Social Science - 4 January 2007

When I ask a lot of adults in an older age range I found out that their values changed because they had kids. They began to value their children more and decrease the level of their other values. So why is it that different age groups value different things and why?

THANK YOU!

i have been haveing this dream over and over again for about a week, i appear in a plain room the walls are all white that seems to give me a feeling of comfort when i see them, there are no doors or windows at all but i cant be too sure because its a bit blurry.. then i see a figure of a person wich stands really close to me but i cant make out the face or anything because the blurr seems to get worse.. anywayz the last thing i hear or feel is someone talking to me saying "it wont be long now" and then i wake up, it all happens pretty fast though and i'm suprised i can remember it in such detail but either way if it means something i'd like to know.

I dream intensly almost every night and wake up on average 2 times a night from my dreams. My dreams may cover almost any aspect. Why do I dream so much, I need to try and stop it because it is making me really tired in the day...

A woman passes by a house where a man is standing naked in front of a window. The man is declared an exhibitionist and would be arrested for indecent exposure.

Now let's switch the genders: a man passes by a house where a woman is standing naked in front of a window. The man is declared a peeping tom and would be arrested for invasion of privacy.

Do you agree with the feminist view that the man is guilty in both cases?

in a lot of movies that i have seen, people get into accidents and lose their memory. when memory is loss, they forget all their loved ones and events that they have went through. but they don't seem to forget to do other things such as writing, reading, etc. is this even true? and if you have lost your memory, would you even be able to regain it?

…against the law in Germany to question the official story of WW2? I mean, if I was to say that the massacre in the Katyn forest was done by the soviets & not the Germans, they’ll throw me in prison.

I find myself worrying over little things and thinking about them all the time, things like my carpet is dirty shoulds be an insignificant thing but it stresses me out to the point where I can't go in the room with the light on, I have to eat my dinner in the dark.
Why am I getting obsessed with unimportant things?

Seems to me a lot of what feminists claim to be fighting for are based on blatant falsehoods. The "wage gap" being the biggest one:

http://www.mensnewsdaily.com/blog/2005/07/wage-gap-myth-is-hazardous-to-mens.htm

A study in the May issue of American Economic Review (2003) had found that the wage gap between men and women was the result of lifestyle choices, not discrimination.

Is there one? I find it extremely insulting that the word 'nymphomaniac' refers only to women. Almost like it's a disease for a woman to like sex. What's the name for a man who is addicted to sex besides labelling him a 'sex addict' as if he has no control of his action therefore not responsible. Anyone know another word?
Oh and for those who don't believe me:

I would like to know how you feel it, how you look at it... philosophically.

I know we've already had this kind of question here :" tell me what you know about water? " - from BarrelRacer0506 ...but tell me more...

I had the thought that I will never know when I die, because thoughts always happen about things in the past, never the present moment. So I will die and my senses will be gone, and I won't actually ever get to "experience" death. I'm already seeing a counselor, but she just says there's nothing I can do about it, so I might as well tackle my "fear of life" instead.

I love shopping so much and often buy lots of stuff esp cloths which I do not really need. I wonder how to quit this bad habit since I do want to stop wasting my money.

How can we actively improve socio-economic circumstances for everyone at the expense of no one, though actions either as individuals or collectively, through business or politics? Alternatively, if you think this might be happening spontaneously, as some sort of historical epiphenomena, explain why or how. Thirdly, if you see a way to that we can finesse the latter with the former, I'm all ears.
