Social Science - 23 October 2006

I have decided to get a master's in social work. My question is, how competitive is admission into these programs? Are they very competitive? I heard the GRE is not required, which is good because I am terrible in Math. Also, for anyone that is getting their MSW, are you happy with your choice?

I was amazed by how the Amish community showed love and forgiveness towards the man who murdered their children.... Since George is supposedly a Christian... shouldnt he also be trying to demonstrate love and forgiveness?

I wasn't afraid of the silly people going around frightening people, but I was afraid of being stabbed. I would be on line and I would wince everytime someone got too close to behind me on those crowded long lines. Then I would see people bungie jumping and it would scare the mess out of me too. I was thinking that they would die and so would I from being stabbed. What is this? Am I suffering from paranoia???

I'm wondering how often people get hit on/approached. I have friends who get hit on what seems like fairly frequently, then others who are equally attractive who say it is rare for them. Oh and what's your age and the general area in which you live. Thanks

I observed a woman doing this while in line at the grocery store recently. First she'd do it with her left foot and shoe and then, after she was finished, she started with the right one. The lady behind me commented: "Is she nervous or something?" And I just shrugged and said: "Could be." This involves either consciously or subconsciously slipping your feet in and out of your shoes while standing in line, sitting down at a table at the food court or library, leaning against a counter, etc. This is called "dipping". "Dangling" means to let your shoe slide off of your foot partially while seated while 'nervously' shaking your foot up and down.
Is this really a nervous thing for you? Conscious or subconscious? Or are you just so bored with standing in long lines that you just have to do something?

I deal with Social Security numbers everday, and I've always wondered what designates someone's number. Its obviously not in ascending order. Does it have to do with where you were born?

I'm doing a survey for Sociology, would you please answer these short questions, and provide basic demographic info (approximate age, race, sex). Thanks for your help!

1. do you think there are more people in prison for violent or non violent crimes?

2. do you think there are more people in prison because there is more crime?

3. What percentage of prisoners do you think were seriously involved with drug and/or alchohol abuse/addiction before incarceration?

4. do you think prisoners today are serving more, less, or about the same amount of time than they did a few years ago?

5. do you think that if we take prisoner's privileges (tv, phone, computer access) they'll stop committing crime because they won't want to come back to prison?

6. do you think the death penalty has any impact on crime?

7. do you think the "3rd strike" rule has any impact?

8. do you believe prisoners should be allowed to marry?

9. do you think convicted felons should be allowed to vote
