Apathy is the lack of emotion, motivation, or enthusiasm. Apathy is a psychological term for a state of indifference — where an individual is unresponsive or "indifferent" to aspects of emotional, social, or physical life. Clinical apathy is considered to be at an elevated level, while a moderate level might be considered depression, and an extreme level could be diagnosed as a dissociative disorder. The physical aspect of apathy associated with physical deterioration, muscle loss, and lack of energy is called lethargy †...

Contrary to common belief, clinical diagnosis of "apathy" does not indicate laziness — but in common use the correlation is rather direct. In religious doctrine, slothfulness is considered to be a sin which leads to further disassociation with life and prescience — in this context, to be substantially disassociated is to be "in hell" which is to say 'in a state where the spirit or soul is destroyed or otherwise in a state of destruction.' The concept of disassociation is controversial — in the practice of many Eastern religions, ...

Laziness is the lack of desire to act or work in general or to do an act or work that is expected of the person. The general tendency to do nothing, in extreme cases can verge to apathy and be a symptom of depression. What is considerered laziness varies depending on cultural/societal context and magnitude, but it is generally considered a negative quality, as in sloth (see Seven deadly sins).

Detachment is a state in where a person becomes separated from his or her environment and its influence. It is an important principal in Buddhism, Zen philosophy, and Kabbalah. In psychology it is referred to as dissociation or apathy. Detachment is also the state of not being influenced by other people or personal feelings, the state of being unbiased. Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" expressed the concept (in chapter 44) as: Fame or Self: Which matters more? Self or Wealth: Which is more precious? Gain or Loss: Which ...

Apatheism is a portmanteau (a haplology combining apathy with either atheist or theist) for the position that God may exist but is of no real importance to one's daily life. It was used by columnist Jonathan Rauch in The Atlantic Monthly in 2003. There is also a satiric web page with the title "The Church of Apatheism". There are also instances of the term being used on message boards and other Internet venues as early as July 2000. Apatheism is not precisely synonymous to atheism, but rather holds that the question of whether or not God exists may be meaningful ...

A recluse is someone in isolation who hides away from attention of the public, a person who lives in seclusion from intercourse with the world; from the Latin recludere, to shut up or sequester. A person may become a recluse for many reasons: a celebrity may seek to escape the attentions of their fans; a misanthrope may be unable to tolerate human society; a survivalist may be practicing self-sufficiency. Also, it can be due to psychological problems - such as apathy, a phobia, or other anxiety disorders. A person may also become a recluse for religious reasons, in which case they are ...

In politics, voter fatigue is the apathy that the public can experience when they are required to vote too often. It is often used as a criticism of the direct democracy system, in which voters are constantly asked to decide on policy via referendums. However, proponents often counter that voter fatigue may be lessened by direct democracy as voters will feel their vote has more effect. Voter fatigue can cause notoriously low voter turnout rates, and potentially more protest vote, and supposedly occurs for a variety of re ...

The three "R's" of New Zealand culture are Rugby, Racing and beeR. This cultural image probably has its origins in colonial agricultural New Zealand, when hard farm work such as harvesting, shearing and droving took place in hot summer conditions. The large number of soldiers who left New Zealand to fight in the First and Second World Wars and their subsequent socialising have contributed to this image. Commander of 2nd New Zealand Division, General Bernard Freyberg, famously stated that all his troops wanted for happiness ...

The plural forms for the birds are the anglicised kiwis or, followin ...

The remoteness of many parts of New Zealand and the distance of the country from much of the developed world meant that things that were easily obtainable in other parts of the world were often not readily available locally. New Zealand has only recently experienced economic development outside farming, so traditionally, Kiwis are jacks-of-all-trades to some extent, willing to roll up their sleeves and have a go. Most highly industrialised countries produce experts trained in narrow fields of specialisation, but New Zealand professionals are often generalists as well. This reputation often makes New Zealanders ...

Due to the small population base and a lack of arts funding sources, many artists have struggled to sustain themselves economically, even though they may achieve popular success. For this reason many of New Zealand's best artists go overseas to further their careers, especially to Australia, but also to Europe or America. Arts funding is provided through a specific arts based government department, Creative New Zealand. New Zealand, like many countries, imports much of its cultural material from overseas, particularly from Britain and ...

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor - Basic understanding. In the brain, information is passed between two neurons (nerve cells) via a synapse, a small gap between the cells. The neuron that sends the information releases neurotransmitters (with serotonin among them) into that gap. The neurotransmitters are then recognized by receptors on the surface of the recipient cell, which upon this stimulation, in turn, relays the signal. About 10% of the neurotransmitters are lost in this process, the other 90% are released from the receptors and taken up again by mon ...
