Are We Being Trained for Marriage ?

Marriage is something that everyone has a different opinion about. Men want a women that treats them like their mothers do but do even more.... Women are subconsciously trained by their parents to be good housewives in the future, by giving them demeaning roles in the household of cleaning and cooking but what they don't know is that they are actually being trained for the coveted role of THE HOUSEWIFE!

No it is not racial profiling and no it is not "tradition" it is all about conditioning! Like how girls are trained to wear dresses, that is the norm. In some European countries young boys wear dresses til the age of 5, see over here we would see that as odd but it isn't to them they see that as normal because that is how they were raised. You can actually train your child to be exactly the way you would like. Crazy right?

Working Under Pressure

So  lately I have found that I have taken a whole world of tasks on my shoulders. I have spread myself way too thin and I'm actually paying for it now in sleep!!! My question to you is; why is that High School students choose to take on so many tasks and feel asthough they can produce top work without having any of the tasks tainted? I know with me, I take on a lot of stuff and possibly one or two of those tasks turn out, to say the least...as great as I would of hoped for. I think that this isn't just a personal feeling I believe that students, High School, College and University feel this way aswell. It is called anxiety disorder, and it is something that affects students in their late teens and early twenties all face. Its brought on by people making us feel asthough we need to be the best at everything that we do, and having them also holding high expectations for us. It is that fear that we can't do it and disappointnig the people that we "promised" that we would do it that strikes fear into your mind. I wonder if other nations teenagers feel it aswell, maybe even more then we do. I also believe that it is also brought on by the media aswell. I mean look at the teenagers that you see on televison, they all have it together, top grades, extra curriculars and high achievers, and they all get 8-10 hours of sleep and look GREAT! everyday. its the picture in your mind that says; Maybe I can have everything. The media decieves us into thinking that and what we don't see in the TV personalities is what they are really like under pressure. Maybe instead of creating stupid shows like Jersey Shore and shows about Wizards and regular teens by day and Pop-Stars by night they should make a show about the way a teenager really is... That is a show i would actually watch!

The Torture that is Late Night Television

So it is about 12:17 in the morning and i am just sitting here in my living room and watching some television while trying to complete some late night homework when I stopped and thought about how awful late night television has become. I mean it is like they have ran out of shows to create like everything has been done and thought of (that is why they created sequels:P). The show i am currently watching is a show called "Majority Rules" and its about a teenager that gets elected to be the major of a small town and she does that while attending high school. I personally find the show completely stupid and pointless. Then I thought about a lot of the other "new" shows that have come out lately and I thought about "Modern Family" and this animated series called "Fish Hooks" (yes i watch a lot of TV) and i was just thinking about how the concept of these shows are pointless. "Modern Family" takes a look into the psychological affects of the modern families; the divorced couples, a homosexual couple and a two parent household with 2.5 children. It basically shows you how they go through life and deal with thing that happen. "Fish Hooks" on the other hand is there purely for entertainment purposes because it is just about 3 fish and you follow them through ridiculous situations living in a fish tank in a pet store...Really?? It seems to me that we've completely ran out of ideas and are in desperate need of an epiphany!

Technology is the new Norm

It astonishes me how technology has progressed to the point where we don't have to see anyone anymore, your never in the same room with people anymore. It seems as though that there is technological substitute for everything nowadays. To go a party you can just go on a site called www.livestream.com where you can chat with people you've never met(which you do when you go to parties) and then also watch people put on a show (mostly dj's showing off there skills), and listen to music. If you feel like talking face to face with people without even leaving your couch you can go to a site called www.tinychat.com where you can show yourself on your webcam and others do the same, there is also skype! Honestly we do not need to go anywhere anymore. If you want to date you go join eharmony and let a website and probably match up with some random other lonely, lazy person that didn't want to go out. Literally everything is based around your computer. Want food = order online, want to shop = shop online!, want to interact with people = facebook, twitter, MSN, skype, tinychat, want to be entertained = youtube!!! There is no reason to go outside anymore or even be face to face with someone and that is just amazingly sad. Yes there are upsides to being online instead of in person because you can edit everything to your liking but if you really think about it then does anyone know anyone anymore then? It is so much easier to be lied to cyberly, case and point wikipedia!
