Social Science - 15 April 2007

I've always had a thing about being clean, but I have noticed symptoms that I fear may be OCD. Like the other day after showering at night, I forgot to put on deodorant. I got up in the morning extremely irritated and felt the urge to wash my bedsheets and blankets. Maybe I just hate having dirty sheets - I don't know.

Does anyone know any unique rituals or rites of passage of other cultures or a relgion that people are unfamiliar with? I have a project and I'm stumped. Heres what it is in her words:

Research and write about a ritual (or rite of passage) in another culture. The topic needs to be something other than what we already know. Stay away from Catholic rituals or anything else common to the US. (Sweet 16, graduation, marriage) We are familiar with these traditions.

I just want to inform myself....How do you deal or cope or approach a rape victim? What do you do and how do you talk to her? I mean especially when the victim knows that you are aware of everything; the rape and all. Do you evade the subject completely, do you try to talk about it? Because some persons don't like it when we trod carefully around them when they went thru a traumatic experience. And also, when you disover someone has been raped...I mean on the crime scene itself, moments or some time after it happened what do we do? How do we approach the person, what do we do? What are the appropriate words and actions? Please it there is anyone who works or who is familiar in this kind of situations, please answer. Thanks

All I see is women in baggy sweats and hair back in a ponytail, no makeup and no smile. What happened to the classy woman that cared about how she looks?

Is it as long as it actually seems or does the brain deal wth it in a matter of seconds?
