It's often heard that love is sharp and hate is sharper, butjealousy (妒忌)is the sharpest as it's love and hate at the same time. It's an emotion which creates negativity, and feelings of fear, anxiety, and insecurity. Jealousy is an ugly green monster which preys on each one of us at different points of our lives. Jealousy is defined as a protective reaction to an imagined threat to a valued relationship, arising from a situation in which the partner's involvement in an activity or with another person is contrary to the jealous person's definition of their relationship.
Jealousy is an imperfect blend of sadness, anger, disgust, and resentment It has destroyed many perfect relationships and caused huge emotional distress to the jealous person as well as his family or friends. Extreme cases of jealousy have even been a cause for murders and suicides. Jealousy is one of the most common human emotions and is experienced by either gender.It is not culture specific and shows its presence from the age of 6 months onward.
There are several main common types of jealousy. One of them is workplace jealousy, which is a commonly observed jealousy occurring between colleagues in a workplace. It's often known to turn up when there is a lack of appreciation for the work and efforts made by an employee.Often, there is a general feeling of jealousy between colleagues with similar job profiles, when only one of them gets promoted, or gets a pay raise. This creates a feeling of disappointment and jealousy in the heart of an employee.
Another common type is platonic jealousy. This type of jealousy is often mistaken as romantic, but one must remember that there is a thin line of difference between the two. This jealousy can most commonly be seen in friendships, when one fears losing a friend to a more interesting or friendly person.
The emotional attachment with your own friend is so much that you can't imagine them with someone else. Platonic jealousy was aptly shown in the popular comic books called Archie where both Betty and Veronica try to vie Archie.
Sibling (兄弟姐妹)jealousy, commonly seen in families across the world,is also one common type of jealousy.There is a general sence of competition amongst children to be their parent's
favorite child.There is a display of jealousy on arrival of new sibling ,
on being made to share favorite toys,clothes ,or other facilities,on being showered lesser attention,and experiencing lesser love than siblings,on experiencing a negative comparison made between siblings by parents or even when a siling is smarter or more talente than another.
Jealousy isn't good thing;fortunately,it's possible to gradually deal with it.This requires initiative (主动性)and full support from the person facing the problem as well as his loved ones.The person himself should't deny the existence of such a problem .As to siblingjealousy,Parents are advised to deal with this proplem in a positive way as soon as it is detected,else sibling rivaly can have some serious effects and cause a lifelong rift and tension between siblings.When dealing with workplace jealousy,you should be professional,approach your seniors and demmand a recheck of your assessment.Nowadays, organizations are being forced to apply scientific methods of evaluation systems so as to create fairness in assessment.The methods applied have helped justify the assessment
results and reduce jealousy between colleagues.
So why get annoyed about your fate and get jealous of otheres? Love yourself and be assured about your capabilities.Give life your best shot and before your know it ,things will start falling in place.
In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism--the difference among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students don't memorize information. Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.
In most Asian societies, by contrast, people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of Asia reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another in assignments. In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules of information that they have memorized.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that there much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.
The advantage of the educational system in North American, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.

American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.
In 1991, there were no charter schools in the Unite States. Today, more than 2300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575. 000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.
A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate.
Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.
Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.
However, state education agencies, local education-governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.
Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs. Many also lack needed space, District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.
