Social Science - 13 October 2007

hi i am doing piece of coursework and need to link this in, basically i am looking for links e.g. - in philosophy - pyscology or other area of teaching whereby it is looking/concerned with self gain at cost of others (there must be some long name for a way of thinking whereby people are primarily self interested?) - charity begins at home etc. any help with links to other academic areas would be greatly appreciated.

cheers - hope you understand my question as it was hard to get across.

I partied too much in my past 3 years to forget about the pain of divorce. I put myself in some short relationships ( which burned me most of the times), and spent way too much money. I want to move on and be proud of myself. In the past few years, although my bosses praised me on my good work, I hate myself being late at work and taking many days off. Have not saved money properly although I know it is not good to keep going on like this. Even in love affairs, I seem to fall for someone so easily, and infatuated from people from internet. I still have social life with people, but it seems as if i am missing western country where i spent 10yrs, and having difficulty to settle back in japan. What is the best thing to do? Please advise me to regain self-respect and independence.

I had this weird dream last night that I looked up and there were all these really huge holes in my ceiling and a huge crack going from one end of the house to the other. The holes were about the size of basketballs and you could see the attic when you looked through them. It was really weird and I just wanted to know if anyone knows what that means or symbolizes. Thank you.

"Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's okay to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you
What it feels like for a girl"

- the cement garden

do you agree with it?

i interviewed a 50 elementary students on what they would do if they woke up the opposite sex. they girls typically felt they would have more freedom and abilities, but the boys rarely had anything positive to say. some even say they would kill themselves.

I normally don’t have any dreams...but the other day I had one that I cant figure out…..I have tried searching those dream web sites but nothing seems to make sense…so I am hoping that you guys can help me out…

Little background first….one of my brothers just recently passed away….about 4 weeks ago he was the youngest of my 4 brothers. I was supposed to donate my kidney to him and we were in the process of getting that arranged when he had a heart attack and had to undergo bypass surgery on his heart. He passed away in his sleep 4 days after he was released from hospital.

I have had two dreams about him lately …

the first was with his wife and one of his sons and my niece, myself and our mom we were all traveling somewhere and he was in the second row seat and I was in the last ….he was playing with his daughter and everyone seemed happy……The other dream is all most the same but this time our 3 cats are in the dream…
Any one have an idea….I sure would appreciate it

I just saw a question about women feeling entitled to a relationship following sex. I happen to disagree; I don't think it's necessarily the woman who always wants more.

What's your opinion? Can women have a sexual relationship without needing him to be committed and exclusive? Can men handle such relationships, if she doesn't wish to be committed? Personal experiences, stories are welcome.

I had a dream where my brother dipped a bird in honey and ate it alive

I've had a dream where I went inside bread and it looked like the insides of someone's lungs. Part of the dream was I had to fix someone by going inside them so I went into the bread and had to convince them to eat it which I have no idea how I could do that

One dream there was a pipe on the ceiling with a newspaper on it and I was up there humping it. I would look into the newspaper and see through one of the pictures as though it was a portal into another world

I had recurring dreams of this lobster face guy who was rumored to be so ugly that you die if you look at it.

I had a dream where I was in a beehive and all of the bees ended up looking like static on a TV

I have had so many weird dreams, some of them very long and random.. Let me hear yours

I've asked alot of questions tonight (I know, and I need to go to bed :-) and there always seems to be a few people who, it seems, totally skip the question, distort it into their own little negitive fantasy question and give me some horrible comment!
Or they read the question and add their own everyday problems and answer my question and I have NO CLUE what they're even talking about!!!!
This happening to anyone else? I know it is! What is WRONG with people?

I had this dream that my dog got out of the fence and ran up to the end of the road. I followed her when I got to the end of the road I saw my dog howling at the night sky. When i looked to the sky i noticed a message in the stars reading THE END IS NEAR.

What does that mean?
