Social Science - 18 July 2006

It seems to me that the United States has put itself out of business in manufacturing consumer goods. Everything in the stores, in the catalogs is marked "Made in China." Often these are inferior goods to what we were once used to here in the U.S. when American manufactures, and American workers, took pride in products. Every time I get exasperated with something I bought from China, I say under my breath, "Chinese Junk," and I'll comment to my wife that someday we'll be made in China, too. Seems to me that the U.S. has given away an important part of its economy and such folly may come back to bite us. What do you think?

i have recently had some stuff happen, and i won't go into detail about it, but it made me wonder why some ppl are such haters. why is it that some ppl tear down the achievements of others even when they are not getting any personal pleasure out of it? why is it that some ppl can't even stand behind their own friends and family? they can't be happy for anyone. you see them. they're always angry and waiting for someone else to screw up so they can try to make them feel worse. why do you think they are doing this? if you have personal experience with one of these ppl or you are one of these ppl please enlighten me.

I honestly think a lot of people use the word ignorant without actually knowing what it means themselves (ignorant of ignorant).. I mean I'm racist, homophobic (literally afraid of gay people, not that made up definition) AND I dislike gay people... but I'm not ignorant at all.

I have been dating this guy for almost 4 months and he still finds it hard to trust me. He doesn't really talk about his feelings unless he is high or drunk. Does the truth come out then?

When you ask a serious question on this service, you are bombarded by juvenile answers or ways to avoid suicide. I really would like to know how many people actually give a damn about other people. Not too much to ask? And no, I am not suicidle, queer, imature... nor connected to any particular political persuasion. Those without sensible answers need not reply although I understand you probably need the points! God Bless you one and all.

Think about it. Since Beavis & Butt-Head, Ren & Stimpy and 2 Stupid Dogs cartoons have gotten very morbid and dark. Im not in favor of Bugs Bunny dressing as a womean kissing Elmer Fudd but things havent nessecarily gotten better. Even the movies hint at sexuality and other adult issues children shouldnt have to face. yes today's kids are a lot smarter than past generations but at what cost?

any good issues to delve into (besides the ones noted and the productivity paradox) or any good scholarly articles to site for this paper i have to write?

You are an employee at a large commercial organization which has decided to cut back on its expenditures on travel for meetings by investing in a series of videoconferencing technologies. A new coordinating committee is formed to discuss how to alter organizational procedures to take advantage of this new technology.

Sample issues to investigate:
- should meetings be permanently archived and referenced for promotion/firing decisions by HR?
- should companies be allowed to monitor employee's use of videoconferencing as they do Internet and e-mail?
- what kinds of unanticipated problems and opportunities might arise from the use of this technology?
- how might the introduction and deployment of new technologies impact their adoption and use

Yes or no and why? What is your personal belief on lying? DO we all do it or are some of us "special."
