Other - Social Science - December 2006

Thanks for reading! I'm doing science coursework, lucky me, and would be very grateful if you could answer the following questions for me:

If you were to have a baby...

1. Would you choose the baby's gender if it could stop the baby developing a sex-related disease?

2. Would you choose the baby's gender for 'social' reasons (eg if you already had 3 boys and wanted a girl)?

3. Would you choose the baby's eye colour, hair colour or other physical features?

Thanks very much!

i recently went through a REALLY anti social period and just stopped talking to everyone but my parents and 2 closest friends. i was just frustrated with people in general and started keeping to myself. i was like that for a good three years and now i'm comming out of my funk and i want to interact with the world again. the problem is that i've been out of it for soo long that i almost forget how to be social, and i'm overly contious of my behavior all the time. i feel uncofortable talking to others and it's difficult for me to conect with people. i get nervouse somtimes because i'm afraid people will sense that i'm not good at talking.
it's kind of a weird problem but i would appreciate any advice.

I think the original Justice League was made up of 7 members. If you could make up your own Justice League only 7 members aloud. What Characters would you pick? These can be characters from comics, books, tv, movies, any characters from something publicly known.

Through my work, I am in contact with a large number of entrepreneurs and have noticed that there seems to be a disproportionate number of them who are only-children. I was wondering if there have been any studies into only-children, specifically detailing their propensity to be entrepreneurial in business, to be successful in arts/music etc. Are they more determined/driven to succeed??

Married men eventually masterbate twice as much as single men, and if so, is this because the wifes of the world have already sprung their traps?

I don't agree with people who say people on this site are shallow,stupid etc. There are many very funny & intelligent & kind people who regularly make me laugh. Despite some sarcastic remarks which are annoying, & some stalkers who are tracking my posts (scary, I deleted my question).

When conflicts occur take a step back & watch how you react. Our first impluse is to use authority, to exert control, to nip the fights in the bud. But honestly this doesn't teach children to work out their own differences, instead it teaches them to be totally dependant upon us to resolve their problems, and this dependance is taken into adulthood. Another reaction is to yell at them, "Stop Fighting!!" Rather than listening to see what their real needs are.
To sit back, in laziness is a pitfall in modern day family life. This laziness is the bored irritation that causes someone to yell without listening to attain the required information to help them solve their problems together. Rather than getting dragged into fights with our children,
stop, and mindfully listen, yes listen attentively!
It may be that some bickering gives them the chance to negotiate, and to work things out on thier own. It is o.k. to feel a little irritated.
Our children can teach us Patience & Love !!

I see it everywhere, especially in museums, shops etc. I assume it's related to hearing difficulties, but what exactly does it mean? Also there's another one with the letter "T", and a diagonal line through it. Appreciate your help. Thank you.

Can you share your perception about them, their cultures and religion. Also state about the specific/general comments and the areas of improvement that you can perhaps suggest to me. Every opinion is valuable and helpful.

Obviously they wouldn't live through it. But I just watched a movie where the villain killed someone by doing that. Possible?

Some people say they can tell if two people make a good couple just by looking at them. How can you tell. If one person is much less attractive than the other person do you think they can still make a good couple.
Do you think these people would make a good couple?:

They complain about believers preaching and trying to convert when they do the same. The 'free thinkers' tolerate anyone to freely think as long as it is within their 'belief' systems. They ridicule and mock believers and call themselves 'tolerant'? What do you think?
