A client sits before me, seeking help untangling his relationship problems. As a psychotherapist, I strive to be warm, nonjudgmental and encouraging. I am a bit unsettled, then, when in the midst of describing his painful experiences, he says, “I’m sorry for being so negative.”
A crucial goal of therapy is to learn to acknowledge and express a full range of emotions, and here was a client apologizing for doing just that. In my psychotherapy practice, many of my clients struggle with highly distressing emotions, such as extreme anger, or with suicidal thoughts. In recent years I have noticed an increase in the number of people who also feel guilty or ashamed about what they perceive to be negativity. Such reactions undoubtedly stem from our culture’s overriding bias toward positive thinking. Although positive emotions are worth cultivating, problems arise when people start believing they must be upbeat all the time.
In fact, anger and sadness are an important part of life, and new research shows that experiencing and accepting such emotions are vital to our mental health. Attempting to suppress thoughts can backfire and even diminish our sense of contentment. “Acknowledging the complexity of life may be an especially fruitful path to psychological well-being,” says psychologist Jonathan M. Adler of the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering.

New data released by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) shows that the five years from 2011 to 2015 were the warmest on record. The report, strongly links human activities to rising temperatures. It says that some studies found that the burning of fossil fuels had increased the probability of extreme heat by 10 times or more.
In their report on the global climate 2011-2015, the WMO says that the world’s temperature was 0.57 °C above the long term average, which they define as being between 1961 and 1990. The five year period was the warmest for all continents except Africa. Throughout these years, temperatures over most of Europe were more than one degree Celsius above the long term trend. This was also the case in the Asian part of the Russian Federation, over much of the Sahara and Arabian regions, parts of South Africa, southwest US and the interior of Brazil. The mercury even reached three degrees above the average on the Arctic coast of Russia.
“This report confirms that the average temperature in 2015 had already reached the 1 degree C mark. We just had the hottest five-year period on record, with 2015 claiming the title of hottest individual year. Even that record is likely to be beaten in 2016.”

A menudo se le dice “el presidente más pobre del mundo”, aunque José Mujica asegura que no es pobre, que lo que hace es vivir como la mayor parte de los uruguayos. Vive en la misma casa de campo desde hace décadas, con su esposa, Lucía, y su perra de tres patas, Manuela.
Su estilo de vida sencillo — pero no “austero”, una palabra que le recuerda, dice, a los recortes sociales en Europa — despertó algunos recelos entre sus compatriotas al principio, cuando creían que su país sería una vergüenza por tener un presidente que viaja en un auto viejo, calza alpargatas y maneja un tractor. Sin embargo, triunfó en el resto del mundo, donde aplaudieron su humildad. Sus discursos en Naciones Unidas o sus entrevistas con canales de todo el planeta se compartieron hasta la saciedad en redes sociales.
Mujica también parece haber conquistado a la mayor parte de los uruguayos, ya que se fue del gobierno con un 65% de aprobación, según un reciente sondeo de la firma Equipos Mori.

Most of us don’t enjoy having difficult conversations. When we have a difficult conversation with someone from a different culture, however, our task becomes harder.
Getting down to business vs. relationship building: In some countries like the U.S., people view conversations as an opportunity to exchange information. Participants expect each other to get down to business fairly quickly. However, in countries such as Mexico, conversations are first and foremost an opportunity to enhance the relationship.
Direct vs. indirect communication: In countries like Germany, it is a sign of respect and professionalism to speak clearly and leave no room for misinterpretation. By contrast, in countries like Japan, people prefer to communicate indirectly, especially when it comes to a sensitive topic.
Low vs. high context: In countries like Canada, the message of a conversation is primarily contained within the exact words that are spoken. In other countries, like South Korea, they read between the lines in the words that are spoken and pay very close attention to the emotional side of the message.
Informality vs. formality: In some countries, such as Australia, where people are generally casual and laid back, they might interpret an overtly formal setting as a sign that the situation was worse than they’d thought. Yet in other countries, like Poland, meeting in a formal office with some observance of protocol would be expected.
