Voici le texte de Zineb :

“How people learn to become resilient, this manuscript gives evidence and results of the research made in order to understand “resilience”. A developmental psychologist, Norman Garmezy, conclude according to his analysis to thousands of children, that there are some, despite their deprivations and low economic status, who remain solidity and good behavior. 

According to him, this is resilience. After his death, Emmy Werner, development psychologist, in her research, notices that one- third of the children being exposed to all kind of stress, even before birth, unlike the two-third, shows a high level of competence and confidence, attaining academic and social success. And she finds out that the reason behind this thriving outcome is due to luck on the first hand, and most importantly, the psychological aspect on the other hand, which is mainly the response to the surroundings. Resilience according to her could vary with time. 

People who are not resilient can approve this skill and vise versa. further, George Bonanno, a clinical psychologist, completing the previous ideas he adds that the main element which can make the difference of being resilient or not is perception, how a person forms the even, trauma or opportunity. Another similar research state that everything people experience in life could be categorized into these two types according to each one vision and perspective. Therefore, resilience is the ability to overcome troubles, it is a technique that can be learned. At the morning debate, Soukaina sees that this situation is typically that of many children in Morocco and abroad and that the authorities should provide better conditions. The article is a good choice to make us sloppy, as it is motioned, in a positive way. However, I think that when it is necessary, we should face the problem and try to fix it, or learn from it and we shouldn’t totally ignore it, otherwise, it would be a sort of accumulation that would lead to a breaking point.”
