A college-going city girl is disinterested in her studies with a general apathy towards people at home and outside. She lacks confidence, enthusiasm and cheer. What would be the effect of her behavior on her family members, friends and teachers?

Such as :

-men hold doors open
-"ladies first"
-men pay the tab (usually)
-never hit a girl

and etc. I believe in equal rights and a few of the "rules" i just mentioned, but woman should appreciate all rights they already have.

Most of the scientist try to prove that people have poewrs and try to take away it. But why do they do it? People, like me are gifted okay and noone wants theyre powers to be taken. Why are the so dumb?

I was reading through some psychology articles (personality patterns etc) and stumbled across one that sounded exactly like my ex boyfriend. I anonymously emailed it to him this is what i wrote:
RE: its a bit long(the article), but it might be of some help, or at least an insightful read
and the email message was: "this isn't an attack on you.."
I also attached the article. I honestly, sincerely only meant to help, but now i'm worried that i did the wrong thing. What do you think?

I have this as an economics tutorial question. I've already looked online and through all my textbooks and found nothing. I just need a few lines to explain this question:

Assume that the domestic country operates under a fixed exchange rate regime, and capital is completely mobile. Explain the effect on the domestic economy of an increase in foreign income, beginning from a point of general equilibrium, using the IS-LM-BOP framework.

Thanks!

or does a person not change, but evolve into what he/she was in the beginning?
This woman i know, from an ultra-conservative family, who seemed to condemn even the thought of divorce, divorced because she had an affair with a married man. From being the critic of others' values, she won't mind now being called the mistress
Was she like that from the beginning or can an event completely change our values, like integrity?

The night before April 16th, my mom had a horrible nightmare-type-of dream about people on a ship. But they were going in the opposite direction of where my mom was...and they were screaming for her to help them, for her to do anything to get them off the boat. There were more details, but they're too cruel to describe. My mom was so shocked and horrified by this dream that she awoke early in the morning and she couldn't go back to sleep. She had a strong feeling that something was wrong, and since she had nothing else to do, she turned on the early-morning TV news. This was when she found out about the Virginia Tech shooting. By the way, my mom went to Virginia Tech for college. Is there a connection?

but then 6-7 months later, they come true, but not in the way I expected them to. What does it mean to have dreams that come true? Thanks. ;]]
