Social Science - 24 October 2007

Marx said that division of labor, exploitation and surplus value creates a situation when man is alienated from his true self. He has to identify with his profession or vocation and forget about what he really wants. This creates intense conflict in his mind. Is n't his the reason for many psychopathic (not nuerological) conditions today? We've rarely heard about depression and anxiety in the writings from the pre-capitalistic world.

What do you think?

detect sexism or bias each and every case would have to be analyzed. Why cant they adopt the same mentality to the professional world ? When they see only 20% female in position X or field X there is no talking of case by case basis, of a sudden a raising of the female quota is asked for, not matter how and sexism automatically assumed.

Whenever I get angry, I do a good job of controlling myself. I hold it for about 2-5 minutes, feel like I am over it , then just when I think I am okay, somebody says something or somebody comes up to me and then I burst.

I've tried walking away, I've tried staying in my room, but usually its my Mom that walks up to me or convinces me to spend time with the very person I need time away from. Or sometimes it is my Mom that belittles or patronizes me in front of people that I like. And she just does it out of nowhere, giving me no time to prepare for it. I can't stand it. I control myself, control myself, hold my breath, then just when its like almost over, and I think I've made it through the situation, I burst in the last 20 seconds or so.

Can somebody please give me some anger management strategies? Well actually I do a good job when I am dealing with people other than my family. Its only when I am with my family members, ( at least one of them ) that I can't deal with it.

Can you set an alarm to wake you up at a certain amount of time so that you never reach the REM stage? It is the only way that I can deal with the dreams I have, not really nightmares, just being with people in ,my past that I am not supposed to think of when I'm awake. Sometimes they are more real to me than reality because it feels like I spend more time interacting with them than the people I know now...anmd it is affecting me in several negative ways, but I can't seem to just "forget" the dreams or "shake them off"

I really want to beat the crap out of someone, but I don't think I will, what are some ways to release this anger?

A friend and I want to settle a bet on who is crazier. We were figuring we could both take the same basic psych eval, but he was nervous about it going on some sort of record.

All I want to know is,
Does it generally go on some sort of record?
If so, is it possible for it NOT to?

I try SO hard to get good grades in school. My dream has always been to go to a prestigious university, but my grades aren't up to their standards. In fact, I'm struggling so much in school right now, the work load is just way too much, and I feel like I can't keep up. My classmates seem to be doing just fine, though. My GPA is going down and reaching a point where it shouldn't be.
And...I've been getting three hours of sleep each night studying...I just want to do well--but can't. =[

I'm feeling very depressed--While I don't exactly WANT to kill myself, I keep getting thoughts about suicide.
I don't know what to do?
