RE: Transformation of a lake into a desert. Environmental Effects and Social Consequences.
I am humbled! I am just writing what makes me happy and I like to share it with everyone, it's our duty to make science interesting to others! We would be much further in development if we would have more people doing science! Advances lay in science, and science lays in numbers of children following a science career. Which is why we must prove that science is cool, the children in my country always say that they want to be footballers and businessmen but few of them want to be doctors or scientists. I am trying to even out the balance! :P
This is even worse for girls as they don't even think science is a world for them. Only the most emotionally powerful girls choose science. I wrote about it last month but it's nice to check out: https://steemit.com/gender/@alexdory/a-thought-on-gender-bias-and-complying-to-the-gender-biased-world
The theme of the prince charming and the perfect princesses had their effect on the idealization of how our future partners should be or how we should be ourselves. I celebrate that today the princesses of the stories of Disney for example, are different from the characters of long ago. They are warriors, determined, brave, fighters and not only beautiful and delicate. The Prince Charming also change, he is no longer perfect.
I would like my daughters to become capable, struggling, enterprising women while still being sweet and delicate. That is another issue that is currently worrying.
I write little and always about a subject that I like and I find interesting. I do not have a definite redaction line and until now I think that it has gone well for me. It can improve and I'm in it!
As for the upbringing of the boys, it is very true that we parents give different crianzas to boys and girls. I have a son and two daughters and I feel reflected in the overprotection of girls. My son likes science and a lot, it was always like that. My daughter does not like it, she is more of music and lyrics.
I suppose that the influence left of methe raising of my grandmothers and my mother dominated in the way of raising my children.
I share your opinion about we should make science fun and eye-catching for children as a way to build better generations.
