I was always dependant on someone else to make my bed, do the dishes, do my laundry, and worst of all for my sense of self. It is easy to feel great when someone is telling you every five seconds how wonderful you are. Now it is so difficult to find my own voice. But then i'll be happier because my self-confidence will be my own! However, its not perfect...I'm not whole, I depend on people for my self-worth just like I depended on my family.
Other than than I have a great Career that I love and great friends although I don't get to see them that much.
Can you please offer me some advice. I greatly appreciate your help :)

Obviously our genes play a big part in our intellect, but without environmental stimulus we don't realize the potential of our brains.

I used to think it was 80% genes and 20% environment, but since I stopped hanging out with the dumb freinds from high school, I feel like my intelligence has improved dramatically. I've become more curious and have started to ask questions about the world that I never thought of asking before. Now I start to wonder how much more intelligent I could be if I sorround myself with the powerful minds.

My study is an observation to discover whether or not there are gender differences in who people will sit next to if given a choice - so for example will a male sit next to another male, etc. I need a study to back this up, and I've spent literally hours looking it up and found nothing - please help!

feminism is the one that got you laws against rape. Feminism is the one that gave you the right to vote. Feminism is the thing that allowed you to get maternal leave for jobs. feminism allowed you to be pregnant on a job because back in the day you could get fired fot getting pregnant on the job. feminism is the one that protected you from sexual harassment and guaranteed EQUAL pay. Feminism was that person who told you you could play with the boys. Feminism is the one who expressed the voices of women to be heard so WHY ARE SOME WOMEN AGAINST FEMINISM?

I am NOT talking about RADICAL FEMINISM. Leaning too far to the left or right is bad.

think about it, we have barely been around as a species for a seconds when you consider how old life is on this planet.

Are we really superior to sharks whose species can be measured in the millions?

Or crocodillians of which I can say the same?

cockaroaches?

Are we really superior to these life forms when they have been more successfull at life long before us, and likely long after we become extinct?

Is the ability to reason and invent and use tools to the degree that we can really that important when it is a trait that can and likely will cause our own destruction?

I am currently reading "A Cook's Tour" by Anthony Bourdain for my English class. I need to write a 2-4 page essay answering the Question: What was Bourdain's primary motivation for traveling around the world and doing his tv show?

Most of the people in my class say that his motivation was to find the perfect meal or for the experience...but a part of me thinks that the reason he did it was to gain fame and fortune. The only problem that I have is that I do not know how to support this with textual evidence from the book.

In this essay I need to have at least 6 paragraphs. The first 2 have to be an intro the next 3 have to be supporting reason why I think he went on this tour and then the last is the conclusion.

I do not know what my 3 supporting paragraphs should be about because I dont have any evidence as to why i think he did this for fame. If anyone has read this book and can give me a reason as to why Bourdain went on the tour then that would be greatly appreciated

I want to know if depression is biological, or in the head so to speak, if it is biological then maybe I need a chemical to redress the balance

This person is female; manipuates situations for her own benefit; whatever that is is unclear, lives in public housing, has no job and makes excuses for not getting one, lives off of a family member; tells lies and is very adept a manipulating a few people to feel sorry for her. I know this person doesn't like me at all because I believe she knows that I see right through this, although she's very nice to my face. This is a family situation so it's not like I can just have nothing to do with her; I have to deal with her on occasion.
