Stressed children

In the article "Stressed children" the autor presents the fact that there has been an increase of stress and anxiety disorder cases on the young population of Spain. One reason that explains this situation it's the absence of the parents in the most part of the day, complemented with the huge demand from the society: natural disasters, violence and video games are just a part of a normal day. Others, on the other hand, express their frustration by been tyrants. This kids show a despicable behaviour making their parents life miserable, specially when they don't manage to establish some limits to their sons. In order to confront this situation, the autor expound three advices: to transmit serenity, communicate the values of the details of life, and teaching that they are the protagonist of their lifes.

This should open our eyes a little bit.

Social psychology

Tomorrow I have a test related to this asignature. In global terms, it's not very difficult, but usually sandal a huge spectrum of themes.

Social psychology it's a specific approximation of the discipline to the people's dinamic. It's interested on understanding about the feelings, thoughts and behaviors of people, and how they are influenced by the presence of others. Different topics that studies are the attitudes, social representations, dynamics of groups, social influence, violence, etc.

Basically, the social psychology has allowed me to understand the discipline beyond the individual. For example, now I understand more about how the social influence operates in the society and how, from it, the leaders emerge. Also, the role that there fulfill these leaders, the influence they have in their groups, and how this dinamic operates in the Chilean society.

One of the topics that I would like to study in the future would be the education, as social and reproductive system.

I find the asignature very interesting because it allows to observe psychological phenomena of a wide way, when traditionally they diminish to the subject. Also, who knows, I might devote in the future to this particular vision.

Well, that's it. Here are the web sites about two main topcis
