Social Science - 20 February 2007

In reality, if you think objectively, you will discover that t ithis thing called MEMORY is an illusion from the past which really does not exist. It is a post-construct caused by neural disurbances in the human brain. It is clear to anyone who is not purblind that past as such does not exist. There is no mechanism known to human beings to recreate things that happened in the past. The mind when disturbed by actual situations tend to deconstruct a succession of episodes, which we call as remembering. Of course there are physical things like buildings and other structures to produce an effect which we call as memory. If one is able to discard and ignore previous experiences, there is no memory left nor its problems. THINK IT OVER, and remember memories are a hindrance to mental evolution, for they tie us down to something which exist no more in actual world. Have I made my point?

Okay, I'm just going to make this short and sweet. Can a person change themselves for the better if they really work on it? I know the sayings, "just be yourself," and "to thine own self be true." But what if you don't like who you really are; and for the most part neither does anybody else? Could you look deep inside yourself and change the way you think, believe and feel?
I just want to finally be happy with who I am.

I was in art class recently and a girl got out of her seat to go get something. There was a bag in her way, so she had to lift up her leg. When she did, I could see all the way up her skirt and she wasn't wearing any panties. I mean, I could clearly see her vagina, and I didn't know what to do. Is this the norm with girls (15/16) wearing skirts in school? Should I have told her?

To this day these seem to be areas of strong conservatism which can be seen in the reaction toward women and (especially) men who do not conform to their prescribed gender rols, and in the ongoing limitation on the rights of Lesbian, gay and bisexual people. Why does this obsession of maintaining the 'status quo' persist, when freeing society up around LGBTI issues does not limit the rights of anyone?

"'Most of the oilseeds are used for food here, so that puts biodiesel in an immediate disadvantage, price-wise,' said Adams, the school's director of the Faculty of Engineering Outreach Service. 'But it's an excellent fuel and burns very cleanly. And diesel engines are inherently more efficient than gas engines. It's good for our country and our farmers.'

Those sentiments were expressed a generation ago by Carter, who ran the family peanut farm before being elected Georgia's governor in 1970.

'If our country had followed the policies he laid out then, we'd be far more advanced today in terms of energy independence,' said Johnson. 'President Carter gets to see part of his vision advanced by way of a biodiesel plant in Plains, Ga.'"

BIODIESEL IN THE UNITED STATES:
- 105 biodiesel plants are in operation
- 77 are being built
- 225 million gals. were blended in 2006
- An esitmated 65 million gals. annually will be added by 3 facilities being constructed in Georgia, by 2010

I tend to leave all my revision at the weekends as most of my time is occupied during weekdays with coursework and essays, but when it comes to the weekends I do not know how time can fly so quickely, you wake up around 12 O clock after a long hard week, you eat and then you rest and before you know it, its around 5 O clock (usually when I come home from college and start doing my work). I always make a vow to myself that I will wake up early at the crack of dawn and start my revision to make up for the time I've wasted throughout the week due to my slowness which is not my fault everyone is diiferent right. Anyway, every weekend seems to just fly by weather its going out to play or going shopping or even just sitting down and watching TV. I don't want to make the same mistake as I did last year by not revising at all and wasting valuable time uneccassarerly and resulting to grades such as D's and U's. I've taken on 4 A levels this year and moved to another college I want to pass HELP!

I know this sound bad, but the past month I keep having dreams I'm cheating on my boyfriend, with my best friends ex. In every dream he either comes to my house, or I see him somewhere and we kiss, but the last dream I had we slept together and my boyfriend found out. I never even thought of him like that. I love my boyfriend, and I love my best friend. So why am I dreaming these dreams that make wake up feeling guilty?
