It Has Nothing to Do with Age: Hostility in America Part 4

It Has Nothing To Do With Age provides self-help principles. The inspirational stories give concrete illustrations of overcoming many of life's challenges. Difficulties pertaining to depression, grief, divorce, and death are presented and worked through by the participants. Physical impairments, injuries, overcoming issues with weight, alcohol, and nicotine are also dealt with and resolved by the athletes.

This book provides a model on how to overcome some of the difficulties that confront all of us . Further, this read sheds a beacon of light on preventive measures for good physical and mental health. Research demonstrates that exercise is an important component in treating such ailments and debilitating illness such as depression, stroke, heart disease, brain or cognitive malfunction,and Alzheimer's disease.

I suggest that proper exercise can be used as a preventive measure for psychological, cognitive, and physical health as well. Follow my prescription and lead a better, more fulfilling, and healthier life.

Hostility in America Part 4

Hostility in America Part 4

Social media is another man made ingredient and provides an anonymous platform to express hostility without consequences; provides numerous examples of other narcissistic, prejudice, hateful inadequate and powerless others. TV, radio, movies, documentaries, provide prestigious models that provide examples of vengeful, destructive and hateful behavior. In fact, we learn more about the perpetrator than we do about the victims. The narcissistic perpetrator is glorified and given all this attention which is a reinforcement. Shame on you media.

Also, it seems that parenting styles have become too enmeshed, involved and too overprotective. There has been a misinterpretation regarding the development of self-esteem, being a buddy or friend and lack consequences for behavior for the parents. It’s become too easy to blame or scapegoat a video game, a neighbor, a teacher, or other adult for the child’s poor, lying or other inappropriate behavior. Thus, the child fails to learn integrity, to control impulses; to take responsibility and to develop the moral foundation or underpinnings for conscience development in order to function properly in our society. Parents are failing too.

I’m not optimistic. Please make America healthy.
