The results of air quality modeling showed that the annual average concentrations of NO2 were higher than the standard of Vietnam National Technical Regulation on Ambient Air Quality (QCVN 05: 2013 40 µg/m3) and World Health Organization (WHO) (40 µg/m3). The annual average concentrations of PM2.5 were 23 µg/m3 and were also much higher than the WHO (10 µg/m3) standard by about 2.3 times.

Overall, reducing PM2.5 concentrations could have prevented approximately 3,807 deaths (95% CI: 2,845–4,730) in Vietnam in 2019, resulting in potential savings of up to $793.0 million (95% CI: 592.7–985.4).

a teen holds other people to unrealistically high standards
from external stimuli, it goes inward into the perfectionistic child, only to adjust their behavior and goes back outward to the environment again, negatively influence other around them
=> it is a perpetuating cycle of perfectionism
-
perfectionist teenager may try to avoid them by avoiding the risk of making mistakes. That can look like procrastination, paralysis, or not trying. Or their striving can consume so much emotional energy that they eventually experience burnout.
actions that come along with the feelings
-
These tendencies can produce feelings of shame, guilt, humiliation, and embarrassment.
children's behavior towards their failure
-
problematic perfectionism comes when anything short of perfection is perceived as a failure
without achieving a certain amount of perfection in one's performance, the child will feel very demotivated and disappointed as if perfection is the sole determinator for the child's self-worth and values
-
A teen with a more balanced drive for excellence can get satisfaction from putting in the effort
learning to regulate the incentive so it does not turn into something pressuring and stress-inducing is important. From here, the motivation becomes a powerful tool for one to strive for greatness + that child will feel happy and joyful during the process

masking inner struggles
use perfectionism as a defense mecahnism
-
perfectionism in teens is just as likely to create paralysis and a devastating cascade of mental and physical health effects
detrimental to teens' health / having deleterious effects on their well-being
-
It’s good for young people to have high expectations for themselves. That’s why perfectionism in children and teens is commonly assumed to be a positive
high expectation is different from perfectionism in a healthy way if it is regulated to a certain degree. If not, the two can be mistaken as correlation leads to causation

they avoid making mistakes because they interpret mistakes as indications that they have reached their maximum potential
mistakes are seen as the ultimate boundary or the borderline impossible to cross rather than a pedal to jump to higher grounds and achieve greater deeds if they are viewed correctly
-
a fixed mindset, or a belief that one is born with a specific, fixed amount of talent and intelligence.
what some parents think of their children when they show some talents or skills in their early stages of life
-
children who are unhealthily perfectionistic don’t actually do better in school than their non-perfectionistic peers
these children think that by being perfectionistic, they will always get what they want, which is to excel far more than others. However, they are either not so much different or even fall behind their peers. In the end, this makes perfectionism more serious and is demanded even more in them which aligns with the thirst for excessive competition against others.

specific physical health concerns addressed
-
an unshakable fear of failure and mistakes, unrealistically high standards, and feeling that our performance is intertwined with our sense of worth.
mental health aspects
-
Perfectionism is pervasive in our lives and our children’s, so much so that demanding perfection of ourselves feels ironically unexceptional
it spreads through one another, from parents to parents that pass down to children. Because of the widespread myth, no one feels that it is abnormal and it becomes a negative standard of living among them
-
the desire for perfectionism plays itself out
"Everything has to be perfect" is probably what their parents say most of the time and it becomes the inner dialogue that is injected into their minds
-
children and teens are chronically juggling the demands of academics, sports, friendships, social media, family, and extra-curricular activities
having to deal with so many things at such a young age that they can not get to behave and act in an age-appropriate way
-
lending themselves to exhaustion, burn-out, depression, and anxiety.
mental health problems start to appear from here. Children are not allowed enough time to rest and spend for themselves but rather, are forced to live and study in a stress-inducing environment

“his grades are suffering, which also means he is not able to play football or participatein any extracurriculars,” Darresha George said. “He was on track to graduate early, and now he is falling behind andwill have to work double time just so he can still graduate.”
because of some people's ignorant and avoidant behavior as well as cruelty and lack of sympathy for others in their communities, they caused others to suffer in many different ways. I am very surprised how they could live with themselves seeing their students like this
-
when a biracial, 7-year-old girlin Michigan had her hair cut by a school worker without her parents’ permission
real abuse and insult, unacceptable!!! severely damaging a little girl's mental health, making her scared and potentially cause PTSD
-
Bradley, whose hair is braided and currently dyed multiple colors, said she attributes a lot of her hairconfidence to her mother, Bernita Bradley, a longtime hair stylist and director of parent voice for the National ParentsUnion.
bear in mind that insulting someone is also insulting their family and relatives and no one wants to do that to get into real troubles that they cause to themselves
-
Rights Act of 1964 banned discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin
understandable that some problems are still lingering, complete abolishment can never be made on everyone's mindset about discrimination
-
“When I was in fifth grade, I had a teacher tell me that my blue hair, my pink hair, was unnatural and toodistracting for the other students in the class,
probably distracting because she did not teach her students to concentrate on the lessons and other important stuffs in schools but rather, shift their attention to uniqueness of others and guilt-trip them
-
George’s situation has drawn solidarity from young Black people around the nation, who say they have longdealt with discriminatory dress codes and comments from adults about their hair.
this has long been a widespread problems for the Black community throughout America, making me question this country's system and how it prides itself so much on equality and exclusivity
-
“teach grooming and hygiene, instilldiscipline, prevent disruption, avoid safety hazards and teach respect for authority.”
is this to assume that dreadlocks are messy, dirty, disease-infectious, lack of order, education interruption and disrespectful to others?
-
“This has everything to do with the administration being prejudiced toward Black hairstyles, toward Black culture.”
totally agree with this
-
“My son is well-groomed, and his hair is not distracting from anyone’s education,”

-
“When you are asked to conform ... and give up something for the betterment of the whole, there is apsychological benefit,” Poole said. “We need more teaching (of) sacrifice.”
I will never agree with this. Psychological benefit is all about making oneself feel validated, recognized, loved and accepted for who they are, not neglecting or abandoning themselves for others. This kind of mindset from Poole is one of the contributing factors to depression in students as well as violence
-
Greg Poole, who has been district superintendent since 2006, said the policy is legal and teaches students toconform as a sacrifice benefitting everyone
"benefiting everyone" here was just an excuse for disgust and discrimination he had deep down below. America is a land of freedom for everyone and possesing itself the individualistic culture, so there is no need for any sorts of sacrifice such as this one for the good of others
-
the act does not cover the length of his hair.
this was confusing and vague, the length of the hair had nothing to do with violation with the act, unless it actually physically harmed someone around the person, but no record or evidence was shown. This was unprecedented, the act needed to be carefully revise or a new chaos and protest would be heated up soon

including to identify tribal affiliation or marriage status, and as clues to safety and freedom for those who werecaptured and enslaved.
freedom of slavery was one of the most important things in Black history, and we never mess with their history by making inappropriate jokes or insulting their hairstyles
-
n George’s family, all the men have dreadlocks, going back generations. To them, the hairstyle has culturaland religious importance
it is generational, many of their members had dreadlocks for a long period of time and they felt unashamed to live with it. Then what's society problem? Black people value and embrace this hairstyle's cultural and religious importance
-
This is not a fad, and this is notabout getting attention. Hair is our connection to our soul, our heritage and our connection to God.”
Black communities define the dreadlocks' meaning and why they are proud to go with this hairstyle, "hair is our connection to our soul" actually touched me and made me feel more confused as well as irritated to why many people want to verbally attack Black people for having dreadlocks. It is wrong on so many different levels
-
For Black people, hairstyles are more than just a fashion statement. Hair has always played an important roleacross the Black diaspora, said Candice Matthews, national minister of politics for the New Black Panther Nation
making hairstyles a problem will make the Black community feels very insulted, belittled and disrespected. From here, it will not be a surprise if they start to cause more unnecessarily chaotic fights and hatred to those around just because they could not be allowed to have their own hairstyle which is their lifestyle, dignity, self-identity and pride

Moreover, feminism is not only about the empowerment of women, it's also about reassessing masculinity and the pressures we put on men in terms of the individuals they aspire to be.
not just empowerement of women, but also readjusting the thoughts regarding masculinity as well as stop labeling men to be toxic masculine, but encourage them to live as who they want to be

"why can’t it be called humanism if it supports men and women?" => humanism is to support all genders in this modern-day society. It should be to feel proud of being one
-
BUT FEMINISM SOUNDS LIKE FEMALE… => this is to remind of efforts in removing toxic masculinity out of men's mindset. Welcoming vulnerability, compassion and love for others are what make men even stronger and more admirable
-
Fostering a more compassionate society: Ultimately, feminism works towards creating a more compassionate and understanding society where individuals are free to be themselves, breaking free from rigid gender roles that harm both men and women. => men should be taught to empathize with those around them. Learn to open their hearts and love endlessly like women
-
Supporting LGBTQ+ rights and inclusivity: Feminism often intersects with LGBTQ+ rights and advocates for a more inclusive society that supports people of all gender identities and sexual orientations, providing a platform for men who do not adhere to traditional gender norm => i wholeheartedly support this
-
Challenging toxic masculinity: Feminism challenges toxic masculinity, which pressures men to conform to harmful stereotypes about being aggressive, dominant, unemotional, and sexually aggressive. By doing so, feminism offers men the freedom to express a wider range of emotions and behaviors without being stigmatized. => needs to be strengthened more
-
Then I have good news for you, my friends – you are a feminist. And that is a good thing. And you should be proud of that. Let me explain why men, women, boys, and girls need feminism. => proud of this part about myself

Rice University offers a workload calculator that faculty can use to estimate the workload in their courses based on the different kinds of work they assign. I recommend that instructors use this resource to evaluate the time their readings and assignments take.

instructors could consider the potential burden on students if they exceed it

An overwhelming workload is a significant cause of stress, as students may feel unable to effectively manage the demands of their coursework.
too much workload is one of the main contribution to stress and anxiety since professors give out too many assignments but close due dates

Conversely, using punitive language, such as threatening penalties for not completing certain tasks
