Can someone PLEASE help me come up w/ a hypothesis for the words Tattooing (or body art);Social class?

Answer 1

A hypothesis is NOT an "educated guess" as some textbooks and instructors would have you believe. It is the EXPECTED result of an experiment or research design, based upon prior knowledge.

Also, a hypothesis is never a question. It is always a statement that can be proved or disproved. It should also be quantifiable.

So, how about:


The more tattoos that a person has, the lower the social class, based on the socioeconomic values established for education, occupation, and income.

[You can use a scale for income, years of education, and the NORC (University of Chicago) study for occupation.]


Of course, your research may disprove the hypothesis, which is all right.

Answer 2

Tattoo.... Tatooine word used in star wars the movie (yeah the one of the rebels) I have a tiny tattoo pentagram, under my left foot.... My little niece Demelza, designs her Tribal tattoos.... Chakotay in Star trek Voyager has one.... My tribe Phenix or Phoenix (preferably) is having the idea of a tattoo for her right shoulder under advisement as we speak.... Something with Yin and Yang... Natural mark for a link with your totem animal... Chakotay's tattoo stood for the BEAR when I remember correctly... (Voyager lost in Delta Quadrant, hurled in there by a caretaker, they'll need 75 years to come home... Glad I'm no caretaker but phoenix) Society Matriarch is my idea of phoenix, but I do not relate to a paid function like that... I have no teaching diploma's... But hey... this is the internet, and I teach just the same... More money in the bank would serve me too.... Is there a post on your school for a teacher like me????
