How Do I Learn To Forgive Myself? Gives a perfect example of an unhealthy relationship, the author shares her story: “I was in a relationship for over six years. Everyone was sure we were going to get married, including the two of us. We bought a home together and lived a relatively peaceful life. We had some major issues though. I did not like his family, and he was a very family oriented guy. Dinner 2-3 times a week....random stop-ins. Oh yeah, and they all lived down the street from us. I started drinking a lot because I couldn't stand always being around them. Then the drinking led to drug abuse...all of which I did discreetly. Once in a while, he would catch me, but I always promised to get help. I even started seeing a psychiatrist and went on anti-depressants. The frequency of sex decreased slowly until it just came to a stop. I felt alone, and I felt awful about drinking and doing drugs behind his back. He was such a great guy though, and I kept telling myself I needed to just be content with the life I was living. Then a one-night hook-up with a married man happened, and suddenly I was having...

You may use short-answer responses, including lists, to answer these questions. 1. What are the characteristics of intimate relationships? What are behavioral interdependence, need fulfillment, emotional attachment, and emotional availability? Why is each important in relationship development? The characteristics of an intimate relationship are respect, trust, feeling secure, desire and being one another’s cheerleader. I think that behavioral interdependence, need fulfillment, emotional attachment, and emotional availability are really you and your partner being there for each other. We all want to be listened to, loved and needed. If there is no emotional attachment or availability I do not believe a relationship can flourish. There is no connection without these elements, we need to listen to each other and offer heartfelt support or advice on whatever is bothering the other person. These will cultivate a bond and trust with each other. 2. What problems might form barriers to intimacy? What actions can you take to reduce or remove these barriers? Barriers to intimacy could be past trauma, bad experiences or lack of confidence. I think in some instances a therapist may help you to overcome past issues as well as coping techniques.

...Healthy Relationships Both partners should feel safe to share their thoughts without feeling that their partner will judge them. They should be able to communicate with one another without having any fear of judgement or ridicule. They should also help build their partners self-esteem and make them feel good about themselves regardless of the situation. They shall embrace one another and respect each other. In order for the couple to maintain a healthy and successful relationship, the couple should nurture open and honest communication, encourage the expression of feelings, and build self-esteem amongst each other. Communication is a significant component in a healthy and successful relationship. The three main successful parts to communication is verbal communication, physical communication, and mental communication. Verbal communication is the ability to carry out a successful conversation without any interruptions. For instance, when a couple argues, it should be over a justifiable reason and not over something minute. If the couple argues over little things that should have been resolved before the conversation even occurred, then their relationship will soon collapse or lead to greater difficulties in the future. Physical communication is the physical contact needed to nourish the partners needs. For example, if the wife comes home from work and is feeling stressed out or had a bad day, the husband should be there to comfort her. Giving comfort to your partner will let...

...profit. There are other firms that involve in the industry of frozen food, so McCain is not the only producer of chips, rather it competes with other firms to win the largest portion of market. In addition, the entry or exit from this market is not restricted. As a result, we can conclude that McCain is a competitive monopolist as it seeks to take control over this industry. In 2005, a challenging environmental factor was facing McCain. The concerns about obesity were rising dramatically, especially in children, as over 22 million children under the age of 5 and around 155 million school-age children worldwide were severely overweight.¹ McCain's view is that its chips can and do play a role in a healthy balanced diet and it is continually finding ways to ensure that its products are as healthy as possible, for example, McCain dictates product standards to the potato growers that supply them, and it may choose to have more vertical control (i.e., direct ownership) over the processing, packaging, and distribution stages of the supply chain for their french-fries because these practices may entail sophisticated production techniques that are best performed in-house.² In response to the challenge, McCain made a SLEPT analysis to study the social, legal, economic, political and technological factors that affect the company business, and as a result they made the following changes and adaptations: 1. Quantities usage reduction of salt and oil. 2. Usage of sunflower oil instead...

Health/wellness which was recently considered as a niche concept has managed to gather a mainstream audience in today’s time.

In response to this marketers have launched major products and even services that contribute round 600 billion INR to the wellness market in India .This industry is continuing to grow and it still remains a fraction which is about 4 % or less of the overall consumer expenditure in India. Indian consumers have shown a wide display of behaviour characteristics right from passive where demand of such wellness products is very less to believers for whom wellness is an integral part. Thus it is very important for the wellness players to identify their target segment or core consumer target, so that they can align their value proposition with specific needs of this segment.

But when I came to Canada, my diet plan degraded drastically. My health is downgrading which I feel many-a-times. I suffer from acute migraine pains, low hemoglobin and high stress.

...McDonald’s and Obesity Memo Chutian Chen MBA 603 03/22/2016 Q1: What McDonald’s need to respond is to change the traditional image. When Ronald McDonald represents the unhealthy lifestyle, people will avoid eating them. I think there is no need to eliminate Ronald McDonald in its ads, because Ronald McDonald is a symbol of McDonald’s. What they need to do is to take steps to change people’s thought of McDonald. If in ads, Ronald McDonald sell healthy salad or fruit to children, people will change their mind when think about McDonald’s. Q2: So, for fast-food companies, they only have one choice between pay 1.5% tax on their ad budgets and add health messages to their commercials. That’s a great way to solve the dilemma between the growing in food market and the rising of obesity. The first advantage of the law is the food company have to pay something to help government solving the obesity problem. Second, the law can force food company focus more on the obesity problem, and give them a chance to change their stereotyped image in public. For McDonald, I highly recommend them adding health messages to their commercials. As we all know that, for the most of giant food companies, ad budget is a large portion in their annual budget. 1.5% tax on their ad budgets can be an unaffordable burden for them. If McDonald choose adding health messages to their commercials, they will gain many benefits. First, McDonald has a very specific segmentation, so the ad with health messages...
