Accounting in Our Lives

Available from March 14, 2008 – 9:57 pm

Anyone working in an office at some point in time will definitely has something to deal with accounting department. Account people are those who pay and send out the bills that maintain the business. However, they don’t do only that. Being called as “bean counters”, they also take care of profits, costs and losses.

Accounting is basically information, which is published periodically in business as a profit and loss statement, or an income statement.

Without some form of accounting, you will have no idea of how profitable - or not - your business is no matter what kind of business you’re in. Balance a check book?  That is accounting. Accounting is even part of a kid’s life such as saving an allowance, spending it all at once. These are what we call accounting principles.

Accounting is critical for all businesses whether it’s a multi-billion dollar or a start-up one. Not doing so can mean anything from a bounced check or posting a loss to a company’s shareholders. Both scenarios can be equally devastating.

Well, do you know that farmers also need to strictly follow accounting procedures? Many of them take loans to plant the crops. That’s how they run their farms year over year.  They can pay off their loan in good years with profits. If not, they might have to carry the loan over, and bear more interest charges.

Accounting helps both business and individual control their finances. Without accounting, they don’t know what they’ve spent, or how much they earned or loss. It’s some kind of activity that everyone needs in their lives, at least once in a while.

Anger Management Problem in Family

Available from March 13, 2008 – 2:54 am

If  you has ever dealt with a family member that has anger management problems, you know that the toll that these problems can take on a family is huge. It can lead to familial conflicts as well as the alienation of family members.

In many ways, dealing with a family member that has anger management problems is very similar to dealing with a family member with an alcohol or drug addiction.  In all three situations, the typical family dynamic is thrown for a loop and new patterns begin to emerge.  The family dynamic often need to change, which results in placing a good deal more stress on other family members to fill the void that is left by a family member with anger problems. 

Beside the new familial dynamics that can emerge, the heavy emotional toll on family members is immense and often times long lasting.

Because anger problems tend to turn people into social outcasts and prevent them from completing many common daily tasks, other family members have to pick up the slack.  This can include children having to deal with other adults intead of their parents. This can include a spouse being forced to constantly make excuses to friends and family members about why their partner is having an outburst. Over time, this change in the family dynamic takes a huge toll on every family member and can cause lasting damage.

The damage to family dynamics is not only limited to adults, but to children and teenagers with the same anger management problems as well.  Often, in a tense situation when a child has an anger management problem, the parents don’t really know what to do, and sometimes end up blaming each other as a way to find a solution for the problem.  Obviously, this is not a real answer, and it only makes the situation worse.

In other cases, the parents can actually turn to alienate a child with anger management problems, which only fuels the anger and makes the problem much more serious.
Severe emotional damage of family members is one of the long-term effects of anger management problems on families and in some cases the inability to totally repair the familial bond that was once present.

Because of this terrible consequence, it is important to treat anger management problems with the same stamina and determination that you would treat a family member who has drug or alcohol addictions. 

Through lots of hard work, love, classes, and therapy, any family can overcome the crippling nature of a family member who has anger management problems. However, if left unattended, the problem can cascade to the point where the damage is irrevocable and therapy will only act as a bandage on the wound but will never fully heal it.
