We’re Living Faster, But Are We Living Better?

Not long ago people believed that in the future we would work less, have more free time, and bemore relaxed But sadly this has not happened Today we work harder, work longer hours, and aremore stressed than ten years ago We walk faster, talk faster, and sleep less than previousgenerations And although we are obsessed with machines which save us time, we have less freetime than our parents and grandparents had But what is this doing to our health? An American

journalist James Gleick in a new book, Faster: the acceleration of just about everything, says that

people who live in cities are suffering from ‘hurry sickness’ – we are always trying to do more things

in less time As a result, our lives are more stressful He says that if we don’t slow down, we won’tlive as long as our parents For most people, faster doesn’t mean better

1 No time for the news

Newspaper articles today are shorter and the headlines are bigger Most people don’t have enoughtime to read the articles, they only read the headlines! On TV and the radio, newsreaders speakmore quickly than ten years ago

2 No time for stories

In the USA there is a book called One-Minute Bedtime Stories for children These are shorter

versions of traditional stories, specially written for ‘busy parents’ who want to save time!

5 No time for slow sports

In the USA the national sport, baseball, is not as popular as before it is a slow game and matchestake a long time Nowadays many people prefer faster and more dynamic sports like basketball

6 but more time in our cars

The only thing that is slower than before is the way we drive Our cars are faster but the traffic isworse so we drive more slowly We spend more time sitting in our cars, feeling stressed because weare worried that we won’t arrive on time Experts predict that in ten years’ time the average speed onthe road in cities will be 17 km/h

1 The writer wrote the article to encourage us to work more and relax less

2 People today are having a less stressful life than they did in the past

3 People are too busy to read newspapers

Color Matters for What You Wear

Clothes are like a second skin Most likely you feel good when you wear your favorite color What happens when someone sees you wearing any color - for example blue? Does the color send a message?

What do you think about pink and blue for children?

One of the most common examples of color symbolism in clothing is the custom of using pink for girls and blue for boys, but it wasn't always this way This tradition emerged at the turn of the

20th century Since pink was thought to be a stronger color, it was best suited for boys; blue was more delicate and dainty and best for girls In 1921, the Women's Institute for Domestic Science in Pennsylvania endorsed pink for boys, blue for girls

Even more interesting is the fact that pink is the color for baby boys and blue is the color for baby girls in Belgium today

Another interesting fact about pink is that pink is a very masculine color in Bermuda Also, British bankers and barristers have worn pink shirts for decades Pink goes in and out of fashion in other

parts of the world White is the traditional color for a bride's wedding gown in the U.S and most European cultures White symbolizes purity and innocence.

What about the color worn for weddings and funerals?

In Asia, white is the color of death This arises from the belief that death is seen as a beginning and that white represents the purity that the deceased brings into the next life Therefore, brides in Japanand China wear red in traditional wedding ceremonies

White is also associated with death in India, where widows wear white Consequently, red or pink saris are the most popular colors for brides

What about black clothes?

Black symbolizes death and is the traditional color of mourning in Western cultures Black clothing is associated with powerful forces in many parts of the world Bad and good Witches, the devil, ninjas, cat burglars, Darth Vader, Cat Woman, and Batman wear black and so do priests, nuns, judges, mimes, Mennonites, Bedouins, and monks

Maybe the common thread is that these people are signaling their seriousness of purpose - or the need to be hard to see - or both

Here's something else to think about: What happens when the same people wear green? Are they

as powerful? Are the priest and nun as respectable?

a Colors and your personality

b Colors and kids

c Colors and what you wear
