Generation Gap is a term given to the gap or age difference between two sets of people; the young people and their elders, especially between children and their parents. Everything is influenced with the change of time- the age, the culture, mannerism and morality. This change affects every one. Generation gap is an endless social phenomenon. Every generation lives at a particular time under certain circumstances and conditions. So, all generations have their own set of values and views. Every generation wants to uphold the principles they believe . This is a problem that has continued for ages.
People born in several time periods under different conditions have their own views supported the circumstances they need been through. The patterns of life are changing continuously consistent with time. Everyone wants to measure and behave in his own way and nobody wants to compromise together with his or her values and views. There has always been a difference in attitude or lack of understanding between the younger and older generations. This attitude has augmented the generation gap and it’s becoming wider day-by-day. This gap now has started impacting our lives during a wrong way.
It is always good to possess a good range of ideas, views and opinions. It indicates how we are developing and advancing but sometimes this becomes worrisome when the views and concepts aren’t accepted by both the generations. Parents create a particular image in minds for his or her children. They want to mention their children with values that they need been mentioned with and expect their children to follow an equivalent . Parents want children to act in accordance with their values, as they believe, it’s for his or her benefit and would had best to them.
Children on the opposite hand have broader outlook and refuse to simply accept the normal ways. They want to try to to things in their own ways and don’t like going by any rulebook. Mostly, children experience conflict during their adolescence. They are desperately searching for self-identity. Parents sometimes fail to know the stress of this fast paced world. Ultimately, despite love and affection for every other both are drained out of energy and unable to grasp the opposite . Consequently there’s a scarcity of communication and abandoning on relationships.
Nothing are often as beautiful as a parent-child relationship within the world. It should be nurtured very delicately then it’s important to bridge the gap between the 2 generations. It is time to understand that neither is totally right nor wrong. Both the generations need to develop more understanding and acceptance for every other. Having a dialogue with one another calmly, with the thought of checking out conflict amicably in ideas, changing their mindset for every other and coming to a middle ground can be the foremost helpful instrument in bridging the gap between the 2 generations.
Spending longer with one another like family outings, vacations, picnics, shopping, watching movies together might be some effective ways to create up a robust bond with one another . Both the generations need to study the ways of the society during their growing period and have mutual respect for it. To reduce the friction between the 2 generations, both parents and youngsters need to give space to every other and define certain boundaries that the latter should respect an equivalent .
Generation gap occurs because society is constantly changing. It is the responsibility of both the generations to fill this gap amorously , affection and trust. Both the generations should have mutual respect for the views and opinions that they uphold and advance cautiously with the event of the society.
In order to shrink the generation gap, we must be open minded about learning from other generations. There is often a stigma within each generation that older or younger generations are wrong because their opinions and values are different. … there’s always room to grow and learn.

People realize drug detox, but there’s also what’s referred to as social media and digital detox, and lots of feel it’s an important thing that folks got to do.
When you put the words SOCIAL MEDIA DETOX into Google, this definition pops up:
“A social media detox may be a conscious elimination of social media use and consumption for a group period of your time . Generally, most social media detoxes are 30 days, but some people do seven days or maybe a year-long social media detox.”
Then on the primary page are the questions, “How do I take an opportunity from social media?” “What happens once you hand over social media?” “Why going off social media is good?”
Well, we all know why it’s good to require an opportunity from social media, regardless of how long you are doing it. Too much social media are often toxic and depressing. Studies have shown that an excessive amount of social media are often bad for you, and an opportunity from it’s not a nasty idea.
It could also make an excellent new year’s resolution, because as Psychology Today reports, “The early months of the year are traditionally a time for abstinence, introspection, and renewal. Another emerging tradition has become referred to as a digital detox. This refers to self-initiated periods of abstinence from using digital devices, especially abstention from social media.”
As this report continues, “Research indicates a significant increase in the usage of social media in recent years. This has become especially intense among young people.” This report cited a study that claimed that over 20% of students are on social media for five hours a day or more, which is clearly a lot.
Social Media Detox and Mental Health
As far as social media and mental health, this story mentions that many studies will tell you that “low levels of social media usage are associated with better mental health.” Spending an excessive amount of time on social media can affect your physical health also . As this story explains, “One study indicated that heavy usage of social media and digital devices could negatively affect the standard of sleep,” and an excessive amount of social media time can cause headaches and vision problems.
Studies from everywhere have shown that spending an excessive amount of time on social media are often potentially hazardous to your psychological state , and breaks, even now then , are strongly advised. One of the most important reasons is that social media can show distorted views of reality that make people feel inferior, like their lives can’t qualify to some celebrity or influencer. This often couldn’t be beyond the reality , and that we might not realize the grass truly isn’t greener on the opposite side, but it’s certainly easy to be convinced otherwise.
A social media detox, regardless of the time you spend faraway from it, be it hours, days, weeks, or maybe months, are often very beneficial to your psychological state . If you’re not able to take an enormous step faraway from it, little steps are certainly recommended. See how you wish it initially , then see if you’ll enjoy longer faraway from it and if it truly benefits your life and psychological state .
There’s no denying that social media has become an enormous a part of modern life. Apps like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter help us stay connected with loved ones, catch abreast of news, and find out both beautiful destinations and galvanizing people. Yet you’ll find that spending hours on end scrolling through various feeds can leave you feeling anxious, drained, or dissatisfied. So how does one know if you’re in need of a social media detox? “Reflect on your habits and evaluate how social media causes you to feel and the way it impacts your life,” says Catherine Price, author of the way to hack together with your Phone and founder of Screen/Life Balance. “Is it negatively impacting your mental wellness? How about your productivity and creativity? Is it taking time away from the activities that make you happy?”
It’s important to notice that there’s nothing inherently wrong with spending time on social media, consistent with Price. “The important thing is to use it with purpose and intention,” she says. If, upon reflection, you are able to spot any negative effects that the apps have had on your life, then it’s time for a social media break.

Ideas  that will help to disconnect a little and have a happier, healthier relationship with social media from now on.

Delete your social media apps.

Detox with a buddy.

Talk to your friends and family.

Set time limits on your apps.

Practice meditation.

Get a real alarm clock.

Give your phone a bedtime.

Think of your attention as a valuable resource.

Ideally, you’re completely eliminating social media use and consumption. This means deleting and removing all social media apps from your phone, and in some cases where it’s possible, temporarily disabling your social media accounts. 

While the Mughals were an invincible force everywhere, they never succeeded in getting a foothold in the North East India.  The North East was an attractive proposition for the Mughals, rich Brahmaputra flowing through many countries and hence a great trade opportunity, and by controlling this region, one could control the trade route. The region was fertile and it meant great agricultural bounty.

The story of Ahom dynasty of Assam vs Mughals is incomplete without the story of Lachit Borphukan.  He was one of the five Patra Mantri (minister) in the Ahom Kingdom. He was the ruler of Lower Assam during that period.

From 1615 to 1682, the Mughals attacked North East 17 times. In 1667, the Ahoms lost Guwahati (Pragjyotishpur) to Mughals and had to pay a war indemnity of 3 lacs rupees and ninety elephants. Two Ahom princesses were taken as hostages by the Mughal Army.  King Chakradhwaj Singha selected Lachit Borphukan to lead the forces and get Guwahati back from Mughal captivity. Lachit raised the army and seized Guwahati from the Mughals.  He was sure that Mughals will be back soon, and hence immediately started preparing for the next battle.  .  He was right, Mughals came knocking at their doors with a much bigger and powerful army.

The Battle of Saraighat

The Mughals did not take this defeat lightly and came back with 30000 soldiers, 15000 archers, 18000 Turkish cavalry, 5000 gunmen and over 1000 canons. This was a mighty fleet and defeating them looked like an uphill task. Lachit was brave and a master mind. He forced the Mughal army to fight at the Brahmaputra River. Lachit had identified the weakest link in the Mughal force – their navy. The Ahom army built multiple mud embankments around Guwahati so that the Mughals were forced to attack them through Saraighat using their Navy.

For the Ahoms, the knowledge about the terrain was a big advantage. During the battle, there was a time when Lachit Borphukan fell terribly ill and the morale of the Ahom army started dwindling. His response to his team was very clear “If you want to flee, go ahead… the King has assigned a responsibility to me and I will do it well irrespective of my health. Let the Mughals take me away. You report to the king that his general fought well following his orders”. His soldiers rallied and a fiercely fought battle resulted in a victory over the mammoth Mughal army.  The general was not fighting for fame, religion or the King. He was fighting for his motherland and its people. Every year, 24^th of November is celebrated as Lachit Diwas in Assam.

Ahoms and their Navy

Ahoms always had a war strategy in place and that was about keeping invaders west of the river. The paik system ensured that each family in the Brahmaputra valley had to depute the male members whenever there was a war or any other extraordinary situation.  This implied a backup of army men whenever the need arise.

The Ahoms made excellent use of the terrain and developed perhaps India’s only “river specific” navy! Inside-out knowledge of the terrain was what made the guerrilla warfare highly effective and they called it “Daga Yuddha”!  Even towards the end of Ahom dynasty, their navy had more than 7000 sailors. There were sophisticated docks for boat building. They also knew how to build bastions (Pani Garh) in the middle of the river without using any existing island.

The Ahom war boats were smaller in size, but made up of wood from a specific tree, which would not sink even if overloaded. Each boat had a life of more than 10 years and was equipped with guns and artillery. The small boats were easy to maneuver in the river as compared to the large boats used by the Mughals. The Ahom boat men were expert in steering the boats in the battle field (river).

High in the Indian Himalayas, a remote lake nestled in a snowy valley is strewn with hundreds of human skeletons.

Roopkund Lake is located 5,029 metres (16,500ft) above sea level at the bottom of a steep slope on Trisul, one of India’s highest mountains, in the state of Uttarakhand.

The remains are strewn around and beneath the ice at the “lake of skeletons”, discovered by a patrolling British forest ranger in 1942.

Depending on the season and weather, the lake, which remains frozen for most of the year, expands and shrinks. Only when the snow melts are the skeletons visible, sometimes with flesh attached and well preserved. To date, the skeletal remains of an estimated 600-800 people have been found here. In tourism promotions, the local government describes it as a “mystery lake”.

For more than half-a-century anthropologists and scientists have studied the remains and puzzled over a host of questions.

Who were these people? When did they die? How did they die? Where did they come from?

One old theory associates the remains to an Indian king, his wife and their attendants, all of whom perished in a blizzard some 870 years ago.

Another suggests that some of the remains are of Indian soldiers who tried to invade Tibet in 1841, and were beaten back. More than 70 of them were then forced to find their way home over the Himalayas and died on the way.

Yet another assumes that this could have been a “cemetery” where victims of an epidemic were buried. In villages in the area, there’s a popular folk song that talks about how Goddess Nanda Devi created a hail storm “as hard as iron” which killed people winding their way past the lake. India’s second-highest mountain, Nanda Devi, is revered as a goddess.

Earlier studies of skeletons have found that most of the people who died were tall – “more than average stature”. Most of them were middle-aged adults, aged between 35 and 40. There were no babies or children. Some of them were elderly women. All were of reasonably good health.

Also, it was generally assumed that the skeletons were of a single group of people who died all at once in a single catastrophic incident during the 9th Century.

The latest five-year-long study, involving 28 co-authors from 16 institutions based in India, US and Germany, found all these assumptions may not be true.

Scientists genetically analysed and carbon-dated the remains of 38 bodies, including 15 women, found at the lake – some of them date back to around 1,200 years.

They found that the dead were both genetically diverse and their deaths were separated in time by as much as 1,000 years.

“It upends any explanations that involved a single catastrophic event that lead to their deaths,” Eadaoin Harney, the lead author of the study, and a doctoral student at Harvard University, told me. “It is still not clear what happened at Roopkund Lake, but we can now be certain that the deaths of these individuals cannot be explained by a single event.”

But more interestingly, the genetics study found the dead comprised a diverse people: one group of people had genetics similar to present-day people who live in South Asia, while the other “closely related” to people living in present-day Europe, particularly those living in the Greek island of Crete.

Also, the people who came from South Asia “do not appear to come from the same population”.

“Some of them have ancestry that would be more common in groups from the north of the subcontinent, while others have ancestry that would be more common from more southern groups,” says Ms Harney.

So did these diverse groups of people travel to the lake in smaller batches over a period of a few hundred years? Did some of them die during a single event?

No arms or weapons or trade goods were found at the site – the lake is not located on a trade route. Genetic studies found no evidence of the presence of any ancient bacterial pathogen that could provide disease as an explanation for the cause of deaths.

A pilgrimage that passes by the lake might explain why people were travelling in the area. Studies reveal that credible accounts of pilgrimage in the area do not appear until the late 19th Century, but inscriptions in local temples date between 8th and 10th Centuries, “suggesting potential earlier origins”.

So scientists believe that some of the bodies found at the site happened because of a “mass death during a pilgrimage event”.

But how did people from the eastern Mediterranean land up at a remote lake in India’s highest mountains?

It seems unlikely that people from Europe would have travelled all the way from Roopkund to participate in a Hindu pilgrimage.

Or was it a genetically isolated population of people from distant eastern Mediterranean ancestry that had been living in the region for many generations?

“We are still searching for answers,” says Ms Harney.

A multiple personality refers to dissociative identity disorder (DID), a mental disturbance where an individual has two or more distinct personalities. The thoughts, actions, and behaviors of every personality could also be completely different.
People with DID have two or more distinct personalities. They do not present as simple changes in traits or moods. A person with DID expresses significant differences between these alternate identities, which may even be mentioned as alters.
Trauma often causes this condition, particularly during childhood. While there’s no defined cure for DID, long-term treatment may help people combine their personalities into one.
Often, these personalities are completely different from one another . These fragmented personalities take hold of the person’s identity for a few time.
A person also maintains their primary or host identity, which is their original personality, and can answer to their first name . Their primary identity is usually more passiveTrusted Source, and that they could also be unaware of the opposite personalities.When a personality change happens, the new personality will have a definite history, a new identity, and different behaviors.

These split personalities, or alters, often have their own distinct:

• name
• age
• gender
• moods
• memories
• vocabulary

The exact explanation for DID isn’t fully understood. However, there’s a robust link between the condition and trauma. This may be particularly true for trauma or abuse during childhood. In Europe, the us , and Canada, 90% of individuals who experience DID are victims of severe trauma in childhood.
The condition represents someone who struggles to integrate and assimilate certain aspects of their own identity, which become disjointed over time.
When these other personalities take over, they often talk with a special vocabulary, and gesture differently. In some cases, one personality can also devour certain habits that the opposite doesn’t , like smoking, or becoming violent.
In the shift from one personality to a different , an individual may experience other symptoms. Some people can have anxiety, as they’ll be scared of the personality change. Some may become very angry or violent. Others might not notice or remember these transitions in the least , although another person may notice them.
Specific personalities may appear in response to certain situations. These symptoms can cause an individual significant distress, and disrupt their ability to measure their life normally.
A person with DID can also experience symptoms of other conditions, like self-harm. One study notes that quite 70%Trusted Source of individuals with DID have attempted suicide.
It takes time to diagnose DID. Misdiagnosis is common, and doctors got to observe a person’s symptoms, and dismiss other conditions.
To properly make a diagnosis, doctors got to see the various personalities and the way they affect the person.
Time is additionally a crucial think about seeing the complete scale of the symptoms. This is because people that seek help for DID commonly present with symptoms linked to other psychological state conditions.
Additionally, as DID often occurs alongside other disorders, doctors got to rule out the symptoms of other conditions before they create a diagnosis. As such, they’ll prescribe therapies or medications to treat these conditions first.
There is no specific cure for DID. However, many of us can help manage their symptoms and work to integrate their identities through regular psychotherapy. They can also ease the other symptoms with medication.

Behavioral economics studies how individuals behave, and how thinking and emotions affect individual decision making. By adding insights from psychology, behavioral economics tries to modify the conventional economic approach, and to analyze how people act in social contexts. It is the study of psychology as it relates to the economic decision making processes of individuals and institutions.  Rational choice theory states that when humans are presented with various options under the conditions of scarcity, they would choose the option that maximizes their individual satisfaction. It assumes that people, given their preferences and constraints, are capable of making rational decisions by effectively weighing the costs and benefits of each option available to them. The final decision made will be the best choice for that particular individual. The rational individual has self-control and is unmoved by emotions and external factors and, hence, knows what is best for himself. However, behavioral economics explains that sometimes humans are not rational and can’t make good decisions.

As humans are emotional and easily distracted beings, they make decisions that are not in their self-interest. For example, according to the rational choice theory, if an individual wants to lose weight and is equipped with information about the number of calories available in each edible product, he will opt only for the food products with minimal calories. Behavioral economics states that even if he wants to lose weight and sets his mind on eating healthy food going forward, his end behavior will be subject to cognitive bias, emotions, and social influences. Behavioral economics draws on psychology and economics to explore why people sometimes make irrational decisions, and why and how their behavior does not follow the predictions of economic models. It seeks to explain why an individual decided to go for choice A instead of choice B.

Companies are increasingly incorporating behavioral economics to increase sales of their products. As companies begin to understand that their consumers are irrational, an effective way to embed behavioral economics in the company’s decision-making policies that concern its internal and external stakeholders may prove to be worthwhile if done properly. For example, in 2007, Apple priced the first iPhone at $600 but then quickly reduced it to $400. However, If they had introduced the phone for $400, the initial reaction to the price in the smartphone market might have been negative as the phone might be thought to be too pricey. But by introducing the phone at a higher price and bringing it down to $400, consumers believed they were getting a pretty good deal and sales surged for Apple. This is how companies use behavioral economics.
