Social Science - 16 June 2006

As humans, we constantly focus on the differences, of what we perceive as detriments amongst those around us. But if it's true, that we were all created equal, then why does our society create a hierarchy, essentially categorizing others that maybe better/worse than ourselves? Does it have something to do with inflating our self esteem? Or is it a method of highlighting our own weaknesses and that of those around us, offering up a self-validating excuse as to why we may not be as successful as those listed on the Forbes 500?

1.The ability to heal your body within minutes, through a conscious force of will (ie. You have to consciously force your body to heal using only the biological material within your body. If you should happen to loose a limb for instance you’ll have to start eating a lot of food in order to convert it into cells of rebuilding that limb),

2.The ability to pass through solid matter (only thing is, you have to remember that gravity will be the first thing that will seize hold of you when you use your power, so you may need to make a running leap before you turn on your power in order to pass through a wall. Also if you turn it off while your body is within a solid object the effects could be disastrous, if not fatal).

Why would you choose that power and what would you use it for?

P.S. I didn't know what to categorize this question under, except for maybe stupid. Whatever.

I go to a boarding school and I live in a dorm of 6. I have to live next to a 18 year old south korean.
I have tried to be reasonable with him for the last three months, I even bought him a birthday present!
He is extremely abusive, feels the rules don't apply to him and makes constant threats of physical violence. I cannot even live or study anymore, because he constantly plays loud rap music, even when all the other boys are trying to study.

How do I deal with him? I would also appreciate some info about south koreans and why they are like they are.

I'm polish, and I've attended Polish school and I have a striking memory about learning Poland's history prior to WWI. Yet my history teacher says that Poland was created after WWI. I told myself that famous people (prior to WWI), such as Chopin, Copernicus, and numerous others were'nt from a group of people that spoke polish but a country too.

List Sources please...
Thanks

You know the "cause of the week"- don't smoke, don't eat bacon, don't wear fur, don't drive an SUV, don't discipline your children, that kind of thing. I'm so busy keeping my own life straight I don't have time to worry if the neighbors arent meeting societies expectations.

Anyone have an answer, please don't bother bashing me, I understand you have strong feelings. It's just a question, man
