Trust your own body and not a diet

A diet makes you slim. You can read this headline and the additional concepts in every magazine, every week and every month. Mostly women, men increasing, believe in this. This of course is one big motor in the diet-market, every month a new diet. If you really have a look on this pattern of diet-market, you find out by observing that the proclamation of every new diet implicitly evaluates those which were presented before.

This is the one aspect to look critically on …………

Stereotype behavior and / or stigmatization

We all know about stereotypes, the way of thinking about others which is more related to oneself than to the other person. To judge someone and to address someone via a stereotype often is quite normal. Often, and this is the problem, it also can stigmatize a person, a group including people of colour, women, the elderly and people with mental illness.

Then the stereotype generalizes and

Pictures of the radical change in China

We all know about the radical change in China. It’s obvious as change happens everywhere. Change always is embodied in daily life. Just have a look at some photos which show the big difference in social life, in urbanisation, in the job and in relationship. Look at China, say 30 years ago, and look at China today.

Reading emotions is worth money

A lately published research says that there’s a quite an obvious connection between emotional recognition and annual income. This does not mean that only people with a high annual income have an emotional competence or emotional intelligence. If you judge from the other way round of course you as a manager or business man are clever enough to earn more money if you’re able to rely on your emotional competence.

And yet on the other hand …………….

Body language…be aware and be careful

Body-language and nonverbal communication is scientifically proofed and yet there’s quite a lot of literature on physiognomics. This means that people believe in the direct connection between physical characteristics and personal attitudes. This also includes e.g. a specific connection of physical characteristics and intelligence.

People often like to believe in such body-reading concepts because they are so simple or look like. So there’s a very big danger related ………..

Rent a girl, rent my girl

Rent a girl, rent my girl

In contrast to western platforms like Ebay, where you can sell and buy products, for example Taobao is a platform where you also can “sell yourself” and “buy another person”. What does it mean?

Taobao not only offers products just like cars, smartphones or clothing. It offers services, just like: “you can hire me for company, for a whole day and it will cost you 3-10 US Dollars a day”.

This is not an immoral offer, it’s not an offer with a sexual offense, it’s just the offer of a service.

Mostly women offer themselves to be a company/escort for a day. They offer this service and will accompany you during the day wherever you go, whatever you want to do and about whatever issue you will talk about.

How do you think about? Would you offer yourself? And would you offer your girlfriend?
