Reading about the stress. Physiological outcomes. Individual differences.
.... to me it is personal again.... personal attitude to smoking. While I can't stand people who are smoking on my territory, I also can't understand why do I "do not love" them so much....
But it turns that there are just different stress' personalities, and the smoking itself is a psysiological outcome of stress. Somewhat natural in the world we live in....
And the point is that there is some inherent level of stress' exposure.... and smoking is just a consequence of it, a natural one ? Or the easiest one ?
An essay about the means of communication in Individualistic and Collectivistic cultures.
And the same way in the means of communication. I've defined social nets to the collectivistic culture.... as probably the easiest means of communication is social networks, where one can share common thoughts with the group and be accessible by the members of the group the same time. A simple way of having fun and be a part of society, which supposes no burden of individual responsibility and manifestation.
And it is the easiest to the Individualistic culture as well. "Take it easy" seems to have a profound effect on the world's societies.
