Social Science - 28 March 2007

I'm doing a project for school, and it includes telling the race ratio of a country in South America. Part of the ratio is Black/Malutto. I seem to have an unforunate tendicy to use scottish names, having a scottish mother. I tend to call blacks ******. Not in a condesending way, but some people at my school think that it is racist-The boy is from CA. I just want to know if the majority agrees. Again, I don't mean in a condesending way. I don't want opinion, please. I would like to know if this is considered racist. I use the spanish term for 'black'. So what?
Thanks!

You asked the damn question, and we are all answering it. I hate it when people criticize the answer you give. It's just completely prick-ish. Some people need to grow up. Don't you hate rude people? :] haha

now that the law has changed t o allow under sixteens into the pub at certain times and over 13's are allowed unsupervised on the computers at the library and given that they have all the rights and no responsibilities does it make you feel oppressed? a friend of mine was in the gents' toilet and was sitting drunkenly on the toilet when a couple of unsupervised kids were looking under the door and I am being checked by a couple of black teen girls in the library because I made the mistake of remarking that they were falling up on top of me
shouldn't the spawn of satan go back to being seen and not heard?

Seriously, I am pretty open minded when it comes to gay people, but I cannot fathom why on earth anyone would want to change their sex. What on earth motivates these people to risk their lives over this?

isn't it funny that many of times when we come in a problem, we are so quick to give advice, that when the same problem comes our way we feel like the world will fall apart?

i cannot take it when thigs are not in order, i cant sleep if my room is messy i share a room with my sister and she just throw her things around and leave rubbish everywhere! if i tell her to clean up she just puts everything behind her blanket when making the bed, my mom is working so shes not home everyday, same for my dad, whenever im staying at home, i spend load of time cleaning up after their trash, no one cleans up the dishes (maybe because they rely on me to do it) no one takes out the trash, no one vaccums the carpet, i do everything! and im only 17! most of the time im in the mood to clean up and i spend time to clean up but sometimes when i start i just never seem to stop until i notice its 11pm and i have to go to bed. i enjoy cleaning but when it gets too much i just start to cry but i cant stop. i cant do the things i enjoy and it just makes me feel bad, but i cant stop because if i do i wont be able to think straight, sleep, im just in a bad mood, whats wrong with me?

I don't really know what to call this.
I have these dreams about things that will happen in the future.I remember them and then...they do.
It's sort of like deja vu but I remember them.
Example the other day I saw my friend Jessica saying something about her woodworking project and she said the extact phrase.Other examples include me standing in fornt of a friends door and her mother answering it with their cat in her hands. I just had a dream about my teacher yelling at the class in homeroom.It hasn't happened yet.Help?

I need some ideas for my coursework, i will play a violent clip to a group of people and some will recieve a standard questionnaire while the others will have leading questions.

Title: Accuracy of Eye Witness Testimony
Do leading questions have an effect on the accuracy of Eyewitness Testimony?


Identify the aim of the research and state the experimental hypothesis
The aim of the experiment is to find out whether Eye Witness Testimonies are reliable and to see whether leading questions can have an effect or change an individual’s opinion on the incident.

anyone got ideas for the design of questionnaire or any other ideas.

I worry. I get anxious. Usually about my wife and my relationship with her. Sometimes I cling to her and can be smothering. Other times I find myself trying to manipulate her by being"cool" and trying to do reverse psychology. I really really love her and just want to be secure in her love for me.

im my dream my first love's sibling was talking to me after the fact that in real life me and her had a falling out. My ex/1st love was in the picture and he had changed and we were talking, and going on as usual before the nasty relationship. I showed his sibling the new job I had where I was in a black and white cute (not prison like) outfit. We were standing around the pool, at the new job, I think I was a waitress, the pool water was clear. Her and I were talking like nothing had happened. The colors were vivid and everything thing was mostly white.

Does this have any meaning?

Whenever I have a pleasant dream..my brother shows up in it. Whenever my brother shows up in my dreams, I know I'm gonna die.
I always die in my dreams protecting him and risking my life for him.

I like being a woman and I don't want the same rights as men. I'm happy like that. I still want them to so the hard, heavy work. I don't think women are better than men or men are better than women. What do you think about feminist? Why are they always trying to prove women can do the same things men can? Can you, woman, do 12 hours of heavy construction work? I don't think so...
