①PUA stands for "Pick-up Artist." It started as a term for people who use clever ways to influence their interactions (交流) with others, especially between lovers. This idea has grown, and now it also means people use tricks to control others in the workplace and online. It's very helpful to know about PUA because it can deeply influence how you feel about your development. Here are some common behaviors to be careful.
②Sometimes people who use PUA tricks criticize a lot. They might tell you that you're always doing things wrong. It is just a way to make you feel sorry about yourself rather than helping you improve. They may also try to keep you away from your friends and family. This makes you depend on them, and gives them more control over you. Another trick is called gaslighting (煤气灯效应). For example, you remember something clearly, but they keep saying it didn't happen. They want you to doubt (怀疑) what you know is true.
③To avoid PUA behaviors, there are several steps you can take. First, learn to tell what healthy friendships and relationships look like. Being confident is also important because it will be not so easy for others to trick you. Besides, you should be brave to say no when something feels wrong. What's more, talking to someone you trust like a teacher can be very useful.
④Knowing these signs and how to deal with them can help you have better relationships. It's like building a strong foundation (基础) for happy and healthy relationships as you get older.
"Robots, drones(无人机) and AI will do around 90% of the housework by 2040, " scientists from King's College said.
Mischa Dohler and Dr. Ian Pearson wrote a report to predict what homes will look like in 20 years. In it, they said that housework like washing the clothes and doing the dishes would be much easier because of technology progress(进步). If technology kept making progress, they expected that people would spend less than two hours a day in doing housework.
