According to Erik Erikson (1966), when we reach the age range between 40 to 65, we will struggle to generate ourselves to be as productive as possible, i n a caring way. If we fail to do so, we will become stagnant. Spending our whole day just basically doing nothing. He called this stage ‘generativity vs. stagnant’. The two main avenues for our generativity at this stage will be caregiving and employment. Erik Erikson myinterestingfacts.com Although caregiving might involve meeting another person’s physical needs (feeding, cleaning, transportation, etc.), actually caregiving revolves a lot about fulfilling one’s psychological needs (feeling loved, appreciated, valued, etc.). And this happens regardless of what kind of connection that we have with our caregivers, be it our foster parents, stepparents or others. Have you ever heard of sandwich generation? It is a term used to refer to the generation of middle-aged people who are supposedly squeezed by the needs of the y...

investigations.peta.org This issue has surfaced, (or some might say resurfaced) on my Twitter. And it really brings distress to me as I watch it. I cannot imagine how would these baby monkeys actually experience and face the situation. I can't help but wonder. Human cruelty is already a big problem on this Earth. So why on Earth are we adding a brand new big problem, called animal cruelty? Are we really that cruel? These cruel actions are being justified by some parties, as psychological experiments. As experiments that are conducted to gain more knowledge and understanding, to help out mankind in return. Thinking about it reminds me to Belko Experiment.

More instructions follow ahead, but I'll just leave it here, so I don't spoil it. The point that I am trying to convey here, is both of them claim whatever that they are...

It all started when I was seventeen years old. My teacher asked me to join the English debate team for the school, simply out of reason that I can speak English not just fluently, but also spontaneously. I didn't think too much about it at that time, and just said yes. Plus, I like talking. The topic that I got was, and I'm simplifying it here: can students bring phones to school? Firstly I got excited, because I totally agree with the statement. Reasons? Maybe I'll save it for another time. Then I found out that I got to be the opposing team. I was quite bummed out, but that didn't stop me from trying my best. In fact, it helps me to see the disadvantages of supporting the statement. It was just that, when it was the actual day of the competition, when it was the actual time for me to stand up and talk, I didn't feel like my true self. My mouth said no, but my heart said yes. And although I won the competition at the end, I felt disappointed that I didn...
