In my opinion, this is a really interesting video about Interpersonal and some research about interpersonal skills related to an intelligence group.The third research has shown "More women was correlated with more intelligent groups". Look forward seeing everyone else's opinion about this result.

This was a really interesting read, and extremely relevant more and more as we progress in not only our lives as students but as adults joining the workforce. I've noticed that university pushes you to work in groups not only to move out of your comfort zone but to practice working cohesively in a group dynamic, the level of 'group intelligence' is vital to communication and efficiency of how we achieve our group goals (high destinction!). The lessons we take from each group activity allow us to grow our ability to work in a team in a competitive work place environment.

Excess intake of sugar will cause the brain of addiction, but occasionally eat cake innocuous. 101363649 carrie

It was interesting to read the discussion to find that adolescence who consumed more energy drinks were actually higher performing academically. However it was not surprising that they were more likely to suffer from mental illness due to symptoms such as sleep deprivation. This is it's such a growing concern.

I believe that an issue with this is that in Korea, parents have high expectations for their children. They expect them to behave in a certain way, study hard and get a certain grade, get accepted into a high profile college and university .etc. and this is what leads them to relying in caffeine found in coffee or energy drinks. Of course, this produces more stress among them, making them lose sleep and developing insomnia; staying up late in order to study more. This accumulation of stress can become so overbearing on their physical and mental health that it ultimately leads them to committing suicide.

Upon reading this article, I found the statistical figures to be alarming - especially that they were gathered from such a large sample size (68,043 adolescents aged 12-18 years). As others have highlighted in their posts, a number of complex issues come into play when analysing such findings; particularly the cultural norms and expectations within the Korean Education framework. The overall pressure that Korean (adolescents in particular) have placed upon them to achieve is enormous. When compared to Western cultural expectations, from an academic point of view, they are at opposite ends of the spectrum. So it's not surprising to find such widespread mental health issues are almost part of the 'norm' amongst Korean students. The article analyzes the correlation between energy drinks (and/or junk food) with various mental health conditions, predominantly related to stress, sleep dissatisfaction, mood, and suicidality. The statistical results on the number of youth that had actually attempted suicide were saddening, despite there being a direct correlation with energy drink consumption. Generally speaking, there is usually some kind of predisposition to such mental health problems. Although, I do not doubt the impact of energy drinks exacerbating stress levels and sleep disturbance, I think it would be worth analysing the overall mental health of Koreans. This may assist in identifying patterns of suicide and suicidal ideation amongst Korean communities.
