Education & Reference - 10 May 2007

Hi,
I dont understand the usage of "understanding". I want to be able to say that she/she is very understanding as in he/she can understand your feelings,empathize etc, but is the stmt correct?:
[1] "he is very understanding".
I know that the stmt: "he is very understandable" is obviously incorrect though.
To me this usage conflicts with the usage:[2] "I had a hard time 'understanding' how the system worked".

First pl, let me know if [1] is correct.
Then to help me gain insight, pl let me know the difference in way 'understanding' is being used in [1] and [2].

Thanks

Some examples I already have are:

Human life-we send troops to fight over oil and they can die, we kill for oil(this section can be added to if there are more ideas as to how human life is devalued when it comes to oil)

Environment- We know co2 emmissions are bad for environment and oil(gas) from cars puts more c02 into air so the us values the oil over environment) This section needs more examples as well.

IF YOU DONT AGREE WITH MY PAPER THEN DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING!! IF YOU DO PLEASE GIVE EXAMPLES!

Thanks!!!

I was recently accepted and will be starting Grad. school full time (maybe) in the Fall. I am having serious doubts at the moment because I keep thinking about the fact that I am going to have to dedicate two more years to school. I know that education is worth it; however, would one degree suffice? Wouldn't you be able to get just about the same job with a Bachelors as you would with a Masters? Do employers really care if you have a Masters degree, or do they care more about experience? I am elated at being accepted into graduate school; however, my doubts stem from the financial burden, and the burden of knowing that I am committing more of my life to being in school, versus on a full time job like I know I probably should be. What do you think?

its a sonnet about my mother and how she compares to the sunrise- so i need a semi-short title that will automatically show the metaphor and kinda describe how my mom is like the sunrise (she supports everything i do no matter what ive messed up in the past just how the sunrise will come up everyday no matter how much your day went wrong) -its bad i know but i really need a title that will tell the reader about the metaphor before they start reading and also it has to be unique nothing stupid like "my mom and the sunrise"

PLEEEASE help!!!!!! and thanks in advance.

I have tried 4 times to figure this problem out and my teacher keeps telling me it's wrong...She won't help anyone, because she thinks it's wrong...It's not even a test, she NEVER helps anyone, except to tell you if it's right or wrong. Can you work it out and give the answer please?...Thanks...Here it is:

Scott, a freshman at Michigan State University, needs to walk from his dorm room in Wilson Hall to his math class in Wells Hall. Normally, he walks 500 meters east and 600 meters north along the sidewalks, but today he is running late. He decides to take the shortcut through the Tundra.

a.) How many meters long is Scott's shortcut?
b.) How much shorter is the shortcut than Scott's usual route?

Ugh! Everyone at my school says, "That's retarded!" or "That's gay!", which is so annoying because they use it in mean ways. Retarded means you are learning disabled or actually have a medical condition in your brain.... it doesn't mean you're just stupid! Do you hear people do this? What's a way to get them to stop without sounding adultish?

How does the theme of gang enhance your understanding of this passage?

“When you’re a Jet,
You’re a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin’ day.
When you’re a Jet,
If the spit hits the fan,
You got brothers around,
You’re a family man!
You’re never alone,
You’re never disconnected!
You’re home with your own-
When company’s expected,
You ‘re well protected!
Then you are set
With a capital J,
Which you’ll never forget.
Till! They cart you away.
You stay
A jet!
