Addiction to the social networks " Facebook"


Nowadays the increase of the use of the social network Face book inside the population shaped by the young persons is a clear sample of how these persons can manage to become accustomed to the mentioned virtual way of interaction. The affirmations of the professional are categorical on having affirmed that some of the negative situations that the extreme development can create so much of the visits as application of information in this group of the cyberspace, are the social isolation first.

This one is a consequence that takes place when the person stimulates more his virtual relations than the full development of his personality inside a royal, physical environment, situation that stays of manifest in the increase of visits that someone belonging to the network like user wants to impose on other priorities. The young people they feel that only they have a real acceptance when they enter to these networks because only they tend to emphasize the positive thing, the part that we all want that they see of us, the denial of faults and the establishment of relations that only look for an immediate satisfaction.

The compartment of common interests, though it is not a question of a negative point that it influences in a harmful way the personality of the individual who spends in the Facebook great part by day, if this interest spends an obstacle to a plane of care to the being in order that the strengthening of the personal and relative relations achieves a clear aim. Secondly, and complementary to the part of the article about only the good thing that tends to be outlined inside the construction of the profile there is the creation of false profiles, which is one of the most serious problems which there face those who do part of the network of contacts of the mentioned social network. This phenomenon obeys that some persons want to know a specific information of someone in that they are interested, being made spend for a well-meaning contact that only wants to establish a relation of companionship more, procedure very used for example on behalf of jealous or distrustful pairs

Food addiction


Some people believe that foods rich in fat or sugar can be addictive, what that people consumes them in excess, thus enhancing obesity. Should be given to this food the same treatment as to alcohol or tobacco? Or we're confusing the terms "addiction", "longing for food" and "food-related disorders"?

In spite of the similarities found between the action of eating and drug use, most cases classified as "food addiction" should not be considered as an addictive behavior. Eating is a complex behavior involving many hormones and different body systems; it is simply a pleasure/reward system. As several studies have found some differences in changes that occur in several neurotransmitters in relation to drug consumption and the compulsion to intense food.

Virtually all the pleasures (beauty, music, sex, or even exercise) are associated with increases in dopamine similar to caused by a fat-rich food, but call them delights, not addiction, and academics have proposed other alternative explanations. The intense desire to consume food pleasant to the palate it conflicts with the need for culturally imposed limit its consumption, which makes the desire for this food more, pronounced and could be interpreted as an addiction. Also could be that some people brain processed differently stimuli related to food, similar to addictive stimuli, causing a more intense consuming quantities or different types of food drive. Although the word "addiction" is inappropriate, approaching an important aspect of healthy food behavior: the ability to maintain control of its own power.

Although exercise and healthy eating habits are two of the most important for good health aspects, it is possible to help health professionals treating people whose eating habits do not match their intentions.

workaholism


In recent centuries there was an excessive progression of working conditions. Hours of work for the increase in leisure and rest have decreased by a qualitative leap in quality of life. The balance between the hours of work, leisure and rest is decisive for the personal well-being. However, today's society in day, society of consumption, powers the tombstone of leisure time for additional work to do increase profits in consumption. Is in this context where has begun to explore a "new" psychological disorder characterized by loss of control at work: work addiction. The notion of addiction has traditionally been associated with drugs.

However, addictive disorders have two fundamental components: lack of control and dependency. There are harmless behavioral habits that become addictive in appearance. Certain problematic behavior can be considered similar to those with drug addicts psychopathology. I.e. psychological addiction symptoms are similar to chemical addictions. The human being needs an overall satisfaction with various activities. If it is unable to allocate their time in various activities, you can focus on just one. Any conduct, either normal or pleasurable, is susceptible to addiction. Addictive behaviors are controlled first by strengthening positive, but then end up being controlled by negative strengthening.

Addiction is determined depending on the degree of interference of relationships. Psychological addictions: repetitive behaviors that are enjoyable and that generated a loss of control on the subject. So far the intense dedication to work has been regarded as good: as a positive addiction. It has begun to consider this phenomenon as a serious disorder with their physical and psychological consequences. Work addiction is characterized by:-A progressive, excessive involvement in work with loss of control with respect to the limits of the work and that affects other areas of everyday life. -The envelope involvement responds to lust or personal need more needs of the working environment, is distinguished by normally accompanied by overvalued ideas attitude.

Nowadays young people are addicted to cellular phones that can contribute to develop attitudes of dispersion, anxiety and intolerance and even criminal attitudes to finance the addiction.
Technology - mobile including - represents a breakthrough in modernity, but natural is to use it in a normal way without anxiety, for emergencies or issues of real utility, such as business or to briefly inform its location and indicate where you go, if you for example have an appointment or to another person you need to tell you something special.

This addiction to new technologies may be given by a lack of goals or the instability of the person to so many uncertainties that must be addressed. This could also contribute some lack of values that would make people that slipping.

New technologies offer many possibilities for social good, but at the same time can enslave many individuals before a computer or a cell phone and lead them to a frantic dialogue machine that makes that they spend long time on this activity. It goes without saying that the excessive use of mobile phones may force many to be hung it in long conversations to express trivial things. Obsessions of many people to spend long time immersed in the virtuality of images, submerged in an unreality of life, expressing a desire to escape from stress are abundant.

Addiction to snuff


During the last decades, smoking has become one of the more severe health problems to the discovery of the damage caused and to find it related to various serious diseases that every day acquire greater importance as a cause of death and disability, with severe economic repercussions.

Snuff addiction is a disease caused by excessive consumption of tobacco, is a social and public health by multiple harms health, not only of persons who consume it, but that live in them, since it is estimated that 3 million people die annually from problems associated directly by the tobacco problem. Smoking and the risks to health, which are many because it is associated with a number of chronic diseases, is associated to other issues such as: fire, Burns, and traffic accidents.

This disease, as a voluntary risk addiction is very difficult to leave and control, so started once the habit is extremely difficult to leave, because it becomes part of the lifestyle of a person, who in spite of knowing the damage that makes you don't know that for well-being passenger, slowly, silently, but effective, tobacco will causing irreversible in the organs of the body most damage, generating various chronic and degenerative diseases and is cause of premature death

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES THAT BRINGS THE INTERNET TO THE PEOPLE



The internet has become the connective glue that brings the world together. It’s a force to be reckoned with. Most people would be hard pressed to imagine their lives without the world wide web it plays such a pivotal role in day to day life, whether it be for business, for pleasure or for a combination of the two.
It may surprise you to hear that the internet, the high speed internet we’ve all come to know and love, hasn’t been widely available until quite recently. The fact of the matter is, people living in the countryside, in more rural and remote areas removed from the suburbs and the cities haven’t been fortunate enough to have access to high speed broadband internet.

The possibilities are endless. High speed internet brings the whole world closer. Users can communicate with loved ones and friends who live thousands of miles away across oceans and continents. They can even bring the internet with them wherever they go. Satellite internet not only connects rural America, it also allows intrepid adventurers, roving businessmen, scientists and researchers, etc to go on the road and get connected as long as they have a clear view of the sky—basically everywhere.

Shopping Adidiction


Overspending is not just a whim, can become an unhealthy blanket than a snowball can wipe out the economic security gained through a lifetime of hard work. We live in a consumer society in which invite us constantly from advertising to have the latest coming to feel at times that the "need".

It is not often hear about new people who wasted the resources of his life if he was fortunate to inherit a fortune, or just the capital amassed through their work and effort in the blink of an eye, because of their short trial to preserve what we have. This extreme behavior of spend and spend without thinking about the future is addicted to shopping, and is a disease that affects both men and women. But the latter, more likely to succumb to the temptations of the good life, including clothing and accessories, decorative items, cars, travel, apartments and, finally, all that money and credit cards can pay, they are pursued by one days creditors, defeated and faced the problem of start over its economic life when the slope has become steeper, ie, when age is short.

This has generated in recent years increasingly emerge different case number calls addictions partner. They are characterized by an addiction to a substance not only socially accepted acts such as watching television or using mobile Internet, or buy.
The person who is addicted to shopping is not usually recognize the problem until it has severe consequences as in other addictions as it is lived in shame.

This problem is especially common in women 40 to 50 years old with low self-esteem, lack of self control, insecurity, proneness to fantasy, loneliness and spiritual emptiness. The problem starts when a person is gratifying to shop and start using this activity as the only way Feel well, because it leaves other activities or fills a void. This fact makes the person begins to associate the act of purchase with a sense of wellbeing.
There after the person may enter a vicious circle: in a moment of anxiety or discomfort you feel the urge to buy and can not resist; the person buys something and then feel a sense of relief and well-being in a buying mood, then realizing that he was unable to prevent their momentum, which has spent money that was not spent, and who has spent on something useless or not needed, a strong sense of guilt along with a strong self invade this person, the discomfort resulting from these negative feelings is unbearable and cause the person to seek ways to feel good, the person returns to buy this being a simple, fast and effective relief and feel that at that time being much needed. Jealousy causes us to almost all those very few people who have had the fortune of winning the lottery will not let us see the raw reality.

Generally, those who make the lottery is spent on weight and weight within a rather short again in his initial insecurity. Cases like some actresses who have made a fortune with his talent and work should be examples of how to behave in the handling of money, because they often spend wasted millions of dollars buying more cars than they could handle, even by changing some houses by other increasingly expensive with the same ease with which they change their clothes and using its credit cards like cash money.

"Where is thrown out ... and not just the harvest," says a popular proverb which happens to be literally true, by investigation could see the case of Sandra Corrales after living a luxurious life with her husband, was separated from it and by the fact of not having a college education is not found work, which led within a period not long to live in a rented room in which the only piece of furniture was a mattress on the floor. But she did not learn the lesson. When I finally got a job, rented an apartment for a year that went beyond their means and acquired credit card debt that dogged limits to almost insanity.
This woman's case is not isolated, it is an epidemic that attacks women equally rich or of modest means, educated or not, intelligent or not. We see them more often than we imagine trying to get out of their incompetence to manage money, clearing the unknown field of therapy applied to financial management, which streamline the budget that have passed through the pressing task of going to a psychologist.

As expected these professional women receive a diagnosis that analyzes cataloging your condition as a monetary disorder and is characterized by an insane and self-destructive behavior, but are less serious in other pathological disorders such as cutting c purchase compulsive, it is very disturbing and can lead to bankruptcy. The taste for shopping is an activity that has spread in this society, purely consumerist, and can ensure that there is nothing wrong with that, well make money and spend it on what everyone want.

However, there is indeed a problem when the desire to consume is transformed into an idea that having a certain number of objects is a necessity, when it acquired when it warns that it is not and want more. For what characterizes the impulse buyer is buying things you do not need with money they do not have!.
Ideally, people aware of their own disorganization and choose the right path, which is the consulting psychologist, knowing that when people seek help about managing their own money, play therapy levels deeper than the funds in your bank account, because usually delve into unresolved family issues and generational patterns of behavior that very likely are the cause of this disorder.

At a time when the economy is stagnating and consumers are concerned about unemployment and savings for a better future, one can imagine that being rich or receive money from heaven-the lottery or a disproportionate interest is the panacea, and those who are in such a situation can be secure. But many people who keeps struggling with money matters is not poor at all. There is some degree of harmful behavior, depression, on the whole time be thinking that things have to be the only source of happiness and to the extent that the procurement of goods and consumer goods are richer.

A wise sentence which says that "one is poorer the more you want." Maybe those who are addicted do not believe so but, as they say, peace is not paid with money. Focus on goals like buying a house, a car and achieve a dignified way of life is no sin, neither is given some tastes as far as possible. It's when those goals go beyond the limits of our capacity.

Globalization


The Globalization has been viewed from a variety of perspectives and is at the center of overlapping debates. One debate focuses on the fundamental nature of globalization: is it essentially a narrowly-defined economic and financial process of integration of national economies into an international economy, or does it also include more broadly-defined interweavings of political, technological, and cultural processes. the globalization affects public health in a variety of ways because it has unleashed profound changes that have redefined how institutions at many levels–nation states, government agencies, transnational corporations, multilateral organizations, non-governmental organizations, public and private health care providers, community-based and other affinity-based organizations, communities, and households–operate and interact with one another.
At the same time, the world is currently in the midst of an epidemiologic transition, defined as:
the evolutionary changes in different societal settings from a situation of high mortality, high fertility, short life expectancy, young age structure, and predominance of communicable diseases; especially in the young, to one of low mortality, low fertility, increasing life expectancy, aging, and predominance of degenerative and man-made diseases, especially among the middle and old ages .

In other words, although much of the Third World still faces poverty and inequality , the impact of globalization is neither monolithic nor uniform, and local response is not only possible, but actually offers viable options to economic and political domination and cultural homogenization. In this view, for instance, local collective capacity in Ecuador continues to represent an effective counterweight to global forces such that globalization can, in effect, be shaped at the local level . This is so in part because local culture remains a vital force despite homogenizing influences and can even be brought to bear in order to assert and reassert local values and practices.

child prostitution


As in other Latin American countries, there are numerous street children in Ecuador, who as a consequence of their poverty can slide into prostitution. In addition, there is also evidence of trafficking in children in Ecuador, in parallel with the increase in sex tourism.

Investigations show that in 1999 every second child came from a family that was not able to pay for food, housing, education, and medical care. As a consequence, these children do not go to school, and 20.5% are forced to start work at ages between 5 and 9 years and between 10 and 14 years. In a country that is struggling against underemployment and employment, often the only opportunity to offer itself is prostitution. They then become victims of exploitation by traffickers and sex tourists.

Corruption and the loose interpretation of existing laws favour a rapid growth of demand and supply in the field of commercial sex. No official notice is yet taken of this problem, so that no reliable statistics are available.

Infantile Mistreatment


The children raised in homes where they are ill-treated occur it was showing posttraumatic and emotional disorders. Many experience feelings of scanty auto esteem and suffer from depression and anxiety for what they are in the habit of using the alcohol or other drugs to mitigate his psychological distress being the addiction when the adulthood coming, more frequent than in the general population.

The effects that the infantile mistreatment produced do not stop the childhood, showing many of them difficulties to establish a healthy interrelationship on having come to the adulthood.
Some children feel dread of speaking what happens to them for that they think that nobody they will believe. Other times do not realize that the mistreatment to which they are an object is an abnormal behavior like that learns to repeat this model unconsciously. The lack of a familiar positive model and the difficulty in growing and to develop copying it, it increases the difficulties of establishing relations.

It is possible that they do not see the real root of his emotional problems, until on having come to adults they look for help to solve them.

For many children who suffer from mistreatment, the violence of the person who takes unfair advantage transforms in a form of life. They grow thinking and believing that the people who hurts are a part of the daily life, therefore this behavior takes acceptably and the cycle of the abuse continues when they transform in parents that there abuse of his children and these theirs, continuing this way the vicious cycle for generations.

Water Pollution


The water constitutes an indispensable natural element for the development of the life and of the human activities; it is difficult to imagine any activity type in which is not used, in another way.
In our planet it covers 75% of their surface, but not all the water is under capable conditions for the human use. 97.5% of the water is salted, the 2.5% resultant is sweet water distributed in lakes, rivers, streams and reservoirs; this minimum proportion is the one that we can use with but easiness.


The water to meet different needs becomes a resource. However not all the people have him. This happens for several reasons, among which they can mention him the unequal natural distribution of the water in the terrestrial surface. This impossibility takes to situations of shortage that doesn't have exclusively natural, but rather also social causes. This allows us to say that a narrow relationship exists between the possibility of supply and the development, because as much as adult is the development, adult it is the capacity to obtain it and adult is the contamination.


The humanity requires the water every time in more quantities to carry out her activities. The biggest consumption of water is also due to the increment of you practice them of agricultural irrigation, to the great industrial development or the existence of consumption habits that, in occasions, they imply its waste.

POLITICAL CORRUPTION IN THE COUNTRY

In the last years, I know this taking place in our country a phenomenon that you could consider that it is already widespread: the disenchant and the disillusion for the politics.
Although this fact is not anything new, the disillusion and the distrust have increased in such a way that they have produced frustration, anger and, in consequence, an open rejection for the politics on the part of the Ecuadorians.

Although many are the reasons that could be attached to try to understand this situation of general descreimiento toward the politics or the political thing, as the disappearance of an ideological base and the excessive influence of the massive means of communication, the best explanation in the current anger is definitively in the political corruption.
The Ecuadorian politics has never borne in its concept the adjective of vestal and the political corruption is not something of recent origin. But the avarice and the Creole vivacity, they have reached levels very tecnificados. In fact, the political corruption has arrived to a perfection that corrupts to the democratic politics.
The political corruption eats away us from immemorial time. Another of the legacies that left us the colony was and that the Creoles knew how to perfect. You count special, control lack, bribe, production quotas, import or export, slices in each contract licitatorio and thousand other maleficios has taken to many countries to the bankruptcy while their leaders enjoyed the illicit peacefulness.

The corruption is institutional, the citizens also have our degree of responsibility. We perpetuate it and we practice it when we offer money to police's official to avoid to pay a ticket, when we bribe a teacher so that it approves us the year, when we falsify the accounting, when we don't respect the shift or when, in definitive, irrespetamos the right of our fellow men.
The main source of corruption is generated in the politics who allow for not getting dirty in the mire of the public thing that other they manage it on its behalf, they are abandoning its right to complain about the corruption of the politicians.
