5 Foods That Are Great For Your Skin

There’s more to keeping your skin looking clear, clean and fresh than just exfoliating often and washing your face with face wash every morning and night. In fact, what you’re eating every day could be positively or negatively affecting your complexion more than you may have realized which gives you just one more reason to make sure that you’re filling your body with healthy, nutritious foods. To ensure that you have clear, beautiful, glowing skin, make sure your diet contains plenty of:

1.      Berries – Berries are jam-packed with antioxidants, which are essential for maintaining beautiful, glowing skin. Antioxidants are also what help you maintain your skin’s youthfulness. Don’t limit yourself to just one kind of berry either – your skin can reap benefits from every type of berry, including strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and more!

2.      Water – Water is like the elixir of life for your body. It keeps your skin hydrated so that you avoid forming cracked lines that are the result of dried out skin. It also contributes to that healthy glow that so many people strive for.

3.      Almonds– Almonds are packed with healthy fats, which are exactly what you’re skin needs to stay looking its absolute best. In addition to the healthy fats, almonds also contain a hefty dose of vitamin E. Vitamin E is a great deterrent for damage caused to the skin from sitting out in the sun for too long, so in addition to lathering up your skin with sunscreen be sure to get enough vitamin E as well.

4.      Spinach – Spinach is a nutritional powerhouse, and the leafy green has proven that it’s exactly what your skin needs to stay healthy and clear. Folate, which spinach is packed with, helps repair damaged DNA and keeps it in tip-top shape so your skin stays looking fresh.

5.      Green tea – Green tea has long been touted as an effective way to help maintain a healthy weight, but its health benefits don’t stop there. The tea has also been shown to help reduce the likelihood of skin cancer and help combat any long-term effects from skin damage. Brew yourself a cup in the morning and sip on the benefits for your skin.

Caring for your skin and achieving the clear, fresh look you desire is as easy as changing the way you eat. Fat-laden foods contribute to breakouts and blemishes, while healthy, whole foods give you clear, beautiful skin. You really are what you eat, so make sure you’re eating the right things for your skin and body!

Explain the methods and techniques of Gandhian Social Work. Or Trace the origin and development of Gandhian Social Work in South Africa.

Gandhi spent 21 years in South Africa, where he developed his political views, ethics and political leadership skills. Indians in South Africa were led by wealthy Muslims, who employed Gandhi as a lawyer, and by impoverished Hindu indentured laborers with very limited rights. Gandhi considered them all to be Indians, taking a lifetime view that "Indianness" transcended religion and caste. He believed he could bridge historic differences, especially regarding religion, and he took that belief back to India where he tried to implement it. The South African experience exposed handicaps to Gandhi that he had not known about. He realised he was out of contact with the enormous complexities of religious and cultural life in India, and believed he understood India by getting to know and leading Indians in South Africa.

In South Africa, Gandhi faced the discrimination directed at all coloured people. He was thrown off a train at Pietermaritzburg after refusing to move from the first-class. He protested and was allowed on first class the next day. Travelling farther on by stagecoach, he was beaten by a driver for refusing to move to make room for a European passenger. He suffered other hardships on the journey as well, including being barred from several hotels. In another incident, the magistrate of a Durban court ordered Gandhi to remove his turban, which he refused to do.

These events were a turning point in Gandhi's life and shaped his social activism and awakened him to social injustice. After witnessing racism, prejudice and injustice against Indians in South Africa, Gandhi began to question his place in society and his people's standing in the British Empire.

Gandhi extended his original period of stay in South Africa to assist Indians in opposing a bill to deny them the right to vote. Though unable to halt the bill's passage, his campaign was successful in drawing attention to the grievances of Indians in South Africa. He helped found the Natal Indian Congress in 1894,[12][24] and through this organisation, he moulded the Indian community of South Africa into a unified political force. In January 1897, when Gandhi landed in Durban, a mob of white settlers attacked him and he escaped only through the efforts of the wife of the police superintendent. He, however, refused to press charges against any member of the mob, stating it was one of his principles not to seek redress for a personal wrong in a court of law.

In 1906, the Transvaal government promulgated a new Act compelling registration of the colony's Indian population. At a mass protest meeting held in Johannesburg on 11 September that year, Gandhi adopted his still evolving methodology of satyagraha (devotion to the truth), or non-violent protest, for the first time. He urged Indians to defy the new law and to suffer the punishments for doing so. The community adopted this plan, and during the ensuing seven-year struggle, thousands of Indians were jailed, flogged, or shot for striking, refusing to register, for burning their registration cards or engaging in other forms of non-violent resistance. The government successfully repressed the Indian protesters, but the public outcry over the harsh treatment of peaceful Indian protesters by the South African government forced South African General Jan Christiaan Smuts to negotiate a compromise with Gandhi. Gandhi's ideas took shape, and the concept of satyagraha matured during this struggle.(Contact for, Sure Success Suggestion at ignousolutions99@gmail.com)

Marxist Concept of Political-Economy Approach.

Definition of political economy (New Marxist)
Political economy was Marxist frameworks to study the effects of global capitalism (Globalization) on local cultures and the responses these cultures in the world capitalist market system. Thus Political economy is a research approach. It is often associated with Immanuel Wallenstein’s the world-systems theory in which countries or zones replaces the socio-economic classes of classical Marxist.

Marxist conception of political economy:According to Marx, legal relations and the forms of the state are routed in the material conditions of life. His conception of the state is therefore related to the productive base of the society through various stages of history. In his opinion the base or economic structure of society becomes the real foundation on which people build up essential relations. The legal and political structure is but a reflection of that base. Due political and ideological super-structures are built on the economic base of foundation. Political economy explains the relations between the base and the super-structures.  

Features of Marxist approach to political economy:It advocates that political inquiry is holistically and historically oriented rather than limited to segments and current affairs. It seeks synthesis in the search for an understanding of social problems and issues.

It advocates for the combination of the study of politics with economic, because distinction between politics and economics leads to distortion of reality and confusion. It prefers Marxist dialectical method for an integrated and dynamic analysis of politics.

It identifies the contrasting methodologies in the study of political economy as orthodox and radical.

Origin of Marxist political economy: Karl Marx developed his theories of classic economy by reformulating the theories of classical political economy and he did this while developing his own organic conception of capitalist society. He questioned the naturalistic bases of classical political economy. According to him the classical writers made errors by naturalizing the historically specific social reforms of capitalist society. In his opinion products of labour only become and commodities in historically specific and thereby transitory forms of society. On this historical and materialist basis Marx builds his theory of capitalist society which is rooted in the concepts of value, surplus value and class. Capitalist society is based on a particular social form of production, within which the production of useful goods is subordinated to the expansion of surplus value. Marx reformulation of the classical concepts of political economy gave birth to a revolution in social and political theory, but the results of the revolution are not yet fully assimilated into the mainstream of political science.
