if the democrats raise the minimum wage it would help a lot of people, but only those who make minimum wage. Would it cause inflation? Would the dollar's value decrease?

About 10 years ago during an Olympic Track and Field event in which (I believe) Jackie Joyner Kersy (sp?) was running, the comentator said that black people have a genetic something-something in their hip area that makes them able to run faster than people of other races. Can anyone make an intelligent comment on that? No racial epithets, please.

All these doubts, uncertainties about life, what to do in the future in matter of career, will we find someone who loves and understand us, what's the meaning of life, and all those individual questions about life and the world that people say is normal in your early twenties... - Does it gets better as you get more mature, do you became more at peace with your life and with yourself and the surrounding world and find happiness
or it's more or less the same feelings all along your path in life but as the years pass you learn to deal more effectively with them, and learn to look more calmly to doubts and all the uncertainty about life?

Im interested in studying psychology at uniersity, howver Im wondering what exactly the course entails. Is it based a lot on science? I know science isn't required for the subject however I am enquiring about how much it is involved. Also I study sociology at the moment and am wondering just how much psychology is related to this?

I have an acquaintance who is extremely materialistic and likes imposing her opinions and her way of living on me. Talking to her is just simply boring to me because there’s usually one main subject: money. I do not envy this person AT ALL and I am not interested in how her business is doing, how big her house is, etc. If that’s the way she likes to live that’s fine, but I don’t like to be told that I should be this way too. I don’t think she’s happy in her life and she just seems very insecure in general.

I am starting my own business and what I do is very artistic and creative. I consider myself very lucky because my job is my real passion and joy. My job requires constant learning and developing the skills which I love as well. It does take time to start making good money in what I do. I had a few clients already and right now I am working on my business advertising. I believe that everything in life should be in balance and I try to live like that. Making money and having a business is only one part of my life but it is not my reason to live or my main goal in life.

Now, I don’t know if I am oversensitive or wrong about it, but it really makes my angry when my acquaintance asks me “Do you have any clients?” EVERY time she talks to me. Isn’t a little bit like asking somebody if and/or how much money they’re making? Isn’t that pretty impolite? This person does not have very good manners in general anyway, but that’s a different story…

Another thing is that this person likes giving advice even though I never asked her for any advice. She tells me what meetings I should go to, what are the best advertising strategies and what the best things for my business are. She’s not telling me all of this because she sincerely cares about me. It’s more like trying to intimidate or control me…

I realize that I cannot avoid dealing with people like her in my life and I would like to ask what are the best ways/strategies to respond to people asking you questions like that? What do you say to people like that?

Next semester I am doing a module that involves choosing my own topic to investigate. I have to come up with a research question to answer. The essay is 6000 words long. The topics I am interested in are Depression, Schizophrenia, Smoking, Obesity, Body Esteem/Body Dissatisfaction, and Eating Disorders. I have 3 possible research questions so far but I would like some more just incase none of these are suitable. I want it to be original and I want something whereby there is plenty of available literature that will help me answer the question. Serious suggestions only please! Thanks!

Is it important to you to be the biological father of your child ? How would you feel if it turns out, say because of an dna test that you did to be sure, that the child of your gf/wife you have been a father to has been fathered by sombody else ? Would it be no biggy ? Really serious ? A reason for major anger ? I posted it in the women studies, because it affects also women.
