Psychology - December 2006

I am a depressed american. I was wondering what non-americans do that makes their life enjoyable. I have not been happy with the way people live to work and it seems to get worse. My spouse works in accounting and I never see him and I miss him. I had worked as a teacher and had noticed that the environment was very hostile and passive agressive. No one cared about the quality of things. Quality doesn't seem to matter. Feelings don't matter. No one has time for each other and this really bothers me. Health issues and mental well-being come last. People live like robots and I was curious if this is only an american problem or if it is global.

Some researchers think that language & thinking are closely related & that the ability to construct complex sentences is directly related to the individual’s capability to formulate complex thoughts & vice versa. These researchers note that Americans are reducing their communication to the simple present tense in the indicative mood, rather than using conjunctions. For example, take the sentence: “I asked him if he could go.” This sentence is now often expressed: “I asked him - could he go?”

A more complicated example: “They expressed doubt as to whether or not they could accomplish this task.” Now more commonly expressed as: “They said they had doubts about – could they accomplish this task.”


What is happening here? One theory is that less intelligent people are setting the tone & that more intelligent people are being brought down to the lower level – a process described as a reduction to the lowest common denominator. Are Americans thereby losing the capacity to think?

I'm impatient when I want something to happen in life (I'm talking big stuff, like career, not waiting for a traffic light), but I'm trying to change that, without considering myself lazy.

I have a best friend, and she believes that her little cousin can see into the future (near future). I have listened to her stories, and I have also heard that it can happen when you are young, but then it can wear off. I don't want to confront her with the fact that it might wear off because she might get mad. I'm just wondering if any body knew anything about this subject. And incase you are wondering, there is a little history of paranormal activity in the family.

And I do not necessarily mean love meant for a 'significant other.'

And why the euphemism 'making love' when people have sex. and sometimes the sex appears to be solely physical gratification...

It may be hard to believe but its an actual survey. People (cant remember how many) were asked how long should it take for a grieving parent(of an baby) to "get over it" and move on with their life? The average answer was a day and a half! Is that not the most insane thing youve ever heard? I know first hand how untrue this is.

What kind of voodoo is looking at inkblots anyway? How would someone know whether their psychiatrist failed the inkblot final exam? Of course, if somebody is willing to pay hundreds of dollars to a complete stranger, they SHOULD have their head examined. How would a psychiarist heal themself, by talking to themself? It would be crazy for someone earning hundreds of dollars an hour, to go pay hundreds of dollars to someone else I think, unless they had a really cool inkblot hanging on their wall.
