Sociology - October 2007

I am doing a questionnaire aimed at teenage girls. It is designed to find out how their body images are affected by the media. But I cant ask people i know because they wouldnt reply truthfully if they knew i would use the information. What can I do..How can i write the questions in a way that they feel as if they can be truthful whilst still finding out about things like eating disorders.

I'm a person who keep's to myself. Introvert and a bit of a cynic. I find that when I'm out in a public place, like sitting at the foodcourt in the mall. I often look around and wonder what everyone else is doing. What dark thought or things they have going. Like that couple sitting across from me. Should they really be sitting there with their wife or husband? You know? I don't do this is a stalker kind of way. Am I'm not trying to be intrusive.They're just thoughts that pop into my head. I think it goes with me being a non-social person and a cynic. Especially in society today. But anyway, anyone else do this or am the only one?

How do you feel about the question? Do you feel happy as things are and just want to mellow out? Do you have a big dream that's inevitably will happen and you just know it?

First of all I don't have any kids nor do I plan to have any.

It seems as though it is common for parents(not all) to teach children not to feel. Not to express their emotions. Don't get mad. Don't cry. Don't stand up for your rights if you feel violated. Don't scream and jump up and down when you're happy.

So why do some parents teach them not to feel?

When I usually hear the words "Personal freedoms." My first thought is, lack of accountability, chosing an amoral path. Lack of conscious. But that usually depends on what the contents are of when it's brought up. I know people are proud of their personal freedoms today and thrive on it in this society. Look around! But I believe that personal freedoms are becoming the silent killer. Were taking our society apart ince, by ince. Because a lot of the times, one persons personal freedoms can have an impact on you. Some might agrue that. Fare and understandable. But anyway. Do think personal freedoms really are the silent killer?

Do think we're gonna end destroying ourselves and going over borad with our personal freedoms? Cause every new generation knows how to push the limits. Sorry if this is a vague question. There's only so much room. . .

Thought?

It's been reported that people are living a lot longer these days. Due to better madical advances and over all health in general. Which as lead to a longer life expectancy. Many would consider this a good thing. . . Is it? Now my question is. With us living longer, does that mean that were able to enjoy life more or sqander it and over stay our welcome stealing from this life? Just because were living longer doesn't mean were doing any better with life? I mean look at what people have too go through because they live longer. PLASTIC SUGERY? Pathetic. Not to mention the way people have become so unsatisfied and selfish over all. Which hasn't really lead to a healthier culture/society. So just because were living longer, does automatically equal a good thing? If you look around were actually any happier. Were getting worse off if anything.

Thoughts?

I believe in a supreme power that remains unidentified by any Epic. I do not believe in any God glorified by a particular religion. I live a normal life liberally blessed by the God that resides in me. Neither do I go to a place of worship nor am I a member of any religious institution. I wish to donate my body after my death and part of my savings for public good while living. What would I be after my death true to your belief? If your reply is fact-based with a broader out look on life and living realities, it will not hurt me. Be frank in your response.

I think it'd be awesome!
Obviously the biggest turnoff for a lot of people would be losing your "complete identity", but if your brain wasn't touched you'd still be the same person as before!
Also, you'd be superior! You could be much stronger, faster, react quicker tahn before, not to mention you could lose a lot of your nautral human vuniberality! (humans life is rather delicate, obviously!)
I think it's be cool to be a cyborg, don't you?

When do you think kid's lose their innocence? I know there can be many factors. Some of them horrible. But in general, when do think they lose innocence and get taken over by the world. And is it a tradgic loss? I think the world would be a much better place, if we had more innocence. I think if most couples shared that innocent love children have, thing might look different these days for families and relationships.

I've heard people say that being a cynic means that you're usually a person who analyzes and thinks.That you're a person of caution. But my question is, when does being a cynic mean you're a educated, smart-aware person? Or a foolish arrogant, hard-headed know it all? How do you find that line? I'm a cynic myself and often wonder when I do cross that line. How much do I really know? And I'm not cynical because I hate people! complete opposite.

How do you know?

Thoughts?

Over the past 50 years there have been an untold number of advancements in virtualy every aspect of our lives, but is this change a blessing or a curse? Due to all of the new found luxuries we are able to live very comfortable lives with very little effort on our parts, but in the process we have become lazy and dependant on material objects.

Allow me to ellaborate. Now we have metal detectors in schools, new DVD's that take a half hour to get to because of all the security labels, having to sign a form to buy certain cold medications. There are many more things to note and I welcome your examples if you answer. Anyway, peace-

We have been together for a year and I found out I had two teens a few months ago. I have been lying telling her I'm going to come and visit her and never showing up for about a month. I never called and let her know I wasn't coming and I never answered the phone when she called because my kids don't want me talking to her. She wanted to meet the kids but the kids didn't want to meet her. She says she is hurt I kept breaking promises to come see her and I need to learn to balance my time or I will never have a girlfriend. I never came to see her because the kids never wanted to go back home when I picked them up and I always stood my girlfriend up to make them happy. I think she is selfish and thinks so stupid because she says her feelings are hurt that I stand her up and don't call her. She won't talk to me now. Is she wrong or am I wrong?
