1. What do you think about his seminars??
I absolutely love Mark Gungors seminars. His talent of storytelling and comedic approach to difficult problems makes his videos very entertaining and interesting to watch.

2. Do you think that comedic approach to marriage problems is more helpful then more serious one? Why?
I do not think that a certain approach can be better than others in every situation. Even though I love his way of describing marriage problems, I know people who would find serious approach more helpful.

3. Do you agree with his statement about differences in man/woman brain?
Well, those statements are funny, they even may be true sometimes, but I find differences mentioned by him a bit stereotypical. A good thing to laugh at, but in my opinion, should not be taken as an universal fact.

4. What do you think about empty box mentioned in film? Did you ever go there?
Well, I think that everybody has some kind of an emty box in his or her head. And of course, if I’m in a mood of not thinking about anything, I will go there.
1. This is the first one I’ve ever seen, and it is original for sure. If I was there and used English as a native language I would probably laugh as much as those people. I don’t know anything about that man, but I suppose that apart from being funny his seminars are also very substantive.

2. Honestly, I don’t know, because I know nothing about psychology or marriage related problems. For some people it could be more helpful, but it depends on the way someone acquires new information. While watching that short fragment I had an impression that it would be more helpful for women because men were portraited as those who suffer from women’s lack of understanding their brain.

3. I think that this statement is very generalised. Maybe from the statistical perspective we could say that majority of people represents their genders by those factors, but I am quite sure that everyone is different and there are men who behave just like Mark Gungor’s description of woman and vice versa. His theory is probably mostly true, because if I confront it with my observations I see that indeed men are usually ashamed of their failures and problems, so they don’t want to talk about it which is opposite to what women do.

4. Would it be naïve and untrue if I said that I have no empty box in my head? I just can’t understand dumb sitting in front of a TV or any other form of doing nothing with an exception of sleeping or snoozing. Why should we waste our time instead of having fun? I feel sorry for people who have no interests at all and tend to spend much time on switching the TV channels.
I can only imagine, what would happen with sir Mark if he had this performance nowadays. Probably obliterated by the hordes of feminists, deeply offended and morally wounded by such rudeness and mockery.

As for marriage and family life, I am not planning on having one, partially because I have witnessed enough couples struggling to get their shit together. All those everyday problems, quarrels, misunderstandings, etc. I know that that is the whole point of marriage and building healthy relationship -- is to overcome those obstacles and work together on it, which may be and will be hard. Still, I see little worth in all that.

I really loved the video. I agree with most of the information mentioned. I also think that presenting information in a humorous way is much better than serious and at the same time boring lectures by psychologists, as most of these lectures tend to make someone good or bad. They either play on the side of men or women. In this lecture information is presented equal, and it makes us think about the real differences which can spoil relationship and even marriage if the people do not want to hear each other and understand.
1. This man is great, he presents the subject in a funny way.
2. Yes, it is helpful. I think information is easier to absorb.
3. Yes, you can see these differences in your life.
4. Very often I get stuck all over the world and think about my projects.
What do you think about his seminars?
He is phenomenal, he gives information in a funny way that can be envied. A very charismatic character and would love to watch other films from him

Do you think that comedic approach to marriage problems is more helpful then more serious one? Why?
A difficult question, but it seems to me that the comedic approach is more helpful. I think so because if we joke about a problem
it becomes less terrible. It seems to me that I will present marriage problems in the same way as Mark Gungor helps to explain some unresolved issues

Do you agree with his statement about differences in man/woman brain?
Of course, yes, it seems to me that a woman and a man see different things differently.

What do you think about empty box mentioned in film? Did you ever go there?
Empty box :) It sometimes happens to me to look at it and sit for longer what my fiancée does not understand and begins to think black thoughts:) I showed her this movie today and I think she understood what's going on with this magical empty box

I don't know much about his seminars, but the one you presented was fun to watch and interesting. Thank you for sharing. But by the end of the video I didn't hear any solution so it's bit strange for me.

2. Do you think that comedic approach to marriage problems is more helpful then more serious one? Why?

I think comedy helps us to learn stuff that can be a personal problem for us, without stress and resistance. It's important because people on this seminars, not ideal pairs and are looking for solution of their problems.

3. Do you agree with his statement about differences in man/woman brain?

I do. Of course we cannot treat everyone the same, but as average human being I think it's our physiological difference and it's hard to overcome our congenital behavior. I think that it's not a problem and we just need to understand that differences.

4. What do you think about empty box mentioned in film? Did you ever go there?

I did. And its hard to explain that you can literally think nothing to my girlfriend ;)

Quite interesting, nice humor too

2. Do you think that comedic approach to marriage problems is more helpful then more serious one? Why?
Well one can say that a marriage is a comedy itself. Don't marry

3. Do you agree with his statement about differences in man/woman brain?
Its not only about brain differences but whole body too

4. What do you think about empty box mentioned in film? Did you ever go there?
I can only say its a like a slow down time
1. What do you think about his seminars ??
I definitely liked what you shared. It was very fun and vital. I found Mark Gungor's other seminars and I think he has a great talent for presentation and storytelling. The audience loves him. He tackles the topic so banal in an interesting way, but he discovers new things in it. I am glad that such topics are discussed so freely and with taste.

2. Do you think that the comedic approach to marriage problems is more helpful than a more serious one? Why?
I think Mark Gungor's' comedic approach to marital problems is more helpful than the serious one. This is a very popular topic. People should learn to talk about it because only by talking about it can they find a solution. Thanks to this, you can talk about such a sensitive topic in a funny way. I think that we should approach all human-related matters in such a fun way.

3. Do you agree with his statement about differences in man / woman brain?
Something is wrong :) We can see in the equality of behavior of women and men. I don't know if it depends on brain structure, but definitely the nervous system is different in men and women.

4. What do you think about empty box mentioned in film? Did you ever go there?
Yes, I heard about that. I don't know, I don't think so. I try not to run away from problems in this way.

Week 11 [03-09.06.2019] The problem with ecological cars emission in UK

The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust.   The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog.   What is smog?   Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds often come fr

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and naturally.
