Social Science - 27 September 2007

After being here for a while, I've noticed a few guys saying that men are better than women(and some women who agree with them), so I'd like to find out why men are better than women.
Men have their good points and advantages, but women do as well and I don't think either gender is superior or better than the other.
Thoughts please?

i visualise this alot... You are standing in the middle of the arctic ocean, on a 200 metre tall ice burg... it is only about 10 square metres in area... You walk to the edge, and look to the bottom. You close your eyes, spread your arms out and start falling of the ice burg. You fall for 10 seconds, then you hit the water and go down 5 metres. You have passed out from the unbelievabley hard hit to the water. you sink to the bottom, subconsiouscly, you are happy.

How relaxing is it to think that! It would be very fun to do that... I could come up with hundreds of different scenarios! share some of yours with me if you like.

My ex boyfriend and I broke up 4 yrs ago (we were together 4 yrs). Since then, we've been in contact on and off just as good old friends. He lives in another continent. He broke it up with me cause he couldnt get his head around marriage and I felt one day Id like a child. Anyhow, thing is I was very close to his parents & even grandparents. Recently his mother was in my city for a visit and we met up a few times. She was raving at 'how glamourous I look' and took pictures. She invited me to visit them & stay in her place for a few mths. She wanted to know if Id met anyone recently. My exs 2 best mates have just settled down. A few days go she emailed meto say she had shown the photos to my ex and noe 'hes more & more interested in visiting the country I live in '. Am I imagining it or is she trying to get us married? Is this bizarre? Please opinions on this!!!

I have been told by a friend who has always worn glasses that in their dreams they have perfect vision. If a person has never seen the world what do they base their ideas on how things appear?

Anna Quindlen:
It's important to remember that feminism is no longer a group of organizations or leaders. It's the expectations that parents have for their daughters, and their sons, too. It's the way we talk about and treat one another. It's who makes the money and who makes the compromises and who makes the dinner. It's a state of mind. It's the way we live now.

Why not choose a less offensive word? "A natural response is to change the word feminist to a word with fewer stigmas attached. But inevitably the same thing will happen to that magical word. Part of the radical connotation of feminism is not due to the word, but to the action. The act of a woman standing up for herself is radical, whether she calls herself a feminist or not." - Paula Kamen, feminist

What would happen if we choose a less offensive word, to replace feminist? Do you agree with Paula Kamen's quote? Why or Why not?

"I'm not a feminist, but...
I appreciate the right to help choose my government representatives. I enjoy the option of wearing pants or shorts if I want. I'm pleased that I was allowed to learn to read and write. It can be very convenient to control how many babies I want to have. It's awfully useful to be able to open a bank account and own property in my name. I like knowing that my husband or boyfriend cannot legally beat me. It's really swell to keep the money that I earn." -poster from One Angry Girl-

Do you think this is how women who say "I'm not a feminist, but" think? Why or why not?

Ok first im going to graduate high school and not go to college....
then im going to rent my moms extra house for cheap.
then im going to save up all my money for 5 years avoiding buying anything except food.
After 5 years of working my a$$$ off..... i want to buy couple of acres of land in VERACRUZ ,mexico to grow lemon which can be exported to around the globe for good money
That will take away about half my money.

my other half will be spent on a XOXO (name of a mexican gasstation). which can give me good income just like the lemons will.

After working my a$$$$ off another 5 years and getting extra income from the lemons and the gas station.... i want to open up a hotel in Cancun or Cozumel.

Which will get me a REALLY GOOD INCOME.

so i can retire pretty much in 10-15 years and have good income to live off of with no education.

Im 15 years old. Do you think its a pretty good plan to make money?

That their presence in observing a culture might make their subjects act differently than they would if the anthropologist were not there. It seems like this would be a persistent question that anthropologists would be asked, so I'm curious as to how they answer it.

Does anyone have a professional methodological reference that I can look up?

I need it for my personal research.

Consider two countries, A and B, and suppose that both have identical physical endowments of, say, iron ore. But suppose that in country A, any profits that are made from mining the ore are subject to confiscation by the government, while on country B, there is no such risk. How does the risk of expropriation affect the economic endowment of the two nations? In which nation are people richer?
