IS JEALOUSY NATURAL?

Most of the times relationships go thorough crisis and most of them are because on of the member of the couple is jealous. This members don't know why they have this feeling and furthermore they still have more fear of losing their partner. So, for this reason they ask them if jealousy is natural in a relationship. 


What is jealousy? 

It is an emotion often linked to humans and it is a reflection of their feelings or thoughts as insecurity, fear and the anxiety of losing something of great personal value. This jealousy is always produced by human relationships, particularity romantic once. This word is a set of emotions such as ire,  resentment, disability, futility and disgust.
Nowadays this term includes two words that had been distinguished years ago. They are envy and jealousy.

Therapists declare that jealousy is a evil which come from a childhood trauma or it is a symptom of psychological mental imbalance. They nod that people who feel insecure or who sometimes depend of other persons are prone to be jealousy. 


On the other hand, the assert that is totally normal feel jealousy in a relation because it may strength the relation as a result of make feel flattered your partner considering that he/she can like others. Nevertheless if it is extreme it is 100% probably that the relation can and in any moment because jealousy will make the couple enter to a negative loop and each member will want to find a person who could make their happy.



There are specialist who classified jealousy in different levels. The big distinction that everybody has to know is the healthy jealousy and the unhealthy jealousy. Besides there are feelings or situations that make the difference between this distinction. 

For example we talk about healthy jealousy when our partner go out with other persons because he/she is having fun without you. But in every moment you remember  that you are individuals with freedom and space. Want to have more communication in the relation is another example of healthy jealousy and think about what could be doing when you aren't together, too.


In contrast to healthy jealous, there are unhealthy jealous and the examples of this kind of jealous are ban or restrict your partner to go out with other persons because you think that he or she can't have fun without you. Another example is get angry with your partner because he/she doesn't do what you command him/her. Control your partner in all he/she does or wears and become infuriated if you don't know everything of your partner, too. 

This unhealthy jealous are dreadful for everybody because kill every relation and everyone get tired of having a partner as this and for this reason many relationships with this lattice are toxic and in the end they call it off. 

The investigators affirm that jealous is a trick of the mind because she created her imagination and makes human believe things that aren't real. But if everyone control the imagination and the mind this jealous disappears. 

In conclusion, jealousy is natural in a relationship but there are a little line between healthy jealous and unhealthy jealous and humans have to control our imagination to not suffer this feeling that can end with a relation.

LONDON 2017

It is said that London is the best place to learn english and get along with an amount diversity of people. On April my course will travel to London to visit it and to learn who know our way around the city. 

We'll spend there four days and we'll stay in Satesfay London Elephant and Castle hostel which is located in South London near the London bridge within two km. This hostel have bar-lounge, WiFi in public areas, 24-hours front desk, 72 rooms. One of the rule that we must respect is that pets aren't allowed and we must respect the rest of the others guests. 

Near the hostel there are lots of things to visit as the Cinema Museum, The east street market, Burgess Park, The Southwark Playhouse, Ministry of Sound and many parks and markets that are around this area. 

On the other hand the hostel are situated 15 minutes far away to Piccadilly Circus. Specifically if we take the tube on Elephant & Castle Station we have to walk nine minutes from the hostel to the station. Then we must take the brown line called Bakerloo and we will wait approximately eight minutes (five stops). If we want to go to the center of London on Trafalgar square, for example, we must take the same tube line and stop on Charing Cross Station and we'll spend 15 minutes to arrive there. 

Two nights there, will go to dinner to a restaurants and we must know who arrive there and who return to our hostel. The first restaurant is Leicester Arms and is located in Piccadilly. If we are on London center (Trafalgar Square) we have to take the same line tube, Bakerloo in Charing Cross and in the next stop we will be in Piccadilly. Then we'll have to walk two minutes to arrive to the restaurant. But if we are on the Hostel we must have the same process I explain you before to go to Piccadilly Circus Station. After the dinner to return to the hosel we must walk two minutes to Piccadilly Circus Station and take the brown line tube to Elephant and Castle Station, the journey will be done in 25 minutes.

The second restaurant is Zetland Arms and is located in Kensington. To go there if we are in Trafalgar Square is a long journey where we spend 46 minutes to arrive. We must take the bus 12 on East Street and it must go to Oxford Circus. We must get off on Parliament Square (9 stops) and then walk three minutes to take the tube on Westminster Station and we must choose the green line to South Kensington Station. Then we have tot walk four minutes to arrive to the restaurant. To return to the Hostel we have to do the same we did to go but we must stop in  Larcom Street with the bus 12.

London is a place where there are a lot of monuments to visit. In my case there are three landscapes which I want to visit. There are the Royal Greenwich Observatory, the Buckingham Palace and Queen's Gallery. 

Royal Greenwich Observatory is an astronomical observatory founded in 1675 by Charles II of England. In 1924 was established as the reference of the time zones. Nowadays it is a museum and it it is part of National Maritime Museum. From hostel to there we must take the bus number 53 in Elephant and Castle New Kent Road on the way to Plumstead Station. And we have to stop in Lewisham Road approximately  on 25 minutes (19 stops). 


The Buckingham Palace, it is the official residence of the monarchs. It is famous for hosting the Royal Collection, an extraordinary collection of artworks from royal collection.  Originally was a petit Hôtel built for the first duke of Buckingham in 1703 and it was acquired by King George II in 1762 to convert it into a private residence. From hostel to there we must take the bus number 148 in Heygate Street in Shepherds Bush. Approximately on 23 minutes we must stop on Grosvenor Gardens (12 stops) and we will arrive there. 

The Queen's Gallery is a public art gallery at Buckingham Palace. There are works of art from the Royal Collection. It is situated at the west of the palace and was opened on 1962. From hostel to there we must take the bus number 148 on Larcom Street to Shepherds Bush and we must get off in Vauxhall Bridge Road approximately in 23 minutes (12 stops).



I found this instructions to  move around London, I really believe that it is difficult but this search help me to make it familiar to me.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE BROKENHEARTED WHEN THEY ARE "CATFISHED" ONLINE ?

Currently, we live in a society which is surrounded by Internet and Social Networks. This fact carried out things that never happened before as frauds, hoaxs or love social networks. I found an article that is an opinion article and talks about a TV program called "Catfish". It is about a men who investigate the suspicious people on Internet and trick other persons for a benefit. 

The author of this article is Eva Wiseman and she discovered when she watching the TV show there have been 100 broken hearts because they fall in love with unknown person talking in social networks. The unknown persons says that the camera is broken or that he/she have good light and they use it as a excuse to not show up himself or herself  and be able to continue deceiving the other person. Eva Wiseman states that it happen around the world and not only in this specific cases on televisión. 

On it is explained a specifically case of a women who was fooled by a men who was married and with two children. For this reason when she discovered decided to denounce it on a court and claims that delate the false profiles on this social networks. Then, she explains another story of a women called Clarie and she fall in one of this fools. It hurt her feelings because she sharply feel in love with the false men and never feel the same with other men. 

Eva Wiseman says that this program is entertaining because we can see who people are be able to mislead another one. She determines that Catfish TV program transform the pain of them in pleasure for us. Although, she really want to make conscious to society that there are a lot of people which could fool us and it is a blow because the heart is difficult to heal. 

I really believe Social Networks are dangerous and we don't talk with unknown people as in our day-to-day. So, I agree with Eva Wiseman because we must took some security mesures and limit our feelings because heart feelings are important emotional and a hoax like this may change our life forever or make us into a depression. 

I learn some words when I read the article which helped me to improve my english language. They are suburb, crippled, dupe and travelled

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2017: HISTORY, STRIKES AND CELEBRATIONS

In this post I'll talk about a celebration which happened this week, namely the 8th of March. It was the women's day and took place strikes around the world to become aware people that there are still a large gender inequality. I found a article in BBC news which talks about the origin and the celebrations of this day and I would share it with you. 

Everything started in 1908 when 15.000 of women marched through New York as a labor movement demanding less hours working, better wages and the right of vote. This fact made Socialist Party of America to declare the First National Women's day the following year. To another hand, Clara Zetkin, had the idea of create the international day for women. It happened at a International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen in 1910. It was celebrated for first time in 1911. But it was oficial in 1975 when United Nations started celebrating the day with a annual theme. This day has become a date to celebrate the evolution of women in society and a to aware that the fight isn't over because there are many inequalities. 

Clara Zetkin's idea hadn't fixed a date to celebrate it. Although that nowadays we celebrated it at 8th of April. The day was fixed during a women strike in 1917 in Russia when they got the right of vote. The strike started the 8th of March and for this reason, today we celebrated on this date. 

The International Women's Day is celebrated giving flowers to women. For example in Italy, the flower which they give is mimosa blossom. Furthermore, most of the countries celebrated this day working part-time since the Work Council declares it. 

This year the theme was #BeBoldForChange. During this 2017 there have been strikes around the world as in USA against the ideology of Donald Trump or in Irish against the abortion law. Strikes are summoned in all the world and International Women's day was incredible how many people took the streets to be heard. 

The article also talks about International Men's day. It is on 19th of November but isn't declared official as the women day. The theme of 2016 was Stop Male Suicide. 

I really believe that we, women, have to defend our rights because we are as men and nobody are able to saying or treating us as if we are inferior to them. This article aware me to the fight that women been doing until 100 years. So, We mustn't stop the movement and fight our ancestors begin and we have to end with the gender violence.

I learned new words that appear on the article. It are strike, seeds and mimosa
