Social Science - 28 October 2007

Arguably, the world is not black and white. It's different shades of grey. Some darker, some lighter. No one can really dictate whats right and whats wrong, good or bad. . . ARGUABLY! I myself often wonder how not black and white the world is. I feel some use that as an excuse to suite to their agenda. I'm sure we all do that from time to time.

But my question is. Does anyone feel the world is more black and white then we think? Are the lines a little more solid then we wanna realize? Now I know once again, most are probably gonna NO. Which is fare. It probably isn't really that black and white.But sometimes, with the way things things look. I often wonder. When does grey area need to go away?

Thoughts?

Is it Darwinism, or is it because it gets in the way of being trashy, shameless and cold-hearted? Femininity really doesn't mean being weak or subservient, does it? (I think not.)

be the one to chase the mice out of the house and catch the spiders and kill the cockroaches.... and get out of bed in the middle of the night when a branch brushes against the window? Surely equal rights means I should be able to stay snuggled in bed from time to time while she chases the mouse with a broom!

What do you think about this?

(Oh yeah.. this one time there was a red bellied black snake in the garage.. and she locked me in there with it so it wouldn't get in the house ~ do you think she increased my insurance policy for a reason?)

Procrastination has ruined my life in so many ways. I'll be up front about it - according to teachers and tests I am supposedly intelligent but my gpa last year, in 9th grade, was 1.7, unbelievably horrible and I don't know whether I'll ever get into a good college or anything.

But it's for one reason: procrastination leading to missing assignments. It's not as simple as avoiding it - I mentally can't convince myself to start, it's impossible for me. Either I won't start or I'll fear it will be horrible if its something like writing, so I don't do it until I have the right mindset, and the mindset never comes.

I'm in 10th grade now, I don't want it to eat away my life, how can I help.

And please don't say 'make a list' because I do that and I get wrapped up in all the details of it that I never start the assignment. And 'just do it instead of going on this site' doesn't work either. I can't, I don't know how to explain it.

If someone knows what I mean and can help, thank you.

Does the child have any benefits of having an older parent? Or is the child stigmatized for having parents that are older than their friends parents?

I was standing at my grandmother house in the porch. It was night and I was staring at the sky when I saw the moon it wasn't full moon but it had a really strong orange colour.
I was looking at the moon and she was coming closer.
SHe came very very close and didn't had the form of the moon anymore but the form of a diamond sorrounded by flames.
It was sth really special , I don't know how to describe it.

This has to do with drinks of all kinds. This isn't a simple question either. 1 liter PET vs 12 12oz cans.

Considering the actual economic value of the capitol used to produce bottles and cans, the environmental harm caused by creating a new bottle or can, and considering this item will be recycled, which is a better actual value? Price has no object here, just actual value.

This question is concerning the cost of oil vs metal, energy used for creation and recycling. That added with the environmental cost of refining that item into its final character plus the environmental cost of extracting those. Obviously oil is more scarce of a resource and is recycled far less in comparison to aluminum. Plus the fact oil is now at an all time high for cost per barrel.

Don't tell me recycling is good or give me some half answer. This is a very complicated question, I just hope there are some environmental economists out there.

Doesn't that seem kind of contradictory?

"You'll do great Ted, now get out there and break a leg."

"What? Why would I do that?! Is the stage dangerous? I shouldn't do this, I don;t have insurance..."

It seems to me that saying 'break a leg could give someone a full fledged panic attack.

Don't you think it is absurd? One more stone to put in front of our feet?

Someone is too young for a certain job. Just seven years later this same person is too old for that same job (story told by a friend).

Again, why age matters so much?

What about our accomplishments as humans?

Why we keep getting categorized in little boxes: race, religion, gender, ideologies and age?

Does this bothers you as much as it bothers me?

I know that dramamine is a bit more intense then coricidin (DXM)
but i would like to know who thinks which is more fun, or safe.
dramamine is more of a trip than acid, and coricidin is kind of like a weird messed up state.

dramamine is a motion sickness pill, and coricidin is a cough suppressant

there are some groups who believe in equal parenting (despite history of DV), false allegations of rape and DV and punishment of women (although men also make false claims against women); attack DV services (that would also help men).

Do they seek equality with a vengeance?

xyonline:

The fathers’ rights movement will continue to seek an equality concerned with fathers’ ‘rights’ and status rather than the actual care of children (Rhoades, p. 156). The fathers’ rights movement will continue to pursue ‘equality with a vengeance’ (Rhoades, 2000, p. 155). It prioritises formal principles of equality over positive parenting and the well-being of women and children, conflates children’s welfare with parental equality and ignores actual caregiving divisions of labour. Its advocates will persist in trying to re-establish paternal authority and fathers’ decision-making related to their children’s and ex-partners’ lives (Bertoia & Drakich, 1993; Cornell, 1998,; Stacey, 1998,

Lets say you made goals for yourself. But then, you get side tracked with all the crap in your life. Then you have second thoughts about it because the goals are hard to attain and you just had a major setback. How do you keep on with your goals even if you lost the desire because you have no other options?

A few years ago, I was socially active and happy.

Then, I gradually became anti-social. I stopped leaving my
house, contacting friends, and most importantly- having fun.

I'm tired of myself. I want to change.

Do you know how I can change my personality?
Become a different person? Be like the people I admire?
Be social again? Be happy?

Just curious to see if the definition of "depression" is universal. I have a relative that goes into a catatonic state, but some people who have depression just cry. Sometimes I cry, is that depression?

For those of you who have been diagnosed with depression, please tell me...What does it feel like to YOU?
