3 Points to note to avoid a short term relationship-Women

I was listening to one of my colleagues tell me a story of how she has been heart broken not once but in all five relationships she has had. 90% of all relationship stories have a woman complaining of being hurt. Don't men hurt or are they just good at covering it up? Each and every relationship has its ups and downs but i just wanted to highlight 3 of the mistakes i think women make.

1. Assumption
Women while entering a relationship don't take much time to know a bout the men they are getting involved with. After a few days of dating the women is smitten every topic with the girlfriends is about the new man and at this point only 'good' stuff is being mentioned like where he took me, what he bought me e.t.c. I really don't think one can fall in love at such a short time or rather love at first sight but this will be a topic for another day.
2. To fit in, Fame
I believe the only reason you should see a guy for a second date is because he respects you and treats you well then love can come in later. But when a woman starts dating a man because he is hot and is the latest catch or is on the list of the most eligible bachelor then you have lost focus. If it's money come on!!!! you can make your own and spend it as you wish. Men know these things and if he know you are not in it for love then of course he wont respect you and guess who will get hurt in the end..not the man.
3. Scared of being alone
Ever wonder why some women seem to get a man immediately after one relationship ends? It's not because they are strikingly gorgeous and am not trying to put anyone down. After a relationship any normal human being needs time to heal and focus on the next best thing and i don't think a man is it.

Know yourself better, love yourself more than anyone and don't take crap from anyone. Of course if you love yourself no one will ever think of treating you any less than you deserve. 

Does Culture influence economy or does economy influence culture

Does culture have a hand in the growing or dropping of the economy or does the rise and drop of the GDP change our values and beliefs?

I was reading about how business can benefit from thinking broadly about society and I realized it left me thinking how culture and economy affect each other and that's why i asked the above question.

My position on this is that culture influences the economy. Culture is defined as a shared system of values and beliefs, having strong values and common principles not just as an individual but as a company, a leader and especially as a group improves the communication framework which in essence improves economy around you due to the common understanding and easy decision making processes.

Lets look at countries with political imbalance and high corruption rate are trying to improve the economy with much not happening and this is due to lack of values and a culture that does not permit change hence reducing investment opportunities.

A culture that people care about motivates them to work at improving it and hence anticipate good change.

Is there a backward culture

In the modern times when people are educated and urbanized many families are still caught up between traditional and modern ways of life. Do we blame it on poverty or ignorance? Many a times there are labels such as "a backward" culture and I wonder whose culture is the measuring scale?.

There are so many cultures worldwide, why do people feel the need to change and a adopt a certain culture different from theirs, take for instance the Western culture. Are some cultures better than others?

There are some so many things that make up culture which are specific to different people, for instance religion. You cannot tell a Buddhist or a Muslim to change his ways of life just because they don't conform to your christian ways.

What I know is that the only thing that all cultures share is the existence of human life, but how each culture treats it is different. In this case I do think some cultures can only be improved to respect the quality life.

Are we victims of our culture and society

For many years payment of dowry has been a common practice in the African culture. These days it is seen as buying or purchasing a woman and I wonder why?

A woman earning more than a man is still not perceived well in most communities.

The other day i was watching television and there was a discussion on a marriage bill to be implemented in my country. The bill proposes either a polygamous or monogamous marriage depending on what the couple decide before the marriage takes place.

whatever happened to this verse:
Matt 19: 5 For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall have sex with his wife; and the two shall become one flesh; 6 Consequently, they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore, God has joined together, let no man separate.

Yeah well times change!

Even women are now opting to be in a polygamous marriage rather than have their husbands cheat with someone else. It seems women would rather play using the man's rules.

What choices are women being given in all these? Is the society favoring men or are we all victims?

Does culture define you

There is an African proverb that 'He/she who has no culture is a slave' Culture is said to be a way of life for a group of people, a cultivated behavior. I am from Kenya(a country in E.Africa)and I am very proud of our African culture. I have not had the pleasure to travel outside Africa to learn more about other cultures except what i read on the net.
In today's world things seem to be changing pretty fast and all these affect our thinking and behavior in general. What was happening 5 years ago is not happening today and this changes our way of life. So tell me does culture change with time? if yes at what point would one be deemed a slave(based on the proverb).
