Navigating Workplace Anxiety: Strategies for Thriving in a Stressful Environment

The modern workplace can be a breeding ground for anxiety. Constant deadlines, demanding workloads, office politics, and pressure to perform can all contribute to feelings of stress and unease. For many employees, workplace anxiety has become an all-too-common challenge that can undermine productivity, job satisfaction, and overall well-being.

Online reviews are everywhere, whether you're looking for a movie to watch, a hotel to stay in or a new air fryer.

Many of us read these reviews carefully, even though we probably know that not all reviews are unbiased — or even real.

Now, researchers have found out something interesting about online reviews: women generally rate things higher than men.

The researchers looked at more than 1 billion online reviews on five different websites, including Amazon, Google and the movie site IMDb.

They found that, on average, women rate things more positively than men, and are more likely to give five-star reviews.

The research team then did two smaller studies to find out why this might be. They said women don't actually like things any more or any less than men, but they still generally leave better reviews.

In one of those smaller studies, more than 1,100 people were asked to rate art made by artificial intelligence software. They were asked to rate the art privately and then publicly.

Privately, there was not much of a difference between male and female ratings.

But when participants were asked to write public reviews, women were less likely to post lower ratings, especially when they really didn't like the art.

The researchers said women may feel more worried than men about the consequences of writing bad reviews.

They added that everyone should be able to write reviews without being worried about the consequences.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
11/4も大阪の実家に泊まっていました。

11/4の昼は、久しぶりに奈良に行きました。
ということで、今回は奈良の観光について少し話しますね！

奈良は世界遺産がとても多いので、海外から日本に来られる人にとっては、魅力的な場所のうちの一つですね。

日本の世界遺産は、2022年11月の時点で全部で25カ所あります。これはまた別の機会に紹介しますね。

今回は奈良の世界遺産について。
大きく2つあります。
1つ目です。
日本で1番初めに世界遺産登録されたのが、奈良の
法隆寺地域の仏教建造物
ほうりゅうじちいきのぶっきょうけんぞうぶつ

です。

法隆寺地域には世界最古の木造建築が数多く残っています。法隆寺は、700年代のはじめに建てられました。
これらは、日本にはじめて仏教が伝わった時のものです。

今から1300年以上前の建物たてものがまだ残っていると思うと、ちょっと信じられないですね。

2つ目は、
古都奈良の文化財
ことならのぶんかざい

です。

たくさんあって大変なので、有名な場所だけ説明しますね。
東大寺とうだいじ
春日大社かすがたいしゃ

などがあります。
全部で8コの場所があります。

710年から奈良時代、というものが始まりました。
この時は仏教が大きな力を持つようになり、政治への影響力も持つようになりました。文化もこの時期に発展したので、奈良には寺などが多い、ということですね。

奈良の世界遺産だけになりましたが、次のPodcastでは、今回僕が行った、東大寺などについて話しますね。

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！

#128 奈良に行きました！について。

In this episode for upper-intermediate and advanced English learners, my daughter and I talk about our predictions for the second part of Stranger Things 4. The first seven episodes were released at the end of May and the last two episodes come out July 1st. We recorded this episode on June 17th and try to guess what'll happen in those last two episodes. 

WARNING: This episode contains SPOILERS (we talk about what happened in the first seven episodes, so don't listen to this if you haven't already watched it).

We'd love to hear your predictions in the comments, or, if you're listening to this after the last two episodes come out you can find out if we were right or not!  (Music by Lesfm from Pixabay)
