Which pattern of Love are you in ?

Let’s get to the topic about Love. According to the Erikson's theory, you can say that I am in young adulthood stage now (approximately between the age of 20 and 30). Before the twentieth century, there were only three stages of life, such as child, adult and old adult .Contemporary society has a variety of markers, such as early childhood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood. As life expectancy began to lengthen, the term "young adulthood" happened to enter into the dictionary. Anyway, Erikson states that it's time for us to achieve the crisis of intimacy Vs isolation in order to move on to the middle adulthood. The virtue is "LOVE”. We are at risk of achieving young adulthood stage which is the stage of committing into intimate relationship .Here is where the question come .Why do we need to commit into the relationship? Most people like love stories, including their own. Love, to some people is addiction. For others it's a fantasy, in which one person expects to be saved by a knight in shining armor. Still others think of love as a game or a war with a winner and loser. Love can be a horror story or a mystery, isn't it? Anyway those are just an example, we cannot really define love. Let back to the point about how to commit into the relationship. According to the Psychosocial researchers, Sternberg formed this theory called”TRIANGULAR SUB THEORY OF LOVE", which is the balancing the three elements of intimacy, passion and commitment.

Here is a picture which I just post above. So you can make sure which pattern of love you are in and I hope all my friends have balanced these three elements and formed a good relationship with your loved one if you have one.

Environmental Problem faced by Myanmar

What are the negative effects that the Myanmar government fail to dispose the plastic bag in proper way?

Have you ever wondered where all the plastic bottles, jugs and containers you collect, rinse and sort so carefully end up after they are hauled off to the recycling centre? The answer is very simple. Right now, they tend to go nowhere. Plastic has never been a big favourite among environmentalists. Production of plastic in Myanmar is rapidly increased and that concerns a lot of environmental pollutions. People use plastic bags because they are readily available and convenient for carrying goods .Another side of this convenience is that if people can get plastic easily, they will discard it the same way. Tons of polymers are used each month as a raw material for producing plastic bags in Yangon Division which is the capital of Myanmar. Dealing with plastic waste is a challenge in developing countries .The plastic pollution can be generally seen in those countries which do not have efficient garbage disposal systems. Current status of solid waste of management in Yangon is as following.
Among the solid waste rate, although the rate for other type of solid waste is higher than plastic waste rate, the side effect of plastic rate is much more important than the rest. Conventional open dumping systems are suitable for other waste ,however ,it is not appropriate for plastic waste because palstic wastes are indegradable and remain spoiling the environment. Burning is an option but it contributes to other negative effects because the fumes produced from burning plastic can spread widely into the atmosphere causing respiratory hazards. Pollution from plastic waste affects not only the land and air, but also waterways and seas as well. It can harm sea life and sometimes small islands of plastic waste can be seen floating in the ocean, therefore greater community awareness is needed to deal with plastic waste. Since 1999, the Pollution Control and Cleaning Department has been piloting a recycling project, which turns plastic waste into containers, however, some kinds of plastic wastes cannot be recycled, such as coloured plastic bags. Plastic pollution will be reduced if the public becomes aware of the issue and takes action to limit the use of plastic. Plastic pollution will no longer be a problem for environment only when people become disciplined and efficient facilities are provided for garbage collection and waste management.

My MeAing Of LiFe !

When I was in Myanmar, I never thought of what the meaning of life was. I was just like a normal teenage girl who liked playing and going out with friends. I have started to realize the meaning of my life after I came to Singapore and this is the first time in my life I feel lost .In Myanmar every time when the problem occurred I had my parent to guide me .But now I have to solve everything myself .This has built up my confidence and has make me to be more independent and slowly realize what the meaning of life is . To me , life is like a long journey and everybody is driving towards their own destinations through individual routes.

The journey may not be as smooth and easy as it looks. However, if you have confidence and trust in yourself, you will be able to make the journey smoothly and reach your destination in no time. Now I am starting a brand new journey in NUS and I know that it is not going to be easy and smooth. But as long as I have strong determination and confidence, I believe I will reach my desired destination .
