Meme Theory
*Recomendado pela AMICOR Maria Inês Reinert Azambuja* A Forty Year Update on Meme Theory By Joe Brewer32 Comments Forty years ago, the notion that cultural change can be understood as a system of inheritance caught the popular imagination. The concept of “memes” as cultural units analogous to genes was popularized in the writings of Richard Dawkins—creating a great deal of controversy similar to what arose around E.O. Wilson’s book *Sociobiology*, published in the same year as Dawkin’s influential work on this subject. Richard Dawkins really stirred things up with his best-selling book... mais »

Negative Emotions...
Life is not perfect, so why do we expect our emotions to be perfect? In our social media-driven, image-obsessed world, everyone seems to be happy and positive all the time. We feel ashamed of experiencing negative emotions. Positive emotions are worth cultivating, but being constantly upbeat carries its own risks. We must embrace all our emotions, not just the good ones. Research shows that experiencing and accepting anger and sadness are vital to our mental health. Negative emotions can bring us to our depth — they connect us with our deeper selves.
