Being Black Without Being Born Black
For centuries, people believed that humanity could be split into biological races. Those who were black were born from black families. Those who were white were born from white families. Race produced race, just as kind produced kind. But those notions have long been rejected by science. Genetic data indicates that race is not biological. We cannot determine lineage based on outward appearance.

Nonverbal Communication: The 7 Body Language Cues you must know to avoid the trouble
Have you also misunderstood someone who could not timely respond to you when you were speaking to them? The perception that they did not listen to you, right? But what if I tell you that they kept telling you about it in the first place. And it was you who kept talking anyway!

The Decision to Take Care of the Body is to Rectify a Fundamental Lack in Life
Despite the overwhelming array of weight loss pills and potions, despite the cornucopia of exercise equipment for the home user, and despite the fact that new diets bursts onto the scene every other week, we are still a society that is simply too overweight. I do not cast judgment here. Overhauling one’s mindset, environment, social circle, beliefs, or whatever else has to be altered in order to encourage healthy change comes with intense challenges. Then again, all worthwhile changes seem to follow the same guideline.

YOYOLOO
My last article was about what I think the meaning of life is. I'd recommend reading that before this one, because I see this as sort of a follow-up and an effort to clear up some seeming irregularities in my opinions. I basically said that the meaning of life is to enjoy it, do whatever you want to do, and don't overwork yourself mentally or physically because you feel like that is the right thing to do. However, when describing my lot and the things I enjoy, I said that I'm not a fan of YOLO culture, and that might be considered to be at odds with my entire point. But I intend to explain what I mean by this, and delve deeper into my thoughts about the meaning of life, in this follow-up.

A Meaning of Life
Okay, firstly some disclaimers. This article, which I feel is not one of my best anyway, borrows some ideas that I wrote in a blog for my dad's company years ago. He's a journalist and wrote a similar article for a British newspaper and I've since seen other people make similar points but I assure you the ideas that I write about are mine, in the incredibly rare case that anyone is delving that deeply into it.

Why are moments so important?
Moments are important. When the sun sets and the day turns to night, the moments we had during the day light are no longer present. We are no longer able to be present in those moments which have passed, they have successfully turned into memories.

Positive Psychology
Human beings are capable of a wide range of emotions and behaviors. Neuroscience has showed us many specific brain regions within complex interconnections that operate emotionality, decision making, compassion, aggression and thus motivation. These biological ties to genetic determinations are strong, but so is the environment one reacts with as well as acquired skills to negotiate through ones environment. The idea that disgust and aggression are largely biologically explainable is a very logical assertion. Community evolved for survival and a large part of a successful community is sharing and aiding others in one’s community. If a member violates this, it threatens their group cohesion thus a punishment will ensue. Thus, the community feels disgust or anger and this must be revenged. Many animals do this, especially humans. Punishment remains a changing and enforced discussion, as evident by the innumerable prisoners housed away for a similar almost unending list of can and cannot’s that adorn all modernized cultures, which can be traced back throughout the history of cultural development. If it can be quantified, I’m confident that humans would take the prize in most frequent use of punishment (the innumerable amounts of death through war, religion, property, power, enslavement, genocide, etc.) If examined these can all be traced back to the Homo-Sapiens unchallenged revenge characteristics.

Positive Psychology
As I was reading through the notes and reviewing the readings, I came to the conclusion that I couldn’t pick just one thing to focus on. So, instead I am going to try and translate real world application to the research findings that have been discussed. Though positive psychology is the focus on reaching your optimal self I’m particularly interested in applying these concepts to individuals suffering from mental illness. Not to say these things are entire solutions, but more like helpful routines to incorporate into the lives of future clients and friends that are seeking to escape depression, PTSD, and in some cases, anxiety.
