i simply want to attain a common social impression on love. I've written papers and done research for 5 years now on love. Now i want to see how people answer online because i believe people have an anonymous feeling online and will answer more openly.
please answer intelligently. (meaning i hate spam)

Is morality and individual choice or is it determined by one's upbringing?


What do you think?

I'm a 14 year old girl, and I'm shy. Yes, shy.
I will assume that for some/most of you, the first thing to cross your mind would be that I need to change, and that perhaps I have a big blemish on my personality that needs removing. But whatever people say now, I have learned to accept that that's just me...I'm a shy/quiet person. It's not as if it upsets me anymore; it doesn't bother me or my life.

Anyway, I just have a problem with...everyone, really, (except my family) that they all seem to think that I have this major problem, saying I need to change, that there is something wrong with me. I am always annoyed when random people that I don't know too well approach me and say "Why are you so quiet?" What is it with this society that causes them to have such difficulty in accepting that some people are quiet? Anyway, the time that I would've spent talking about pointless things is spent thinking about deeper, more meaningful things.

do you believe that the first millenium goal to halve poverty by the year 2015 is achievable or do you think it's just another empty promise that the world is committing itself to?

In reality, TV is not...

** Does TV try to explain the way that american society is ( Helps more than it Hurts ) or does it cuase american society to be more like TV. ( Hurts more than it Helps ).. The above is how I look at the question. Do not be restricted by this paraphrased statement..

Open Thoughts Please.

I read some tabloids regarding crimes (particularly murder) resulting from really bad jokes, and it made me wonder why people should do that. Consequently, it is one of the questions I raised in my research, so I am going to need an answer quickly.

Can you learn social skills after a certain age? My brother, who's a smart guy in sociology, said that you either have them or not. But my opinion is that you can improve them, by reflection and reading self-help books.
Example: communication, negociation, defense in relation with others.

Often you see beautiful girls with bad habits such as smoking, drugs, excessive drinking, tramp stamps (tattoos), and being whores. No, not all of them are but the majority. It is so rare to find beautiful girls with goodie-too-shoes attitudes and good morals. Why?

I have to form a hypothesis for a social issue; I chose Euthanasia.

I'm finding it really hard to formulate the hypothesis, added to that I have to create three supporting questions.

I was thinking something like

'Religion impacts the governments belief on Euthanasia'

What do you think? Or if you can think of something better, please let me know.

Why are so many people in America in a sense sheeple? I mean when there are mainstream events going on a great majority of them rally behind one bandwagon or another. Very few people I see actually follow certain fashions and bandwagons because they look at the facts. Most I know follow these trends just because they think its cool or better without exploring the facts. Why do people tend to believe everything the media tells them sometimes? I mean, are there even that many skeptics anymore? Because I know that most of what I hear and half of what I see is deceiving especially in the long run. So why don't most people get this? In 1993, everything the media said about the Clinton health plan wasn't necessarily explanation of the facts, and in 2003 the media wasn't exactly right on the Iraq War either. My point: question most if not all of what you hear... at least SOME!!

I don't mean this to be any kind of racist question and this question does not specifically pertain to race but rather culture (because its great how we can all have different looks, skin tones and appearances but yet still have one culture).

Do you think too much diversity can hurt the USA? For instance, not having an official language causes a lot of division, barriers, and hostility between people. Same with culture. Doesn't America need a real culture besides the mass media and the "green" that Americans of all races can be able to work in harmony with?

I know some will say its the melting pot that is America's culture, and while this is true, then why are so many different types so hostile to one another? In my opinion America NEEDS a real culture not just a fake one or one that favors only one specific race or generalization.

What's your opinion? No rude answers please.
