Sociology - August 2007

hindus in india caste divided. they inherit low/high cates by birth. the old varna sustem is beneficial to the upper crust of the society and they resist any change. marriages are restricted within caste, that is a brahmin boy can marry a brahmin girl only. inter castes marrisges are looked down upon. there are many hidden factors . but isn't it biologically wrong to confined to intracaste marriages. is it the reason indian hindus are becoming physically weaker and shorter?

I'm kinda of a shy guy, i dont talk much, i avoid attetion, im self councious...etc. but when i walk on a corridor full of ppl i feel that i get a bad vibe from ppl when i dont look at random faces while walking, like when i wanna get from A to B i just start walking focused on my destination, so much that i miss ppl that know me and they have to either tap me or call out my name, i think this is bad because sometimes i miss ppl making them feel i dont wanna talk to them so I'm just wondering if this is normal or somehting that i have to start working on improving?

I think that pretty people in our society have it better than those of us who are not physically attractive. Tyra Banks did a show where she dressed up as a fat woman but no one knew she was Tyra (the famous model/talk show host).

People in society mistreated Tyra as she lived THE FAT LIFE for one day. It was a terrible experience. I am not downgrading fat people. This post is simply about knowing that pretty people have it easier than most people who are not pretty.

Recall the phrase "Blondes Have More Fun"? Well, I think pretty people have more fun in our society. The same applies in the work force. Pretty people (stupid or smart) get the job while the ugly folks are told to TALK TO THE HAND.

Your view? Your experience?

I don't get why people are so against those of the gay community. They never did anything to us; they're just people. It seriously annoys me.

I honestly thought that I had a good grip on the mvmt, but I must be missing something. Are some of my female counterparts misbehaving, acting obnoxious, or being just plain rude. I don't know what all the fuss is.

When I was younger I never thought that men and women hated each other or anything like that, I just saw it as one group of people being girls and another group of people being girls. But after being on Yahoo Answers, it seems like men and women (especially in the U.S.) hate each other, well I guess it seems more like women hate men. Based on some of the questions and answers, I get the impression that women don't want men, or don't want anything to do with them ... but I can walk into a mall, or go to the beach and see men and women with each other, getting along, couples holding hands, etc, and I'm 17 and I have lot's of friends who are girls and we get on great, but then I come to Yahoo Answers and it seems the opposite.

So am I making a mountain of out of a molehill (comparing the questions/answers on yahoo answers to the "real world") or do women and men really not like each other?

I've been in Japan for years. I came to the States for 3 days on business. I could'nt wait to go home. Just store clerks, restaraunt workers in Japan compared to the States are superb. Very polite and make you feel at home. The same as people you meet on the street. But in the States you don't feel that same hospitality.

I still love America

Recently I went to church camp, I am the the religion that the camp was for but I went anyway. An older man was talking about a retreat that he had went on and how a "heavy metal" kid was conformed. The kid was sent on the retreat for a punishment. Once when he was there, he learned part of being a christian was not judging. Then he said "so thats what its all about? why didn't anyone tell me that" apparently, he was upset with people judging him based on his appearence. A currently have no religion, but when people hear I am not christian at camp they tend to think I have no morals, why is that?
