cure for rabies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fact: Rabies is preventable. Vaccines are available for both humans and animals to prevent the spread of rabies. If you have been bitten by an animal suspected of having rabies, the wound should be immediately cleaned thoroughly with soap and water for 10-15 minutes and vaccinated within 24 hours of the bite. But after seeing the symptoms of the disease, it is not possible to treat the rabies disease.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Myth-5: I do not need a post-exposure human rabies vaccine if I am bitten by a vaccinated dog.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fact: Although this is theoretically true, if the quality of the vaccine, the time of administration, the method and the physical condition of the dog are not suitable, even after vaccination, the dog may develop rabies. Therefore, even if the dog is vaccinated against rabies, it should be consulted by a doctor. A doctor will evaluate the bite wound to determine if a post-exposure vaccine is needed.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Myth-6: Some people still think that 20 or more abdominal shots are required to treat rabies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fact: In today's treatment system, depending on the condition, three vaccinations are usually done on the arm on the day of the bite, on the third day and on the seventh day.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Misconception-7: Vaccination against rabies in humans increases the risk of getting sick and also affects memory.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fact: Older human vaccines had some side effects but the new human vaccine that is currently available does not have side effects.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Myth-8: Pets and non-exposed dogs and cats do not need to be vaccinated against rabies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fact: Domesticated dogs can also be at risk of rabies from sneaking out of the house and from wild animals in the neighborhood. Bats or other small wild animals infected with rabies can enter your home and come into contact with your dog at any time. Since rabies is a fatal disease, it is advisable to vaccinate pets and non-exposed dogs and cats against rabies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Myth-9: Vaccination against rabies in pregnant and lactating women has negative effects on children and should not be vaccinated.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fact: All modern vaccines are inactivated, safe and effective, so pregnant and lactating women can get the rabies vaccine without harm to the baby.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Myth-10: Young puppies do not need to be vaccinated for bites.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fact: Puppies born to dogs that have been vaccinated against rabies and have fully developed immunity to rabies have the ability to fight the disease for at least three months of age. Therefore, in general, a dog under three months of age does not need to be vaccinated, but since we do not know much about the mother of the dog we have adopted, it is wise to get vaccinated against rabies even if a young child is bitten by a dog.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-57713509544661756422023-12-16T20:05:00.000-08:002023-12-16T20:05:51.104-08:00 What are the benefits of consuming Chyawanprash in winter?<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> What are the benefits of consuming Chyawanprash in winter?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Chyawanprash is considered nutritious for people of all age groups. Ayurveda says that Chyawanprash helps to increase the resistance to disease in the human body.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Currently, the multinational companies Dabur, Patanjali, Multani, Java and other companies are producing and selling Chyawanprash in the market. Among those companies, Dabur Chyawanprash, which is made by mixing various herbs, ghee, sesame oil and honey, is considered to be the leader.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chandigarhayurvedcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/6-Reasons-why-should-we-eat-Chyawanprash-in-winters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="335" data-original-width="512" height="419" src="https://www.chandigarhayurvedcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/6-Reasons-why-should-we-eat-Chyawanprash-in-winters.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The word Chyavanaprash from Sanskrit is a formula created with the ancient Indian knowledge of Ayurveda and modern science. Chyawanprash is a nutritious jam, which plays a role in making our health healthy and fit.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ghee, sesame oil and honey act as stimulating agents to take the herbs deep into the cells. While honey helps to neutralize and protect the effects of other major elements. Chyawanprash helps to make muscles strong, supple and strong.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you consume Chyawanprash, the skin becomes soft and shiny. Consuming Chyawanprash is also beneficial in reducing the signs of aging with increasing age.

They want to develop their personality well so that they can achieve success when they grow up.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">To achieve success in life, parents should also develop leadership qualities in their children. Developing leadership qualities in children means building their confidence and encouraging their growth on a personal, professional level.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://fileserver.teachstarter.com/thumbnails/37990-what-makes-a-good-leader-leadership-skills-for-kids-thumbnail-0-600x400.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="314" data-original-width="600" height="335" src="https://fileserver.teachstarter.com/thumbnails/37990-what-makes-a-good-leader-leadership-skills-for-kids-thumbnail-0-600x400.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If a child has leadership qualities, he can do excellent work in his field of interest. There is a thought in the society that politics means leadership. But leadership is necessary not only in politics, but also in family and society. Therefore, the child should be taught what leadership development is.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Children can achieve success in their field if leadership qualities are developed during their physical, emotional, intellectual and mental development.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The best way to develop leadership qualities in a child is by showing something. Communicating with the child should be done effectively in a way that reflects responsibility and empathy. A child also learns a lot from parents who are leading in the work field and in society. The child remembers and follows what the parents do. Seeing leadership skills in the behavior of parents, children also start to adopt it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">As much as parents play an important role in developing leadership qualities in children, school teachers also play an important role. Therefore, to develop leadership qualities in children, teachers and parents should teach the child mainly these five things.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Communication skills</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is a skill that every child should have. Communication skills can help every person to move forward in life. It is said that 'the flour of those who speak is sold, even the rice of those who do not speak is not sold'. Therefore, the child should be taught to speak openly and clearly in front of others. If children grow up and want to make a career in media, politics, marketing, then 'communication skills' are very useful for them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nowadays, there is a trend of taking various trainings to improve communication skills. But if parents encourage the child to talk to everyone from an early age, it will be beneficial for them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">to admit defeat</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Children of parents who adopt a positive attitude towards difficulties and mistakes have the ability to learn new things. Children participate in many activities but can become frustrated if they lose. Don't stop trying even if you lose. Children should be taught that they will succeed if they keep trying. It should be explained to the child that both victory and defeat must be accepted in life. If the habit of accepting defeat is developed in children, this quality is helpful for leadership development.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">To participate in social events</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Leadership qualities can be developed in children only when children actively participate in social work. Children should be encouraged to participate in social programs to develop these qualities. By participating in social events, they learn to cooperate with others. It also enhances their leadership qualities.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">To participate in sports</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sports are not only important for physical activity, but also for mental health. Children involved in games or sports can solve their own problems. Such children often focus on problem solving. Which also develops leadership qualities in them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Helping to increase confidence</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">You should help your children to increase their confidence from childhood. To increase self-confidence, the child should be encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities, school functions and social events etc. Such activities increase children's confidence. A confident child often does not hesitate to try new things. This is one of the most important qualities for leadership.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-47857031929812549942023-12-16T19:35:00.000-08:002023-12-16T19:35:31.017-08:00 Why don't children like to go to school?<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> Why don't children like to go to school?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A child who always goes to school sometimes suddenly refuses to go. They are afraid to go to school, cry, shout, fight. In front of such stubbornness of children, even the parents are helpless and do not send them to school according to their wishes. If such a situation occurs sometimes, it is not serious.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">But in some cases children do not agree to go to school even for a long time. Parents' efforts to send the child to school are failing. There is a situation where it is difficult to send someone, who is sent soon, comes back again and sends it the next day.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://dropinblog.net/34242946/files/featured/B52-FI-10-Reason-why-Kids-Dont-Like_School-01142022-min.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="394" data-original-width="700" height="360" src="https://dropinblog.net/34242946/files/featured/B52-FI-10-Reason-why-Kids-Dont-Like_School-01142022-min.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In such a situation, some parents who are fed up with this behavior of children, instead of understanding the reason why the child does not go to school, think that the child is lying or making excuses and send him to school by beating him. Which is absolutely wrong.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">They may not want to go to school because of the school environment, friends or teachers. In this case, instead of beating them, it is important to understand why they don't want to go.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Bullying from peers</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">School is also a place where friends gather. Most of the children have formed a group in school among their age group and close friend group. Some children may feel isolated because they cannot fit into an already established group. Not only that, sometimes there may be bullying from friends at school. At school, the actions of his friends like teasing, teasing, bullying, teasing and bullying by his friends can make him unable to say anything and fear can gradually settle in the child's heart. Because of that fear, hearing the name of the school can cause a headache for the child.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Consider yourself weak</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In school, a child has to compete with his friends in everything. If he is weak in studies like other classmates or is repeatedly told by others, he will consider himself weak and lose confidence, who may not go to school. Furthermore, if a child takes longer to learn than other children, they may become more anxious and have trouble concentrating.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">AI generated picture</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fear of being different</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If he takes more time to learn than other children, if he cannot answer any question in class, his deficiency is seen as a joke in school. When unable to answer the question, the teacher reprimands the children, compares them with others, friends also tease them, so the children start looking for excuses to hide their weakness. It reduces the morale of children.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Failure to complete tasks on time</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In school, teachers not only make them practice in school, but also give them homework to complete at home. In such a situation, some children do not understand the concept of practice or are afraid of being scolded by the teacher when they cannot complete their class work and homework. In such a situation, they think that the best way to avoid this abuse is not to go to school. So they make excuses not to go to school.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Can be anxiety</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If a child tries to avoid going to school for various reasons, it can have a negative impact on him for life. For example, even after missing 6 months of schooling, it is difficult for children to rejoin the class later. This will put more mental pressure on them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If there is a stressful environment in the school and it is not resolved in time, the child may develop anxiety. Inability to pay attention to studies, fear of exams, victimization by other children, beatings and torture by teachers may result in health problems in children such as: not wanting to go to school, fear of going to school, heaviness in the head after going to school, stomach ache, sometimes even fever.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Children suffering from such mental problems do not show any kind of physical illness even after a health check-up. In other words, a stressful environment can cause anxiety in them and make them feel uncomfortable physically as a reaction.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How to solve?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Try to find out the reason for not going to school</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If such problems appear, first of all, they should find out the reason why such a problem appeared in them and start solving the problem. The first member close to the child is the parent. Parents should gently ask why they are not allowed to go to school. If the child does not speak, it is important to understand if something has happened at school. Because the more this problem is ignored, the more the child's mood deteriorates.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Behaving like a friend</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Always talk to your child as a friend. So that he can tell you all his things openly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">After coming from school, you should try to mingle with the child. To begin with, you should tell about your school and the fun moments at school. So that they can be motivated to go to school thinking that it is a very fun place.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Do not scold if you are weak in studies</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If the child is weak in studies, you can try to teach and explain to him. Parents or teachers should encourage them to work hard without pretending that they are weak.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Every teacher should patiently explain any topic to a child in a way they can understand. And, even if something goes wrong, they should be told affectionately so that they can take their weaknesses and mistakes and correct them in a positive way.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In children, if there is no improvement even after reprimanding, then medication should also be given in consultation with the relevant doctor.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-53129313723087890322023-11-21T21:20:00.000-08:002023-11-21T21:20:53.131-08:00 How to deal with angry children?<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> How to deal with angry children?</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Children often have tantrums, which is normal. They express their feelings through anger. What they are not able to say openly, they express it through anger.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Usually, children get angry if they want something, if they are sad or in pain, if they cannot eat what they want. When they get angry, they cry, scream, throw hands, jump from high places. Which is also called tantrum in medical language. But this is normal.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/87310733.cms" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/87310733.cms" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is how children learn to hold their own and behave. But even as you get older, such behavior, such as getting angry, beating someone when you don't understand, it is called unhealthy behavior. These symptoms are not normal but can also be due to mental illness.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Vijay Gyawali, Psychiatrist</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Why do children keep getting angry even as they grow older?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Children get angry for many reasons. Mental health is also one of the reasons. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) also causes children to get angry. Its symptoms include inability to concentrate, impulsiveness, quick decision-making, and repetition.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Children also get angry due to separation anxiety. For example, when returning home from school, getting angry, snapping, and chirping are symptoms of it. They are excited to see their parents after the school holidays. Not knowing how to express that enthusiasm, they get angry and angry.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">They get angry because they cannot express their feelings clearly due to family discord, quarrels, when their wishes are not fulfilled and also due to bullying in school.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How to trick children?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Usually, children have a habit of getting angry and upset over small things. At this time, they should not be scolded, beaten and beaten. It can have a bad effect on them mentally. Instead, if they are very angry, you should try to understand their feelings.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Children can be fooled by applying Parent Management Technique (PMT).</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">At first, they should be taught how to express their feelings. When you get angry, write down what you are angry about, show a red card when you get angry, and sit with both hands tied.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you don't like something, you can make him take a long breath, close his eyes, and sing a song without showing anger. Which helps to reduce their anger.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A change can be made in the language that deceives them. Like, if you are angry, why are you angry, did you do your homework or not?, isn't it time to go to school? Asking them like this can make them even more angry. Instead of using a different kind of language, children can be told 'I am angry today, you are fooling me'. It learns that when angry, this is how it behaves. Anger is also reduced.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, it can be taken for a walk or to play inside or outside the house. For example, you can make them play in the sand, play football, run, etc. Which helps to 'release' their angry energy.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-20508741666452903882023-11-21T21:18:00.000-08:002023-11-21T21:18:15.729-08:00 Five standards, which show that a child is developing correctly<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> Five standards, which show that a child is developing correctly</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The dimensions of the child's development are mainly of five types. Anil Ojha says.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">He says, 'The first basis to see whether a child's development has taken place in the right way or not is his physical development. At what age does the child sit, at what age does it start walking etc. A child had to start walking in one year. There was no problem when I started walking after two or four months. However, if he does not start walking even after that, the parents should be aware that his development has not taken place properly.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.all4kids.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/baby-blur-child-437747-e1572541116576.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="426" src="https://www.all4kids.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/baby-blur-child-437747-e1572541116576.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The development of another language is equally important. Children start speaking from the age of one year. Ojha says that if they give examples of mother, father or any other word, it should be understood that their language has developed well. He says, "If a child does not speak even until the age of two, and even when speaking, they do not make clear examples of words, then it should be understood that their language development has not been done properly."</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to Ojha, a child's social and emotional development should also be accompanied by age. Like a one-year-old child should be loved by the mother rather than kissing the child on the cheek. I had to clap instead of clapping.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If a child uses his hands, fingers, wrists and muscles to grasp something, it is called 'fine motor skill'. Through these skills, children learn to coordinate their eyes, hands, fingers and wrists. This is important for two- to five-year-old children, says Ojha. This skill should be developed at the age of 2 to 5 years. With its help, children learn to hold things, write, understand etc.'</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The intellectual development of a child according to age is equally important. A one-year-old child starts looking for hidden things. If he shows curiosity about something, it should be understood that his intellectual development is also going well. However, Ojha said that if these five skills are not developed in a child, then his development is considered to be delayed.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">What should be the weight and height according to the child's age?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If the weight and height of the children are according to their age, it can be understood that the child is healthy and the diet they are getting is good. Developmental pediatrician Dr. Ojha says that age and weight gain is a normal and necessary process as children grow.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">He says that a child's weight at birth is 3 kg, but at 6 months, his weight doubles to 6 kg. When a child is born, its height is about 50 cm, and in one year it is 75 cm.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A 5-year-old child should weigh around 17.9 kg. He said that at this age, it is considered healthy for a child to have an average height of 42.5 inches.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If children's height and weight are not developing according to their age, then it should be understood that something is lacking somewhere. A doctor's advice should be taken for this.'' says Ojha.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Until what age does the child's physical development accelerate?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the first year, the child's physical development is very rapid. Ojha said that physical development happens with the age of the child. However, even in a year, the speed will decrease. The child's mental development is very rapid in the first two to three years.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Special attention should be paid to the diet of the child during this age period</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Special attention should be paid to the diet of children in the age group of two to three years. Proper nutrition is a solid foundation for a child's good health and development. Ojha said that children who have good nutrition can learn and grow well.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">"Even if only mother's milk is enough for 6 months, from 6 months, you should start eating semi-solid foods such as pulses, jalous, fruit juice, litho." It should be taken.'</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If the child is not growing properly, is under-age or abnormally large, the cause should be sought</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If the child is not growing properly for its age, is small or abnormally large, it may be due to genetics. Some children look young till 11-12 years old but can grow rapidly in adulthood. Even if the child lacks nutrition, the growth and development of the child will not be done properly. Ojha said that due to some health problem, the child may look younger or older than his age.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">He suggested that if children's development is not according to their age, they should seek the help of a doctor to find out the reason.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480484064273741645.post-44695936525987220182023-11-21T21:15:00.000-08:002023-11-21T21:15:20.482-08:00 6 ways to strengthen children emotionally<h2 style="text-align: justify;"> 6 ways to strengthen children emotionally</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Nowadays, the competition in every field has increased a lot. In such a situation, it is the responsibility of the parents to make the child physically and emotionally strong. If a child is emotionally strong, he can overcome every difficulty easily.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Being emotionally strong enables the child to face problems. Also, they do not give up even in the face of challenges and failures and continue to strive. It is very important for a child to be emotionally strong. Because children who are not emotionally strong, even if they get low marks in the exam, they think that they have made a big mistake.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://thepillarsclc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/the-pillars-christian-learning-center-6-ways-to-help-your-child-manage-big-emotions.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="426" src="https://thepillarsclc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/the-pillars-christian-learning-center-6-ways-to-help-your-child-manage-big-emotions.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In such a situation, it is very important for the parents to strengthen the child emotionally from childhood. For that, parents themselves must be emotionally strong. Because children learn a lot by watching their parents.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">How to make the child emotionally strong?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Do not scold the child</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The way to make a child emotionally strong is not to scold him for small things. If you scold a child for small mistakes, it makes the child emotionally weak and his confidence starts to decrease.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When a child makes a mistake, he should be encouraged not to make the same mistake again. Also, if the child does not agree to do any work, he should be lovingly reasoned with him.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Create an environment where the child can speak freely</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Parents should occasionally talk to their children and listen to them. By doing this, the child can tell the parents that this has affected me physically, mentally and emotionally. Even if the child listens carefully to everything and says we are with you, they are emotionally strong.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When children reach their teenage years, they can be very emotional. Even if they are taught how to control their emotions at that time, they become emotionally strong.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Teaching the child the importance of time</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">With the passage of time, there is a rapid change in technology. Also, there has been a change in children's behavior and confidence. Nowadays, children learn a lot from a young age. In such a situation, the child should be encouraged to do the right thing at the right time. The importance of time should be explained to them. This will create confidence in the child.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Teaching problem solving skills</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Life is full of challenges. So it is necessary to teach the child how to deal with those challenges. They should be included in the decision-making process and should be helped to develop problem-solving skills. Children should be encouraged to think critically and solve everyday problems.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Helping to develop positive thinking</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is also important to develop positive thinking in children. There is a way to overcome every challenge. Therefore, continuous effort, perseverance and the ability to learn from mistakes should be increased. By developing a mindset that accepts challenges as a natural part of the learning process, children develop resilience and the ability to bounce back from setbacks.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Explain the importance of family</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Emotional strength is the cornerstone to building strong, positive relationships. Encourage your child to develop good relationships with family and friends. The child should be told the benefits of building good relationships with others. With the help of family, friends and colleagues, children can easily get out of every difficult situation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Parents are role models for children. In such a situation, the child should be supported at every step. He should be motivated to do something new. Encourage them to be better people.</p>RANJIT SHRESTHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191583662897875550noreply@blogger.com0
