Is Iconic Framework better over Native Apps?

Is Iconic Framework better over Native Apps?

The age old question that has bogged developers, Is Iconic framework better over Native Apps. Nowadays, there are plenty of ways of having a mobile application as a final product. The most popular solution is building it as native, by using the native language of each platform. The alternative is to choose a cross-platform tool. Using native code leads to superior performance, but has the downside of having two teams to handling the product: one for the Android ecosystem and another for iOS. Cross-platform libraries rely on standard web tools like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, providing native experiences by accessing the native features. The hybrid path has the advantage of increasing the speed of mobile development, by having just one project for both platforms and offering UX consistency across channels.

Ionic Framework is an open-source UI toolkit for building mobile and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) apps using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It provides mobile-optimized web technology-based components as well as native APIs using Capacitor and Ionic Native. It was created in 2013, by the Drifty Co. The original version was released in 2013, built on top of Angularjs and Apache Cordova.In 2019 they launched a version with support for multiple front-ends, including React.js.Today you can build an Hybrid mobile application in Ionic with Angular, React.js, Vuejs, or even with just plain JavaScript.

Now let’s take a look at its advantages:

Pros:

Has a good documentation, since it’s a company specialized in building tools that help companies and developers to make mobile applications.

These tools are well understood by web developers since it uses webview to render the application (letting the developers use day-to-day technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript).

Makes it easy to port the code into a Progressive Web App (PWA), since all the code is built to run in a web browser. Ionic just requires a few extra steps to be able to have one PWA.

Although it has benefits, we can also encounter some challenges in the way, like the ones listed below:

Cons:

Since the organization behind the framework makes a living from it, besides the free-mium features, there are also premium ones that you can only use if you pay an extra cost.

Ionic is built on top of the “web browser”. The application code can’t easily access the native functionalities

With React Native, developers can build mobile applications for Android and iOS platforms using JavaScript, but they can also implement features with native code. It enables cross-platform builds by providing platform-agnostic native components that map into the platforms’ native UI building blocks. It was created in 2015 by Facebook and it is used in many of its products, as for example, the marketplace section of Facebook’s application.

Developers can also build TV applications with React Native. This means that with a few extra steps, it is possible to deliver applications for the Apple TV and Android TV.

Now, lets dive into some benefits of React Native:

Pros

Massive community around the ecosystem. Right now, there are impressive numbers on GitHub repo Facebook/react-native. This means that it’s very likely for developers to find answers to issues or problems they’re facing.

Ability to be integrated into existing native apps, like showed in this presentation. Besides that, it’s also possible to build native modules, making your mobile application’s look and feel as smooth as a native application.

React Native is translated to native code, with the benefit of achieving 60 frames per second. This gives the user the impression of a native app – not slow at all!

It allows developers to deliver applications for Apple TV and Android TV, with only a few extra steps.

Cons:

Since there’s a big private company behind it, new tools are released according to their own needs. However, the community is free to extend the desired features, to achieve what is necessary for both Android and iOS native technologies.

React Native is still beta. Yes, you read it right. Although it was created five years ago, the Facebook team still didn’t have the confidence to bump a “production” release of it. It may sound like: “be aware of the possible risks”.

This often leads to breaking changes in tools and dependencies between versions. But hey, Gmail was almost 5 years in beta and it worked pretty well.

It eventually boils down to the developers’ choice and needs. Since Ionic works with web technologies (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) it fits well in a team that has no background in the native world.

With Ionic, you will have the capability to make great mobile applications, accessing native features like GPS, maps, or audio. These features are ready to be deployed into both Play Store and App Store, with the same effort and expertise that will require to build a web site.

React Native is easily addressed by developers with prior iOS or Android development knowledge. The learning curve for a React developer to understand and debug a React Native application is higher than with Ionic. However, React Native stands with the golden triumph of accessing the native functionalities of the mobile devices, allowing your mobile application to deliver a more native look and feel.

Latest trends in the Women Fashion Industry.

Latest trends in the Women Fashion Industry.

2020 did not bring sexy back but it bring comfort back.2020 was all about comfortable clothing and it seems like 2021 is going to follow the same. Dresses were swapped for PJ’s and heels for slippers. Accessories were swapped for essentials. And the biggest fashion statement was the mask you wore. The future of fashion is happening online, and brands will have to adjust how they create and sell clothing to make it work in a digital world.

With more shoppers taking advantage of online shopping, fashion retailers have to follow suit. Aside from changing Covid-19 restrictions, consumers increasingly prefer the convenience and speed of online shopping, even if it means not being able to try an item on in person. Fuelled largely by Covid-19 changes, fashion is simplifying, both in its styles and in its delivery.

Fashion trends themselves will also become more simplified. With many people working from home and social distancing for the foreseeable future, fashion brands have toned down their styling in favour of comfortable loungewear and clothing that works for sleeping and living. Even after the pandemic, clothing will likely stay simple and comfortable.

The rise of short- form content and marketing- is it good or bad?

The rise of short-form content and marketing- is it good or bad?

A catchy Instagram reel, a provocative twitter post, an infectious slam poetry or just a hilarious meme, you know what all these have in common? Yes, you guessed it right, they are all short form content. The rise in short form content in the past few years has been monument. Even players who have traditionally been making traditional long form content are entering this space, a prime example would be YouTube with YouTube Shorts. Love it or hate it, short form content is here and it is here to stay.

Short form content does all those things long form content does and does it much better and much quicker. Imagine integrating a brand promotion in a 40 minute YouTube video and integrating the  same in a 40 second Instagram reel, the latter has much better reach, retention value as well as easier to integrate. You do not require writing a 4000 word blog promoting a product/service, the same can be achieved with the help of 4 posts on Instagram. Short form Content has revolutionized the way we produce and consume content. Everyone is now a Prosumer, everybody produces as well as consumes content at the same time.

In this age of information overload short form content is the only thing that can cut through the clutter. And if done in an intuitive manner, then even better. With the help of artificial intelligence along with the numerous algorithms marketers now can specifically target their Target Group and achieve conversions. We often see ourselves engrossed in social media, scrolling and scrolling and that is the power of short form content. Even a consumer can now become a producer and that is what makes short form content so alluring.

Often short form content is accused of being cringe and massy. And perhaps to some extent it is but one man’s cringe is another man’s classic. Be it a trending Instagram reel or a quote trending on Twitter short form content has revolutionized the social media space. Remember the ALS ice bucket challenge, the #metoo movement,# the black lives matter movement, #India needs oxygen or even #free Palestine, all social issues of immense magnitude and all were able to have immense reach because of short form content. Short form content reaches people who are absolutely reluctant to go through content which is in any way cumbersome.

Even during this COVID-19 pandemic short form content has been used to spread awareness, locate resources and help the needy. Even marketers who have been sceptical of the same have acknowledged it. Short form content has influenced us and we have influenced it. So what does that mean, Will long form content cease to exist? Both long form content and short form content will continue to exist although one maybe more popular than the other at a particular given time.

Influencer Marketing in 2020: Trends and Strategies of Your Company.


In the era of digital marketing, the rise of influencer marketing in recent years is undoubtedly eye-catching. Influencer marketing trends dominate today’s marketing world.
To understand influencer marketing, let’s look at this example. You have just started to learn about sportswear. The company also wants to advertise their products. You want to target the right audience, and you want people to trust your brand.

How should people trust your product when no one knows your brand?
If someone you trust has a coupon for your product, that person may be a celebrity on various social networks.Someone may be an athlete trusted by your target audience. When these trustworthy people recognize and support your brand, people will notice your brand and show genuine interest in buying. This is an example of influencer marketing. People you know very well. When your friends or family tell you that a place is suitable for making burgers or buying clothes, do you trust these people? Do you want to make a difference? You know this person and their social media activities very well. The most important factor is your trust in these influencers. In the past, celebrities were considered effective influencers. Today, you don’t have to be a celebrity to be an influencer.

How do you organize an influential promotion strategy?
Before doing anything, the main theme you want to try is to develop a methodology for your influencer marketing activities. This will help you get things done at the right time. With the right strategy, you will not be able to track the performance of influencer marketing activities. First, you need to decide to choose the type of platform that suits your niche or brand. Then choose the right influencers and analyze their demographic data. After all, please double check your budget. The platform is the main problem you face. Analyze the network or platform that suits your brand.This is usually necessary because you want to understand that the type of product you sell is currently popular and you plan to make a difference on this social network. For example, fitness products such as serums, vibrators and sportswear are very popular on Instagram. In this way, you can find the right social network that suits your image or product, and locate the right people who are interested in your product. Now that you have found the right platform, it’s time to look for influencers. The challenge for the right influencer in the future is to use the right influencer, check their demographic data, and figure out how they will help you. You need to analyze the influencers associated with your niche, and you need to know that their age and quality differ on open social media platforms. You need to visualize your demographic data and the types of followers. The last thing you should check is that they want followers to be interested in buying your product.You must organize how Internet celebrities can help you promote and sell your clothing and products, on which platforms or networks they promote your brand or in what way, such as through videos or pictures. In the end, the must and challenge is to find everything that fits your budget. For example, if you have a reasonable budget, you will rent out to anyone with a large number of fans. However, with a tight budget, you need to find the right person with good fans. For example, the number of followers of this influencer can be between 10 and 20,000.
The most important thing is the influence of the people you hire on the people you want to position. What is the latest trend of influencer marketing?

POLYTHENE BAGS ARE HARMFUL FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Introduction

Plastic bags are the main cause of plastic pollution. The pollution which is destroying our environment. To reduce pollution plastic bags must be banned. Humans try to decompose them but it does not decompose instead it leads to air, water as well as soil pollution. It is said that plastic bags are the leading causes of increasing pollution.
For this reason plastic bags are banned in various countries. In spite of knowing the consequences, plastic bags are still used widely in most parts of the world making it harmful for the environment.

Plastic bags are readily available in the market and are used widely.These are popular at the grocery stores, markets, etc because they are handy and are comfortable to carry the grocery items like rice, wheat flour, pulses. Apart from grocery items it is used to carry veggies, fruits etc.

It is available in various sizes; these are quite economical and also easy to carry or use. But the cost for using these bags -is overlooked. These bags are costing us our beautiful environment. The plastic bags that we use in our everyday life are very much harmful to the environment. The actual problem is much more severe than it appears to us.

Plastic bags are destroying the soil making our agricultural lands infertile. It also causes several other serious problems. To ensure a cleaner and greener environment many countries have banned the use of plastic bags. Among those countries, India is one of them.

Our country has banned the use of plastic bags in many states. However, the implementation of this rule hasn’t been proper.

These are still available in the market. The retailers provide goods in these bags, and the shoppers gladly take their stuff in these easy to carry bags. And another reason for this does not have a proper option to replace them.

It is time for each one of us to understand the severity of the issue and stop the use of plastic bags.

Plastic Bags – A Boon or A Bane /A Curse?

Plastic bags are lightweight and can be carried anywhere without much effort.

This may sound like a blessing to us, but in reality it is much more harmful than its uses. They get carried away by the wind and water because of its light weight. They end up landing on the seas and water and pollute them. They get stuck in fences and pollute the environment while getting carried away with the wind.

The material used to make plastic bags is polypropylene. This material makes them durable thus making them last for a longer time. This polypropylene is prepared from natural gas and petroleum. They are non biodegradable in nature.
Green-house gases like Methane Carbon, Monoxide, and Carbon Dioxide are released during the production of various plastics products including plastic bags. This is a significant cause of global warming in the world today.

There is a misconception that recycling is an alternative to the misuse of plastic bags but recycling of plastic products cannot be a good choice because only 5% of the plastic bags can be recycled and the remaining 95% find their way in soil, water and landscape causing pollution. Only 35-40 percent of plastic bags are being recycled and the remaining 60% is not even known where it is gone.

As 60% of the plastic bags are not being traced, the producers are forced to produce more products to meet the needs of people. Everyone considers plastic bags as the most convenient bags to carry loads but it has the most harmful effects on human health.
Synthetic substances present in the polythene bags can disturb the typical working of hormones in the body.Most plastic pieces in the seas, like plastic bags, have a few contaminations, for example, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl) together with PAHs (Polycyclic fragrant hydrocarbons), which disturbs the normal function of our hormones.

When the marine creatures eat these synthetic substances, they travel through the food web then later into the people who consume sea animals, especially the fish.

How can we minimize their use?
In many countries across the world plastic bags have been restricted in several nations all over the world.

In many states the Government of India has already restricted the utilization of plastic bags.

Strict measures must be taken to ensure that the use of these bags is stopped. There must be curbs on the production of plastic bags altogether.
Retailers for selling as well as those who are carrying and using plastic bags must be fined.
Good quality plastic available in the market must be made chargeable. This is a good strategy to minimise the use of plastic bags.
To provide a proper alternative of polythene bags is another good strategy. The alternative must be cost efficient and have to be similar in use.

Conclusion
We had often overlooked and underestimated the harmful consequences caused due to plastic bags because we don’t notice the long term effect of these small, easy to carry bags used in our daily life.

People keep on using these bags owing to their convenience. They completely ignore the real fact about these bags that they are harmful for the environment and are a threat to life on earth.

Father’s day

In addition to the fact that dad has to hold down an everyday work, except he is likewise expected to assist when he shows up home, following a monotonous day’s worth of effort. This is what is generally anticipated of the advanced dad, and he is prepared to acknowledge the duty. As a rule, father will be the drill sergeant in the home, so he must be the hero, and the trouble maker. It’s anything but an extraordinarily troublesome occupation surely, and one that we as a whole should be grateful for.

History

Father’s Day was established in the US by Sonora Smart Dodd. Sonora’s dad was a Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, a solitary parent from Arkansas who benevolently brought up six youngsters. Sonora had caught wind of how Anna Jarvis had made Mother’s Day to pay tribute to her mom. Thus, she told the minister of her congregation that there ought to be something almost identical to commend fathers. She needed to respect and recognize the part of fathers and all dad like figures on the date of her dad’s birthday, which was June 5. The congregation didn’t consent to the appeal yet at last, Sonora persuaded individuals to take part. Consequently, the date was pushed, and the festival was in the end conceded to the third Sunday of June.

Significance

Father’s Day recognizes and honors dads’ contributions to their families and to society as a whole. Children have the opportunity to honor their fathers and father figures on this day, as well as all those who have played a significant part in their lives.

On this day, children celebrate paternity by recognizing their father’s efforts and contributions to the family. They shower their father with gifts, touching cards, outings, and dinners to make him feel special.

Some people also spend the day doing things that they can do with their father, such as hiking, fishing, camping, shopping, art and craft, or just hanging around watching TV. In India, most children have a stronger bond with their moms, thus this day provides an excellent opportunity for people to strengthen their bonds with their fathers.

Quotes for Father

Sometimes the greatest way to express your sentiments is to use a Dad quote. Whether you want to express your sentiments to your own father or share with the world how you feel about being a parent, these sincere examples can help.

“Thank God for the unique bond that exists between fathers and daughters. It has received divine blessings.”

“You helped me grow up to be a strong woman, Dad. I am grateful to you for creating a world full of love for me.”

“You’re the bravest person I’ve ever met, Dad. You’ve taught me how to be brave in my heart, mind, and spirit while remaining loyal to myself.”

“A leader, in my opinion, is someone who prioritizes the group’s well-being before his own. Fathers are in the same boat.”

“Fatherly love is the act of devoting your life to meet the needs of another.”

“A girl’s father is her first true love.”

“I never met a man who could compare to my father, and I never loved another man as much.”

“A father’s sorrows and concerns go unnoticed, and his love goes unspoken, but his care and protection remain a rock of strength throughout our lives.”

“She wasn’t alone; what stood behind her, the most powerful moral force in her life, was her father’s love.”

CHILD LABOUR

INTRODUCTION
The best phase of human life is childhood. It is the most innocent phase of our life. In this stage human foundations are laid for successful adult life. In this phase we spend the most cosy, carefree and tension free lifestyle. We pass our time by playing, and leading a tensionless fun life. But there are many children who spend their life supporting themselves instead of spending it in a carefree and fun-loving manner because for them learning and playing are scared and tormented. They are controlled & tortured by others.

They want to get out from this dark world but they are forced to stay in this world. This is the true story of the child labour. Child labour is term that we all heard about in news or in movies.

Child labour is a crime. In some underprivileged families who are suffering from poverty, children are forced to work from a very early age to support themselves economically because they expect their kids to take responsibilities of working and provide food for them.
Industries and individuals take the advantage of their poverty and employ children to put them to work at very low payables.

They are forced to work for long hours in dangerous factories. Sometimes they are forced to carry heavy loads that weigh even more than their body weight.

Then comes some individuals’ who hire children in their house for domestic help. They are so rude that when the children make a single mistake they beat them and torture them physically.

Those children do not get proper food to eat or clothes to wear. Sometimes they are made to starve and given worn-out clothes to wear. This is the story of many children who are suffering in this cruel world.
The average age for a child to be appropriate to work is considered 15 years or more, below this age limit won’t be allowed to indulge in any work forcefully.
Child labour takes away the kid’s opportunity of having a normal childhood a proper education and physical and mental wellbeing in some countries. It is illegal, but still now it is practiced in many countries.

CAUSES OF CHILD LABOUR
The main reasons for the ever-growing child labour are poverty and lack of education.
The parents think that their children are money-making machines. To earn more money by getting sympathy from other people they carry infants on the street begging.
Then when they grow up, they take them and eventually sell them to employers.This is a sickness that is rampant across the length and breadth of India
But other than poverty and lack of education, many other reasons are also responsible for child labour.
Firstly, it is common in those countries where unemployment is more than poverty. When the families are unable to earn enough money to support their lifestyle they put the children to work so they can have enough money to survive.
At the same place if the adults
are unemployed. The younger ones have to go to work. When people are illiterate then it is very common that they will send their children to work. This is because being uneducated all they care about is short term results due to which they send children to work even if the earning is less to survive their present . This destroys the future of children. They also remain uneducated and later after growing up when they start their own family they repeat the same thing as their parents did i.e., sending their children to work at an early age.

WORST CONDITION FACED BY CHILD LABOUR

India is in the second-highest number of child labour after Africa.
The worst employment bfir children is bonded child labour which is also known as slavery for lifetime.
Indian Parliament passed an act on the bonded labour system in 1976 but in spite of this act people still keep on practicing this system. It is estimated that almost 10millions children are victims of the bonded child labour. They work as domestic servants in India. Apart from India, almost 55 millions of children are hired across the world for bonded child labour.
The children are sold to money lenders as a payment of the money borrowed by their parents which they failed to return.
Children living in streets, instead of going to school, work in streets as a beggar, or selling flowers. This also is an example of child labour of different category. They are made to stay without eating food for many days so that people feel sad for them and give some.
Nowadays child labour couples who abuses child has become one of the greatest maladies across the world.
Every year the number of child abuse increases especially in the case of the girl child.This usually happens when someone abuses a girl at home, then to hide this fact her family sell her to an employer or money lenders as domestic help or the girl gets married to a man older than her age.

ERADICATION OF CHILD LABOUR
To eradicate child labour we should formulate some efficient solutions which will save our children. The future of other countries dealing with these social issues will also get enhanced. With the help of this one can create several unions that work to prevent child labour solely. It would help the children to indulge in this work and punish those who make them do it.
Stakeholders must take responsibility
Increased access to education
Provide support for children
Improve economic growth
Engage with the Sustainable Development Goals

Are You Sick Of Politics Too? An in-depth view at the Politically Triggered Anxiety and Electoral Stress that’s hitting Indians

With an age old stigma tailing down it’s path, we Indians generally don’t give as much consideration to our mental health for various reasons as compared to those in the West. In any case, there is a possibility that you heft around some stress about the political course of the country.

The world’s largest democracy voted for five assembly elections recently. With 180 million of India’s 1.3 billion people eligible to cast their votes , a larger strata of its overgrowing population heads out to exercise their biggest power in hands to chose from among various political parties jostling for their accession to throne. Some of you may find your anxiety levels all over the place during the election season. Welcome to the world of Politically Triggered Anxiety and Electoral Stress Disorder that’s hitting the Indians hard and fast.

Profoundly polarized worlds of politics will in general raise the feelings of anxiety of those who fall to be most vulnerable and threatened to it. Yet, on a more larger scale, it could likewise affect anyone who’s owns a cell phone in this news on the go age we all live in..

Election Stress Disorder grabbed global media attention during the run-up to the 2016 US Presidential elections . The American Psychological Association revealed in October 2016 that 57% of Americans admitted that the political environment of the nation is “very” or “fairly huge” source of stress in their lives. The high levels of anxiousness was seen linked to a huge partisan campaign between then Democratic Party candidate Hilary Clinton and her rival Republican Party candidate Donald Trump .In April 2016, the survey led by Washington Post-ABC News uncovered that 69% of Americans felt anxious over the apprehension of Donald Trump being elected the President of the United States. Believe it or not, election-related anxiety is real. No matter where you head to-from social networking sites to heated debates on news channels–there is no escaping from highly charged political discussions. This can be particularly torturing if your political philosophy is at crossroads with those close to you. For many individuals, politics isn’t just about who is overseeing the country yet rather a significant piece of their idealogy. Uncertainty is frequently stressful, and some people are better at dealing with uncertainty than others. Experiencing a pit-like nauseous feeling in the gut, every time there’s political discussions and even the slightest exposure to election talk and media coverage, you could be experiencing election-related anxiety. We Indians too already have enough on our plates with our very own Made in India brand of divisive desi politics and polarization bringing in a lot of stress all of which are only heightens as we trudge closer to the elections every now and then.


Here lies another Indian-ish things — we have a tendency to be the first in everything. The first to discover ‘zero to the first to discover the cure for leprosy, and now the ESD. We have known about it for years now but just didn’t claimed it like the West. In 1997, Jaipur-based psychiatrist Dr Shiv Gautam led a team of three doctors who did a study in Rajasthan and published a paper titled ‘Election – A Stressful Life Event’, analysing near about 54 patients who sought counselling after developing mental health troubles following local panchayat elections in Rajasthan back then, concluding that the elections were stressful not only for the candidates and their campaigners but also the State Election Commission. The researchers followed this up with another study in 2009 and the result was very similar.

There has been an increase of stress and anxiety in economically backward sections. Economically crippled strata of India have been targeted in phases — irrespective of their political beliefs. . The constant uneasiness and uncertainty blanketing the life of a common householder develops into stress and subsequently into anxiety, leading to physiological complications.


According to the Lancet Report, India recorded one of the highest suicide rates among youth globally. A research published in the Asian Journal of Psychiatry, 37.7% of university students in India suffered from ‘moderate’ depression, 13.1% suffered from ‘severe’ depression, and 2.4 % were suffering from ‘extremely severe’ depression, citing the uncertainty of employment and the fluctuating job market as the prime causes.

Mental health professionals pose blame of the barrage of stress-inducing social media brought to Indians , over the advent of social media. News is on every screen and there is an urgency to consume and pass it over it immediately; no time to take in the reality of the news and then react to it because everyone wants to be the first political think tank on social media which is evident on the amount of political, communal and religious propaganda in the media. The fact remains that low levels of digital and media literacy among the general population has been marked as the biggest contributor to the widespread fake news and rapid onset mob-violence scenario, as the recent violent protests over Whatsapp forwards have demonstrated.

As a coping strategy to deal with the anxiety caused by politics, Maryland based therapist and a victim to this stress himself, Dr. Steven Stosny , advises those affected by the election and its aftermath, “to reach out, connect, affiliate and show compassion for those similarly affected. Hold other people’s perspectives alongside your own. Weigh evidence, see nuance, plan for the future and replace blame, denial, and avoidance with the appreciation of complexity.” “Stand up for what you believe. Write letters, demonstrate, lobby — remembering that you’ll be most effective (and feel better) when focused on the change you want to see rather than merely reacting to what you don’t like. For optimal psychological health, take the moral high ground and resist the urge to react to a jerk like a jerk,” Stonsy says.

Bullying in Schools

“To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.-Theodore Roosevelt

Bullying, an unfortunate human activity, has always been prevalent across human society since Neanderthals. The nerdy, scrawny one may not always be the victim or the big burly be the bully. There is no specific type of someone who gets bullied or the way bullying is done despite what may be generally portrayed in movies and on TV.

The term “bullying” covers a broad, encases a myriad of activities, but sums up to targeting an individual who is unlikely to retaliate under the radar, put in control and domination ,shredding their esteem to pieces and making them feel as insignificant as possible. Bullying is intentional, it’s a power grab, and it is repeated. Even the rude and mean behavior, snide remarks made, veiled hostile joking cloaked in ‘playful teasing’ and “just kidding” if all it does is crush someone from inside out. Bullying behavior cuts across all socio-economic, racial/ethnic, and cultural lines. It is estimated that 20 -30 percent of school-age children are involved in bullying incidents, as either perpetrators or victims.

Pupils friends teasing a pupil alone in elementary school

Bullying is a hot button issue for sure, and people feel it is overplayed. This atrocity isn’t an alien to our educational institutions despite the more recent increase in demands to end bullying in schools. As many as 42% of students of Class 4 to 8 and 36% of Class 9 to 12 in India said they are subjected to bullying by peers on school campuses.If all we do is “raise awareness” about bullying rather than teach kids how to respond to it, then guess what happens? They report a lot of bullying but there’s no antidote.

 While the legal and institutional repercussions cause even swing of a fist to get the assaulter land into jail or pending expulsion in schools , bullies have wrestled their way out to vent anger without leaving any physical traces of harm proving it is no cliché that words cause more pain than actions. Aggression that was once channeled into  fist fights and bloodying knuckles and noses has now  dragged on with more silent ways such as exclusion or being talked about behind their backs to make up for the lost thrill of shaming someone.

Bullying once stayed within the confines of school property campus and the dread of  being away from home in the morning to attend eight-hour long torture sessions full of squeamish humiliation had always an end for the day upon returning back to homes. But today unfortunately, technology-equipped bullies possess the evil ability to harass their targets  24/7, right at their fingertips. Cyberbullying is making some researchers rethink the definition of what it means to bully.

Gut wrenching,hurtful words once expected between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. now pierce through anyone’s heart without warning at any hour,just a phone notification away. Even upon leaving school,profanity-spewing texts, and social media comments follow you everywhere like goons, right there,ready to be read and cause the innumerable amount of hurt that has no end to.Bullies may be sitting next to you but prefer to bully through social media for there’s always a wall to hide behind in the cyber world and that way the actions can be viewed by more and they feel a false sense of power and invasion over your personal space.

Today’s problem isn’t  the bullying which we have been familiar with since years, it’s the escape out of the vicious spiral of hate,hurt and harm which is difficult to find. Despite campaigning, bullying itself won’t become extinct, but the safety felt by victims can be increased.

‘Strong people stand up for themselves, but the strongest people stand up for others.’

 It is important that we empower children to morph from a Bystander to Defender. We have to give kids the courage and confidence they need to stand up for others instead of them feeling fear of getting hurt or  feeling powerless against the bully. Stepping in and speaking up is the greatest support a victim could get to tackle the wrong.Parents, school staff, and other adults in the community can help kids prevent bullying by talking about it, building a safe school environment, and creating a community-wide bullying prevention strategy. Parents need to sit down and have a conversation with their kids about bullying and praise them whenever they help someone being bullied.

Cyberbullying shouldn’t lead parents to ban a teen’s social media usage, rather there’s a need to have a room for conversation about how they need to responsible about what they write and post over their feeds and if it hurts anyone’s sentiments and that social media is about interactions with others and not your invitation for people to invade into your privacy.If a child is being bullied, it’s the foremost priority of the parents and teachers to ensure that they know that they don’t feel like a coward or tattletale while talking to someone about it- a trusted friend or another adult to find a solution.

              ” I survived bullying.”

 Let’s work together so no one else has to ever declare this again.

Unite to end bullying!

Self help and personality development

Here is a simple, short definition:

Self improvement is an inner process, which focuses on changing one’s attitude toward oneself and toward the world, and on getting rid of harmful habits and building new good habits.

  • The purpose of this inner process is to improve your behavior and habits, and to create happiness and satisfaction into your life.
  • Another purpose is to improve the ability to cope with the various situations that you encounter in your life.
  • The aims of self-improvement are to learn to adopt a positive mindset, to get rid of negative habits, and to build positive habits and behavior.
  • It is a process to make ourselves better and happier people.

Self-improvement usually starts by becoming more aware of ourselves, our behavior and our reactions. It requires that we earnestly desire to improve ourselves, better our life, and build good relations with people.

The most fulfilling path to success and personal fulfillment comes through the pursuit of your own self-development. The radically successful and happy immerse themselves in self-development and a deep interest in life and relationships. Through self-exploration they remain openly curious and passionate about their self-education and improvement. They hold the belief that they can only learn if they are willing to risk themselves personally and professionally.

Through life’s experiences, good and bad, you become able and ready to be proactive in all your efforts, challenges and successes. You choose to no longer wait for success or happiness or success, you go out and make it happen. Making a commitment to your own development is the first step on the path to living your personal legend.

1. Sense of self.

Self-improvement begins with a keen awareness of who you are, your values, beliefs and the larger purpose you wish to pursue. True satisfaction can only manifest from chasing your own dreams. Life, people and business can be hard and insensitive, so remind yourself that you are more than the sum total of other people’s opinions and continue pursuing what is meaningful to you.

2. Sense of curiosity.

To live successfully, be endlessly curious about all the possibilities your future holds. It is important to have an unquenchable thirst for your advancement and for adventure. Curiosity inspires you to push through the unusually painful trials and errors in your lif5e and business, leading. This type of resiliency is an acquired self-discipline which teaches you to cast your fears aside bringing you to the fullest experience of the adventures success can bring.

Curiosity creates a longing to know more and do more. It inspires that energy which makes it possible to see all situations as opportunities for your advancement. When you approach life and business with a sense of adventure, there is no situation, however limiting, physically or economically, which cannot be filled to the brim with the interest and curiosity of how it will all work out.Without a sense of curiosity it is impossible to grow.

3. Sense of direction.

The more you develop yourself the more pristine you become in achieving what you want. This clarity makes decision-making easier because having a direction improves your ability to prioritize. You know which objectives are important in the short term and which are necessary for your long term.  With a sense of direction you become focused and effective.

There is nothing more organizing to an effort than being focused. Direction provides commitment. It is difficult to commit to something that has no foreseeable future or path. If you are filled with doubt and a lack of clarity there is no way to launch your ideas.  Self-development gives you direction, and thereby, the commitment to achieve your ends.

4. Sense of follow through.

Knowing what you want to achieve makes it easier for you to see the benefits of taking action. Even when the tasks at hand are not enjoyable, seeing the benefit of following through on them, will make it easier to motivate yourself into taking the necessary actions to achieve your set goals. There is much truth in the saying, when there is a will there is a way.

When you are committed to personal development, you always find a way to develop the necessary will. Your idea of success and the vision of what that will look like is where you grab your incentive to always follow through.

5. Sense of urgency.

A sense of urgency drives inspiration. Urgency creates the mindset to work as if your life depends upon it, especially if you have fewer resources than others. When you are the underdog you will dig deep inside yourself for the advances you need in order to thrive.

Urgency causes you activate quickly when making decisions. You get out of your routine and do something different.  It motivates you to get results quickly and efficiently, but it does not eliminate assessment. If want to produce getting results faster you must assess what is and what is not working, then eliminate the efforts which have been identified as wasteful. Keep in mind it is easier to steer a moving object, so if you realize you have made a poor decision, a sense of urgency allows you to adjust. If you wait too long you miss opportunities and chances.

6. Sense of resiliency.

There will be tough times in life and business. When tough times occur, you need the skills and attributes to deal effectively with them. Personal development cannot prevent all bad things from occurring but it helps you deal with obstacles as they surface.

Resiliency teaches you never to view any challenge as the end of the world. Resilience allows you the patience, awareness and fortitude to continue moving forward, even if that means completely changing course.

Self-development deepens your maturity to trust that everything happens for reasons which can only be in line with your best interest.  With this type of mindset, there is no obstacle that will hold you back. You will have greater confidence, pliability, and the personal and interpersonal skills to cope with any obstacle you face in climb up the ladder of success.

7. Sense of connectedness.

Relationships can be double-edged swords. They either lift you up or drag you down. They either bring you closer to your goals or push you further away. When you improve your personal development, you are better able to see which relationships and partnerships are worth investing in and which you need to cut loose. This type of self-awareness gives you the skills to make the best of the relationships which have a positive impact on your life, your business and your overall success.

If you aren’t learning then you aren’t living. Make the commitment to invest in your greatest resource – You. Many people are put off by personal development because it viewed as a weakness or something which shows you do not already possess the skills necessary for success. If you assume you already it all, you will not be happy or successful. The greatest achievers in life and business know the key to success is their ability to manage themselves in a variety of situations. That ability comes through personal development.

FAMILY – LOVABLE BOND

Keerthana Balraj's avatarEduindex

The best gift God has given to all living beings on earth is a family. Getting a happy family is a blessing because not everyone in the world has it. The pleasure of living with your parents, fighting over petty with your siblings can just make you smile the moment you think about it.

My family has always supported me without any claim, from the moral teachings to love and support. For me, my family is like a strong pillar on which I can rely blindly whenever I need support.

A relation is a unique kind of love that gives you all the lessons you need to live a healthy lifestyle.

My family is one of the world’s craziest families. We ‘re four members, my mother, my father, my younger brother, and…
