TOXIC MASCULINITY: A REAL PROBLEM

Authored by HARI RAAM Toxic masculinity is nothing but a conventional idea of glorifying strength, aggressiveness or dominance which affects mental health. Countless men were diagnosed with a mental health condition but do not take any action, as they believe it makes them vulnerable. Men who talk about their emotional struggles are usually considered “less manly” or “weak person” ; it makes them feel vulnerable. As a result, men suppress their emotions, ignore their feelings, and dismiss their feminine qualities, which harms their mental health. Toxic masculinity is still a problem, and the best way to teach men that emotions do not devalue them or make them weak is to change the mentality in them from a young age. Toxic masculinity begins small and has a lifetime impact on young boys, who are growing up into young men. Telling a boy he shouldn’t show emotions because he is a man, can result in that child suppressing emotions in his entire life. Inappropriate behavior by referring to ...

RELIGIONS NEED TO BE REVIEWED

Authored by HARI RAAM Ages back when the idea of the constitution didn't exist, Religions did a pretty good job of ensuring the survival of this world. Now they are outdated, most of them are based on standards and laws that served human demands which existed thousands of years ago.

WHAT DOES BEING HUMAN MEAN?

Authored by HARI RAAM Our Planet is about 4.5 billion years old and  we humans appeared on it  just 2,00,000 years ago . Our world and her countless species are part of an incredibly long and dynamic evolution, where we humans entered after a long period of time and played a very small role to this day. We all are members of the same anatomically modern human race, Homo sapiens who live in different parts of the world. Homo sapiens is a Latin term that means "thinking man." There are 180 species of primates which means they are the highest order of mammals and Homo sapiens is one of them. They share certain traits with other mammals, but they still have their distinct characteristics. The mechanism of human evolution can be established as the effects of key biological markers such as increased brain size, improvements in pelvic structure, and the beginnings of bipedalism, which means they walk upright on two legs rather than four legs, Their legs are longer than their arms as...
