Last week, I were in the shopping centre with my 7 years old sister. We were walking by one of the toy shops. I know how much she enjoys such places, so I decided to enter. During our " travel " between aisles I heard a lot of times that she want a toy, because someone else has the same one. I think it is in some way good example of social adjustment. People from a young age try to integrate into group by various behaviours and some kind of " popular " things. I think it's really important for children to have positive peer relations. In future peers will take over supporting role. However, People should draw the line between participation in common activities and doing things in spite of themselves.

A short time ago, I heard about suicide on the Warsaw Underground. According to the information I found out about, young men fell on metro tracks. People, who work there, pulled him out and started reanimation. Unfortunately, they weren't able to save him. This is not the only accident. Nowadays, more and more young people think about taking their lives and too often, they make an attempt, The reasons behind this activity can be complex and various. One of the most obvious and common reason is depression. Often this illness is related to psychical or physical harassment, the lack of self-acceptance or family problems. Moreover, in today's world even young people have easy access to stimulants. As a result, other connected reason of suicide is diversity of addictions like alcoholism and drug abuse. In addition, some of the teenagers are very impulsive and can decide about suicide after a stressful life event like problems at school or a breakup. In my opinion, People sho...

I think it's easy to see how much time children spend watching tv. Many people believe that children should not watch TV at all. However, other people think that this activity has a lot of advantages. One of the advanteges is education. Some channels give an opportunity to learn pronunciation of difficult words in their mother tongue and practice some foreign languages, too. Moreover, some science channels are source of knowledge about our society and environment. As a result, children adapt to live in our community. On the other hand watching TV by children is unhealthy. Young person, who spend more than 4 hours a day staring at a screen, can easy became addicted to it.  In addition, children some sort of programs could be a source of brutal behaviors . As a result, young people, who have inappropriate behaviors can be isolated from a group of their peers. Watching TV has many advantages such as opportunity to get knowledge, but also could be a source of problems to children. I th...

A little while ago, I saw a short video about muslin women beaten in a public place. It was social experiment. At the beginning is shown men, who during altercation hit her girlfriend. He immediately encountered with inimical stranger reaction. Afterwards, it was examined whether people will react in the same way if women wore the Muslim hijab covering. They looked, sometimes even recorded, but only one person say anything. Such a situation is religion discrimination. Media, schools, places of work promotes diversity and understanding of different races, religions and cultures. Moreover, nowadays most of the people consider yourself as a tolerant person. However, this video show us that still happen situations, when community treats people unfairly compared to someone else, because of her/his religion or beliefs.
