Online Schooling, Can It Be The Future Of Education?

In addition, online education provides a space for creative learning and developing students’ problem-solving skills. Therefore, online learning will continue to grow and become popular among students if universities have already incorporated it into traditional education. Online learning has countless benefits that can help those who choose it over a more traditional education. Put education at your fingertips. Online learning allows you to pursue your education later in life, for example, if you are working full-time but want to continue your education.

As mentioned above, online education is flexible, allowing you to set your own pace of study and customize courses to fit your schedule, but at the same time, it is flexible and everyone can learn according to their abilities. y Needs and skill levels. Online learning allows teachers and students to set their own learning pace and adds the flexibility to set a schedule that fits everyone’s agenda. Online learning and e-learning are flexible, allowing teachers and students to set the pace at which they can easily understand things.

Online learning reduces learning gaps for students as students can always view pre-recorded lessons at their leisure to resume lessons they missed due to illness, death in the family or other reasons. While a teacher may still need to include real-time online lessons as part of the curriculum requirements for their students that can be distributed around the world, most lessons are automated, allowing students to learn on their own using a screen. Nowadays, it has become one of the most popular and popular learning tools, and it is also quite easy and convenient to conduct a lesson online rather than offline. For some, this may be more effective than traditional activities; to others, it may seem like a waste of time to get an online education, and they believe that face-to-face education will benefit them more.

There is no doubt that online education will soon become an important part of educational institutions around the world, but the focus should be on quality education for all, including the poor and disadvantaged. Perhaps this type of learning will somehow alleviate the problems we have faced in education over the last century. I am optimistic that this type of education will help address the injustice our students suffer and create a sense of greater equality, as well as help to cope with the ever-increasing number of students suffering from mental health problems, which are greatly exacerbated in schools that they visit. . Meanwhile, educators are learning how to provide a rich learning experience through virtual contacts and online resources.

Teachers tailor learning to the needs of each student, rather than moving forward or slowing down to fit class schedules, which inevitably results in students falling behind or getting bored waiting for classmates to catch up.

The transition to digital learning makes it clear that children don’t necessarily need a traditional classroom to learn and achieve academic success. Children can use online libraries, online courses, educational websites, Wikipedia, and even regular websites to learn new things every day. Students and educators are finding innovative ways to combine online lectures and courses with similar educator and learning resources.

At the college level, online learning is cheaper than regular schools, which is more beneficial for college students on a budget, as they can save on housing, textbooks, transportation, and more. However, this cost reduction has not affected the quality of online education, which is a win-win situation for students who choose online education over college. These benefits are one of the reasons many believe that online learning will be the future of education. All in all, I believe e-learning is the future, despite its drawbacks (obesity due to lack of exercise, mental disorders that may result from separation, access to hate speech, fake news, porn, etc., but that’s for another article) undoubtedly A booming industry, both in college and as more and more parents homeschool their children.

While the classic face-to-face style of learning will not disappear anytime soon, many people recognize the benefits of online education, while others suggest that it is the future of education. It’s not that face-to-face classes are completely gone given all the downsides that can come with online classes, only that online may end up being the preferred option for learning in the future.

The fast growing online network is sure to be the future of education in many ways. The growth of online classes due to the COVID-19 lockdown has helped a lot with the overall vision for the future of education. In 2020, it increased even more due to the unprecedented COVID-19 epidemic, which made it impossible for schools to function normally. Despite everything, professors and students of all higher educational institutions have slowly begun to gravitate towards online learning. With this sudden exit from the classroom in many parts of the world, some are wondering if the adoption of online learning will continue after the pandemic and how such a shift will affect the global education market.

To begin with, more and more higher education institutions are implementing or strengthening their online learning platforms, the main considerations of which are to reduce student costs and increase hiring in an increasingly competitive environment. More and more universities are using online platforms in their learning, and students who have chosen traditional education have not yet participated in any virtual learning, such as with Moodle or Blackboard. But let’s put aside actual learning for a moment and highlight the many practical effects of distance learning, many of which are used in schools and universities that have moved to online learning.

The shift to online learning also means less need for huge university parking spaces that take away green space. With online learning, schools can open up classrooms to more students from different locations, including those who don’t live in the area or who might not otherwise be able to get to school in person.

New programs offer teachers more effective ways to deliver education and students the opportunity to interact and learn, including innovations from students interested in connecting better online when they can’t be together in person7. for online learning, enhancing the ability of teachers to learn from each other as they adapt to a new teaching and learning paradigm. In recognition of the shift to online learning, administrators from some of the country’s largest school districts have indicated they are specifically looking for teachers with the skills to teach students online. find highly coveted jobs in US school districts, supervising a wide range of students at all levels of education. Because online learning is so flexible, our high school students can sign up for meaningful internships that teach valuable professional skills and encourage career planning.

Reservation of seats – a threat to the population

India is one of the most populous countries among the rest. There is a change of cycle from past to present. People’s lifestyles and living patterns have changed and along with that the leap of authorization. The term reservation is nothing new, it is running for a long period. History speaks that people in past have faced discrimination in name of caste, crude, and sex. Although the terms have been given by humans themselves still some communities faced bias. Before independence, there was a hierarchy of class where different people were put into a different class box. According to a person is brahmin or Dalit they were given task and place to live. No doubt backward class people had to suffer a dark past. An individual was not allowed to touch the bowl of brahmin because it was a symbol of impurity. People behaved and formed a mentality among themselves that, if one belongs to the lower caste they should behave like a slave and if one is from an upper class, they should lead a glamorous life. The long injustice within a certain community was not justified. And due to this, after independence, the new government introduced a reservation system. Needless to say, the reservation policy was a much-needed gift to the people who mostly suffered from the unfairness. A scheme for ST, SC, OBC, and the backward class was initiated to empower them and ensure their participation in the decision-making process. Reservation was applied in the job sectors, education field, and economic field as well.The issue that arises at present time is that “whether there is a need for reservation in 2021?”. With a lot of discussions and eye-witnessed scenarios, it can be said that there is a demand for change in the system. No doubt we can’t repay the injustices that happened in the past but looking at the present picture it is becoming very hard for the common people to survive in this race. The change in a generation has led to great progress in all communities irrespective of caste or class. A Dalit man like Raja Nayak has turned his business to 60 crores. He currently serves as President of the Karnataka chapter of Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industries (DICCI) and runs schools and a college under the banner of Kalani Ketan Educational Society for the underprivileged and disadvantaged sections of society. So, it is in itself is the sign of change.Thus, it’s a request and a demand from the commoners to revise the scheme and at least serve all people equally. We see a student committing suicide just because she could not reach the cutoff and some others with less number book the seat because he/she is from a reserved category. A qualified employee has to lose his chance because that seat is for some other category person. If this is not partiality then what is? The revival of a year-long plan could change the whole picture and could provide justice. After all, people want democracy and not quotacracy.

Online Education and Work from home: Have we arrived in virtual world?

In the recent years, the life of human beings have been greatly stirred by the Covid-19 pandemic and still continues to do so, no area is left unaffected. As the disease spreads from contact between individuals, it is essential to maintain distance and thus the people are compelled to be confined inside their homes. The students and the working class have seemingly been afflicted more. The modern era is changing fast with times. Today is the digitalization age, where everything is computerized and programmed. The education sector is also at par with the digitalization. Throughout the world, online learning is of great significance today. It has become convenient for the students to attend classes from the comfort of their houses. The working class is also relieved from travelling everyday to the place of their work. Due to the pandemic, the state of being alone and separate is being experienced by the population worldwide. In order to eliminate this loneliness, it somewhat becomes necessary to interact with the surrounding. Technology has played a vital role in it by creating an environment of interaction and relationship via online mode of learning and building healthy relationship at work by the initiative of work from home. ” Man is a social being”, rightly said by a well known philosopher Aristotle.

This pandemic has led to closure of schools, colleges and various educational institutions for about more than an year now. Around 1.2 billion children are barred from classrooms today. Consequently, a new era of e-learning has come into existence imparting knowledge at various cyber platforms. ‘Bharat Padhe Online Campaign’ was launched by the Indian government to lessen the educational loss due to the pandemic crises. There is great demand of education in online mode and subsequently cost free learning services are being provided by a number of digital learning platforms such as Unacademy, GradeUp, BYJU’S etc. Online education has proved to be time saving and a better mechanism for imparting knowledge at large scale. Quality education is easily available to all. The online dependence has also reduced the necessity of copies and books ,thus being beneficial to the environment. Taking into account the current situation of the world, the online education has proved to be a boon. The road ahead is seemingly bright and many more revolutions are believed to come in the sector of education but it is required to be adopted with care.

In order to make one’s life easier, various innovations and services came into existence. The most adaptive initiative that came into being is work from home, allowing the employees to work to operate online at the ease of their homes. Working in a household environment provides much more flexibility and satisfaction in work. It has also helped to create a better balance between work and life, by encouraging oneself to plan not only a suitable work schedule but also a schedule for spare time as well as a holiday.

“If working remotely is such a great idea, why isn’t everyone doing it? I think it’s because we’ve been bred on the idea that work happens from 9 to 5, in offices and cubicles. It’s no wonder that most who are employed inside that model haven’t considered other options or resist the idea that it could be any different. But it can.”
– Jason Fried

One can organize the task along with the time, taking into account their requirements and wishes personally. Subsequently, no resources are required in addition to form a place for work. Work from home is proved to be cost-effective for both the employees as well as the company, there is no need for any individual to travel from one place to another. Thus, it saves both time and money. However, it solely depends on the individual to carry out their task the way they want, making the work more productive.

In this contemporary age, technology has spread its wings far wide. The online mode of office work and education was only functioning during the pandemic period when all the educational institutions and offices were closed. By the advancing of digital era, the employees were allowed to work virtually from home and maintain their routine of work without going to their workplace. A sight of the working of the virtual world is seen in this pandemic. Such virtualization has greatly helped us to operate from the comforts of our homes and also helped in saving time and money. Online education is in great demand and trend today and in near future it would replace the traditional classroom teaching mechanism. The virtual world came into light a long time back but today its existence is widely recognized all over the world.

Thus, these are clear indications that post-pandemic revolutionary changes would be observed in the sector of education and working class and in the future ahead remote learning would be irresistible and more virtualization would perceive.

SO YOU WANNA BE A WRITER

the wave of bukowski’s poem that took me to sail.

if it doesn't come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don't do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,
don't do it.
if you have to sit for hours
staring at your computer screen
or hunched over your
typewriter
searching for words,
don't do it.
if you're doing it for money or
fame,
don't do it.
if you're doing it because you want
women in your bed,
don't do it.
if you have to sit there and
rewrite it again and again,
don't do it.
if it's hard work just thinking about doing it,
don't do it.
if you're trying to write like somebody
else,
forget about it.
if you have to wait for it to roar out of
you,
then wait patiently.
if it never does roar out of you,
do something else.
if you first have to read it to your wife
or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
or your parents or to anybody at all,
you're not ready.
don't be like so many writers,
don't be like so many thousands of
people who call themselves writers,
don't be dull and boring and
pretentious, don't be consumed with self-
love.
the libraries of the world have
yawned themselves to
sleep
over your kind.
don't add to that.
don't do it.
unless it comes out of
your soul like a rocket,
unless being still would
drive you to madness or
suicide or murder,
don't do it.
unless the sun inside you is
burning your gut,
don't do it.
when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.
there is no other way.
And there never was.

Charles Bukowski was a prolific German-American writer. Experience, emotion and imagination influenced Bukowski to start writing in his thirty-fives. His works portray his intention to write with sore truthfulness and with no apologies. But we are not here to discuss a poet’s life. We are to reflect on it. I recently came across this poem of Bukowski and felt that my obscure writer’s intention and instinct must be put to thought.

Every industry is on its course of development. This verb ‘writing’ works in an industry now. Most of the notable works we cherish and take refuge in now took years and decades to edit and rewrite, take for example, The prophet by Khalil Gibran; and now one ought to get ready with his/her idea and text in few days or in just few hours. I have never seen this letting a writer bring up a masterpiece or even permitting the writer to go for his gut. Those writers who gave us classics to enjoy wrote as if their life depended on it. I wanted to write because I enjoy doing it. And I must admit it to myself, the reality in mind and the reality in life are different and conflicting in themselves.

Thousands of articles, thousands of blogs get published in a day. But relevant and authentic are few. Which one to trust? The information is simply clogging internet and that information is clogging our mind. This generation is informative, true, but lacks knowledge. Internet, through its many formats provides information, extracting knowledge from it is what a wise does. And that one wise man puts it for experience and reflection. We humans must learn to be more accustomed to knowledge and wisdom rather than simply flowing with information that comes handy.

We are taught to write for marks in school, if we instinctively choose to become writers, then we write for money, recognition and also because we love writing. But for many, does it come from soul? The text must sprout from experiences, from imagination, from emotions, from self-actualization but it often sprouts from information itself. Some things come naturally and some with practice, what comes naturally and is practiced is language of the soul. We humans are creating less of the truth and simply summarizing and summarizing. It takes time for indistinct ideas to sprout and it takes more time for it to grow into stem, branches, flowers and fruits. And I am curious, do we give ourselves that much time? Or to put it this way, do we make for ourselves and for the art the required time?

CONCLUSION

With everything technologically advancing, skills and work ethic must develop as well. And here we need to understand that individualistic and subjective approach is fine, but at the same time we must learn to adopt holistic approaches towards work and life. Art is created that way.

Let’s write as our life depends on it, for we, could give a life to our readers and not just a side-hustle for both.

Should student’s textbooks be replaced by notebook computers?

We don’t have to stop using textbooks, each has its pros and cons, and they are better suited to a given situation. We just have to use them in a healthy way, mostly electronic devices that are more likely to get someone added.

We must understand that this can and cannot be replaced, it mainly depends on the person who uses the electronic device and what applications are used. Students should be aware of the potential dangers of using these devices and how to avoid them. Computers should not replace textbooks because the use of computers reduces concentration, increases learning costs, and creates physical health problems.

With so many distractions, using a computer to study has a negative impact on students’ ability to focus on their work. Computers give students a lot of freedom, allowing them to deviate from a lesson planned by teachers, or even access sources with incorrect information. Students with below-average reading skills may find it difficult to keep up when they have to read everything from a textbook.

However, in order to learn effectively, textbooks must always be at the center of a student’s academic journey. Textbooks play an important role in a student’s learning process over the course of many years. Textbooks provide students with a way to learn about physics and help them process information in a way that is easier than on a screen. Each chapter of the textbook builds on what students have learned before so they have all the information they need to understand what is being taught.

Textbooks are limited in what they can offer students beyond the text and images on the page, and tablets offer users the ability to take notes and highlight without ruining the next student’s textbook. Students can easily avoid reading and analyzing text on their own because they can quickly look up passages in e-textbooks and search for answers online. Students are used to finding information electronically rather than manually reading textbooks. But Notepad makes it easier and easier for them to find the information they need, and they can get help with Google Search to find the answer.

You mean, students are willing to carry any outdated textbooks with them if they want to bring a computer or laptop and keep the details they need. The increasing use of tablets in place of printed textbooks will also help students have “light backpacks.” The tablet also offers a built-in dictionary, so students can easily look up words they don’t know without leaving the textbook. There are thousands of educational and instructional apps on the tablet, so teachers can tailor student learning to individual style/personality rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

As the popularity of tablets grows, many schools are debating whether to move from textbooks to tablets or introduce a personalized program on one computer that all students in the district can use. As tablets become more popular, many schools are debating whether to switch from textbooks to tablets and are also introducing one-on-one (one device per student) programs in their districts. Since everyone is always holding some sort of tech gadget in their hands, the idea that tablets are replacing textbooks in schools makes sense to a lot of people. Our society revolves around technology, so if we replaced textbooks and notebooks with laptops, students would be more motivated to complete their schoolwork because they are using something more modern instead of old and boring books.

While I was reading this, I realized that if students actually use computers instead of textbooks, this could lead to students visiting social networking websites or just other websites that are not recommended in school, such like gaming websites or even inappropriate websites. places. As you can see, the concentration of students would be significantly reduced due to the use of a computer instead of a textbook. On the contrary, it can be assumed that these students who did not use computers as textbooks were probably much more focused and could concentrate and understand the concept contained in the school textbook. Many high school students would agree that using laptops would be easier, more functional, and more efficient than using textbooks and laptops.

Second, if students use laptops instead of notebooks, workbooks, and textbooks, they will be more focused and organized in class because our generation prefers modern technology over old, boring and used ones that aren’t even updated Information textbook. .If students have access to textbooks instead of textbooks, workbooks, and textbooks, they will be more focused and organized in the classroom because our generation prefers modern technology to old, boring textbooks that aren’t updated with new information. Most high school students agree that writing from textbooks is easier, more effective, and more effective than writing from textbooks and notebooks.

With tablets for teaching in schools, students won’t have to learn from old and outdated textbooks, especially in ever-changing areas of study like computer science. With tablets for teaching in schools, students no longer need to learn from old and outdated textbooks, which is especially important for frequently changing fields of study, such as computer science.

Firstly, the amount of paper each school uses each year is killing many trees, and if we continue to use textbooks and paper instead of laptops, we will lose many trees, which will lead to even more air pollution and may deprive many habitats. animals. Therefore, based on these facts, it is recommended to replace textbooks with laptop computers, as this will make work more relaxed and, at the same time, increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the functioning of researchers and home students around the world.

In a school environment, if computers or tablets are used and controlled appropriately, they can greatly improve student achievement. The tablet is more convenient in studying for students. Increased use of tablets instead of printed textbooks could help lighten school backpacks.

In addition to notebooks and binders, students should also bring pencils, pens, and spare paper. What I mean is that students are less willing to carry around any outdated textbooks and instead want to take a lighter notebook where they can store all the information they need. Textbooks usually cost about a hundred dollars or more, but information quickly becomes outdated and schools have to raise more money to buy up-to-date textbooks.

With portable computers, textbook publishers and teachers will be able to more easily edit and update information in electronic copies of texts. Now laptops are designed not only to easily download the latest updates on certain topics, but also to allow students to learn new information without having to buy new books every time.

Using a laptop, students can use computer-based tools such as Microsoft Office documents, Google Docs, PDFs, slide presentations, and infographic tools. They may have up-to-date information, and using laptops is much cheaper than buying expensive books.

Practice yoga every day and repetition will enhance the physical and mental health benefits, creating an even deeper spiritual connection. Yoga is a great way to improve strength, flexibility and balance.

To help you better understand the benefits of yoga, we’ve looked at the many ways your practice can heal the mind, body, and spirit. There is a growing body of research showing that yoga practice can help reduce many types of chronic pain. Other studies have shown that yoga can help improve sleep quality, improve spiritual well-being, improve social function, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in cancer patients (18, 19). Many believe that yoga can also help relieve stress and improve mental clarity.

Yoga is often associated with meditation because it helps relax the mind and encourages participants to rethink. There is no doubt that yoga can fully develop a calm, stress-free mind and body when practiced from the heart and with sincerity. It also helps balance and integrate the mind, body and spirit, improving energy flow and stimulating the body’s natural healing process.

This holistic and powerful mind-heart approach to healing the body is explored through targeted yoga poses known to have beneficial effects on the body. We offer ongoing group yoga classes and private yoga therapy sessions with a focus on the health and wellness of the mind and body.

The change in current of philosophy

Introduction
Early references
The conditions to mastery
conclusion

Many question the relevance of philosophy in current times. Every other subject or field of study is given due importance- physics, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, geology, psychology, you name it! then why has philosophy dropped to simply graduate academics which very few people choose that too while being concerned about its scope and relevance in career and life. It is a matter of fact that all fields, if not all then majority have evolved from philosophy. The theories that have been expanded were once mere philosophical thought. For instance, the Archimedes principle.

This is where we need a change in perspective and practice.

Philosophy is to be studied, not for the sake of any definite answers to its questions, since no definite answers can, as a rule, be known to be true, but rather for the sake of the questions themselves.
Bertrand Russell, Problem of Philosophy

Philosophy, from Greek translates to love of wisdom. it involves rational, abstract and methodical consideration of reality as a whole, viewing it from multiple dimensions. Curiosity, rationality and abstractive are salient characteristics of philosophical thought. Philosophy, in primeval civilizations was considered to be art of living and not a subject of arts. Choosing a school, in that time, meant adopting their view of life and abiding by their ideals and practices. The school designed its students like an artist would design his piece of art. The schools of thought facilitated transformation of being and search for the eternal truth that would set human free from bondages and discover the intangible with its gifted intellect. Abilities were developed and put to test in these schools. The students were deeply engrossed in enquiry of reality both natural and abstract and its exportation to practice.

Early references suggest that philosophy then was more intuitional, though it indicates a thought system acquired by intuitive experience and sustained by logical argument. Just like the Greeks term philos as love for wisdom; Indians call philosophy as Darshana and the field as darshan shastra. The word darshan in itself is vague but philosophically it means putting intuition to proof and propagating logically. A darshan is a spiritual perception, a whole view revealed to the soul sense. This soul sight, which is possible only when and where philosophy is lived, is distinguishing mark of a true philosopher. Only purity of soul can make a triumphant philosophy and an awakened philosopher. This purity is based on profound acceptance of experience, realized only when some point of hidden strength within man, from which he can not only inspect but comprehend life, is found. Philosophies arise from experiences of senses and soul and involves adroit introspection.

Philosophy seeks truth and the one in practice is a philosopher. The seeker after truth must satisfy certain essential conditions before he sets out on his quest. Samkara, in his commentary on first sutra of the Vedanta Sutras, makes out the four conditions essential for any student of philosophy.

Sri Samkara was a marvelous genius. He was a master of logic. Samkara’s philosophical conquests are unique in the world.  He expounded the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta.

The first condition is knowledge of the distinction between the eternal and the non-eternal.This means having a metaphysical bent that will not accept all it sees to be absolutely real and justified. There must be a questioning tendency in the inquirer and the spirit to probe all things, a burning imagination which could extract truth from mass of apparently disconnected data. The student must have a habit of meditation which allows him remain focussed.

The second condition is the subjugation of the desire for the fruits of action either in present life or a future one. It demands renunciation of all petty desires, personal motive and practical interests. The philosopher is a naturalist who should follow the movement of things without exaggerating the good and belittling the evil based on his prejudices. So, it is said that he must have no love of present or the future. Clear thinking and honest judgement must be developed.

To achieve a modest temper, he must suffer a change in heart, where a student is meant to acquire tranquillity, self-restraint, renunciation, patience, peace of mind and faith. This counts the third condition which asserts that only a trained mind which utterly controls the body can inquire and meditate endlessly till the end of life, never losing sight of the object and not for a moment letting it obscured by any terrestrial temptation. Such a courage to lose all for his highest end has to be developed. Physical and mental difficulties are to occur and in the midst of all suffering, he must build discipline. A spiritual discipline which includes pitiless self-examination will enable the seeker to reach his end of freedom.

The fourth condition is the desire for moksha or release. The one who has renounced all his material desires and is metaphysically minded has only one devouring desire to achieve the end or reach the eternal.

CONCLUSION

Men have become so sceptical to trust their own decisions and judgements of life that they take refuge in scriptures, authority and tradition. Little do we create our own for ourselves and mankind. The early geniuses – the philosophers, comprehended experiences on behalf of mankind, so the latter are eternally grateful to them. So, Question yourself and introspect how am I a philosopher? beacuse –

“The unexamined life is not worth living”
– Socrates

Indian Philosophy by S. Radhakrishnan

Youth Source Of Endless Energy.

Nathan Thomas, who was president of the Raleigh Midtown Rotary Club at age 23 and will become district governor in 2022-2023, witnessed the joy firsthand. Thomas, now 27, founded All We Are, a non-profit organization that oversees the Solarize Uganda Now (SUN) project. Working together, they secured a $2,000 grant from the clubs committee on international affairs to install LED lighting at a school and shelter for underprivileged young women in Uganda.

He invented the “International Youth Party” because it symbolized the movement and was a good pun. Abby Hoffman and the Yippies first proposed a “Festival of Life” in the park prior to the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

First, it was intended to strengthen the reputation of the coal industry. Second, it was designed to secure coal as the main source of energy in today’s post-war society. It is one of nine paintings in a series commissioned in 1945 by the Coal Institute and the Benton and Bowles advertising agency. In this context, we might wonder what place this 1945 work occupies, which supposedly glorifies the power of industry over the common people, the workers.

It’s all about attitude, they say, as if attitude itself isn’t determined by energy. It often turns out that it is energy, strength and motivation that are not enough to achieve goals. Only the right profession can become an endless source of energy and strive for continuous improvement. The dedication, hard work and desire for knowledge of young people will not only help them lead a fulfilling life, but will also become their contribution to society.

It is important to recognize the role of young people in the success story and to educate and motivate them to build a better society. Hence, it is well said that youth is the powerhouse and storehouse of infinite energy and the pride of society. Our budding youth are seen as the future power as the leader of the nation. Needless to say, promising young people are seen as the future power as the leader of the nation.

They make the best decisions in life and are full of spark, courage, and work to bring about positive change in society. Youth activism is participation in a community organization for social change. If anyone can view young people as a national savings account, he should know that today it is like an investment, he will benefit from it in the next few years.

An immense amount of energy, feelings and enthusiasm in the blood, passion in the body, will know that these are the qualities of a young man. But a young person turns these hardships, stresses and problems into responsibility, passion and will, and this is the power of energy that young people have. The burden can be stress at work, money problems, not being able to get the job you want, not being able to do exactly what you want, being rejected, choosing the wrong path, etc.

In the battle of life, problems and difficulties will arise at every moment of life. Only young people can easily deal with these difficulties and win the battle of life. My hope is for you, “Imagine the power of boundless energy that a young man has, a great man putting his hopes in his youth. You can be young, smart, and hopeful, but if you feel it 100% of the time Frustrated and lethargic, then all your youth and potential is meaningless. Without the energy and ability to act and fulfill, all your best intentions don’t count as licking.

Energy is fuel. It inspires all the good things in life, whether it’s creativity, productive work, innovative solutions to life’s problems, personal development, rich relationships with others, or simply having a strong body, a clear mind and intense happiness from emotional well-being. The great thing about energy is that it nourishes and encourages oneself in a certain way. Energy, whether mental or physical, is like your personal life context.

You can think of energy as the most primitive and fundamental type of wealth. After all, we are all living beings; we are all organisms that need energy to work, move, communicate, and live. It doesn’t matter how many other good things happen in your life; if you don’t have the energy to interact with them properly, appreciate them, bring them to life, it’s like there are none of those good things at all.

The idea that you can train, train, or even heal in a constant state of enthusiasm, charisma, and contentment lends an air of devotion to the energy appreciation dance. Individuals endowed with it may attribute this to their virtue, perseverance, or self-discipline, and sometimes use the descriptor “low energy” as mild, as if Eeyore are contagious. Or it could be kindness, consideration, optimism, humor, the ability to make other people feel good.

The energies of B. and M. are of different types that you project or perceive in others, but are related. It is clear that despite our best efforts, energy is not distributed evenly due to heredity or fate, nature or upbringing. Victini (Pokemon) can generate unlimited energy that he can share with others to ensure absolute victory.

By removing his Inhibitor Rings and becoming a Shadow of Chaos, Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog) can absorb an infinite supply of Chaos Energy, becoming a raw and uncontrollable dynamo of power. Using food immersion, Toriko can absorb and store more nutrients from food in his body than normal, allowing him to store an almost unlimited amount of energy and survive for abnormal periods of time without food or water. Jugosa’s (Naruto’s) body constantly absorbs natural energy, providing him with an infinite supply of life energy to use at will, although it also corrupts his sanity from time to time.

The energy of this water cycle, which is powered by the sun, can be used to generate electricity or for mechanical activities such as grinding grain. Since the water cycle is an endless and constantly recharged system, hydroelectricity is considered a renewable energy.

There are various types of hydroelectric power plants; they all feed on the kinetic energy of the water flowing downstream. Turbines and generators convert energy into electricity, which is then fed into the power grid for use in homes, businesses, and industries. Aerobic metabolism uses oxygen from the blood as a way to produce energy.

Specifically, the researchers looked at how energy production and recovery rates after exercise differ between children (young male participants aged 8 to 12), endurance athletes, and adults who were not trained athletes.

In the lab, he hooked up subjects to an oscilloscope (one of them was the young Willy Brandt, future chancellor of West Germany) and, using a microscope, discovered pulsating particles he called “bions”, which he said were the source of a mysterious life force called orgone. . Rockwell Kents’ Infinite Energy for Infinite Life presents the vital role of man in turning coal into energy.

Need To Inculcate Healthy Dietary Habits

At the family level, recommendations for feeding infants should include information about their nutritional needs and strategies to promote healthy eating behaviors, including recognizing hunger and satiety cues in children and using appropriate food interactions. by modeling and avoiding stress and conflict while eating. When children switch to a family diet, the recommendations are not only about food, but also about the nutritional context. Healthy eating is not only about including healthy food in children’s diets. Healthy eating is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and should be taught from an early age.

A healthy diet and proper eating habits for your children can help them become stronger, healthier and more immune. Following a weekly meal and snack plan can also instill disciplined eating habits from an early age. Eat with them. Eating healthy, nutritious food like a family with kids can really help instill healthy eating habits in them. In addition, family meals are an opportunity for parents to introduce their children to new foods and become role models for healthy eating.

Kids love the predictability of family meals, and parents have the opportunity to keep up with their kids. Family meals together are how children learn to choose healthy foods and learn table manners. If you insist that the children sit with you, even if they are not ready for solid food or refuse to eat, they will begin to learn the rules of the dinner.

Educate your little eaters about healthy eating and the different types of essential nutrients and let them enjoy their meal. Make it easy for kids to choose healthy snacks by keeping fruits and vegetables ready to eat.

Do not buy single servings of snacks, yogurt and other products that cost more. Instead, buy in bulk or more and divide into smaller portions as needed.

Stick to real foods like vegetables, fruits, nuts, lean meats, low-fat dairy and whole grain pasta, rice, and bread. Eat a diet that is 45% carbs, 30% protein, and 35% fat that is good for you: olive oil, fish, or nuts. While you want to eat 5 to 6 meals and snacks a day, don’t overeat at any of your meals and make sure you choose healthy, nutrient-dense foods. Pay attention to when and what you eat, and pay attention to your behavior and feelings associated with food.

That way, you’ll be more likely to eat healthier foods and less likely to eat unhealthy foods. Instead of focusing on what you shouldn’t eat, think about what you can add to your plate to improve your health, like walnuts for heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids or raspberries for fiber and antioxidants. By eating fruits and vegetables rather than overeating less nutritious things, you are sending the right message.

Eating healthy foods and staying physically active can help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight and feel better. You may also find that moving more and eating better can help you cope with the demands of your busy life and be around the people who depend on you. By making healthy lifestyle choices together, you may find it easier to move more and eat better.

You can go for a walk after dinner or play frisbee with your kids. Just 15 minutes of light physical activity within 30 minutes of eating can help you reach your calorie expenditure goal, curb late-night cravings that lead to snacking, and may even help you sleep better. Research shows that optimistic people are more successful at changing their behavior, including healthy eating and weight loss. Your family, friends, and colleagues can be a great source of support as you strive towards healthier habits. Not only can our physical health improve when we prioritize healthy eating. Healthy eating can stabilize children’s energy, sharpen their minds, and even out their moods.

It also helps children feel good, maintain a normal weight, and have enough energy to go to school and play. A balanced diet is the key to a healthy diet because it provides children with the nutrients they need to grow. Regular meals throughout the day are essential to keep your child active and help them focus while they study. Some kids in this age group are still fussy, so offer them a variety of regular foods, meals, and snacks, and let them eat according to their appetites, without forcing or arguing. If children are allowed to eat according to their appetite, they can decide how much food they need for activity and growth.

Meal sizes vary because the amount of food a child needs depends on what else they eat during the day. Children continue to learn new cooking techniques and ideas when dining out. They can participate in the preparation of packed lunches and help their caregivers prepare healthy meals. Their “job” is to ensure that children are served healthy meals on a predictable schedule in a pleasant environment. 39 By developing meal schedules, caregivers can help children learn to predict when they will eat. Babies need three healthy meals and two snacks for physical development and immunity.

However, many can testify that getting children to eat healthy food is not always easy. Parents who teach their children about healthy eating from an early age can have a positive impact on their children’s eating habits later in life. Over the years, researchers have found evidence that eating behaviors and eating habits in early childhood affect the food preferences and eating patterns of children in adulthood.

Healthy eating during adolescence is important because changes in the body during this period affect a person’s nutritional and dietary needs. Instilling good eating habits in children can be very easy for parents if they set the right example. In addition to the level of education, an important element in achieving a healthy diet is the internalization of eating habits that make it possible.

We have seen that these habits increase with the age of the respondents. First, we noticed that with age, the socio-economic and living situation of the respondents stabilizes, which contributes to their eating habits becoming more regular and healthy, and at the same time, the awareness of the respondents of the need to lead a more regulated and healthy lifestyle increases. Thus, as the study “The influence of age and gender identity on the health of university students in eating in Spain”, on which this article is based, shows, all respondents know what a healthy diet is due to their high educational level. In particular, students who are most interested in healthy eating are also most concerned about buying foods that they believe are healthy.

Causes Of Stress On The Modern Generation

Many sufferers experience feelings of “stress,” anxiety, and discomfort without an easily identifiable cause. Some people are stressed for clearly identifiable reasons: being fired, bereavement, or ill health. While this is something everyone experiences, the causes of stress can vary from person to person. Stress can be external and related to the environment [3], but it can also be caused by internal perceptions that cause a person to experience anxiety or other negative emotions associated with the situation, such as pressure, discomfort, etc., which he then considers. stress.

To better address this issue, it’s important to understand what causes stress and how modern life affects mental health. From persistent connections (see point 1 and this article “Why the modern world is bad for the brain”), to air pollution that affects our health, and noise pollution that affects our ability to hear our own thoughts… it’s no wonder we’re so easily exposed pressure. Our bodies and minds are caught up in everyday life, which results in a stressful environment. So, in fact, you can protect yourself by understanding stress and how to reduce these damaging effects of stress. With the development of society, the pace of modern life is getting faster and faster.

Financial stress is also linked to many health problems, including depression, anxiety, skin problems, diabetes and arthritis. Expected wages, timely promotions, material advancements like houses and cars, marriage, etc. often go hand in hand with anxiety, stress and lifestyle ailments. So, it can be said that today’s young people are very vulnerable to stress, and consumer culture is partly responsible for this.

From unattainable standards of beauty, lifestyle and social media performance, to constant stress at work and with friends, there are many ways online can lead to stress. Sometimes interpersonal stress can also be related to our relationships with people on social media like Facebook. For example, models and actors who adhere to society’s perception of beauty lead many to aspire to be like them, creating stress and anxiety when they try to do so.

Due to the increased use of technology, the number of face-to-face conversations or meetings has decreased, leading to loneliness, depression, and stress. Due to the increased use of technology, the number of conversations or face-to-face meetings has decreased, leading to loneliness, depression and stress. In addition, insomnia caused by the excessive use of technological gadgets has shortened the life expectancy of the modern generation.

Currently, people do less sports, physical work and consume more fast food, junk food, and due to family problems and stress, some are involved in criminal activities, which further increases stress and health problems. Studies show that stress levels in humans have reached noticeable levels in recent times. In this article, we will discuss the top 5 reasons why stress levels are on the rise these days. This article collects the reasons why the modern generation is so full of stress and mental problems.

The only word that comes to mind when we think about life in this century is stress. Stress affects all social groups and all age categories; no one can escape it.

Stress is a constant factor in the life of a five-year-old, young or old. Stress is a normal part of teenage life and can have many causes. At times, young people often feel stressed. Stress is actually a normal part of life, and sometimes useful.

But if you can’t manage stress and it becomes long-term, it can seriously interfere with your work, family life, and health. In the long term, financial stress causes distress, which can raise blood pressure and cause headaches, stomach pain, chest pain, insomnia, and general malaise.

Stress can also lead to various problems such as depression, diabetes, hair loss, heart disease, obesity, ulcers, cancer (possibly), sexual dysfunction, dental and gum disease, etc. It is impossible to completely eliminate stress from your life; however, applying some stress management techniques can mitigate some of the effects. Chronic stress and lack of coping resources available or used by the individual can often lead to the development of psychological problems such as depression and anxiety (see below for more information).

Signs of relationship-related stress are similar to common general symptoms of stress and can include sleep and physical health problems, depression, and anxiety. Toxic people are present in every area of our lives, and the stress we experience as a result of these relationships can affect our physical and mental health.

High levels of parental stress can cause parents to become harsh, negative, and overbearing with their children. Older people find that retirement income can be a major stressor when adults are stressed to cope with family expenses. Getting a raise or a promotion is stressful, even just being fired from a job is stressful. On the one hand, this can be useful, but unfortunately, this constant pressure often leads to situations of increasing stress.

But if we’re going to deal with stress, we need to be on top of the basic building blocks, or our health can exacerbate the stress we experience.

In addition, people who do not believe that stress affects their health are not at high risk of getting sick, falling ill, or dying. Compared with younger generations, older adults are less likely to report high levels of stress, possibly in part because they are also more likely to recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle or receive advice from a healthcare professional to reduce stress levels. Mature adults were significantly less likely than younger generations to report being irritable or angry due to stress in the past month (23% of adults, 42% of Baby Boomers, 51% of Gen X and 44% of millennials). Likewise, older adults are less likely to feel overwhelmed or saddened by stress in the past month than other generations (24% for Millennials and 38% for Gen X).

Three-quarters of millennials (76%) believe that stress can have a very high or high impact on health; this percentage rises steadily to 80% Gen Xers, 87% Boomers, and 92% adults. The American Psychological Association (APA) Stress in America 2020 report found that, on average, Gen Z adults reached a stress level of 6.1 out of 10 in the last month, with 10 being above. Americans aged 18 to 23, also known as Generation Z adults, report the highest stress levels of any generation in the country, according to the survey. Generation Z faces chronic stress from many environmental factors, including gun violence, harassment and abuse, anxiety about financial insecurity, politics, and even social media.

How to prioritize work

Learning how to prioritize

It means getting more out of the limited time you have each day. It’s one of the cornerstones of productivity and once you know how to properly prioritize, it can help with everything from your time management to work-life balance.

Master lists

Capture everything on a Master List and then break it down by monthly, weekly, and daily goals.

Start by making a master list—a document, app, or piece of paper where every current and future task will be stored.
Once you have all your tasks together, break them down into monthly, weekly, and daily goals.
When setting your priorities, try not to get too “task-oriented” – you want to make sure you’re prioritizing the more effective work.

Eisenhower Matrix

The matrix is a simple four-quadrant box that answers that helps you separate “urgent” tasks from “important” ones:

Urgent and Important: Do these tasks as soon as possible
Important, but not urgent: Decide when you’ll do these and schedule it
Urgent, but not important: Delegate these tasks to someone else
Neither urgent nor important: Drop these from your schedule as soon as possible.

The Ivy Lee Method

Rank your work by its true priority with the Ivy Lee Method:

At the end of each workday, write down the 6 most important things you need to accomplish tomorrow.
Prioritize those 6 items n order of their true importance.
When you arrive tomorrow, concentrate only on the first task. Work until the first task is finished before moving on to the next one.
Approach the rest of your list in the same fashion. At the end of the day, move any unfinished items to a new list of six tasks for the following day.
Repeat this process every working day.

The ABCDE method

Instead of keeping all tasks on a single level of priority, this method offers two or more levels for each task:

Go through your list and give every task a letter from A to E (A being the highest priority)
For every task that has an A, give it a number that dictates the order you’ll do it in
Repeat until all tasks have letters and numbers.

Set the tone of the day by “Eating the frog”

Once you’ve prioritized your most important work, it’s time to choose how to attack the day. How you start the day sets the tone for the rest of it. And often, getting a large, hairy, yet important task out of the way first thing gives you momentum, inspiration, and energy to keep moving.

Warren Buffett’s 2-list strategy

Cut out “good enough” goals with Warren Buffett’s 2-list strategy.

Write down your top 25 goals: life goals, career goals, education goals, or anything else you want to spend your time on.
Circle your top 5 goals on that list.
Finally, any goal you didn’t circle goes on an “avoid at all cost” list. These are the tasks that are seemingly important enough to deserve your attention. But that isn’t moving you towards your long-term priorities.

The sunk cost fallacy

Humans are especially susceptible to the “sunk cost fallacy”—a psychological effect where we feel compelled to continue doing something just because we’ve already put time and effort into it. But the reality is that no matter what you spend your time doing, you can never get that time back. And any time spent continuing to work towards the wrong priority is just wasted time.

guidelines for the development of e-Content for Children with Disabilities

Union Education Minister Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ today approved the release of the guidelines for the Development of e-Content for Children with Disabilities today.

A comprehensive initiative, PM e-VIDYA was launched on 17th May 2020, with an aim to unify all efforts related to digital/online/on-air education. The programme interaliaenvisages development of special e-content for the Divyang (Children with Disabilities-CwDs). In pursuance of this vision, the Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Education had constituted a Committee of experts, for recommending guidelines for developing e-content for these children.

For the first time, an attempt was made to prepare guidelines for CwD also referred to as Children with Special Needs (CWSN) children so that the goal of inclusive education is fulfilled. The Committee submitted a report titled “Guidelines for the Development of e-Content for Children with Disabilities” comprising of eleven Sections and two Appendices. This report was shared, presented, discussed and accepted by the MoE.

The salient highlights of the e- content guidelines in the report are:

e-Content for CwDs should be developed based on the four principles namely: perceivable, operable, understandable and robust.
e-Content including text, tables, diagrams, visuals, audios, videos etc. should comply with accessibility standards: national standards (GIGW 2.0) and international standards (WCAG 2.1, E-Pub, DAISY etc).
Distribution platforms on which content is uploaded (e.g. DIKSHA) and Reading platforms/devices on which content is accessed and interacted (e.g. e-pathshala) must comply with technical standards
Reasonable pedagogical accommodations have been recommended to meet specific needs of CwDs
The technical standards and guidelines have been detailed out in Section 4 of the report.

The Committee has also recommended that in a phased manner textbooks may be adapted into Accessible Digital Textbooks (ADTs). The content of ADTs should be provided in multiple formats (text, audio, video, sign language etc) with turn-on and turn-off features. Further ADTs should provide flexibility to CwDs to respond to its content/exercises in multiple ways. The detailed guidelines for developing ADTs along with existing international and national experience, in the development of prototypes including the recent NCERT’s experience: Barkha:A Reading Series for All (in print and digital forms), Accessible Textbooks for All and UNICEF’s “Accessible Digital Textbooks using Universal Design for Learning ( for Learners with and without Disabilities ) have been presented in Section 5 of the report.

In addition to ADTs, in Sections 6 to 9 the Committee has recommended specific guidelines for development of supplementary e-Content as per 21 disabilities specified in the RPWD Act 2016 for students having Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, Multiple Disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Specific Learning Disabilities, Blindness, low vision, Deafness and Hard of Hearing and others.
A summary of the recommendations has been presented in Section 10 of the report for sharing widely with content creators, content designers, developers, publishers.
The implementation roadmap along with the suggestions to strengthen compliance to the accessibility guidelines have been presented in Section 11 of the report.
Comprehensive guidelines and technical standards for the production of Sign Language videos have been provided at Appendix-1 of the Report.
Universal Design for Learning( UDL)guidelines for content development and pedagogical accommodations are given in Appendix 2 of the report.

These guidelines will initiate the creation of high quality content for digital education toChildrenwith Special needs. They are dynamic by nature, to be improved based on experience and advent of better technology.

How Can Yoga Therapy help?

Yoga therapy meets people where they are, connecting them to their own innate healing potential. Yoga therapy clients report experiencing improved mood, decreased stress and chronic pain, and more. See a sample list of research articles on yoga therapy and yoga.

Women exercising in fitness studio yoga classes

One mechanism researchers have uncovered is yoga’s capacity to affect the nervous system by improving our ability to self-regulate. The practice uses methods that work via both the mind and the body, known in research as top-down and bottom-up regulation. Put simply, top-down regulation uses cognitive tools like meditation and ethical inquiry to affect the state of the body, whereas bottom-up regulation uses the body itself, through movement and breathing techniques, to change the state of the nervous system and to affect thoughts and emotions.

In short, the practice of yoga equips us with a comprehensive toolkit to help support regulation and resilience in the mind-body system. Yoga therapy is the specific use of these tools by a trained practitioner.

Chronic pain, including low-back pain, arthritis, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and other types of pain such as that associated with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome
Mental health, including concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, insomnia, and others
Neurological issues and complications of stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease, and traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Support for illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease
Overall well-being (you don’t need to be sick or in pain for yoga therapy to have value!) and healthy aging
