Social Science - 18 May 2007

I was thinking as I was driving into work today that everything does happen for the better.

I was upset with my brother that he did not call me while my parents were overseas for 12 days. I am glad though because every time we talk, he tells me that I am bipolar which I am not.

I was thinking that I did not get a permanent job that I applied for. It was for the better because I probably would not have been happy there anyway. The company was too small and had no defined processes and procedures. I work in Accounting.

I don't know about my daughter having to see my husband and I get divorced. I guess she has become stronger and can handle herself in any situtation. She is not overprotected and lazy like my co-worker's daughter who is 12 years old and still needs someone to feed, bathe and sleep next to her at night.

Does anyone feel this in their life?

does it just depend which side you're on... or whether you want it to happen?

I have met a few people in my life that are prejudice of their own kind. Some are whites that can't stand to be around other whites. In Minnesota there was a Native American kid that joined a Neo-Nazi group before shooting his fellow Native American students. The cases I've seen before came from caring families and were well treated by them. When I've asked this before, I was called a Nazi. Truely, not having any race related prejudice personally, I am having an even harder time understanding this. I also want to use it as a component to the bad guy in a book I'm writing.

I'm just curious, if they do not get visual input if their visual cortex is less developed than someone who gets direct visual input?

I'm wondering because we process a lot of information all at once through our vision, and I would guess that imagined visuals are less taxing to it. So blind people having only imagined visuals should have a less taxed visual cortex, so it wouldn't need to be overly developed. Is this right or wrong?

Do they end up compensating by having even better imagined visuals because their visual cortex still functions at full capacity no matter what?

By imagined visuals I mean visualizations using the mind.

Thanks so much in advance.
