Social Science - 17 January 2007

I have recently completed my bachelor degree. After I have discussion with my teachers. I am going to study master degree. I want to learn something about changing people or human behaviour, so I can change and improve my mother’s and father’s attitude toward me and how they communicate with me. I want to change their behaviours so they can say something nice to me. Should I study psychology? or humanity? These two are similar.

I ask because when I was in high school we learned that the Americas were sparsely populated when the Europeans arrived, and most of the inhabitants were nomadic tribes of one sort of another. Also, they were naieve politically

Turns out that research since at least the 60s is leading people to believe that the Americas had more people than Europe at the time, and that cities like Tenochtitlan were more populous than Paris (and in better condition, with running water etc.). The disparity seems to come from the fact that by the time later Europeans came to document the native peoples, up to 8 or 9 in 10 native peoples had died due to smallpox, influenza, or other disease brought (unintentionally in the vast majority of cases) by Europeans. That accounts for millions of people and also for the quick fall of some of the civilizations after conflict with Europe.

Also there was complex, Machiavellian politics in the new world before Eurpeans came.

Do they teach any of this these days?

Some many people want what someone else has without even working for it---mostly. I see that a lot on TV. It's not just material, it's people. Someone wants to be noticed by that parent or siblings---if not a mate.

You know the guy or girl that's great on paper, a perfect match but you just don't feel that spark. Do you think it's possible to trick yourself into developing genuine feelings of love for this person? Why or why not?

Hi all... Please help...During ugly arguments with my partner I sometimes burst out laughing.. It is not because I find it funny... or am laughing at him but it is a reaction I can not control.. I try hard to stop myself as he's gets really angry and aggressive......but can not help it.. We generally are not able to communicate well... somehow it always turns into an argument even though I can't see a reason why.. as we are grownups.. I feel my hysterical laugh is unability to deal with his anger and aggression.. but he doesn't believe me.. He trully believes I laugh at him..in his face.. Actually I am in a satete and trully scared... Advice please

If the American leaders continue to lead with their own financial interest in mind, then will the average American take steps to revolt against the government? Are today's Americans capable of revolting against bad government or are they too comfortable or? How uncomfortable would the average American need to be for them to actively try to change or correct the current system?

Why do you want to get rid off all information on a person you loved ? I just wonder what happens in the brain, why it turns so fast and so drastic ? And why do some people just lost the hope immediatly when they realize that the person they are in love with doesn't like them? I shouldnt give up that easy, or am I just an optimist :P Thanx for answer!

I don't understand these weirdos. They see what it's costing them: family, time in jail, friend as well as self-esteem, but they stay that way. How do they rationalize it?

Hi, I am working on a term paper for developmental psychology. Right now I am trying to come up with a topic, we can pick almost anything that we want. It has to do with development of the human obviously, and it has to be answering a question of some sort. My major is psychology and I am interested in the future in working with genetic disorders. So, I am trying to come up with a question that I can find research on and write a term paper on. Any ideas would be appreciated. thanks!
