5 Primary Things That Affect You And Your Life As A Youth, Adult, Teenage

 Life planning as well as knowing how to design your own future is a wonderful skill to develop, it's important to set goals that you can achieve.

Goal-setting techniques are used by successful people in all fields, by setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure your progress and continuously motivate yourself to progress toward the vision you have for your ideal work life.

''A life well spent, is a life by plan''. Not by accident, and not by just walking through the day moving from wall to wall and managing to survive.

That’s OK. But if you can start giving your life dimensions, objectives and purpose, then the results can be absolutely impressive.

But before you can do that, you need to know the five primary things that affect all of us, our lives and our goals:

   1. Watching Porn/Sex Video and Images

1.As men fall deeper into the mental habit of fixating on [pornographic images], the exposure to them creates neural pathways.

Like a path is created in the woods with each successive hiker, so do the neural paths set the course for the next time an erotic image is viewed.

Over time these neural paths become wider as they are repeatedly traveled with each exposure to pornography.

They become the automatic pathway through which interactions with woman are routed…. They have unknowingly created a neurological circuit that imprisons their ability to see women rightly as created in God’s image (Wired For Intimacy, 85).

In a similar vein regarding porn’s effect upon the brain, Naomi Wolf writes in her article, “The Porn Myth,”
After all, pornography works in the most basic of ways on the brain: It is Pavlovian.

An orgasm is one of the biggest reinforcer imaginable. If you associate orgasm with your wife, a kiss, a scent, a body, that is what, over time, will turn you on; if you open your focus to an endless stream of ever-more-transgressive images of cybersex slaves, that is what it will take to turn you on.

The ubiquity of sexual images does not free errors but dilutes it.

 

   2. Drug/Alcohol Abuse

  There was a time in cinematic history where virtually every actor/actress was portrayed on screen with a cigarette in hand. Smoking, it was implied, was cool. As a result everyone was doing it, including kids. Well, as awareness to the danger of smoking increased, “cool” images of smoking disappeared. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about drugs and alcohol. These vices are staples in everyday media. Simply, drinking and using drugs is shown as being cool.

The numbers bear the tale. 21% of high school seniors say they get high and 41% of the same group report drinking alcohol. Our kids are literally moving around in an intoxicated daze. Immature behavior is then amplified due to being under the influence. Drunk driving, poor grades and attendance, anti-social and violent behavior and the list goes on.

 

   3. Technology's Negative effects

Neurosis
Technology causes people to suffer from mental and emotional disturbances, such as anxiety, phobias and delusions, which are all symptoms of neurosis
. Being convinced you’re very ill after looking up strange diseases on WebMD or thinking you are famous because you have had a viral video are a couple of ways technology neurosis manifests itself.

Loss of Hearing and Eyesight
Using headphones and ear buds can cause people to lose their hearing over time. Likewise, straining your eyes looking at computer and device screens can cause people to need glasses much earlier in life.
Be more mindful of the time you spend using technology. If you have longer conversations with Siri than you do with real people, it’s probably time to put the phone down. Force yourself to have an electronic-free day or weekend. When you go on vacation, don’t take your phone or at least put it on “do not disturb”. Creating balance will help you enjoy the benefits of technology without becoming a mindless internet zombie.

 

   4. Violence

A child’s education is the foundation from which he or she will be able to go forth out into the world and build a life.

Schools play a major role in this endeavor, and therefore it is reasonable to expect that these places of learning would be safe havens for the children while they are preparing for adulthood. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

In many instances, especially in low income, urban settings, schools can be a war zone. We are not talking about minor bullying, but rather serious violence.

Consider that in the last decade 284 kids were murdered due to school violence, these were shootings, stabbings, fighting and suicides.

Growing up is tough enough without having to be worried about being killed while going to math class.

 

  5. Unemployment

The study aimed at identifying the social and psychological effects resulted from unemployment on the youth in the Jordanian community from their own perspective and their future attitudes.

In addition it aimed to identify the social roles of the youth which are affected by the different problems they are exposed to because of lack of chances of work which made them anxious, depressed and fear of doing any specific work and being unable to change their life track to the best.

The objectives of the study were achieved through the instrument of the study which was distributed on the sample of the study.

The effects of the unemployment were studied in different areas represented such effects on the social life and the psychological problems of the youth, in addition to such effects on the roles of the youth in the community the findings related to the effect of the unemployment on the social problem that face the youth indicated that the delay of marriage age is the most prominent social problem.

As for the psychological problems, the findings showed that the hostility feeling is the worst feeling those persons have within their community especially when comparing themselves with those who work.

Finally, as for the roles of the youth, the participants showed that the unemployment causes confusion and disability of doing their own roles in the future.
