One of the most striking phenomena in the Japanese society are a criminal yakuza groupings. Unlike the Western mafia associations, the yakuza are legitimate formations with clear rules and a strict code of honor. Japanese people have put up with the existence of criminal clans for a long-long, considering them an integral part of the traditional way of life. However, under the pressure of the authorities, the level of confidence in the yakuza has been gradually decreasing in recent years. There is not enough reliable information about how exactly such phenomena came to life. Some members of this community tend to consider themselves descendants of the Samurai class, many of whom in the distant past lost Suzerains and became wandering ronin.

Despite the rapid advancements in the field of medical science, many aspects of the human condition are still left to be explored. In the last century, the fields of psychiatry, neuroscience and psychology, committed their struggles towards understanding and healing the afflictions of the mind. Traditionally, the treatment of mental conditions was usually divided into two categories – pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. The former relies on treating mental illness and distress with the use of, as the name suggests, careful implementation of drugs. The latter, however, abstains from the excessive use of chemicals and prefers to utilize other methods. These methods include, for example, the cognitive-behavioral therapy, which assumes that mental conditions stem from illogical patterns of thinking, and aims to fix those patterns. Behavioral therapies (not to be confused with cognitive-behavioral methods) are also utilized, and rely on exposing the patient to their problem. R

Instagram vs. Real Life Nowadays there is a huge amount of photos “Instagram vs Reality” which can actually make you motivated or depressed. In this short article I would like to bring this topic a little bit closer and present real pictures but at the beginning I would like to present the general assumptions of the Instagram.

There are no groups, no information page, no subpages, just your profile, profiles of photos and hashtags, actually billions of hashtags.

We all, 7 590 378 000 people in the world, produce 2.12 Billion tonnes of waste globally each year. Annually this number increases by 3%.So if the current trends of living continue, by the 2025 year we will double this number. Most of the garbage is thrown into rivers, seas and oceans. One of the consequences is forming of Great Pacific garbage patch which consists of about 87 tons. But even more detrimental it effects on aquatic animals. Many of them eat garbage and die and the rest of them are become harmful to consumption. So because of that statistic says that in 30 years there will not be any seafood in the ocean. It is hard to imagine what will be with earth in 50 years if we do nothing. And I’m not even talking about any other world’s pollution or cosmic trash, or increasing population, or climate change. Well. what we need to do to stop this? Sorting system became the most popular in European countries. And in my opinion this should become a common thing for e
