Are we the cause of our own circumstances, whether accidental or not? If something totally beyond our control happened to us, did we some how cause it through our conscious and subconscious thoughts and intentions?

What I mean, is daughters for their fathers, and sons for their mothers? Is that normal?? Of course, I don't mean to tell anyone to carry out those feelings at all!!! But is it normal, thing most people experience?

In the west masculinity/ femininity are considered just social constructs with no biological basis. That is to say that anyone can be masculine or femininie just by doing certain things or not doing certain things. Masculinity/ femininity according to this point of view lie outside of us --- in the acts that we do.

The east considers masculinity/ femininity to be inherent/ biological. So, a masculine person will remain masculine and a feminine person will remain feminine, irrespective of the acts.

Which viewpoint do you think is true, and why?

I'm going to be doing a persuasive speech and I'm having trouble finding a topic. I need to persuade my audience of something and I want it to be original. I want a topic that will really make my audience think. For example, the positive side of sweat shops. They might not pay much, but for many that $1 a day is keeping them alive and away from prostitution. Something like that (I can't use that one because it was an example my professor gave). This is my final speech, so I need it to be a good one. I'm speaking to college students so I need something that will affect them, but yet I don't want it to be about not smoking or something like that because my professor has probably heard a million speeches about that topic. Please help.

Ever since I had a stress breakdown case in near the end of my 9th grade year in high school, I've never been able to recall anything to the great magnitude I had before.

Before my stress case, I was able to tell people anything that happened during the day: from what was on their desk to the vocabulary words on the board. I would even go to cities I've never been before and I remember my way back home.

However, it's been 2 years now, and I have a lot of trouble remembering if I have even spoke to someone that day. It frustrates me that before my stress case, I relied heavily on my vast memory recall. Now, I can't remember a darn thing.

***My question is, is it possible to lose this vast memory recall?***

P.S. Also, is good memory recall linked to puberty? I mean, if your body and brain is growing exponentially, wouldn't that mean the brain had more room to store things, and therefore you would just naturally remember a lot of things?

Quoting some sentences from the book It's All Your Fault How to Make it As A Hollywood Assistant: "If you a child of divorced parents and had to take care of one or both of them, then you are well prepared for this job.(Celebrity Personal Assistant) If you tend toward abusive relationships, that's a bonus! Have Daddy-Pleasing difficulties? You're hired"

Anyway what do they mean, that if you've been in an abusive relationship or bad traumatic childhood you are made for this job? If so how is that?

I just had my heart cruelly broken recently over a simple crush yet I've been devastated. I'm numb and dont feel anything when another guy likes me.. It's already been 3 weeks. Sometimes I just break out crying at home. I've been excercising a lot lately because it makes me feel better.. but the high wears off in a day and im back to being depressed. What's wrong with me?
