this is my assigment question (urgent)..hope u can give me the detail answer:
question :
Although we tend to condemn “ phoniness”(虚假), we also seem to want it. This is to say, we like to be conned or “ smooth talked “. We are also aware of the xtent to which we feel impelled at times to “ put on an act “. Goffman rises the question of the place of phoniness in social relations and refuses to permit us to dismiss it as an easy issue by saying that phoniness is bad and that we do not want anything to do with it. How do we differentiate the phony from the sincere act ? more important, to what extent has “ phoniness” become an important part of modern Malaysian society?

can help me to find:

1)How to diffentiate sincere act and phoniness.

2)the example for sincere act and phoniness..


3) conclusion part
- phoniness is good or bad behavior?

For example, would a $20,000 loan increase the money supply by that amount or would it be more than $20,000 due to a money multiplier (like 1/required reserve ratio)?

i had a friend who was jealous of someone. then she said that "everything evens out in the end" she went on to tell a story about a woman who had everything in life- a big home, a wonderful husband, two lovely children, and great beauty. but then she died. of instestinal cancer at 40. and my old friend says, "everything evens out in the end." basically, she means to say some people who have it all will end up with nothing. and people who have nothing end up with more. so people basically get their little lot in life. i thought that was a terribly mean thing to think about people. what do you think? also, do you think it is true that everything evens out in the end?

Or will it level off? But then, that doesn't take into account the people who eventually marry (better late than never) or children given up for adoption. Also, statisticians are often dirty liars. And...what does that mean? Are illegitmacy rates higher in bigger cities with more people which happen to contribute the percentage more? Because where I come from way less than 4 out of ten children are illegitimate. All the same, this concerns me a bit. I just don't want our country to become like certain European countries which are basically Clockwork Orange come to life. We should learn from other people's mistakes.

Yeah lets say you become bored of life, and instead of taking the horrific, painfull, and all so final way out, a person had the option of lets say litterally sleeping your life away. Then lets say arrive at the finish line, from the persons perspective and live out their final days, with out all of life's little drama's ups and downs. This kinda would be pathetic and alot like cheating on a test but would you take the option?

Why is it that most of the people that I have encountered from that part of the world do not see African Americans as Black. As a visiter in Egypt I have constantly been told that I am not black, I am Arab or Iranian. Is this simply a problem that I have encountered or are African Americans viewed by the Africa and the Middle East as being something other than black. Maybe this issue has something to do with the fact that I am light brown skin, but then again so are just about over half of the population of African Americans; most of my family are either peacan brown or light brown. It is even worst when I have visited certian parts of kenya, some even call me an American white man. I REALLY WANTED TO KNOW HOW IN THE WORLD CAN THEY COME UP WITH THAT CONCEPT BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT ME THAT LOOKS WHITE!!!!!!!!

I'm short tempered, but I'm ok with my friends. What I don't understand is that I'm so much easier to get angry and impatient with people who are really close to me, like my parents and my boyfriend, even though I love them more than anybody else.

2. What might prevent your agency from reaching its goals?
3. What made you want to become a social worker?
4. Do you get emotionally attached to the people you srve?
5. How long have you been a social worker?
6. Are there ever times you feel like quitting?
Thank you!

that they have forgotten how to do nice things for someone else without getting anything in return?

Even all you religious believer's out there. Do you only believe in God and do nice by others only so you can go to heaven?

Is that or is that not personal gain?

I mean, have we all become so dogmatically Politically Correct that we no longer recognize good satire. Have any of your answers fell on not only deaf ears, but plebian mind sets? Is there no give and take in honest communication ? Some of these questions are so inane they beggar description. First Ammendment? Eh?
Some of these tender, precious minds that get all offended when someone gives an answer to thier(mostly) ridiculously lousy questions must do so just so they can narc on their more hip brethren/ sisters, etc. We called them tattletales when I was a child. I have a few choice names for them now but it's doubtful they'll ever hear them since I'm sure I'd be censored again.
Bunch of wadded pantie wearing , socially dysfunctional, na-na-na-na giberring poltroons is what they are.
Maybe you think I'm over reacting, but wait till it happens to you a few times. And then there's never any reply to your own protests.
There, I've vented. Blessed relief.

They say 80% of body heat excapes from the head..well I go out without a hat on often, bundled up of course....So..

If I just put a hat on and then go out butt-as* naked...according to this, I should be warmer, because I'm now conserving more of my body heat..

What do you think..?
