Sociology - September 2007

Imagine that overnight humanity becomes unable to speak or write any language, like total aphasia, but generalized. You try to speak, but you can only sprout gibberish sounds and mangled pieces of words, you run to a monitor and you find you're unable to read.
Everyone is in the very same condition... could you describe this world?

I'm 24 and I went through severe bullying when I was in grade, middle, and high school. Some of the same people who bullied me went to the same schools as I. I can't help but hurt over what happen. I try to understand and take it all in. As a child I never told about the abuse and bullying I endured at home and at school, I thought it was normal, the hurt I should have expressed then, I'm doing it now. It's like I'm making up for past hurt. I sometimes think it was my fault for letting the bullies get away with what they did, I wish I would have fought back.My question is where can I find support and help as an adult I'm still dealing with past wounds. I suffer from depression, post traumatic stress, anxiety. Anyone know of any help groups, forums, sites? Anyone went through bullying or was a bully? Let me know your story. I believe adults still need encourage, support, help sometimes because victims of bullying and abuse have their times of relapse and still secretly hurting.

"Nobody who has invested much time down
a blind alley likes the messenger who shines
a light at the brick wall up ahead".

If so, explain when you have encountered this type of resilience in ones obstinacy in accepting the truth?
Was it your credo or someone Else's?

I keep hearing "If you're over thirty, and you want to get married, you have to marry somebody with children !" . Is this true ? Would EVERYBODY make a good stepparent ? Can ANYBODY inspire children to be respectful and obedient ? Whenever I've been in charge of children, they've usually decided I'm somebody they don't have to obey . Children won't obey somebody's rules if they don't want to, and they don't want to . I'd have to have my rules obeyed and respected, and children aren't obedient and respectful . If Mom has a second husband, Dad has a second wife, and everybody's making rules for the kids, isn't that "too many cooks in the kitchen" ?

The veracity of this claim is true just by looking around this site. Earlier today I was looking at articles about the immorality and supposed damaging effect porn has on kids, and I saw one satirical answer which was immediately refuted. Do you guys not understand humor? Did you not learn how to laugh as kids? Weigh in on this ****, but try not to freak out.

Please read before you post answers, and no ignorant answers, only honest ones please:

Through life experience, education, personal experience, and even reading so many blogs such as on yahoo answers, youtube, and even in the news, wouldn't it be safe to say while we are all human, you can comment on race from a cultural perspective? Meaning; not everyone from a certain ethnic or racial background behaves or is a certain way, but when a majority is (and knowing there is a minority who isn't), why is it so bad when someone asks a legitimate question? I don't mean some of the racist rants like I've seen here, but when someone asks why so many ___ or why do some _____, people get all offended and post rude answers? (I'm not counting trolls because they are just stupid).

I think political correctness, while its good for not judging people, gets in the way of the truth often times. I think everyone is diverse, yes, but I do believe its okay to comment on a majority in society.

Consider how your social status influences your view of the world. Give an example from your personal experience of how you have shaped your own reality through social interaction.

I will choose 3 articles and argue which of the theoretical perspectives (functionalism, conflict theory, interactionism) best describes the tone, intent, or view of the article. I'm having a tough time looking for these types of articles in the newspaper. Can anyone help me figure out what topics from the newspaper will be good for the theoretical perspectives.
