Actually it is more common that you might think. Typically, it develops in women within 4-6 week after giving birth, but sometimes it take several month to appear. But the researchers from Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk, VA, found that approximately 10% of fathers also experience postpartum or parental depression. There are some common symptoms such as feeling sad and tearful, trouble connecting with their baby, anxiety and worried thoughts about their baby and feeling of guilty about not being a good mom. So after we know what is PPD, then now we are going to know what are the causes of  PPD and how to solve it. (Hor Chia Yee)

There are some causes that due to Postpartum Depression (PPD). Marital or financial problem is one of the significant reason that cause PPD. Some woman are divorce with her partner, so that there are no person who can accompany her in the hospital. They will compare themselves to others who are give birth with the  accompany of husband. Other than that, mother who are in young age will also causing postpartum depression . This is because they are not mature enough and not ready to become a mother  , they are not ready to face problems that mother will face and feel unable to take good care of their child. There are a case that a person who call Thies-Keogh who kill her son who are just 8-months old because she was suffering from PPD. It can lead to confusion, and sometimes lead to hallucination that telling mother to harm their children, while mother unable to control that.  ( Teoh Qiao Zhi )

      WELCOME TO ZIMBABWE!

The country we recommend is ZIMBABWE. As we all know that Zimbabwe is an outdated country from Africa , even nobody know that have the place that call “Zimbabwe”. By the way, Zimbabwe is the place that can let’s people take the adventure. Actuary, Zimbabwe is a beautiful place, for example Zimbabwe have beautiful river, mountain and landscape. All about of this are may not available in other country. Zimbabwe is the place that can let’s people to relax in beautiful environment. We should enjoy in the beautiful place.  (Tan Yun Chin) 

Besides that, Zimbabwe is a country full take place from framework of full presidential republic. The executive power are in charges by government and legislative power is in charges by government and parliament both parties. At the past year, Zimbabwe has been control by British and now Zimbabwe has been independent nation since year 1980.  ( Tan Yun Chin )

Furthermore, the economy of Zimbabwe become slowed down and has experienced reverse urbanization and decrease opportunities in cities in this few years. Zimbabwe faced of GDP(Gross domestic product) which is less than 1 percent. Other than that, a lot of industry are failings and cause a lot of unemployment and inequality issue. Zimbabwe faced a huge inflation from -0.2 in2004 to -2.0 in 2015. It still showed a negative inflation in 2016 and 2017. ( Teaoh Qiao Zhi )

Zimbabwe remains in lots of debt distress. the fiscal space are limit because of the under performance of revenue of country. It also increase the expenditure of country and limit the FDI(foreign direct investment)and reduce confident of the investor who are interest to invest in this country. The citizen of this country have poverty and the housing, food ,transport fees are seriously affected by the negative economy of the country. This economy issue will not let other people to attract to visit this country.  ( Teoh Qiao Zhi）

Social or culture of Zimbabwe is differentiate with few range and type.Two types of marriage are recognized under the law. Inheritance, in customary marriages, all property rights during marriage or after divorce or death belong to the man.Kin Groups.Relationships with maternal kin are important; although contact may be infrequent, the relationship is normally a close one. Therefore, the wider kin group of an extended family can be very extensive.  ( Ooi Lay Wei)

Infant Care.The nurturing and socialization of infants are the responsibility of mothers and, in their temporary absence, a female relative. In customary practice orphans are the responsibility of the husband's relatives. A great deal of an infant's time is spent in the company of the mother, being carried on her back in the kitchen and sleeping with her at night.  (Ooi Lay Wei )

Child rearing and education. An infant or child is seldom lonely, and being constantly surrounded by relatives lays the foundation for behavior in an adult life that is dependent on cooperation within the family. Children learn respect for their elders, which is considered a very important quality.  ( Ooi Lay Wei )

Higher education is valued as qualification for white-collar and professional occupations and is becoming increasingly important as an entry point to technically skilled employment. There is no social stigma for the family of a child who was expected to enter college or university but failed to do so.  ( Ooi Lay Wei)

Moreover, the tourism sector also become an important sector for Zimbabwe. There are some interesting place in Zimbabwe. For example, The Grand Medieval Palace also called as The Majestic Medieval “Stone City” palace. The Great Zimbabwe stands out as the grandest of all extraordinary ruminants of civilizations by-gone and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also the biggest man-made stone structure in Africa. The Majestic Victoria Falls also a beautiful place to visit, which is arguably the most astonishing natural wonder of the “ Seven Wonders of the World”  It has been unanimously branded “The Unchallenged Adventure Capital of Africa”. After that, the Pristine Wildlife & Nature has complete the wonderful experience of Zimbabwe. Hwange National Park is the one of the leading game reserves of the world, being home to over 1,000 species of animals and over 400 bird species. Other then that, the rich ancient and heritage of Zimbabwe is preserved in various store house especially museums. A heritage that has been preserved over centuries in over 2000 accessible rock art caves and sites can be exploded to totally absorb the meaning of being Zimbabwe.( Hor Chia Yee)

Last but not least, Zimbabwe is amazingly endowed with natural beauty and possesses a great depth and diversity of culture, history and heritage.

  Should Parents Be Blame For Their              Children’s Action?

   

Parents act as a significant role in developing their children, mentally and physically. They take care of children's biological needs and give them proper education so that they can grow up with healthy body. They need to provide them with good environment, protect them from bad influences, and have them educated in the school and as well support them when their children need them. In fact, parent sometimes does not pay attention with their children, what are they is doing and who they are playing with which result in lot of problem and issues such as bullying, online addiction, smoking and others. In the other way, children also have their own responsibility to learn something good, avoid committing in crime or getting themselves into a bad situation and become a burden for society. Due to the increase of the social issue, should parents be blamed for their children’s action? ( Teoh Qiao Zhi )

 First of all, we know that being a parent is the hardest job in the world. Parent, they play the most important roles for their children, they should take care and protect, as well as knowledge to differentiating good and bad, wrong and correct for their children. And as children they should know what they are doing and is the things they do is right or wrong. They should have their own thinking of it.  Unfortunately, home ministry claim that a total of 131,841 drug addicts have been registered in Malaysia between January 2010 and February 2016. Drug abuse among youth aged 19 and below amounted to 8,732 people. For this case, do you think parent should be blamed for their children’s action? In fact, the parents and the children also have to bear their own responsibility. Parent should implant their children to ‘say no’ for drug since they are kid which might not know what is a 'can do' or 'can't do'. For the children, they should know what the effect will cause if taking drug, they should not easy to get attract from drug and they have to listen the advice from their parent and from their school. From their age, they have their right to choose the action with do and don’t.  ( Ooi Lay Wei )

            Other than that, there are also cases on smoking among teenagers. These cases not only happened in Malaysia but also around the world. For example, a real case that happened in Nepal is that a boy name Luke started smoking since he was 12 year old because his brother asked him to have a try and now smoking become his daily ritual. In this situation should their parents be blame? In my opinion, BOTH of them have the responsibility of it. The parents should concern their children more and tell them what cigarettes bring harm to them. And as children they should know the effect of smoking and avoid it. Besides that, there is also a real case that happened in New York, 13 and 15 year old teenagers steal 2 cars. So back to the same question, should their parent be blame for their action? In fact, BOTH of them have their own responsibility on it. As parents they should spend their time to communicate with their children, told them the laws, the consequences of stealing and the action that violate the laws and for the children side they should think twice and carefully before they do the action. Is the things should be doing or not should be and they need to think about the consequences.   ( Hor Chia Yee)

         

  In conclusion, as we all know, parents are the “leader” in their house, parents have a responsibility to teach their child, but as a child also have responsibility for their own actions. As the parents, they should teach their child about the moral values. Parents also need to teach their child what is right and what is wrong. As the parents should be a good example and let your child to learn the correct thing, behind the reason is children learn from what they see, hear and do from their parents. BUT, as the children also have the responsibility for themselves, because they need to observe by themselves, do not be reckless, think before they do. As a child need to know and learn how to make friend, choose the friend that have good attitude and get more involved with them and if the friend like the disreputable attitude you need to keep away from them, Child need to get the knowledge to protect themselves, it will become more safe.   ( Tan Yun Chin )
