Concerned Minds

     Hi guys, i know i have been absent for a while and I apologise for that. Today I want to talk about our opinion toward ladies. I have heard few guys perceptions and their opinion to the way ladies should be treated or the way they are expected to behave in certain situations.       In this article i am conceptualizing " Ladies " as women and mothers. Women are retained to many physical, economic and even emotional opportunities within a social system. To be a woman in a society means one has to live up to certain societal expectations.       In Africa we still maintain some of our cultural norms and values despite the transition from pre-modern/traditional to a modern society. However the society expect women to be the absorber of societal ills.  Women are expected to stay "in a domestic violence relationship because this is what is expected from a WISE woman who wants to keep her Husband or Man". The society also have...

       Most parent's try their best to make their children happy and to raise them to their very best. The definition of raising one's kid the RIGHT WAY is a concept unique to family morals and ethics.            Most articles I have read stipulated that there are no right way to raise your kids, i agree  BUT . There is still a clear difference between Right and Wrong . Some parents use this excuse to raise their kids in bad and unconfortable environment's.       There are different types of parenting recognised in psychology today. You can either be a kind of parent that is accommodating, loving but at the same time strict with your rules and consequences and taking your kids into consideration, this type of parenting is called Authoritative Parenting .         You can also choose to be type of parent that does not listen to his/her kids, they don't care of their children'...

   Hi guys,  Today, I want to talk about the relationship and the imbalance between White collar jobs, Blue collar jobs and Pink collar jobs. Oftentimes we fail to realize the link between these jobs and the sectors in which they exist.  In Africa and other part of the world, people tend to focus more attention on certain sectors, and at the same time see others as beyond their reach or dimining (according to Urban Dictionary). Nevertheless, irrespective of the values members of the society place on it, (white collar sector, blue collar sector and pink collar jobs) they all rely on each other.    

          I talked about Being Judged in one of my articles, and today's societal problem is actually not too different  from it. Being judgmental is passing out judgment or voicing an opinion on others about what they should do, wear or how to live their lives. A hypocrite judges someone and still engages in those same actions or thought either secretly or publicly, majority of US engage consciously in such  actions and are still quick to crucify others.        This actions of hasty judgement has become a norm among Nigerians and people show no remorse or concern about such issue, despite the fact that Nigeria is one of the most Religious country in Africa, this is where Christianity, Islam, African Traditional Religion (ATR) exist in large majority and Hinduism, Buddhism and others exist in small group, but our actions and morals negate the doctrine and practices of Religion. Some of us from this part of the world...

   Hi guys, I want to use this opportunity to explain what CONCERNED MINDS is really about.      I started my blog because i wanted a common place where we are all free to express ourselves and to talk on important societal issues.      I am a sociologist and this blog follows a sociological concept. The issues we talk about on my blog are things we ought to be talking about but most of us just talk about these things we our friends and maybe families, but my blog gives you the opportunity to talk about these societal issues with people you don't know and as a result gives you more insight on how other people view things.

   Judgement is an opinion or decision based on thoughts,  feelings and evidence "within the first seven seconds of meeting someone,  our brain makes you different  decision,  about them including their intelligence, socioeconimic status, education, competence and trustworthiness, " said corporate image consultant and personal braind strategist Anna Hinson.      It's so easy to pass out judgement on other people and most times we expect not to be judged. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Judgement can be positive  or negative,  everyone has a philosophy  or a certain way they feel one should live his/her life.  How you deal with this judgement is up to you.       One thing is you can't satisfy everyone just do what is right and make sure you are happy. Judging only becomes a problem when we make unnecessary,  hurtful or unfair judgment based on little evidence.  People will always que...
