Why is it we as a society will train people to drive a car, but we do not train people to become better or more patient loving parents? Why is it that we as society are content to let our pride stand in the way of bettering ourselves for our families, when in reality many people could benifit from being taught even the most basic techniques of parenting(above and beyond changing a diaper)?

I've heard or read it before that we have to remove the tabs from pop cans before recyling and collect these tabs to donate for some cause / fund-raising or something. I have collected so much over a few years and still do not know where to bring them. Anyone knows anything about this?

I am working on a Science Fair project that is about anthropology. I have been looking for the correct category of anthropology that this falls under, but I'm not sure. This is what the paper says that gave us the idea for this project:

"Dating is a Science Too"
"Did you know that there are reasons you pick the people you date? And we're not just talking about your dates owning a car or being the best looking in your class! Although, those are status symbolswhich are part of our culture. If you study why those symbols are so important to our culture, when they started and what status symbols are important in other cultures, then your studying anthropology."

This is what we're doing:
"Make up a survey for you and your friends. Ask them what type of people their attracted to. What color hair? Eyes? Personality?"

So... If you have any information about this topic it would be much appreciated. Also... If you know the category it falls under that would be helpful also.

I don't know what to do. My 12 month old has had cold like symptoms for over a week and started running a high fever of 104 degrees Monday, we gave him tylenol and it went down but would rise again after just a few hours.
On Tues. we took him to the ER where no tests where done. The doc listened to his lungs looked in his ears and said it looks good so far. He said his throat looks like there may be puss so it's probably strep. He took no strep test. He gave the baby a shot of antibiotic that starts with an r but I cant spell it. I think it sounds like ro*ze*then*ol and prescribed zithromax.
The fever and all symptoms remained the same with the exception of the side effects of antibiotic which included diahrrea and an out of control yeast infection.
Friday night (lastnight) I took him to a different ER convinced the first doc didn't get the diagnosis right. The second doc said it's uncommon for babies of this age group to get strep and it cannot be diagnosed without a strep test. He ordered a blood culture and a chest x-ray. x-rays are good, chest is clear. He says he doesn't see anything life threatning goin on here but we nned to give him a shot of antibiotic (the same one the first doc gave him). I told him he just got that shot tues why are doing this again saturday? He explained that sometimes when people come in to the ER for one illness they will often leave with another contracted while in the waiting room.
I don't agree with giving baby more antibiotic but I allow it, I also followed the second docs advise about not giving baby any more of the zithromax that the first doc prescribed.
Today (day six) he woke up with a fever again, and again I have to constantly give him alternating doses of motrin and tylenol to keep it down. The only change in baby's condition is that now he is wetting his diaper once every 7-10 hours and it's not much. He's not eating so good. He's always hated juice and solid foods but aside from 6 oz of formula I was able to force down only 20cc of apple juice. Hubby is bringing pedialite which will also be forced down buy holding his arms down and holding his head while we push the fluid in his mouth with a medicine dispenser.
I don't know what else to do.
When is enough actually enough? The second doc did say for me to return if his fever doesn't go away in 2 days. But that is EXACTLY what I was doing there, following up since the fever hadn't gone down.
Taking him to his ped. doc isn't an option. My husband changed jobs so we've moved and the old heath insurance is gone as of 10-31-06 and new one becomes effective Jan 2, 2007.
We will greatly appreciate any help with this situation!

If your answer is "Ew your sick, why would I do that?" then just move along. Go answer a question about hair or clothes or something.

My best friend wants to have sex with this guy. However, she does not take birth control, doesnt want a child, and surely wouldnt want an abortion. I have told her to stay abstinant, but she is curious. What should I tell her? Risk her entire life of all her hardwork(She is a well-educated person) or suffer the consequences?

Let them do a tour of duty. If this isn't a good idea to you, what do you think should be done with them?
Maybe they should train to become a soldier the first prison visit.
And if they turn up at the prison gates a second time, then they are sent to fight for their country.
