how does society contribute to “blue collar” crime? Give examples of cause and effect. Use sociological concepts in your answer

I personnally think that if we have different currencies at this time that there's world wide trade, some countries will become richer and others poorer for there's no equity of resources in all parts of the world.
If you think yes or no, please give me your reasons.
Thanks.

what would life be like if you could live with a silent and not interfering audience watching all your sayings and deeds in real life, do you think the world would be better or worse ?
i noticed that human beings become angels before an audience !

Before I ask, let me tell you that I guarantee I do not have a mental disorder or illness, learning disability or any of the kind. This question probably doesn't have anything to do with that. And please, I need a solution to the problem more than the cause.

I often feel like I cannot understand what's going on around me, though I really really can. I just think that I can't and that is what makes it seem so real. I only feel like this when I think about it, the belief that I can't think or understand properly. It's really confusing, right?

Here's my version:

Once when I had a really bad day, and I was studying, I was too unhappy to study. After that, I made myself believe that I could not study properly and from there it went to believing that I could not think or understand properly. I believe that I have made myself believe that I cannot think or understand what's going on around me properly, though I really can. Now I feel like I'm stuck in a shell. How do I reverse this

I have had some nasty stuff done to me over the years - people can be SO selfish and mean, can't they?

Now, biding my time and saying nothing and waiting patiently, I have enough solid evidence to get my own back on all these nasty critters, but I don't.

I believe in Karma and don't interfere and I believe what comes around goes around and that they will get theirs without my intervention.

Do you think I am right, or just a coward?

I've been taking an incresing notice to this over the past few years. Is this the result of living in a very liberal, anti-white society (I'm referring to the culture in the USA).

With the ever growing statistics of black on white violence, are whites simply just afraid to fight back? Is America going to become the next South Africa? America's white population is currently at 67%.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ExvfnkeLhY

It seems that vicious black on white violence is constantly being overlooked, and in the rare cases when it is acknowledged, its somehow justified or seen as no big deal. No matter how openly racist or violently hateful they are, there is never any condemnation of their actions. Hollywood, The media and other institutions of the like always portray blacks as either being the victims or glamorized sexual icons or intellectual etc....a huge disparity with the reality of society.

And by the way, I'm not white, but still concerned.

The lens moves forward, doesn't it? But then, why is the image magnified 10 times by such a small change in distance?

Do you think some things are ok for others but not good enough for you? Like in terms of achievements or appearance or whatever? I hope that kinda makes sense. Just wondering, any imput is welcome.

When we're asleep, we either see darkness or we dream. Whatever the case, it feels like we wake up a few minutes later and hours have passed. Why is that?

i consider myself to be a very fun person. i'm always laughing it up with my friends, and i'm usually the life of the party... but whenever my friends decide to throw men into the mix, i totally freeze up. i become anti-social, i won't talk to anyone except my friends, and i just kind of fade into the back ground until no one notices me, then i reappear when the guys leave... my friends notice it, i notice it... and i think the guys do to... i love to be with my friends but i hate to be around guys... what the hell is wrong with me?

I hate writing essays, and I've had Word open since I woke up at 9AM. I keep getting distracted, and end up walking around the house. It's now 1AM, and I've got two paragraphs. How do I quit procrastinating?

Ok, Im soon to get married to a verrrrry special girl, and it wasn't easy for me to get her. Anyways, we are both virgins (and yes, im sure).

I made a commitment to myself and my mom that I will be the best husband in the world.

How do I live up to that name? the girl is special enough for me do do anything for her (so motivation to please her should be ok)

As a kid, I used to get angry fast, but I also made a commitment to control that, and Im doing pretty good so far. any advice for that?

How do I make her feel like a princess or the most special girl in the world (living in heaven on earth), to a point where she wouldn't want to take her hands off of me.

question applies for in the bedroom and outside the bedroom

thanks

I am on a forum trying to get help for various sleep related disorders (primarily sleepapnea and periodic limb disorder)that have lead to many syptoms like depession and about 15 other things

When I went to the site about two weeks ago for the first time and was contemp[lating suicide (I am OK now) due to this and a number of other things, people were helpful. I started a thred about people sharing what they have learned from alternative and natural therapies that people might want to research, try, or use to compliment their treatment.

I immediately started getting attacked but about 5 people, When they started criticising my intelligence, spelling, character traits and tons of things in a very cruel and mean way, I stuck up for myself and now they seem madder than ever in their vigilence to attack me.

I eventually told them I was very vulnerable, dealing with a lot of personal problems, crying from their posts,. and essentially begging them to stop and if they didn't

i have a friend and she has a friend who is a feminist but not a radical feminist. but my friend said that she is more of the traditional type of woman. she likes taking care of her kids at home and she likes being a stay at home wife. and her friend is always cutting her down for complying to the male agenda. and her friend says that she should break free from a male run society and work and be able to do anything a man does.

but my friend feels that she can be independent and trong by just being a stay at home mom. and i dont think she should be ashamed of it. either way if she decides to work or take care of her kids i think she shouldnt have to be a certain way out of spite.

(her friend is known to try and start fist fights with men and when the men say they wont fight her she then gos and says "why are you afraid that a strong woman is standing up against you")

what do you think?

I'm an 18.5 year old high school graduate although I feel like I cheated my way through high school because I was put into special education classes for various reasons. Now I have a part-time job with good pay but I'm afraid to go to college because I feel as if I'm not educated enough. I also have a severe social anxiety disorder which conflicts with my daily life so it's really difficult for me to even hold my job right now. I'm not looking for any sort of pity, but I feel like I totally screwed up my whole life. I just got my driver's license a month ago and I'm still reluctant to drive because I feel like I'll make a dumb mistake and get myself or somebody else killed yet being driven around by your younger sister doesn't give you good self-esteem. It's not how I wanted to live my life at this age. I don't know how I can fix this. Maybe I'm not smart enough to know. To top it off, I'm very unattractive and I'm gay. Am I lost cause? Should I just give up?
