Why is Heterosexism favored in India?

-

The same reason why you or I won’t accept marriages between brothers and sisters. (At least in most cultures)


As society progresses, our values change. We might consider inter-sibling marriages a regular thing in a few hundred years.

If you are conditioned to believe something, you treat that as the absolute right to wrong.

We think that siblings can’t have a sexual relationship/marriage and don’t see that as a good thing because our society has taught us so from the beginning.

Similarly, LGBTQ+ rights were really not a topic of discussion during our parent’s/grandparent’s times. so they are conditioned to believe that same-sex couples are not a ‘good’ thing.

However, your thought process can change. How fast that changes totally depends on the person. Some parents have started supporting and accepting LGBTQ+ as a norm, but others might take some time.

Changing people’s thought processes, significantly if the person has grown up believing something, takes time.

Introduction To Mole Concept

Well, what exactly is a mole? Trust me, its no rocket science. It's actually an easy concept. See, like we have units of measurement of quantity like dozens, score and the like, similarly, we have moles to represent a large quantity into numbers which can be easily dealt with. To make things a little more clear, take this example:- 1. A dozen chairs (12 chairs, in other words.) 2.A mole of chairs(6.022*10^23) This number, 6.022*10^23 I mean, is the Avogadro'ss number. Basically, a mole contains 6.022*10^23 things. So instead of saying that I have 6.022*10^23 shoes, you can simply say that I have a mole of shoes. However, we do not use it on a daily basis as such a situation is absurd. So this unit is used to calculate the number of electrons, atoms, molecules and the like.....things which are in a large quantity.

Eruption to Bicycle

Eruption to Bicycles The bicycle is conceivably the simplest yet revolutionary invention to date. It serves as a reasonable mode of transport and a fun way to burn calories. However, the invention of bicycles has a very " dark " story behind it. Read along. Mt. Tambora, Indonesia, is notorious for the 1815 eruption, which led to widespread famines, slaughter and carnage. The explosion on 10th April 1815 was so severe that the eruption could be heard up to 2600 kilometres away. This also brought with it a lot of smoke of sulfur and nitrogen compounds and ash, which was dispersed in the atmosphere. This resulted in dark brown clouds occupying the sky for the better part of the year. Such was the extent of the eruption that the average global temperate dropped by 3 °C.  The year 1815/16 was dubbed as " The Year without Summer ". Europe at the time is still recovering from the devastation of the Napoleonic Wars. So things weren’t exactly great, to begin with. The year w

Language is more Important than we think

We often take language for granted. However, it is one of the most fundamental reasons why we humans (or Sapiens, to be specific) have grown to the position we are in. The ancient language was similar to that of animals' call. They comprised of a limited number of syllables and each " call " meant something different. For example, Langurs give out a characteristic call when a predator is close by so that the deer can be cautious. " Careful, Lion! " is what the monkey perhaps means by giving out a shrill tone. However, the limitation is that the amount of information that a single call could convey was limited.  This is where Sapiens had a great advantage.   A study shows that a maximum of 150 individuals on average can form a group and cooperate without internal conflicts.  Source:- The Royal Society.   However, modern-day humans form large communities, counting up to billions, and still stay and cooperate together, pretty much. Why? Language. Language helps pr
