For my speech class, we're required to pick a topic related to our course for our informative speech. My course is Psychology and I've decided to write my 5 minute speech based on the concept of encoding specificity. I have an idea of how I want it to start, but then.. that's all I have. Any help will be gratefully accepted.

Or, if you think of any other topic worth discussing, let me know? HEEEELP.

Do You think that You could name the anatomical organs and physiological components (both internal and external), as well as to list Their individual etiology and biological functions without recourse to a text book? The Masculine Reproductive System is far more complex and complicated than most people imagine. I was recently surprisedto discover the number of educated contributors to Answers who do not know enough about this subject to justify Their views and opinions with regards "Male Sexuality and Masculinity".
Every Woman should be able to pass this simple test. Can You?

Afterall, we're not talking about an abortion here, this is HIS child as well and he should restrict her from drinking alcohol...(i'm not talking about a small glass of wine once in a blue moon).

Hey, I need some advice. Church camp is right around the corner, in one month, and since I am not very social and tend to spend my spare time on the computer, I need some help to overcome my anti-socialness and have longer conversations. I'm going to be spending a week with other Christains. Another problem is I don't know what to talk about, because everything I do isn't very christain, like playing violent computer games and always arguing with my family or smokin it up with my brother. What can I do to stop being so anti-social and what kinds of things could I talk about? I sometimes get real nervous when I'm talking and stutter when someone puts me on the spot. HELP PLEASE!!!

I mean, your mind is an extremely powerful tool to manipulate your body. It can bolster your immune defense by simply thinking positive (or slow it drastically by thinking negative and giving into despair when ill), controlling fears, and so on. Psychologists use a vareity of methods to help patients end phobias. I'm sure there's ways of changing your sexual perception as well. Take for instance someone who wishes to end a habit of drinking sodas. Once or twice a day, this person will stop what they are doing, and vividly imagine a picture in their mind. In the imagery, the person places the bottle to their lips, about to take a drink. Suddenly, hundreds of roaches swarm out of the bottle and enter the mouth, feelers and legs moving rapidly. Surpisingly, I've heard of people using this technique to quit certain habits. You simply re-train your brain to think differently about a particular subject. I have to admit that recently I've thought less and less about the same sex.

I had this dream, maybe 3-4 years ago. I had cut out my own heart, so I could "repair" it, like it was some clockwork machine. I couldn't fix it, though, so I got frustrated and threw it against the wall, and it slid down in a bloody mess. Then I went out for a walk, leaving my heart on the floor.
While walking, however, I realized I needed it, so I went back to get it and put it back where it belonged. Unfortunately when I returned to my room, someone had taken it. It was gone. So I sat down and then everything went black.

Can someone interpret this?

How do you deal with someone who you know you might bump into and were merely acquainted-but not sure how the person feels about you-you think they don't like for reasons that sound ligit, if out of no where you bump into them, do you just act like nothing happened and even call them out by their name or do you pretend they are not there?..this person knows I know their name and knows me-but do I act naive?..thanks.

I'm walking on water, ahead of me was a white clothed figger. So I ran on the water towards him. As I was aproching him I looked down in the water and around me people were swimming away from him afraid. Then I ran and walked beside him on water, Then I looked at the white clothed mans face, and I saw the real face of Jesus. I said Jesus your are in my Dreams. I went to hold his hand, but he would not hold it. I was like a child to hold his hand, so I felt no real hard felings a little sad saying it would be wierd to hold it anyway. A Evil spirit spoke threw him like anouther spirit and said at least u understand. Jesus was looking into the sky and never looked at me or talked.I was examining him as he walked determind in faith. It was like there were 2 spirit's one Jesus and one not. Then sortly after Jesus turned into a Fowl looking man with very ugly teeth and we were going down a elevator. The elevator stoped, He ran out and hung onto 2 woman, like he was in control and confedent.

The other day I was istalling equipment at a walmart that was being remodeled.There was a girl that worked at walmart that was assigned to make sure merchandise wasnt being brought over to the side of the store that was being worked on .As I walked by ,seeing that her job was probably very boring, I jokingly commented on her job. She laughed.But now every time I walk by I feel compelled to say something funny but I have nothing to say.It gets kind of awkward.I can tell she feels compelled to be polite and say something too.This happens to me alot.

I'm a single woman without children who recently turned 40. I had no idea that I would be feeling such loss over doors that have closed, even the unrealistic "I want to be rich and famous!" kind. I realize that I am still young, life isn't over and anything could happen, but I guess I'm sad that I didn't turn out to be "special."
My accomplishments include a solid career and I earn enough to pay my bills...not exactly the stuff of novels.

This must be my mid-life crisis. For those who have been through it, what happens next? How do you reconcile the feelings of disappointment?
