This is Jeff Deist, and you're listening to the Human Action Podcast. All right, hello. Okay. Thank you. All right, thank you, ladies and gentlemen. It's nice to have a live audience for the Human Action Podcast this week. We're in Auburn at the tail end of Mises University, and it's great to have a live audience in front of us. And it's also great to have a good friend of ours, Dr. Liliana Stern. She teaches just across the street at Auburn University, both macro and money and banking. She actually obtained her master's degree in economics in her native country of Ukraine in Kiev before coming to the US to study at Indiana University where she obtained her PhD, and Auburn University hired her in the faculty here. She has also done some work with the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank as a consultant, again in her native Ukraine. She has a very interesting story, and although the Human Action Podcast, normally we focus on, we're not afraid of economic theory in this podcast, which I think sets us apart. My goal is to try to be the liaison between the academics and the lay audience, and to try to help a lay audience understand some of these economic concepts and simplify them and demystify them. So we get into theory and history, we get into all kinds of things, but this week we're going to get into some real talk about economics as a profession, economics as an undergraduate major, which some of you may already be, or be considering whether a PhD in economics is worth your time and effort and youth and some other great subjects.  Thank you, thank you. And Dr. Stern has some students here from her class, so it's good to see some Auburn faces in the crowd. I'm not surprised by that. Is that extra credit? I guess, yeah, well, they're not students anymore, but I'm glad that they came, even though they can't get any extra credit from me. Well, they get psychic credit for that. Well, you know, Peter Klein and I had a conversation a few months back, and I want to open with a very broad question, I'll get your take on that. Give us your view of the state of the profession of economics, both professional and academic. I mean, there's a lot of people at the Mises student and economics is not in very good shape. Well, from my background, as Jeff told you, that I have quite unusual background because I grew up in a Soviet Union, so that's what all my students tell me, that I'm quite an unusual economics professor in a way that I have the other side of the story and I have firsthand experience growing up in socialist and communist economy, while other people who, you know, favors this type of economic system usually just write about it. So I think this kind of makes me stand apart from these people because I think it's very different when you write about something when you experience it and you have real life examples. So, and my take on the economic profession is that I think what I see is that unfortunately a lot of places becoming very one-sided and the way it's taught in American colleges it's usually just very one-sided and it's usually a Keynesian type of economics which is very pro-government. So, and I try to stay away from that so even though, you know, I use textbooks that have Keynesian economic model but always when I teach my class, I give, I start discussion with students and I, you know, I give them, like, different perspectives on things. So I try to discuss different, you know, directions and economics and have different school of economics thought would view certain issue and so on. But again, going back to Jeff's question is that I think, and it's kind of upsetting to me to see that in a lot of American colleges it's usually the way economics is taught is very one-sided. So students are not exposed to different views of the same issue and they are not, you know, they are not encouraged to discuss and express their opinion and maybe disagree with things and so on. Well, it's interesting if you talk to college professors in the sociology department in the social sciences, certainly law faculties, intersectional studies, they consider economics departments right-wing. They think that relative to other disciplines econ professors are at least center-right and do you think they're wrong? Yes, I think they are wrong. So that's not my observation. So I think that may be true for some schools but majority of schools, I mean, you know, any principles, I think majority of principles of economics, textbooks used in American colleges are just Keynesian economic model which is government everything. So, and this is obviously, you know, and very little role for markets. You mentioned textbooks. I think Peter Klein pointed out the other day that Paul Samuelsen textbook which went through several editions made him a very rich man was at one point the most assigned textbook in America and so when you say you use Keynesian textbooks, is this coming from the administration or is this generally what's available? That's generally what's available. So majority of economic textbook. But again, even though I use this as my main textbook but, you know, I make my students aware of different viewpoints and I try to discuss and I kind of emphasize this is how this type of economist uses issues but there are other views on things and, you know, and even when we discuss, even my students maybe can chime in.  So I use this as a like base framework because if they go on to take other econ classes, they need to know that because other people will use the Keynesian framework but I make them aware of other, you know, viewpoints on this issue. Well, apart from viewpoints or particular schools of thought, let's just ask this. Are theory and history even being taught much? In other words, is everything applied economics even at the undergraduate level? Is theory dead? I don't see much economic history in terms of different school of economics. Again, as I said, it's mainly just one. That's kind of being, you know, everywhere, at least at the principles level. So students are not aware in most classes that there are different schools of thought in economics. So maybe it depends on a professor like I do that but I know that most other instructors who teach principles they just, you know, this is economic theory. So students are not even aware that there are other schools of thought, you know, and that this is not the only way that government has to do this and this is an intervene and, you know, whenever we have an economic recession, government has to step in or there will be the end of the world. So this is how most people teach that. So I think that students are unfortunately given only like just a very one sided story and this is what upsetting to me because I think the main goal in teaching economics should be make young people, you know, help them to think critically and being able to analyze but if you just provide one way of thinking, I mean there is not much room left for any analysis of critical thinking. If you just, you know, you're just throwing, okay, this is what's going on and you make people believe that this is the only way and this is the absolute truth, this theory. So you don't leave much room for discussion or for critical thinking and that's not how I teach. So I teach economics, I tell my students that my main goal is to make you to help you think critically after this class. I don't expect you all to be economics professors or anything like that but I want you to be able to think and analyze things and don't take everything you hear on the news, you read about as an absolute truth. I want you to be able to analyze things and, you know, look at them differently. Well of course if you go to Auburn you might have the misfortune to take a class on economic history with our own Dr. Mark Thornton and they use a textbook in that class that was written by Bobby Abert who was at Auburn and also our own Bob Eklund who was at Auburn and it's an absolutely phenomenal textbook. If you look it up we have some copies here, it's an expensive book but it's an absolutely beautiful survey of the history of economic thought. It's almost like a reference book you can keep at your desk and so, you know, there is, that is still being taught but it's being taught sporadically and here and there. You know, when you talk about only one perspective being presented, you know, when you hear left progressives today talk about economics, there's some kind of celebratory and economists like Paul Krugman and Noah Smith who runs a Twitter feed called No Opinion, you might know that. You know, my sense is that a lot of people on the left in the West today, they don't really think economics is a legitimate discipline, in other words, they don't think there's such thing as economic laws and that economics is secondary to government and the state can just sort of literally command the economy and there really is no such thing as economic law, it's just what we pass as a policy matter. A funny story about Paul Krugman once, as I asked all the time to review principal tax for, you know, for economics classes, so they sent me Krugman's book and I wrote such a bad review that the chief editor called me and he said, wow, your review was so negative and I said, well, you guys forgot to do a background check on me. I said, you know, I grew up in Soviet Union, why are you sending me this book by, you know, every single example is about government intervention I said every single example in his book, I said, I wish just being honest, they never send me any Krugman's book for review but he was like, well, thank you for your honesty. I said, well, whoever works for you, you know, didn't do their job because they obviously should have predicted that I would not like this tax book because I grew up in that system and this guy is just, you know, treats government as God and solution to all problems and I said, I wish just being honest and this is what I do with every economic tax, you know, I do my job and I review and I give them honest review but that book is just really got under my skin so like they called me and they, so it's like, well, that was very honest but yes, so I agree, to me, especially Paul Krugman, he just thinks that I actually don't know how a person with economic education can believe in that, that government, you know, is essentially like a savior and government should be everywhere so it's just hard for me to understand how people with PhD in economics, you know, could favor government intervention to that degree so, but... So, a lot of our students here are undergraduate econ majors or considering it. Talk about, give us your thoughts on that, is it, would you recommend it as a major in general? Do you think without going any further in school that economics graduates are getting jobs? Economics, of course, I will say that, some people may say that I am biased because I'm an economics professor but again, it depends where you go to school to study economics but hopefully, you know, the places you go, you'll be lucky to have professors with different backgrounds and not just like get this one-sided story that I talked about before but in general, I just think that economics prepares you for life really well and it's a very broad major that can, you know, you can get jobs in various fields if you have an economics undergraduate degree and especially our majors, we have a very small department so we have in total like maybe 120 majors across all years so it's very small by open standards but our students, the placement has been outstanding so a lot of our students, I would say probably like 50% of our students go on to law schools so this year, we had Penn, we had Harvard, we have three students currently in Harvard Law School, we had Chicago Law School so our program definitely prepares them well for law schools and I think that component of, you know, critical thinking helps a lot when it prepares you well for law school and then also we have law and economics class that we offer and that's very valuable so again, our students are doing great and continue on as lawyers and a lot of them, we had a couple of students who went on to and got a joint PhD in economics and a law degree so I think Vanderbilt and what is Georgetown or I don't know which school in DC has this joint program and one school in Florida so I know three schools in the United States that offer that and several of our students went on to those and actually in seven years you got a double PhD so you become a lawyer and you also have PhD in econ and this is probably a great option for those who want to do corporate law also our students, but our students not just going to law schools but they're getting jobs in corporate world so we have one of my former students work at Ford Motor Company the research department a lot of students work in commercial banks so I have former students he's like Vice President of Regions Banks just different, different fields and I think, you know, because economics is such a general field and just you know, teaches you how to think and analyze things so it prepares you for a lot of, you know potential careers that you may want to choose later in your life so definitely I would, you know if you're interested in economics I would encourage you to pursue you know, degree in economics and because it prepares you well and you can get jobs in different fields and I tell our students that it essentially replaces all business school degrees because a lot of students come and they have this kind of wrong perception of economics and I don't know, I didn't obviously go to high school in this country but that's what people tell me that the way economics is taught in this country in high schools, public high schools it just gives students very wrong perception of the field of economics because it's usually taught by a teacher or a coach something and essentially what they teach them again, this is just taking words from my American husband, I didn't go to high school here, but what they teach them is like, you know your checkbook balancing something like that, so they think that's what economics is about when they come from high school and they think or they think that, you know it's just a very dry science and it's going to be this an old overweight man teaching some dried up science but this is not at all what economics is about and should be about and I tell a lot of students so when they come usually if they take my macro class I get a lot of kids interested in the field of economics and they come talk to me and I ask them what's your major right now, they tell me it's business finance or accounting we get a lot of engineers and they usually have no idea what they can do with economics degree later in life or they will get the many jobs so I have to you know tell them what options available and I tell them, especially with business degree, I tell them that economics essentially replaces all business degrees and I said if you look at the job advertisement it will be like, you know, requirements for some job, it will say finance degree or economics, it will be management or economics, marketing degree or economics, accounting degree so it's just a very broad degree that you know encompasses a lot of different fields because I think of this critical thinking that I'm trying to teach my students and hopefully other professors. So do you think the economics department belongs in business schools at universities or do you think it belongs in the College of Liberal Arts? Well statistically it's a 50-50 split I think about that in the United States and some of you probably know our department has been in business school for many years and then due to some political fights which I don't know much about we were moved to liberal arts I feel like we kind of fit in better with liberal arts folks but again you know if you're looking at statistics around the United States it's a 50-50 but personally I think that it belongs you know with liberal arts because it's a social science, it's about human behavior so that's my personal opinion that we just fit in better with liberal arts College of Liberal Arts. Well let's talk about people who are thinking about perhaps getting a PhD in economics. Now I can speak anecdotally because at the Mises Institute obviously we know a lot of PhDs we know a lot of university professors, we know a lot of students so anecdotally I think econ PhDs like undergraduate are a relative bright spot in terms of employment prospects but maybe we can start by just I'm not sure people really and truly understand how mathy things have become in other words a lot of what you do in your coursework to get a PhD in economics is high level math. Very high and math and you know when I first came to Indiana so most graduate programs start with a math boot camp so before you start taking classes in end of August they tell you to arrive two weeks earlier and you have to do the math boot camp. Doesn't that sound like fun guys in August a little math boot camp? And I remember when I arrived in Indiana in 2000 it was like August 8th of 2000 so a long time ago almost 20 years ago and I started the boot camp so they gave me the math books I thought that maybe I'm in the wrong classroom somehow you know I wandered around into like a math PhD hallway or something but yeah so it's very very mathematical a lot of math and a lot of statistic and unfortunately and this is I was lucky enough to have professors that recognize that and they also told that I remember my professor who became my advisor later on he said that you have to see economics behind every equation writing down a crazy equation it's not enough like you have to tell me what does it mean and this is and that's what I teach my students okay you've wrote down this equation but what does it mean what implications what policy implications or what so and this is unfortunately I think kind of becoming a problem with economics because it's becoming so technical that people forget about economics I don't know this is how you feel about it but this is how I feel that it uses high-end math but sometimes people just you know they don't go beyond the math the mathematical equations they don't try to understand the economics behind all of that and this is what I try to avoid when I teach especially my intermediate class you know if you write down some model I always ask my students how Jason can confirm what does this mean like you got this result now tell me what does this mean so I don't want them just to see these numbers I want them able to you know be able to understand the economics behind these numbers but unfortunately that's not how everybody is teaching and especially at the level like PhD sometimes we see that just they just ask you okay prove that this equals to that but where is the economics so a lot of you know a lot of people forget about economics behind that they just so involved into this high-end mathematical equation or statistical equations but I guess that one point here is realistically if you're going to consider a PhD from an American program you're probably going to have to be to have your chops in math I mean that's would you agree you just you're just going to have to have that aptitude so it's something to think about so we have our our department actually have two undergraduate tracks and one of them is called quantitative econ so it's preparing students for graduate career and those students have to take high-level math classes like real analysis and other classes from the math department because we want them to succeed if they decide you know to get master's degree or PhD we don't want them to feel like lost and not be able to do that math but yeah that's correct like if you you know if you're not too good with math like you can it's just you cannot do well in the PhD program it's already you know high-level mathematics and statistical analysis as well what's interesting that Dr. Stern mentions saying to her students okay you've got this equation what does it mean because in a sense we've come full circle because writers like Mises were derided as so-called literary economists because if you look at Mises there's no charts and graphs and equations in any of his work and then you know fast forward to the well you know the latter half of the 20th century we had economics reaching the point where a lot of people literally thought any economic proposition ought to be able to be expressed as an equation almost almost a pure mathematical model and now we find you know now we discover that sometimes getting the math right doesn't give you the understanding behind it well it's just how I am doing that and I said like a few professors doing but a lot of people especially like young generation economists they they just mathematicians in my opinion you know they write down the models they don't really understand I had friends like that they were just so technical and if you ask them like what are the implications of this result what you know what will happen can you predict what will happen with the economy they don't know I was like I don't know this is I proved that this equal to that but they don't understand and and again and I think the whole field is becoming more and more technical and this is kind of I think that maybe I don't want to say dangerous but I just I just hope that it's not it's not the new trend that the economists are so involved in this you know high level math and statistics that they forgot about that they forget about economics and to be fair all that math didn't help us much in 2008 nothing could predict anything yeah so I want to ask you this you know a criticism that a lot of us have of the profession is that academic publishing seems to be a racket in other words advancement in that field just like almost all academic fields is oftentimes based on publishing so people write obscure articles and obscure journals and this is the path to advancement in their career rather than being dedicated to teaching so give us your thoughts on publishing yeah I think I agree with that point and I think that the kind of teaching had been the emphasize at a lot of places and again this is very upsetting to me because I'm very dedicated teacher hopefully my students like this but I spend a lot of time and effort preparing for my classes and even at my department especially the newest hire that we have they completely devalue teaching and the emphasize they think that their job is just to sit and you know just write their papers and they don't think teaching is important like to me being a professor teaching is the most important part like if you want to advance a field of economics and this should be the most important part but not I mean research should be important as well but what I see at a lot of places that you know teaching is being completely devalued and people just you know teach the same stuff for 20 years like they spend five minutes preparing for their classes you know use lecture notes you know when things change and evolve every day they are talking about some models or some stuff that was going on 10 years but this is all obsolete you can't talk you can't use this textbook that was relevant 20 years ago today because things are changing every day and I've been teaching principles of macro class and I joined the economics department in 2006 but every semester I changed my lecture notes and every class before I go teach I updated with the newest data available I think this is you have to make it relevant because what's the point of teaching economics if I talk about what was going on in the 70s and 80s but I cannot give my students and discuss you know a recession of 1970s and not discuss what's going on today but a lot of people because they think teaching is not important they just I think don't put enough effort and don't emphasize teaching that much so they think like I should spend 80% of my time doing my own research rather than you know preparing lecture notes and updating all the data well let's not forget a lot of these people are paid by taxpayers to do this and this isn't just economics this is all academia I think a lot of us in this room we get the perception that for academic students are almost a nuisance even the university that funds them is almost a nuisance they exist to be this brilliant academic who's just supported financially however but I mean honestly I think that's reached the endless proportions in the U.S. the bad teaching I find my students very often very surprised that I have an open door policy and I'm always there to help them give advice and sometimes just not even related to my class but about their future career and they all tell me you're so nice and so helpful I said that's my job you guys are paying me for that but then I figure that not all people like that they like you said they find students irritating and like you're disrupting their day if you come by to ask a question or ask for help with the homework and this is what I also find upsetting and I don't understand why is it this way and when things changed like was it recently or was it 20 years ago that or is it some diversity's policies that kind of the emphasize teaching and put more stress on research I don't know where it all happened but this is not how I view my job so I think my main goal is to teach classes and that's why I put a lot of effort into preparing for my classes well it sounds like a system that's right for disruption I'm sure a lot of people in this room have read Brian Kaplan's book on the subject but I want to touch on a related topic which is tenure I think a lot of us understand conceptually the idea of tenure is a good one in other words people in academic posts should be able to pursue research or truth or writing and write whatever they believe to be true without fear of losing their income as a result of it but the flip side of that is you get arrogance and laziness so tenure I don't know how many of you guys are aware of the tenure system and what that means so tenure essentially means you know lifetime employment so once you usually most schools they give you 7 years and you have certain requirements depends on department and university so you get a certain number of papers you have to publish they look at your teaching I get teaching evaluations and then you either pass or you fail and then you get if you get your tenure it means lifetime employment and this is what you usually have that you know people get lazy and they don't change their lecture notes for 30 years and today they will be talking about what was going on in the 80s without discussing current economic policy and what's going on in the world so it has so this is a big flip side of that that people are just not motivated unless they are like personally motivated like for me of course I'm getting paycheck from Auburn University for teaching my classes but I really enjoy teaching though this brings me joy to work with young people and you know be asked questions and then have discussions with young people and listen to different opinions I really enjoy that so I am a tenured professor but I still you know I believe I still put the same effort into teaching my classes as I did before I had tenure but not all people like that have the big negative side of tenure in academic profession so talk about your students themselves do you feel that they come out of high school prepared to do undergraduate economics as I mentioned before most students come with a very wrong perception of what economics is as a field because it's taught by a baseball coach or football coach and they were just do you think that is the case that economics is sort of shunted off to the side in high school and it's just it's not given very serious I mean that's my perception that again I don't know it's just I don't have a first-hand experience but that's what I hear more and more because I was like trying to get down to the you know where does this problem why do they think economics is this way it's completely wrong and then I think just the way it's taught at high schools so they come to my class most of them just very discouraged and unmotivated so they expect you know economics class to be very boring and something for most of them like all business majors had to take my principles of macro class so they just think okay I'll sign up for this huge lecture you know lecture hall class which mine is and just disappear in the crowd you know I'll I'll sit through class and shop on internet or play video games and get my C or my B and be done with it and it's just you know it's so boring and a lot of people think that it's hard they probably heard that we use math in economics and math is usually the scary word or graphs even scarier so a lot of students intimidated by that so I get these two but usually the perception of economics is very negative that's my experience so when I come to my class and when I start lecturing in that big class and louder here which is usually have 260 290 students they're usually very surprised when I start walking between the aisles and ask questions and they're like what does she want she's just supposed to read of power points and we all sleep and go home but then they kind of get interested I think and start participating so I usually have the front those people more motivated and they start asking questions but then even in the middle of the room some people perk up and like oh this is something cool she's talking about or she's asking for our opinion but at the beginning the perception is very negative I think of economics as a field but by the end of the semester I have I would like to think that I have a lot of people that I change their perception of economics and they get a lot more interested and I see a lot of students from that principle class taking my intermediate class because they want to know more and I always have at least a handful of students switching major to economics after they take my principles of macro class because they're like oh that's actually something very cool it can be very useful if you understand it it's something that we can apply to everyday life in teachers that have to make decisions and so on so your principles class is more than 200 students yes that's that's pretty challenging that's pretty daunting I would say for both the students usually 260 between 260 and 290 wow that's a huge class and so how does that work I mean you're going to have a you're going to have a range of interest in that class you're going to have a range of aptitude a range of effort do you view it as you you reach who you can reach in the class yes I usually just you know the the front half of the room are the one who range probably from quite interested to a little bit interested somewhat interested and the back of the room I just ignore them but I see people moving to the front from the back of the room you know so it's like okay I've done my job I see that person is trying to move closer you know and they start asking me questions but in a big class like that you said you know you have a whole range of of interest and like some people it doesn't matter what I do what I talk about they're just not interested you know they're not interested in anything they're probably just you know interested in the next party they're going to but that changes as they mature and I had some students that would take my principle class and like barely got a C and then I see them in my intermediate class I had one kid like that he was a strong B and then he take advanced macro class he was an A and then he wanted to get master's degree and he was the best student so I just was very happy to see him mature and so he went from like no interest whatsoever you know just got a passing grade to becoming this outstanding outstanding student and this is this is like what makes me very happy if I see this kid who just they're because you know their academic advisor told them that's a required class so they have to be there but then I see them like genuinely being interested in a subject that that's when I feel you know I feel like I've done my job they're not just doing this for a grade or for their degree but they want to know more they're curious about the field that they want to learn how do you think we might go about getting more Austrian content into curriculum curricula how we might go about getting more Austrian or Austrian friendly profs into academia because it seems like it honestly it seems like we do better with lay audiences and getting people to read Mises or Hayek or Rothbard are on their own which is something we've all done outside of the you know the assigned coursework but how do we you know you say there's basically a Keynesian perspective taught how should we go about ameliorating this I think probably one way would be if someone writes a book which you know principle that includes like this different school you know of economic thoughts including Austrian so it's not all just Keynesian and then just write your own textbook yeah and then like you know let people adopt it and I think it would be it would be quite popular it should be again not very challenging and very intuitive so you always have to think about the level of your audience right so you can have something like very complicated but just a basic economic textbook that just has these different perspectives not just Keynesian including Austrian you know so that students could learn about you know this is Keynesian economics is not the only the only type of economics this is what they call economics usually means Keynesian you can have a whole other show about the publishing textbook publishing racket so we have time for one last question I want to ask about the S word socialism which seems to be looming in our country in some senses generally speaking Auburn kids are considered maybe slightly more conservative than kids at some universities but give us your thoughts on this are young people and your students in particular are they gullible about socialism do they understand it what are their thoughts yeah probably compared to other schools like I don't know Duke or Harvard or Berkeley Auburn students a little bit more conservative but I still see a lot of students in my class that are very pro socialism and usually those students are very brainwashed so they don't really understand what socialism is so because when I ask you know when I kind of initiate discussion and when I see hear their arguments like why do they favor socialism they don't know much and I was like you cannot be in favor of something if you don't even know what that is so this is what I find but I actually had a lot of students that you know very very pro socialism in my class and I was happy to see that by the end of the semester in my intermediate class a lot of them changed their minds or at least they are not so like stuck on the idea so it's just like this ideology and they don't they don't understand what it is but they think that it's better than market economy and I was like no you cannot favor something without knowing what it is or providing argument why this is better than market economy or any other kind of economy so at least and I've been able to convince at least a handful students that socialism is not such a such a great idea maybe providing my personal examples you know growing up in Soviet Union and just initiating discussions in my class but in most cases what I find the student they just it's kind of I don't know it's like they have religion they don't understand what it is and usually they are very aggressive and they don't really want and they are very defensive or they don't even want to discuss it they'll just say it's better and when I ask them why is it better can you tell me why is it better they can't say anything so they usually start attacking me on something else you know like I was talking about and I was just discussing something in my intermediate class about normal good and inferior good and I was just giving example just random example about inferior good that you know change from being inferior to normal so inferior good is something that you can see more when your income when your income goes down so for example used car is an inferior good so I was talking about breastfeeding and I said that's a very interesting research and I said I'm a mother I have three children so I gave them and I guess they were already young so they can relate to that but some girl immediately started attacking me and I said so what I was telling them about is that breastfeeding became a normal good it used to be inferior in the 70s so young so poor women used to breastfeed children because formula was expensive now it's all changed mothers who have advanced graduate degrees PhDs and masters 90% of mothers breastfeed their children while poor people use formulas so I was just discussing why do you think this good flipped she was attacking she was gonna scratch my eyes out and she said because poor mothers unlike you they did not have a luxury of their own office like pumping your milk and breastfeeding your child they have to work three jobs you know minimum wage jobs and she was not even that's not when I wanted to discuss she was just immediately attacking me so that's what I find and with some other discussions that we had is you know they just very angry it's almost kind of like a religion for them and they believe it I believe in God right and that is like I believe in socialism but why you ask them why you ask for more questions they can't provide any arguments they start usually attacking you and but anyway so that the girl she was a poly science major she just graduated with degree in economics and she told me she told me that my class changed her and then she decided to draw her poly science major and she became she actually graduated with and I think she's going to law school somewhere but when I met her in my class she was just very angry she was just anything I said she would just attack me because she kind of feel that my viewpoint were different than hers you know and when I introduced myself I tell them well I grew up in Soviet Union so given my background I am more pro-market than pro-government you guys can get that I don't belong to any political party or anything like that and I think from that moment she was just she did not like me at all and she was just very aggressive but that changed throughout the semester so anyway and she graduated with degree in economics and she's like well thank you so much for putting up with me and starting the discussions so I find a lot of people like that you know they just they defend it and they don't know what that really is because it's almost like a religion for them well we have to end on that note that's peak america 2019 woke 20 year olds explaining socialism to

Welcome back, Psych2Goers! Every now and then, you feel like your relationship is not going as well as you'd hoped. Does it sometimes feel like they're not even trying, or like you're the one doing all the work? This can be quite confusing, and you may even wonder if it's really happening, or if it's just your mind creating scenarios. So, to help you be more aware of your relationships, here are six signs your relationship is one-sided. Number one, you're the one who does all the planning. Are you always the one who initiates conversations and plans activities? It's okay for your partner not to be creative and to prefer to simply hang out at home, but if they know how much you like doing things together outside, and they still never bother to suggest anything, then maybe it means that they don't find it so important. This can be pretty frustrating, especially if you're trying hard to keep the relationship going, but it may also mean that your relationship has become one-sided. Number two, they find time for others, but not for you. Does it seem like they never have time for you? Perhaps you ask them out for lunch, but they're already busy with a colleague, or you invite them over to your place, but they're already hanging out with their friends. Sometimes, people are just genuinely busy and can't be available all the time. And in every healthy relationship, both sides should have time to hang out with other people, especially family and friends. However, it doesn't mean that they should ignore their other half. If your partner has enough time to hang out with everyone else but you, then it's a clear sign that something's not quite right. According to statistics, only a small percentage of you who watch our videos are actually subscribed. So if you haven't, and at the end of the video you enjoy what you see, do consider subscribing. It would help a lot with YouTube's algorithm in promoting more of our mental health content. Thanks for being here. Number three, you're missing the emotional support. Are they there for you when you need them the most? Your significant other should ideally be your best friend, a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand.  So if they're never there for you, especially when things are getting tough and hard to deal with, then it may be time to rethink your relationship with them. Number four, your comments are met with annoyance. When you're dating someone, naturally, sometimes you're going to have some complaints. Whether it's simple things like, I don't like it when you're late to our dates, or something more intimate like, I wish we would snuggle more. It's a healthy thing to voice your opinions to try and better your relationship. However, if everything you say annoys them or makes them feel like you're too much, then it may be their way of running away from their responsibilities and to avoid putting in any effort into the relationship. Number five, you make excuses for their behavior.  This is called a fantasy bond. It's an illusion of love and comfort, which you may develop as a coping mechanism to protect you from the fear and anxiety of your relationship falling apart. Even when you feel these words are true, if something is really wrong, deep down you know that what you're actually doing is making excuses. And you shouldn't have to make excuses to feel cared for in a relationship. And number six, they say they'll try harder, but they never do. It happens a lot in relationships where one partner just won't bother to put in the effort. They just keep making promises and forget to keep them. The truth is you can't change anyone or expect them to change for you. But growing as a person with someone by your side is one of the things relationships are for. If someone is bothering you and you let them know and they say they'll fix it but they don't, it's safe to say that you should keep your expectations low. So do you feel like you're in a one-sided relationship? Let us know in the comments below. If you found this video helpful, be sure to like, subscribe, and share this video with those who might-


Hey guys, it's Monica. I thought I would just share with you and this is by no means a Foundation test or anything of that nature because I am not like a you know, anyone that really does that well anyways, but I Have many of you know I really like the CYO and you've all heard the story that it has been discontinued and you can only buy it probably up until January February 2020 well, I don't want to stock up on a lot of foundations Because you know the expiration dates and all that stuff But I do have a number of the CYO that I bought because it's really hard to color match And I found in the CYO. It was the 107 sometimes mixed with the 104 that seemed to be the best mix for me So I bought that I really like that. It's very buildable last all day and then boom They just continue it so a number of you have said check out the soap and glory kick-ass foundation And I did so I have three bottles of this I have in the shade four and in the shade five two in the shade five actually five seems to be a really good shade for me Right now, but this just so you know the CYO is what 499 599 This not on sale is 1699.

He actually sent me something else too Which I'm going to review on a little bit But he sent me also this little tiny braid and I wrapped around my bun today, and I think that looks so cute Gray's and all This is what they what they sent me started in my hair, but this is basically what it looks like And this is in the color almond frost This is like really nice Amazing. Wow. Thank you. I love it You know what it just added a little bit of a definition to when I put my hair in a bun and I wrapped it around They also sent me this which I've worn in some of my insta stories Take a look at this. This is the amber human hair in the color almond frost Now I was planning on going to my hairdressers this week But I think I might have said in one of the previous clips that she got hurt. I was going to have her cut layers So until I actually go back And have her cut layers into this. I don't want to cut it anymore. I have trimmed it A little bit because it was way long, but look at this This is silk It has got the clips for really secure. So this is the amber silk human hair topper Rooted in the color almond frost with bangs When I wore it, nobody could even tell I had it on. I mean nobody could tell So guys what I want to do before I end this video is kind of share with you how my day went yesterday yesterday was the baby shower and What I had put on my skin knowing that I was going to be outside all day. I knew that it was a beautiful sunny day I think the temperatures were in the mid 70s high 70s Beautiful breeze and we were out by the ocean. So there was an ocean breeze. It was a beautiful cool Or summer day not a fall day because it was just it was just a perfect day. So the sun was out and We were outside at the baby shower all day. I picked up my mom I went and picked up the cake and then we got to the shower right around one o'clock and we did not leave till about 5 30 so from that whole time afternoon sun I was outside So what I did if you know me, you know, I'm all about sunblock I mean why spend all that money all that effort put all that effort into skin care into retina into using cvd oil or Rosypseed oil or any other oil you use or skin treatment you use on your face Why go through all of that if you're not going to do and use the number one proven anti aging skin Protecting product with your sunblock. I don't care what you use the sunblock, but it's sunblock And broad spectrum uva uvb when you when you go to uva uva the a stands for aging for me And I go anti aging the uva blocks those deep penetrating rays into your skin that causes the Premature aging the wrinkles or whatever the uvb blocks barn Which is both of these are super important. Absolutely super important But uva is really what because i'm going to protect myself You know, I'm not going to be I'm going to be in the shade as much as I can I'm going to wear a hat whatever I can do But so the uva is really super important. So yesterday knowing I was going to be outside I Put on in the morning like my normal routine after my skincare. I put on my australian gold. This is the mineral This is the broad spectrum. It's got a lot of good uva protection in here as well as uvb 50 spf I put it all over my face. I have to be really careful Because it's drying so I have to make sure that I've got my oil on I moisturize my skin Otherwise, I'm going to have an issue. So I put it on I let it dry. I had to leave the house I had to go pick up my mom Picked her up at 11 30 ish quarter of 12. So I left the house I finished all my makeup around 10 30 what I put on my skin and this was actually sent to me via the octaline network from the company called swasso Swasso and this is a affecting cushion this has 50 spf in it and It the color that I have is medium pink When I ordered this on the octaline network, most of the color choices were out So I took a gamble on medium pink. I also knew that I had medium pink and the a more pacific Cushion same thing 50 spf it comes in a part or a compact like this And I really like this they use this a lot. So I knew I had medium pink in that So I thought maybe medium pink would be a pretty good starting point for me for this What I didn't know at the time when they sent this was that this is actually Distributed in the u.s. By a more pacific as well. So interesting But anyways the company swasco the ingredients in this are absolutely lovely I will link all the information when I receive this via the octaline network And if you guys know how octaline works you have to do a review So when I receive this I Opened it up and it came it came in this beautiful little mirror. The presentation is really pretty. What a pretty compact I actually have gotten compliments on this compact when I've taken it out just to check my lipstick I've gotten I've had compliments on it. So I thought nice But anyways, this came completely airtight sealed. So when you opened it up There was a protective covering over here when you tore it There was a little destruction saying when you remove that make sure that you seal this Completely tight after each use to prevent the air from getting into it. So you can see hopefully The color it's actually a nice color and I'm gonna put this on You can see this Probably can't I don't think you're gonna pick that up at all when I put this on it says that it is long Lasting and full coverage, etc. I I did know it did not cover for example my veins. So I still have to use my Concealer on that which is my benefit industrial concealer that I use So I still have to use that I still have to use a little bit of a color correcting But I put this on and I covered my whole face now.  I didn't never had any breakup. I didn't have any creases My wrinkles didn't look any worse than they were when I put it on which is always a good thing Because sometimes especially if you go up closer to your eyes your eye wrinkles look so much worse None of that happened. So it was actually Pretty happy with how this worked on me. It lasted all day. I came home after I dropped my mom off last night I came home. I looked in the mirror. I was actually surprised. I was going to film last night, but I was so Tired and it was so dark and I was like nah, so But it lasted all day long I really like this now it does come with a replacement pod So I think the retail for this is 60 dollars And so you get the cushion the compact with one cushion foundation in it and then you get a refill pod to slip in And I like that idea. So this has been super easy to use during the work week Touch-ups on the go and the foundation the look on my skin is really not been bad I have it on today even though I haven't gone out anywhere Maybe it's a tad bit light. I don't know But um, I'm not really not going to really do a whole bunch of different things today So but I just wanted to let you know About this because I'm actually liking this a lot and I will say it passed my test for sunblock Now I wear a lot of different types of foundations I've been trying the cyo and I talked about that earlier I talked about the kick-ass My ysl my st. Lauder one of the things that I bought when I went to one of the outlet malls So I think it was the the bimber in real store is I went in and I got the st Lauder and this is in the color pebble Which is my color and I because I really like the convenience of something like this and being able to open it up Dab on some foundation with this sunblock do a touch-up without having to shake a jar or Or a bottle or anything like that. I just love this convenience So I love my st. Lauder and I have the bottle and I said this is going to be really nice So I bought this and I bought the stick Holy cow So let me just because I'm talking about the compactors want to say now grant it. It isn't as pretty As this it doesn't have the 50 spf. It's not going to be sun protection But it is good. It's beautiful for touching up my skin on the day. I've got the compact I've got the same concept here except this is a Not a cushion, you know, this is a creamy foundation here So you put this on and you just you have the creamy foundation And I I'm telling you guys I don't know if I should do this Oh You can see it's a little bit lighter, right? But I'm telling you guys I really really I love the convenience Love the convenience of having something like this and I'm so happy I tried the st. Lauder because I absolutely love my st. Lauder double wear And then to find the same shade in this pretty serum compact of the st. Lauder. I like it. So Perfect now if only They could add the sunblock and 50 spf in here would not be the nuts. I would love it But in the interim winter's coming I can get away with just this in the morning or even a 20 or a 30 spf winter and fall But in summer now I need the help of something like this But I just want to tell you how much I am loving and loving and enjoying this Serum compact on the st. Lauder and also the stick the stick is nuts the nuts. I love it I should probably do a review on that. That's it for me guys. Thank you so much for watching Hope you enjoyed the photos that I included of the shower It was just an absolutely beautiful day like I said and it was gorgeous in my my future daughter-in-law the mom of the baby She's absolutely glowing the baby is due in october I can't wait to meet the little fella. I'm just like beyond excited over it. Jay's coming home Monday night and he He's he's at that in atlanta at that golf tournament You know where all the people got hit by a lightning or whatever On the course, but he's he's there today So I don't think they're having any stormy weather, but he's had a great time with his son and his son's family his His his fiancee and her family So it was a really nice family event for them and they just really really enjoyed it He'll be home late tomorrow night. I'm going to pick him up And he did tell me he fell on the golf course So his pride was a little hearty tripped over something and went down Splat And he said his pride hurt, but he also was bleeding and a little bit bruised and I'm like, oh Not good if he's bleeding. But anyways guys, thank you all so much for being with me. I appreciate every single one of you. Bye


I'm Jessica and I started teaching English in India so this was my first experience teaching and then I came to Ireland to complete my M-Phil and now that I've been teaching for about a year in Ireland I'm starting to see a lot of parallels between the classroom in India and the classroom in Ireland and how we can approach negotiation within the classroom. So first a bit of background the school that I worked in in India was an NGO for girls who were underprivileged and it was a Hindi medium school but they did receive three classes of English every week however most of the teachers were between an A1 A2 maximum B1 teaching English to the students. So after securing some funding we decided to start a teacher training and a language class. So first we had language classes for the teachers so those who were not at a B1 level we gave them the typical you know grammar, writing, reading, listening just to boost their level so they had a better understanding of English. Those who were a B1 level or higher this is our whole group language class and teacher training were placed in a teacher training program and the aim of that was to continue provide continuing professional development and also to introduce theory application and classroom techniques as most of them were not officially trained as teachers. Okay through this portion of the program we introduced reflective journals, needs analysis, communicative style learning and teaching and also addressing specific concerns that the teachers had especially because they were in such unique teaching position. So as interest grew even the cleaners at the school were asking for English classes. So this is our group of cleaners taking English class and they were our false beginners. They are exposed to English in their everyday life on the streets but they're not able to produce English or really understand and additionally they usually have limited education in their own language and often have literacy problems in their own language as well. So focusing on the teacher training classes we negotiated which means the teacher would facilitate and provide a framework instead of pre-selecting the content and we would plan to deliberately involve the teachers in deciding the syllabus in the curriculum, the topics, the activities and the assessment. With our goal of providing the teachers with a useful program and no set curriculum, a variety of learners in the tracks in the program and also a lack of resources we felt that a negotiated curriculum was the only way to proceed. Without a negotiated curriculum we felt that we would be imposing our preconceived ideas without a true understanding of their teaching context and the everyday realities that they faced. So we were shown time and time again that it was more than just a class and the teaching methods negotiation was needed. So as you can see children were often brought to the class because they had to. There was no option. This also happened with the students. They were often bringing younger siblings to the class so you could have a two-year-old with your 12-year-olds and teachers also expressed concern of situations students were facing at home or societal problems and teachers themselves may face issues at home, restrictions on the curriculum for the government, not taking into consideration the needs of the school and also again societal problems. So we aimed to address these issues and to have the learners really analyze and come up with their own solutions for addressing these issues within their classroom. As outsiders we weren't prepared to say you need to do this, you should do this, this is how you solve this issue because we had no experience with these issues. So to focus on some of the successes of the negotiation, first how we use it was through our learning journals and by asking the teachers what they find challenging in their classroom and the answers to these questions were explored and composed the content of the course. So as new questions came up our class would take a different direction and it was frequently revisited every week it seems that there was a change in our syllabus. So then we structured the classes around these questions by giving background information introducing personal reflection journals and working on tasks. What they wrote in the journals and the idea for the tasks were completely up to them. We also had weekly meetings with the teachers and the principals to talk about how everyone was feeling about the program, what the successes were, what the challenges were and which direction we would take. And then also to provide a sustainable program we started implementing the teachers in the training program were teaching the other teachers who were in the language program. So that way there was no need for anyone from the outside to actually run the program. It was self-sustainable within the school coming from the teachers themselves. However we did face quite a bit of challenges. So first was the learner educational background. A lot of them I had not really had experience with negotiation. They weren't quite sure about things that we typically think of as like critical thinking, self assessment, due to the traditional teaching method that they were teaching themselves. What we would think of as autonomy was also lacking there. And so learner's reactions range from dropping out of the program, resistance, not completing assignments, insistence for us to teach traditionally, request to focus only on grammar and complaints that they weren't learning or could not see their progress. And so after reflection we realized that we didn't make our constraints explicit to the learners. We initially allowed too much flexibility. And while we were listening to the learners to pick the topics we weren't explicitly telling them why or how we were picking the topics. So we never explained why we were negotiating or that we were even negotiating. So it was very one-sided on our part. So we didn't compensate for the lack of experience and lacked much wanted and needed structure for the students. So our learners really didn't actually feel that they owned the course. So within the context of India some suggestions would be gradual negotiation through a draft syllabus, a split track, so having a balance of grammar and teacher training. Learning contracts where each learner can identify their own personal goals negotiated with the teacher one-on-one. Continued learning logs but turning this into a dialogue.  They hand it to the teacher. The teacher actually responds. And this also makes it so that all voices are heard. And it's not just one voice overriding everyone. And it allows the teacher to be able to pick topics based on what the learners want. And then also assessment. So really focusing on trying to introduce some sort of certificates at reaching certain levels where of course all of this would still need to be negotiated with the learners. So within Ireland and India there's a lot of multilingualism and also having multiple languages in the classroom. So in India, Hindi is not the only language. Most of the time I would say about 90% of our teachers and also students, Hindi was their second or third or fourth language. And English would have been their fourth or fifth language. And neither Hindi nor English was what they spoke at home. So also immigration. There is a high level of immigration as we all see here. And also in India from other areas in India coming for work and moving because of opportunities. So that created a revolving door within the school and also within the teachers. And I think we're all familiar with that here. So everyone there is considered non-native speakers, both the Hindi and English. And so there was aspects of integration. So when you receive a new teacher, where are they from? How is their culture different? Each section of India has a different culture. How are they going to integrate into the classroom community and also the wider society? And then also access and support. It's not enough to get the teachers into teacher training or get the students into school. There was a need for support to get them to the other end. So if we just got them in and let them do what they need to do, most of them would drop out, leave the school, fall through the cracks. And then also alternative and varied needs. I think we can see that with our students. Not everyone is here in Ireland for the same reasons. And not everyone in India was there teaching for the same reasons. So we really needed to be able to address that. So focusing in the classroom in Ireland, I've taken my experiences from India and I really tried to make more of an active effort to negotiate with my students here in Ireland and a more conscious effort. So flexibility within the course. So not just following the course book, following the curriculum. Within my class, I teach events levels. We have one day dedicated to off book. And every week we talk about it as a class. What do you want to see? What are your needs? Why are you here? And we start to pick topics. So within my class, there's a lot of EAP, a lot of business. Most of the students are looking for university or to get a job in their field. And also so teacher reevaluation of learner needs on a continuous basis. With the revolving door, our class is not going to stay the same. We can have new students every week. We can have students leaving every week, which makes negotiation even more important. Because we're having new students a new dynamic all the time. So talking with the students, figuring out their needs and having that input into the curriculum is really important. And then also learning outside of the classroom. So if you are teaching verbs of the senses, taking them to a museum and having them sit and listen and record what they hear, what they see, what they might taste at a cafe. So really bringing the learning just completely outside of the classroom. Just to get them integrated and also going around in the society that they're living in. And access to lectures, conferences and talks. So especially advanced learners who are interested in industry or in academics and providing that link between academia and the industry. A lot of the students just don't know about the talks, about the conferences, about the lectures, but they are interested. I've started telling my students any time I hear about talks and you'd be surprised 20, 30 students will show up to a talk that I've told them about. That also provides another thing for you to talk about in the classroom the next day. Additional options. So providing optional presentations or providing them the chance to teach small 10 minute mini lessons on something that they are an expert in. So that's for motivated students, not everyone, not course. All right. And also then again learning contracts and learning logs. So having something written and a continued dialogue. So I see a real need in Ireland for teachers to communicate with each other and with the learners and start, you know, talking about how to negotiate and really individualize our classrooms for the students that we have.

So, as you subtitle more and more, how do you take good care of your body or of your health so that you can subtitle in a sustainable way? I think the first tip we would like to give, the first recommendation is if you are working on a laptop, many beginners in subtitling, many suppliers start working on a laptop One of these things is to get an external keyboard This will help you Like a full-size keyboard, right? Yes, this can be very helpful in a number of ways First of all, many keyboard shortcuts use this numeric keypad There is an area in the keyboard with some extra keys and sometimes there are keyboard shortcuts, especially related to timing, which use this area So if you have a small laptop, you might not have a numeric keypad included in your laptop Having an external keyboard or an external keypad like this will be helpful It's much more convenient to use it for timing Sure, usually the external keyboards will be better It might be a better quality than the keyboard included in your laptop So it will be just nicer to touch on it, to type on it And you can get an ergonomic keyboard And usually ergonomic keyboards will have an area for you to have some rests for your rests And they will have a different distribution of the keys So the distance between different keys and the size of the keys will be different to match your anatomical shape of your fingers, of your hands, and so on So this will make typing less tiring Another important thing is that typing a lot on your keyboard means that you are putting your wrist on a flat space, the space of your laptop And if you type a lot on your laptop and you start feeling pain in your wrist this is a warning signal and this can develop into some serious health issues such as the carpal tunnel Yeah, I don't know all those fronts Yes, well that's true It's basically a pain in your wrist And one of the greatest things, the greatest gadget I have is this vertical mouse that I got So it looks quite complicated and difficult to use but it's very natural to the way it works So I guess... Put your hand like this Yeah, sorry, go ahead You wanted to explain it Yes, so starting from the basic idea if you are typing a lot and using a lot on that laptop or using a lot of the touchpad this means that your hands will be like... you will hold the... sorry That's okay, I can use my mouse you will hold them flat on the surface and this will be very uncomfortable anatomically for your hands So one way of avoiding that avoiding feeling pain or having very tired wrists after a lot of typing is having an ergonomic mouse There are many different types of ergonomic mice This is one example It looks a little bit strange and the idea is that instead of having your hand lying flat where there is a pressure on your wrist from the surface you are actually holding the mouse sort of vertically So there is no pressure on your wrist like your arm and your hand is vertical to the table, to the surface So this can be a great idea to have an ergonomic mouse I don't know if you just say that a lot of mice that I've seen are huge are produced for much bigger hands than I have So this is like a small sized mouse although it's quite big when you look at it, right? So make sure you also get the right size of the mouse for you Okay, and another thing is getting an ergonomic keyboard that will have some areas of cushion for you to rest your wrists when you are not typing and then a better distribution of keys that will make it less tiring to type and that will prevent pain on the long run Using ergonomic keyboards will also make you type faster because it will protect your health If you are feeling any sort of pain in your wrists, in your hands, in your arms that means there is something wrong with your position and try to change it as fast as possible before you develop any serious health issues The worst thing that can happen is if you type a lot especially on laptops in uncomfortable positions you can develop the so-called carpal tunnel that can disrupt your career and ultimately might require a surgery If you don't want to do that try to invest in having an ergonomic keyboard or an ergonomic mouse
