Psychology - July 2006

I am doing an independent study project and want to know what types of questions I could possibly research addressing issues of perception and incorporating visual puns into the project. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

for the past 100,000+ years we have been animals. in the past 50-100 we have come inside to start working in factories and offices.

i think happiness is found by satisfying our primitive-preprogrammed instincts, feelings, desires, etc. because that is who we are, those things are in the very genetic make-up that make us who we are. not bigger appliances.

i think in our modern world we have completely forgotten where we came from or who we are. and no wonder no ones happy. we have replaced our primitve internal needs with the telivision. we are denying ourselves of the most basic and deep rooted part of ourselves. sunshine, companionship, physical activity, sex, adrenaline, etc.

i like this philosophy. what do you think?

I sometime put a lot of thought into answering questions and it seems that a stupid answer gets picked. When I give a flip or joke answer or put a minimal thought into it, it is as likely to get voted best. Is it worth the effort to do all that typing?

I was living in a house that, for some reason, also had my work office inside of it.There were always different people coming and going from the place. Each time I walked into the house, I saw someone new. Sometimes it was somebody I knew from high school, next time it was someone i know from a local tavern. Relatives, coworkers, and a couple of times a total stranger to me. I was driving a bright orange pickup truck with a bunch of old furniture and boxes in the back. I kept losing my keys in one of the boxes, a different one each time. While all of this is going on, my boss is constantly there making life miserable. Complaining that the music is too loud, or that we shouldn't be watching tv in the middle of the day. At one point there was a strange lady that approached me and a friend of mine to ask if we could help get both cats into her room without messing with the snake on the floor in the hallway. And, a fat white kid in a striped shirt kept tellig me my truck speakers were bad.

maybe this is a personal issue, but i HATE being judged for my age and not my ideas and the content of my person. Why is it that so many of the adults that i,and other people know seem to believe that it is impossible for someone under 25 to know and understand what is going on in the world and actually have a valid opinion?
Why is it so hard for an adult to admit they are wrong when 'bested' by someone who is younger than them?

Thoughts, please.

Just curious.....I read so many inappropriate or bizarre questions that are asked here solely to incite anger or shock among others. Is it caused by immaturity, a personality disorder, some deviant behavior caused by a form mental illness or strictly the need for attention that causes an individual to act this? In your opinion, Is it better to ignore a troll, to answer their assinine question or admonish them for their rude behavior?

This is a serious Q - I notice that most women make a point of saying 'I think x,y,z..but I am NOT a feminist'..also notice that many male posts treat the social movement with utter contempt..

FTR - there is a huge diversity of opinion within the feminist movement but most are also interested in other kinds of injustice too.. it is not about hating men or thinking women are right all the time.. it is about hating the way women are sometimes treated knowing that not all women are oppressed.. or to the same extent..

Issues like the 40,000,000 missing girl children in China, the 10,000,000 in India..are those feminists campaign for or the fact that 12,000 Russian women are killed by their partner each year and domestic abuse is so common they have a saying 'if he doesn't hit you - he doesn't love you'.. or the fact that over 90% of cases of rape which have enough evidence to go to court do not lead to a conviction..the list is endless but just wondered why the contempt?

What are the benefits of communication?

I mean, communication as in talking, body language etc.

Not communication in terms of technology.

Anyone?

I was picked on terribly all through elementary school... It pretty much has always affected me even though I have tried to move past it. For those of you who were bullies I wanna know WHY you did it.....

dreamed, and in the dream you realized you were dreaming and was able to take control over it?
how was it? did you manipulate it to have a fantasy time?
it took me several dreams to finally be aware and catch it.
