Social Science - 25 January 2007

I confronted a cousin about a innapropriate comment made the previous day of the service for the death of my grandpa. We don't talk and i had no way of getting ahold of her after the service. I approached her in a secluded halway and told her my hurt. Apparently someone overheard. My grandmother found out and was quite upset. I felt it was so wrong for her to talk badly about anyone during a grieving process and i don't feel like i was in the wrong. Any suggestions?

What is it called pschologically? How do you fix it?
The other day, while job searching, an HR lady emailed me asking some info about my experience and acedemic scores. I went over the response for 5hours before sending it! I felt it had to be just right, as if I can control the messeage and the reader's responses and feelings if I tailor the words the right way; thereby increasing my chances of another favorable response from the HR lady. Today, I called a place about an application deadline and the secretary started making small talk-I wasn't prepared for it so quickly stated my question and got off the phone-she seemed offended by me not chit-chatting. Now, I'm obsessing all day thinking about how I should have talked more to make a good impression. She doesn't know my name or anything but it seems I could have "worked" the conversation better. Now my head hurts thinking about it so much! It's not that I worry, but I obsess over thinking how I could have done it better-strategy.

When talking about movie prices and the highest-grossing films, the unadjusted leader is Titanic, while Gone with the Wind is the adjusted number one. Why have ticket prices changed? Why is it important to adjust for inflation, in the movie aspect, and in other scenerios too?

Does anyone have any orginal thoughts or all we all products of our environment? Do we all engage in mainstream media and think one band, movie, tv show is better than the next when in reality they're all the same?

The question is raised, because we are intelligent beings, and must differ from animals. Must repect other living creatures. Also, if we do not stop eating meant, we will eventually start eating human meat, legally. We are over crowding the earth, and nothing if enough. Our requirement is becomming more and more, with no thought of leaving some for our children and their children.

I´m living in Germany for a few years already and go to school here. When my stupid latin teacher found out I was American she didn´t leave out a chance to insult our culture... Today it was really bad, she said Americans had no kind of education and we were all so stupid and didn´t even know our names... O come on, that really hurts, I´d like to kill her, what shall I do with her? What can I say ( I need a good grade in Latin to pass...) great! Should I really let her insult me?

If u were barefoot in a park or campus, or at home, sitting or laying in a position that allowed the soles of feet to be perfetcly viewed, and u realized somebody is looking at'em quite often, what would u think? And most importantly how would u react? Would u let him/she see them, maybe even a little flirtasciously? Would u change position in order to cover them? Or u just wouldn't care at all, and let him/she enjoy the view of the bottom of ur feet?

100 years ago, there may have been £100,000,000,000 in the world. Today there is probably ten times more. Where does this money come from? Presumably, someone has to "add" money into the economy. Who does this, how do they do it, and why do they do it?

This is probably a question far too vague to really be worth answering--but then again, what is Yahoo! Answers made for? I'm just one of those many teenagers going through that frustrating phase called "adolescence" and was wondering if there was a good way to clear your mind, calm down, sort out your thoughts and problems, and just darn solve them.
