From the article, the intensity and duration of the pleasure decrease over time because when we get something, we want to get something else.

According to the article, everyone seeks happiness and also the maintenance of a good state of mind. This brings about new thoughts, new ideas, etc.

Therefore, the intensity and duration of the pleasure we take in new things tend to decrease over time. As humans, when we get something we want, we proceed to the next thing and want something else.

Ways how destructive relationships influence your well being as opposed to constructive relationships
g100num [7]

Answer:

A constructive relationship is a relationship full of mutual compassion and understanding of each other's needs. Constructive relationships influence our life in a positive way, as these relationships:

  • have a positive effect on our mental health
  • help reduce stress
  • enable us to grow and develop
  • fill us with energy
  • make us even more extroverted and eager to meet new people and establish new relationships

A destructive relationship, on the other hand, is a toxic kind of a relationship which has a negative effect on our life in that:

  • it disturbs our mental peace
  • it makes us depressive
  • it makes us unable to focus and cope with our daily responsibilities
  • the constant quarrels make us tired
  • we experience negative emotions such as sadness, anger, hopelessness

since the abolition of the fairness doctrine who or what controls the amount of time given to opposing viewpoints
pychu [463]
The fairness doctrine was a former US policy that required TV and radio broadcasters to present opposing viewpoints on any controversial topic that was important to the public. The abolition of this rule allowed one-sided networks to gain prominence. Now, nothing controls the amount of time given to opposing viewpoints. Networks can independently control this.
