Decreasing the affect on the circadian rhythm. These reactions are autonomic. Its as if you are medicating yourself through your eyes. Light: Medicine of the future is a great book on this subject. And I did an article. http://www.robertlego.org/cellphones-the-medicine-you-prescribe-to-make-health-problems It appears that the more we understand our mind the less independent we seem to be. Always affected by the environment we find ourselves in. Reacting and adapting. Much more than we thought.

Some reactions to nature seem very counter productive. Like those of water. It keeps us alive but can kill us. We need to stay close to it for survival but distant enough to stay safe and alive. Water does make us have psychological effects.

Water calms us. The sound of running water, cascades, are good for us. Whether the claim of negative ions is true or not. It is true that people that live in coastal areas live longer healthier

We have many sports and activities people do for fun on and around water. Although we all understand how deadly the ocean can be, we are often around it. For survival or even leisure. Sports like surfing many that can be dangerous or even deadly.

Researchers believe that surfers pursue the dopamine dump they get when the ride a wave. Dopamine is also triggered by cocaine use. It is a complicated mix. Fight or flight and pleasure chemicals in a unique cocktail. Regardless of the reward for succeeding and living. There was still the drive and fearlessness to take the first step. A step that leads to amazing feats. Those very unique individuals that challenge our limits and push past the fear of death.

Could be possible that these are boundaries programed in our species.

Nature is very complex and non contradictory. Giving more value to antiquated beliefs over current newer

    Stedman examines the surfing subculture of Australia and acknowledges the changes that have been made in the process of post modernisation and how specifically these changes have impacted on women. The methodology Stedman employed for this case study was varied and included analysis of text and image in surfing magazines and surf books, analysis of surf films, analysis of the surfboard as an object and through her own personal experience as a surfer interacting with and observing other surfers. Stedman concludes that the process of post modernisation has not created gender equality for women. I am interested in this article as is focuses directly on women’s status in modern surfing subculture.…

    Most of color harmonies consist of combination of two or more colours within a specific relationship on the color wheel where one of them is dominant. For example in horror films if we use orange and teal, blue will be the dominant because we want to show more of the cold side and because we want it to look scary. Sometimes a red colour is shown to represent blood, while a blue represents an effect that makes the audience calm.…

    In order to try and understand a culture, it is necessary to closely analyze its history. The first reporting of surfing, the activity, to the western world was by diary entries that came behind the Pacific voyages of Captain Cook and his crews during the Resolution and Discovery. Surfing’s popularity in Hawaii dramatically decreased to where it almost disappeared as an activity because of the way it was looked down upon by western religious colonists and missionaries. In this era, most western cultures basically forbade swimming in the sea, due to its public nature and prudent citizens.…

    What´s Color Constancy?

    • 313 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Color constancy “refers to the fact that the perceived color of an object is not a simple function of the wavelengths reflected by it” (Pinel, 2014, pg. 149). Color constancy is often misunderstood, however, an easy way to think of color constancy is the distinction that the same object is the same color regardless of the lighting. For example, you know an object is red even though, it appears to be a different color under different lighting environments. It had been said that color constancy is the single most important characteristic of color vision (Pinel, 2014). Color constancy is important because it enhances our ability to distinguish different objects in a way that makes them easier to remember so we can have the appropriate response…

    While this area remains generally unchartered, one study looked into the effects of color on heart rate variability (HRV) and difference on IQ performance (Elliot, Payen, Brisswalter, Cury, Thayer, 2011). Before starting the study, each participant’s HRV was measured in order to acquire a baseline measurement. In this study, the color red was shown to significantly hinder a participant’s performance on an IQ test after being shown an instruction sheet that had a red background. The control groups of participants were given their instructions on sheets that had either blue or gray backgrounds and it was found that these colors had no significant difference on the participant’s performance. Before the participants took a second IQ exam after being given the colored instruction sheet, their HRV was tested again to see whether the color had any physical effect on their heart rate.…

Believing that when societal norms can either prompt the individual to conform or become apart of a deviant subculture to achieve the goals of society in another way. Robert Merton's aids to identify the several ways subcultures choose to adapt to society's requirements. To further explore this idea, Australian subcultures that prevailed during the past will be applied to Merton’s theory. These include the ‘Surfers’ surfers that created their own subculture surrounding the popularised sport of surfing, 5T an Australian-Vietnamese gang and the ‘Sharpies’ a youth movement.…

    This verse expands on the theme of true colour of Satpanth from the preceding verse, advising the faithful to embody and steadfastly retain the colour of Truth, just as a fabric permanently absorbs the colour of a dye. The word ra(n)g or colour in the context of this verse means ‘attachment’, ‘love’, ‘affection’, ‘passion’, ‘liking’, ‘longing’ and the term ra(n)gāvu(n) means ‘to be imbued with’, ‘to be saturated with’, ‘to be enamoured of’, ‘to be deeply attached to’, ‘to be love-struck’, ‘to be filled with love for’. Thus, the first line means ‘dye yourself with the colour of Truth’ or ‘immerse yourself with the colour of Truth’.…
