Seamful Sutures: Gender Exploration and Identity Expression Using Augmented Reality Facial Filters

This paper examines gender performativity and identity as expressed through facial beauty filters, as mainstreamed on dominant social media platforms Instagram and TikTok. It provides a framework for the widespread use of augmented reality (AR) filters on social media, which we theorize in relation to feminist and queer methodologies, as well as screen theories of “seamfulness” and “mechanic sutures.” With reference to studies of selfie culture, social media, and digital beauty norms, as well as illustrative examples of the facial filters’ design and use, we consider idealized forms of cisgender feminine appearance as well as queer and nonbinary forms of identity. Our case studies range from analysis of the viral Bold Glamour makeup filter to custom filters made by musicians Björk and Ariana Grande. We highlight potential benefits to these filters, including their ability to playfully shield the user’s face from a critical gaze, to reduce costs associated with presenting idealized forms of beauty, and to offer nonbinary users liminal media spaces through which to explore self-image. Overall, the paper provides a theoretical model for understanding the widespread use of facial filters on social media and their impact for intersectional gendered dynamics. It also provides important historical and conceptual context to dominant critical discourse that foregrounds their negative impact on women over other potential benefits.

FIGHTING EXERCISES AGAINST MANY OPPONENTS IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION LESSONS, SPECIFICALLY KARATE-DO, AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BUCHAREST

Background. During the Karate lessons with the advances students of the University of Bucharest, one specific method of training it is represented by the exercise of Happo Kumite. It is practiced with great pleasure by the high ranking colour belts students because the defender must block and counter-attack continously against eight adversaries surrounding him. (The word „Happo” refers to the eight main directions of possibilities for an attack). Objectives. This Kumite is based on a principle of self-defence. One should be able to defend himself against any directions of an attack. It is possible to face such an encounter in life. If unaccustomed to this kind of exercise, a student who can successfully defending himself against one opponent would be helpless against many adversaries and the techniques used would not be effective if he fails to realise this important requirement of self-defence. In order to face, a period ( 30 seconds to 2 minutes) surrounded by adversaries, this Kumite, more than others, requires the following qualities: promptness, endurance, proper breathing, smoothness (Tenshin, Tai Sabaki) and physical and mental control such as: timing, balance, relaxed attitude, concentration, acuteness, etc. Special attention must be given to this method for developing these qualities. Methods. In the initial stage, for the correct acquisition of motor skills specific to the respective theme, a wide range of methods is applied, in accordance with pedagogical principles: The method of explanation. It is used in all stages of preparation. One of the basic requirements of the explanation is that it should be short and understandable to those who have to learn it. The method of demonstration. It can be used in the discipline of karate through several procedures: the procedure of direct real demonstration and mediated demonstration procedure. Exercise method. The exercise method in Happo Kumite includes several procedures: the procedure of the constructively decomposed exercise, global exercise procedure and the procedure of full exercise under the conditions of additional efforts. Results. In performance of the Happo Kumite during physical education lessons at the University of Bucharest, the students will improve the coordination of mind and body, timing, balance, agility, endurance and fluidity of movement between techniques. To avoid the hazard of being winded, the students will also learn how to give special attention to the rhythm of breathing as this will greatly influence physical endurance and self-confidence. Conclusion. Because Happo Kumite involve the use of the whole body, these movements are an ideal form of physical exercise. They can be learned first individually and after that, practiced in groups of physical education classes by students – young, old, male or female. With this kind of exercise, the physical educational lessons will be more attractive and the progress of the students of University of Bucharest will be notable. Efficiency is acquired by practise. This important point should not be forgotten.

MODELOS DE ALEITAMENTO MATERNO E SUAS INDICAÇÕES: UMA REVISÃO LITERÁRIA

Human milk is a food rich in macro and micronutrients, as well as anti-inflammatory agents, immunoglobulins, and antioxidants that promote the infants’s health. Breastfeeding brings significant benefits to both mothers and babies, such as reducing postpartum complications and promoting neuropsychomotor and immunological development in the baby. However, there are situations that may hinder breastfeeding, such as low milk production or the mother’s health conditions, which requires the use of formula. This work conducts an integrative review of the forms of breastfeeding and the circumstances that may influence the choice of the most suitable method for mothers and babies in the first six months of life. The methodology involved analyzing articles published between 2010 and 2024 in various databases. The results highlight that breastfeeding is the ideal form of nutrition, promoting emotional bonds and nutritional benefits. However, the choice between breastfeeding and formula should consider socioeconomic and health variables. The concluding remarks reaffirm that exclusive breastfeeding is the WHO recommendation until six months, but the introduction of formula may be necessary in specific cases. Contraindications to breastfeeding are discussed, emphasizing the importance of individualized decisions to ensure the child’s well-being.

Experience of Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis In Remote Area of Southeast Bangladesh

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem that continues to increase in prevalence globally. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease is increasing day by day in low to middle income countries (LMICs). People living in LMICs have the highest need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) despite they have lowest access to various modalities of treatment. As continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) does not require advanced technologies, very much infrastructure, dialysis staff support, it should be an ideal form of RRT in LMICs, particularly for those living in remote areas. To authors knowledge there was scarcity of data regarding CAPD performance in remote area of Bangladesh. This study was aimed to report the characteristics and outcomes of CAPD in ESRD patients lived in least developed area of Bangladesh. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in Cox’sbazar Medical College Hospital, Cox’sbazar and Parkview hospital Ltd, Chattogram, Bangladesh. Data were collected by questionnaire from the patients of any age with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who underwent CAPD in 2018–2021. The baseline characteristics, PD-related complication as well as patient and technique survivals were analyzed. Results: Out of 31 patients who underwent CAPD, 18 (58%) were male on the age range of 15–79 years. The mean follow-up duration was 18 months. Mortality was inversely related with the EF of echocardiography. The peritonitis rate was 0.48 episodes per patient per year. The 1, 3 and 4-year patient survival rates were 64.34% (95% CI = 52.5–81.5), 23.79% (95% CI = 17.9 – 57.4) and 3.22% (95% CI = 31.2–77.5) respectively. Conclusions: In this study, CAPD performance was poorer than usual reference. Cardiac compromised patient and inappropriate dwell might be the main contributing factors behind this scenario. The peritonitis rate was nearly similar to that of developed countries. CAPD was cost effective than HD in remote area. Some accessible measures may be taken to make CAPD a more acceptable RRT modality with improved outcomes in poor socioeconomic backgrounds area. J Dhaka Med Coll. 2023; 32(1) : 24-31

Pluralism and the unity of science: physics and political epistemology in Cassirer’s phenomenology of knowledge

AbstractIn this article, we analyse how Ernst Cassirer’s approach of a phenomenology of knowledge deals with the general question of disunity in science and society. By elaborating on the concept of functional unity, which presupposes difference, Cassirer’s work helps to revise foundational concepts of modern science and society, such as pluralism and truth. Relating Cassirer’s approach to the current interest in political epistemology, we show the implications of Cassirer’s theory of knowledge and analyses of modern science, particularly physics. In these analyses, Cassirer carves out the relational logic of scientific knowledge and its consequences on epistemological and ethico-political levels. While this logic of relations relativises absolute claims on either level, it entails its distinct normative criteria as elements of the scientific ideal. Cassirer’s project defends this ideal and thus can simultaneously defend plurality in science (including the humanities) in terms of methods, perspectives and aims, and preserve the unity of science as a normative ideal and symbolic form in constant interaction with other forms. Thus, Cassirer’s pluralism must be distinguished from mere historicist or relativist conceptions.

Rethinking Intergenerational Living as the Ideal Form of Senior Care: Life Course Research with Immigrant Families in Toronto

Canada’s care systems are ill-equipped to support its aging population, and this crisis intertwines with an acute shortage of affordable housing. Immigrants to Canada have a higher propensity to cohabitate multi-generationally, an arrangement that is sometimes romanticized as an ideal form of senior care. This article contributes to scholarship exploring intergenerational cohabitation as a practice of care, using life course research to consider how class and migration timing shape experiences of intergenerational living and senior care. Based on 19 in-depth interviews with immigrant seniors from Latin America and the Caribbean (n=10) and family caregivers (n=9) living in the Greater Toronto Area, this study uncovers two central findings. First, intergenerational living should not be viewed as an ideal form of senior care since (1a) some seniors resist intergenerational living, preferring independence and downtown residence nearer to culturally relevant communities and (1b) cohabitation does not always provide sufficient or better care. Second, access to smooth multigenerational cohabitation is inequitable, as housing arrangements are structured by class and migration timing, with middle-class families who have been in Canada longer facing fewer barriers to positive experiences of intergenerational living, compared to more recent migrants with lower incomes. This article challenges culturally essentializing assumptions about immigrant intergenerational cohabitation and argues that access to affordable housing is a senior care issue.

Cripping the Creature

The article suggests that we “crip” monsters by reading their weaknesses as disabilities when measured (as all disabilities are) against a culturally constructed standard of a normate human body. As a case study, the article offers an analysis of the mental, moral, and spiritual disabilities of the vampiric body in Bram Stoker’s Dracula ; the suggestion being that the novel’s compulsion (and ultimate failure) thoroughly to “Otherize” the monster springs from anxieties about the somatic links between vampires and their human prey/progeny, which reveals the artificiality of many criteria used to evaluate humans and vampires. The claim in this reading is that the uncomfortable similarities between human and vampiric embodiment and the competition for white human women as a site of reproduction raise questions about the relative fitness of the human and vampire races for survival. Presenting disability in monstrous bodies destabilizes notions of the normate human body as the ideal form of embodiment and unsettles human notions of what constitutes fitness for survival in ways that may enable a productive discourse at the intersection of disability and monster studies, despite the troubled history of these two labels.

(Mis)Alignment in resident and advisor co-regulated learning in competency-based training.

In implementing competence-based medical education (CBME), some Canadian residency programmes recruit clinicians to function as Academic Advisors (AAs). AAs are expected to help monitor residents' progress, coach them longitudinally, and serve as sources of co-regulated learning (Co-RL) to support their developing self-regulated learning (SRL) abilities. Implementing the AA role is optional, meaning each residency programme must decide whether and how to implement it, which could generate uncertainty and heterogeneity in how effectively AAs will "monitor and advise" residents. We sought to clarify how AA-resident dyads collaboratively interpret assessment data from multiple sources, co-create learning goals and action plans and attempt to enhance residents' SRL skills. Shortly after each of their six meetings during two years of Internal Medicine residency, we conducted individual, brief interviews with AAs (N = 10) and residents (N = 10). We analysed transcripts using an abductive framework with theory-based and evidence-based sensitizing concepts. We collected 49 residents and 36 AA 'meeting debriefs', which produced rich data on how dyads variably engaged in SRL and Co-RL. Residents and AAs adopted "learning stances" that oriented their perceptions and approaches to Co-RL. Their stances did not always align within dyads. We found unique patterns in how stances evolved or devolved over time, and in how these changes impacted dyads' Co-RL processes. While some dyads evolved to engage in proactive co-regulation, most stayed consistent or oscillated reactively in their relationships, with little apparent Co-RL focused on helping residents to develop clinical competencies through SRL. We catalogued multiple influential sources of regulation of learning. The conceptually ideal form of Co-RL was not consistently achieved in this well-intended implementation of AA-resident dyads. To better translate 'coaching over time' from intention to practice, we recommend that residency programmes use Co-RL principles to refine CBME processes, including refining assessment tools, resident orientation sessions and faculty development practices.

Paradojas dialécticas del modelo de competencia perfecta de la teoría económica neoclásica

Neoclassical economic theory holds, with apparent certainty, that the model of perfect competition is an idealized form of real markets. Although difficult to find, it is of enormous importance as a scientific concept and as a guide to practice. In this article we propose that this statement is partially incorrect. Neither is perfect competition an idealized form of real markets, nor can it serve as an adequate guide for an economic policy on the ordering of markets. Instead, perfect competition and other similar concepts are topological variants of spontaneous order. From the two previous considerations, a set of paradoxes and inconsistencies derive that, however, do not totally invalidate the search for transcendental concepts, if we correctly locate their place in the social sciences.

A chitosan-modified tea tree oil self-nanoemulsion improves antibacterial effects in vivo and in vitro and promotes wound healing by influencing metabolic processes against multidrug-resistant bacterial infections

Infectious diseases, especially multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, have caused crises and majorly disrupted public health and economic stability worldwide. Many natural essential oils, especially tea tree oil, have potential to treat multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as H. pylori and P. aeruginosa. However, there are some problems need to be solved, such as poor stability upon light or oxygen exposure. Therefore, it is urgent to develop the ideal formation to tackle these difficulties. Herein, we reported the novel chitosan-modified self-nanoemulsion (TNE) encapsulating natural essential tea tree oil with strong antibacterial and stability characterize. In this study, we found that this self-nanoemulsion (size: 212 nm, PDI: 0.124, zeta potential: −20.5 mV, 6 % tea tree oil) not only had physical properties, good stability and tissue safety, but also had better antibacterial synergism (2–8 times) than that of water suspension against various multidrug-resistant bacterial (such as H. pylori, MRSA and P. aeruginosa). Additionally, TNE showed high antibacterial effectiveness in vivo, reduced inflammation, promoted ulcer healing after H. pylori infection and accelerated wound healing after P. aeruginosa infection. Importantly, this novel self-nanoemulsion can induce 274 protein down-regulated and 251 protein up-regulated, and disrupt H. pylori metabolic processes (glyoxylate, dicarboxylic acid, glutamate and tryptophan metabolism) and reduced its viability, leading to significant synergistic antibacterial effects. TNE is a potential treatment for skin wounds or ulcers caused by multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

Can Consciousness Have Blind Spots? : A Renewed Defence of Sri Aurobindo's Opaque Cosmopsychism

This article defends the cosmopsychist doctrine of the Indian philosopher-mystic Sri Aurobindo, arguing that it has distinct advantages over rival panpsychist positions. After tracing the dialectical trajectory of recent philosophical debates about panpsychism up to the present, I bring Aurobindo into dialogue with Miri Albahari, who has defended a form of panpsychist idealism based on the classical Advaita Vedānta philosophy of Śankara. I critique Albahari's panpsychist idealism from an Aurobindonian standpoint, arguing that its Śankaran metaphysical commitments and eliminativist implications make it an unsatisfactory account of consciousness. I then summarize Aurobindo's cosmopsychism and explain its distinctive solution to the individuation problem, which is widely considered to be the most serious problem for all forms of cosmopsychism. According to Aurobindo, Divine Consciousness individuates into multiple creaturely consciousnesses through the twin processes of 'self-limitation' and 'exclusive concentration'. I conclude the paper by addressing several potential objections to Aurobindo's cosmopsychism.

Surface Lattice Engineering Enables Efficient Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells

AbstractState‐of‐the‐art inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have exhibited considerable promise for commercialization due to their prospective stability. However, the intricate crystallization of halide perovskite, especially for multi‐component perovskites, not only distorts the surface lattice from its ideal form but also introduces numerous unsaturated dangling bonds to form surface defects, which can easily lead to reduced stability and poor performance. Herein, a surface lattice engineering is developed by coupling surface unsaturated ions and regulating ion bonding lengths/angles to achieve efficient and stable inverted PSCs. The renovated surface lattice not only eliminates shallow/deep level defects on the surface of perovskite, but also enhances photo/thermal stability of the materials. Moreover, the surface lattice engineering contributes to uniform potential surface, and improves energy‐level alignment at the interfaces of the perovskite and C60 carrier transport layer, enhancing charge carrier extraction and transportation. Finally, the champion PSC delivers an impressive efficiency of 25.82% (certified 25.5%). Moreover, these PSCs exhibit excellent operational stability, retaining 94% initial efficiency after more than ≈1 000h maximum power point test.

Le gouvernement est encore le seul Européen de la Russie… О концепции «Русского момента» Маршалла Т. По

The history of studying the processes of modernization of the state and society and the transition from tradition to modernity in Russia has come a long way. Researchers from different schools and directions have offered a wide variety of explanations for the phenomenon of Russian modernization, trying to answer the question of whether Russia was really able to go this route to the end and what is unique about the Russian version of modernization. Naturally, when discussing this problem, most humanities scholars viewed it from a Eurocentric position, placing Russia, depending on the traditions of the school to which they belonged, either in a European context or in an Asian one. The American historian Marshall Poe, in his book about the “Russian moment” in history, which became a bestseller, tried to give his original answer to the question – why Russia, unlike other early modern nonEuropean empires, succeeded on the path of modernization, given that the starting conditions were unfavorable to her. The secret of the success of Russia, which, according to M. Poe, is not Europe, and especially not Asia, was that the Russian military elite was able to create a political regime (autocracy as an ideal form of monarchy, brought to the absolute), which ensured the mobilization of the meager Russian resources to resist Western expansion. Along the way, the autocracy, as M. Poe believed, restructured Russian society accordingly, resorting to methods of sophisticated social engineering. M. Poe’s concept cannot be denied of harmony, logic and persuasiveness, but, as the author of the review shows, in pursuit of an effective presentation, the author of “The Russian Moment” deliberately omitted a number of essential details of the Russian historical process. As a result, closer examination of his concept reveals that it suffers from a number of inherent flaws that cast doubt on its entirety and, according to the author of the review, make it nothing more than a curious historiographical artefact.

한·중 <새털옷신랑> 설화 비교

This study compares the Korean and Chinese The Man in Feather Clothes to analyze the growth of man, the help of woman, the meaning of the ability required of man, woman’s assistance, and the establishment of an ideal male-female community. First, I focus on the 19th and 39th episodes of The Man in Feather Clothes in Korea and China respectively. The commonalities and differences were examined under three motifs: A. “The male marries a pretty female,” B. “The female is stolen by a powerful person,” and C. “The male recovers the female using the bird feather clothes.” Subsequently, I discuss male growth and female assistance. Korean folktales emphasize the activeness of the female protagonists, and pay attention to the act of male protagonists violating a taboo. On the other hand, Chinese folktales tend to ignore the act of vilating a taboo and emphasize the activeness of the male protagonist. In both folktales, the male and female protagonists make contact with the “power of nature” through bird feather clothes, and in Korean folktales, an ideal male protagonist image according to Confucian ideology is presented, whereas in Chinese folktales, a shamanic character is emphasized. They all subverted power and violence by borrowing the “power of nature” and beinging it into human society. In addition, it is noted that women’s assistance in the folktales of the two countries have an effect of subverting power beyond simple roles in the home, and women’s right to speak has the meaning of social participation and challenge to power. Furthermore, it also shows the ideal form of the male and female community. In the tales of The Man in Feather Clothes of the two countries, it is emphasized that women’s voices go beyond simple domestic roles to influence the overthrow of power, and women’s right to speak has the meaning of social participation and a challenge to power. Furthermore, it shows the ideal image of a male-female community and the anthropological idea of symmetry.

Linking the natural man to the res publica in the works of Marcus Tullius Cicero

AbstractThere is no consensus on the importance of Cicero's doctrine of the state (res publica) among the prominent figures and scholars of political theory. In our view, the main reason for this is that the discussion of the political theoretical insights of the corpus Ciceronianum is too often reduced to a repetition of stereotypes. Cicero's key works on political doctrine, such as the De oratore, the De re publica and the De officiis, are mostly analysed from a philosophical point of view, with historical and legal aspects being put to one side. The characteristics of the mixed constitution (mikte politeia), which is at the heart of Cicero's theory of the res publica, are only superficially examined. What is also mostly overlooked is the extremely significant fact that in the De re publica Cicero (unlike Plato, for example) not only develops a philosophically grounded theory of the state, the res publica, but also applies his theory to finding the state, and in particular its ideal form, the optimus status civitatis, in the historical reality of Rome, that is, his own state. In this way, Cicero connects ratio and res, thus establishing the harmony and, indeed, unity of idea and history. The value of this important idea is not in the least affected by the fact that Cicero was undoubtedly an eclectic thinker rather than a consistent exponent of the views of any school or current. That, it seems to us, helped him greatly to lay the foundations of a doctrine of the state that could influence political thought centuries, even millennia, later, up to the political thought of the first decades of the 21st century.

The dramaturgy of listening

AbstractThe literature on listening and daily discourse often describes an overly romanticized conception of listening, meaning what it should be in its ideal form. However, at most, this ideal is realized through the ‘masks’ that listeners ‘carry’ during their performance of listening. The ideal version that is being projected through the performance of listening is not cognruent with what actually happens behind the mask and performance. Individuals do not have the cognitive capacities to realize this unrealistic and unattainable ideal, but they have the capacity to act as if they do. Using Goffman’s (1959) dramaturgical account this paper reveals the psychological and social world that hides behind the mask and performance of listening in order to ground the theorizing of listening in a more realistic perspective. This account gives rise to novel and indispensable listening concepts: the definition of the situation, the sincere and cynical listener, undercurrent listening, and misrepresentations of listening. These concepts demonstrate that the study of interpersonal listening cannot be isolated from the dramaturgy of listening as (expressed) manners of listening are intricately and inherently embedded in social structure. This account also strongly contests the psychocentric and simplistic definition of listening as proposed by Kluger, A. N., & Mizrahi, M. (2023). Defining Listening: Can We Get Rid of the Adjectives? Current Opinion in Psychology, 101639.).

Research on pure azimuth passive positioning of unmanned aerial vehicle formation in electromagnetic silence environment

In the electromagnetic silence environment, for the azimuth-only passive localization problem in the conical formation, it was concluded that there was a deviation between the ideal standard formation and the actual formation. These disturbance deviations should be eliminated to make the UAV reach the ideal formation state. Therefore, the adjustment model of individual UAV, the directed graph model of formation node and the MDP model of adjustment strategy are constructed. Based on the relevant factor model constructed, the azimuth-only passive localization model in conical formation is established and solved in MATLAB. Finally, experiments and analysis are carried out in the simulation environment, and the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed algorithm are proved.

JWST NIRSpec Spectroscopy of the Remarkable Bright Galaxy GHZ2/GLASS-z12 at Redshift 12.34

We spectroscopically confirm the M UV = −20.5 mag galaxy GHZ2/GLASS-z12 to be at redshift z = 12.34. The source was selected via NIRCam photometry in GLASS-JWST Early Release Science data, providing the first evidence of a surprising abundance of bright galaxies at z ≳ 10. The NIRSpec PRISM spectrum shows detections of N iv, C iv, He ii, O iii, C iii, O ii, and Ne iii lines and the first detection at high redshift of the O iii Bowen fluorescence line at 3133 Å rest frame. The prominent C iv line with rest-frame equivalent width (EW) ≈ 46 Å puts GHZ2 in the category of extreme C iv emitters. GHZ2 displays UV lines with EWs that are only found in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) or composite objects at low/intermediate redshifts. The UV line-intensity ratios are compatible with both AGNs and star formation in a low-metallicity environment, with the low limit on the [Ne iv]/[N iv] ratio favoring a stellar origin of the ionizing photons. We discuss a possible scenario in which the high ionizing output is due to low-metallicity stars forming in a dense environment. We estimate a metallicity ≲0.1 Z/Z ⊙, a high ionization parameter log U > −2, a N/O abundance 4–5 times the solar value, and a subsolar C/O ratio similar to the recently discovered class of nitrogen-enhanced objects. Considering its abundance patterns and the high stellar mass density (104 M ⊙ pc−2), GHZ2 is an ideal formation site for the progenitors of today's globular clusters. The remarkable brightness of GHZ2 makes it a “Rosetta stone” for understanding the physics of galaxy formation within just 360 Myr after the Big Bang.

EVOLVING MASCULINITY: A STUDY OF BODY POSITIVITY IN MEN

If we are to understand why it is so rare and what the future holds, the topic of body positivity in males has evolved into a complex one that requires discussion. Men frequently encounter irrational expectations that result in body dissatisfaction and a low sense of self- worth in todays society, when media representations of the ideal male form and gender stereotypes predominate. The medias depiction of the ideal male body, which is characterized by muscular proportions and low body fat, is a major reason man are not positive about their bodies. These restrictive rules put pressure on men to conform, which can cause body dissatisfaction and a decrease in self- esteem. Furthermore, the traditional gender roles of men and women indicate the idea that men should be portrayed as strong, stoic, and emotionally controlled, which discourages open conversations about body image issues and the need for assistance. The psychological and mental toll it takes on a person can cause various issues in men, both physically and mentally. It may be caused by constant pressure to meet these standards. Feelings of inadequacy and dissatisfaction can also be a contributing factor. It can lead to chronic problems in life. The most important part of maintaining a healthy state of mind is managing these body image concerns. In men, theres a lot of ways to support positive body image. Through education and awareness programs, these programs challenge harmful beauty norms and promote positive body image. Resources and workshops to help men reject outdated ideas and accepting body positivity need to be provided by schools, organizations, and communities. Its critical that we dismantle obstacles when it comes to mens body image. The secret to building an environment where guys can talk about their issues and receive assistance without fear of judgment is to have open dialogues about topics like how they feel about their bodies and mental health. Social media can also be a useful tool for promoting campaigns that celebrate the diversity of peoples bodies and for sharing fascinating tales that people can relate to.
