What are some connections between Topology and Cultural anthropology?
It's probably an issue of topography more so than topology. The idea is that the shape of the land can relate to the culture that uses it, in terms of ceremonial sites, domestic sites, agricultural activities, water availability, trade routes, etc. There is a sense of "place" in any interpretation of cultural phenomena.
What does the month of June mean?
Not the origins ike it got it's name from Juno or something like that. I want . . . like how January is the month of New Beginnings.. and another one is the month or remembrance or something.
June is the sun at high noon. It is the height of joy. You might say it is the age of 30 for most people when they have gotten past the mistakes of youth but still have good physical strength. Their children have gotten past the age of being worried about and one can work on hobbies. It is a day at the beach walking in the sand listening to the sea. It is satisfaction.
Juno was the goddess of marriage and a married couple's household, so some consider it good luck to be married in this month

Caveman? is this year the year of the caveman - like b.c. real post-nuclear war cavemen?
Are we almost there? An apocolyptic answer is what I'm looking for.
There will be no nuclear war or apocalypse.
You will live for 60 more years at least.
So you better learn to write in proper English so you do not have to spend those 60 years as a caveman.
We haven't reached "the day after" yet. It will be a while. Sorry. You can come out of the fallout shelter for a while longer.
It doesn't hurt to know the shortest route to the nearest cave. cave/save
Uh, no.
You want people to tell you we're heading there WHY?

Is Mercyhurst college a good college for archaeology?
And about how long would it take for me to get my degree in archaeo and anthro?
Mercyhurst is a good college for it. I have a few colleagues that graduated from there. I know a few of the professors as well. You must like winter though being so close to Lake Erie they get a lot of snow. Erie is a pretty cool city too.

Are africans not as smart as the other ethnicity
call me racist but its not what im going for
what im saying is some of the first civilizations on earth were mesopotamia egypt Chinese and greek. but they are still undeveloped.
is it just location location location and lack of resources. are is their another genetic factor in it?
Whereas, of course, Matt - you're a prime example of white superiority!
Well Egyptians are Africans, not Sub Saharan Africans like the dark skinned ones, they are Mediterranian Africans, and there is a place called Great Zimbabwe that is a ruin of a once advanced people is Sub Sahara Africa that is just plain Neat, that up until a few years ago was said to be foreign construction, because of the same belief that Black Africans couldn't do it but the fact it exists proves they did have advanced skills why they lost them are unknown, and Ethiopia has many places that show advanced ability, mainly the Churches that are meant to replicate the Holy Land.
as for the current state of Africa, I dont know why they may have lost ancient skills but they have Lions and other major feline predators and a harsh enviroment so thot could be a contributing factor to the difference in developement,
They had some pretty advanced civilizations there before falling prey to the advanced weaponry of the Europeans. Unfortunately, the Europeans than got to write the histories.
Progress does not equal intelligence. Many 'profressive' movements have reaped extremely hazardous conseuqnces, and what we see as 'primitive' practices are often highly sustainable
wow, brian, your naivety and ignorance is baffling
There is no genetic factor involved in this. Its actually the need for resources, would you rather hunt for food and live or die soon but with knowledge?
No.
All people are open to equal education.
It depends on how hard they study and their efforts.

HELP ME ON THE ANCIENT MAYANS!?
plz plz help me!!!!i have a big report due
tell me anything you can on the ancient mayans oral tradition, writing system and literature!!thank you!!
The Proto-Mayan language began in the vicinity of Guatemala appx. 5,000 years ago. Their calendar, which has a 5,126 year cycle, would be an example of their "written" word, along with their Creation Legend, known as the Popol Vuh...
Many of their religious codices have been destroyed, or are yet to be found. The Mayan language is NOT dead, as appx. 1.5 million people today still speak it, in the vicinity of the Yucatan, Belize and Guatemala...
Everything was based primarily on the earth and nature. Mythology, religion, pottery and art reflected belief in earth and primarily sun cycles. Expert mathematicians and astrologists. Don't think there was any literature. I think that despite a highly evolved society, they never bothered with written word, prob because they didn;t feel the need to.

How are the Mayans and Aztecs different?
Is there a difference between them?
For one thing, The Mayans lived in Guatemala & Yucatan, while the Aztecs live in what is now Mexico City!
Secondly, While the Mayan Civilization extended from early pre-history, until modern day (Many people in the Yucatan speak the Mayan language today)...
The Aztecs, who referred to themselves as "Mexica", flourished from about the 13th Century, until they were conquered by Cortes in 1521!
their languages were completely different and coming from completely different language families.

Spanking Debate: Pros?
Ok, so for my civics class I have to debate about if spanking should be used or not and I have to do both sides of the case. I got all my points for why people shouldn't use spanking as a way of discipline but I'm having a hard time finding points for why spanking is good since I really don't agree with spanking. Can I get some help?
The benefits of spanking, and in fact, any form of corporal punishment, are limited and outweighed by the negative consequences. It is effective for establishing the parent as the authority figure, and it can stop behaviors from the child. The child may attribute the unpleasant consequence of spanking to the negative behavior, and thus spanking can result in conditioning.
um, you can get your kids to obey you for once

What is the relative importance of competition vs cooperation?
Does society place more value on competition or cooperation.
I don't think there's a more important question than this, but it needs to be rephrased, because there's no such thing as a single, all-encompassing human "society" and never has been. The biggest form of human association we have today that could conceivably be called a "society" is the nation-state (a "country"), which first appeared only about 400 years ago (the passport, for example, was first invented in the 17th century).
With that said, the answer to the question is this: Over the roughly 200,000 years that fully modern people (homo sapiens sapiens) have been around, the relative importance of competition vs. competition has varied very widely, through time and from society to society. Physical fossil, archaeological, and written evidence, along with carefully-developed and -refined hypotheses to explain this evidence, suggest that the balance between competition and cooperation that had been developed over most of those 200,000 years within the typical societies of most of those years ?that being a group of 20 to 40 individuals ?began to be disrupted at, or shortly before, the end of the last glacial period (about 11,000 years ago) when climate change (and changes in plants and animals accompanying it) led to the discovery and development of agriculture, which led, over the next 5,000 years, to the human invention of "improvements" in farm land ?the key example is often thought to be irrigation systems ?with such improvements either leading to or supporting the entirely new concept of the ownership of land. The concept of land ownership seems to have been well-established at, or soon after, the beginning of "civilization" (literally" "cityization"), defined by very small cities (sites of the food-storage that agriculture enabled, and eventually of palaces, temples, the offices of managing bureaucrats) that were surrounded by and supported by the agricultural fields. In such places ?which by 5500 years ago had become the first true states ?the balance had unquestionably shifted in favor of competition: a managing elite minority competed with a physically-working majority, and won the competition (part of the time at least) by either compelling or persuading (or both) the majority to give part of the (literal) fruits of its labor to the ruling/managing minority. A thousand years later, at the beginning of the Bronze Age (bronze being the first metal used to develop superior edged weapons, by those who had access to the materials for making it and knowledge of the technology) aggressive warfare for profit (as opposed to border conflicts) began, and one result of this was a further tilt in favor of competition, in the form of the routine enslavement of prisoners and their use as "instrumenti voci" (a Classical Roman term for slaves, which means literally "talking tools"). Within this framework of "civilizations" ?which co-existed with (an increasingly-small world-wide number of) band societies (most of them hunter-gatherer: food-collecting) ?until less than one hundred years ago (! : a very few remain, but are, as far as we know, at the point of disappearance)! Within both the group of societies at all the various stages of "civilized" development (from primitive agricultural to advanced industrial), there's variation from society to society (and also within sub-societies within the society: religious or utopian or specialized-industrial or academic communities, for example) of the degree of competitiveness versus cooperation. Just the widely differing North American Indian societies that existed at the time of Columbus's arrival ?the "500 Nations" ?displayed a range of competitive versus cooperative behaviors, including one that gives an example of the difficulty of precisely defining competition versus cooperation: the fierce competition to be the most generous giver to the society known as "potlatch". I think the real answer to your question lies in understanding why small societies were successful for a total of more than 3 million years of human-ancestral (hominid) life, and 195,000-plus years of completely modern human life; and why the much larger societies that began to appear six thousand or so years ago have begun to seem to be wildly unsuccessful, both in terms of the human happiness they provide, and in their adaptiveness to the continuing existence of the human species. Thinking about this shouldn't produce despair, because movement through time ?deep history ?always proceeds in a wave-like way, with experimental excursions from side to side, some in maladaptive directions that are then followed by corrections, always accompanying forward progress.

Interview with an anthropologist?
can anyone suggest an interview with an anthropologist, this is kind of urgent
I'd absolutely suggest an interview with an anthropologist! (I think it's urgent for _everyone_!)
Your query is fascinating, and I'd be happy to do what I can, on this forum.
If you want a more private interview than that, though, you might first want to check Wikipedia or similar to get an idea of what area of anthropology you're interested in: paleoanthropology, cultural anthropology, etc.. Then: the various department curators at the American Museum of Natural History used to take phone questions, and maybe still do. They are some of the top scholars in the world, though, and you should take the opportunity to talk to them very seriously, and prepare for it. If you want to see some interviews online, google "Marvin Harris" (Harris, chair of the Columbia University anthropology department, was a deeply humanistic, but objective, guy who founded the anthropological school called cultural materialism, wrote the standard but unique anthropological advanced college text (_The Rise of Anthropological Theory_), and also wrote three books for general audiences (_Cannibals and Kings_, very serious and concerned , and _Our Kind_, fatter and lighter (all two- and three-page chapters, because his publishers asked him to write about everything he knew). Harris's last book, published the year he died (2000 or 2002, close as I can recall) is called _Theories of Culture in a Post-Modern Age_. If your urgent issue has anything to do with confusion arising from what you've heard or been taught in the past 30 years of academic .... (can't remember the polite term for b-s) ... Harris takes on, one by one, each of the varieties of cultural interpretation of that bountiful substance. Besides Harris, Cambridge D-Space has about 50 years worth of filmed and taped interviews with leading anthropologists online, set up so you can watch either an excerpt or the whole interview. This would be truly great, except that the anthropology department at Cambridge leans heavily towards the "functionalist" school, which avoids the big picture (which cultural materialism emphatically doesn't ... I'm neither primarily a cultural materialist nor a functionalist, by the way).
Of course, as you probably know, you can go to most good college or university website, look up the faculty list, and get the e-mail address of an anthropologist. Or call the American Anthropology Association.
Go to a University near you and check in the Anthropology department. According to what type of Anthropologist that you'd like to interview, inform the department head or the secretary what your intentions are and ask if you might be able to talk to someone.

Why Filipinos are always insulting Koreans?
My theory is that they are just envious. Korean are richer than them, they are whiter, etc...
Any group, that insults another group or individual, is attempting to place themselves on a higher level than their target.
By placing themselves in an exalted position where they feel that they can pronounce Judgements on others, they feel that they have elevated themselves to a social position, way above their targets.
Which, of course is not true.
It's only in their mind.
And the real basis of their actions, is for reasons, that they feel so inferior.
I am part filipina and I have never heard of any filipino insult koreans?
What kind of question is this?

How do you become an artifact AUTHENTICator?
I am very much into Native American Artifacts and would like to know what steps must be taken to be a legit artifact authenticator.
the only way to determine if an artifact is genuine or fake is become a curator of a museum which involves obtaining a phd in either anthropology or art history. it should be understood that many of the great museums in the world still hold fakes within their collection and often it is quite difficult to spot the not.
There is no such thing as a "legit artifact authenticator," by authenticating artifacts you are perpetuating the idea that it is okay to loot and thereby destroy archaeological sites to find artifacts given superficial value by a grey market. Once an artifact is removed from it's primary context it will lose most of it's value to science. Plus you are being quite insensitive to the Native Americans whose ancestors made those artifacts. While archaeologists do dig and find things these artifacts would otherwise be destroyed by the roadway or pipeline that the archaeologist is digging in front of. Finally your authentication could support the illegal sale of artifacts and that could wind you up in hot water from the law.
If you really want to pay homage and do something creative I'd recommend you make your own projectile points, or other objects by imitating the style of the Native Americans you like. There are many books written on the subject of projectile point creation and the craftsmanship behind the bow and arrow shafts, and fewer, but still enough to let a lay person begin to learn how, to make other objects used by Native Americans.
Finally, unless you can be sure of the context (you dug it up) there is no way to say if an artifact is actually authentic. Therefore any arrowhead presented to you as real could have been made by a skilled replicator.
good luck gingerita

Victimization is most likely to occur when?
is the answer a when a person is alone or in unfamiliar sorroundings b when a situation is resolved quickly c when thier is history of violence or d when a dispute is left unresolved
When you wear a t-shirt with a bright, red bull's-eye target, on your back...
Victimization occurs when:
1. One or more persons feel they are more entitled to something than any one else.
If you put one person in a room alone that one person can not victimize any body.
Now put two people in a room with nothing but a plate of food enough for one. All sorts of social phenomena starts to happen.
1. They fight over the food.
2. They share the food.
3. They divide the food according to size, wieght, age, sex, and social standing etc. etc.
4. The more aggressive of the two will try to dominate the other and try to establish "The Alpha" rule.
5. Both will begin to hoard. They begin to steal, trick, lie, or cheat to get more food.
All this could have been solved if there were enough food for both to begin with.
That is the case for everything in society today. Violence and victimization occurs when one person or a group feels they are deserving of something better than others. Exploitation to get at resources is nothing new. Cavemen did it. The animals do it all the time for their survival.
The trouble is we as human and as creatures of reasons tend to over aggressively exploit to get what we deem are necessary.
People had killed each other over food, money, job, love, and land. It it will keep on going until the human as a race is pure energy. Then we won't need those things any more.
Victimization is most likely to occur when an event tales place and you are left feeling the negative repercussions.

How come the Aztecs or Incas didn
If these civilizations were so strong, how come they didn't event firearms? I think I know the answer, but I want to hear what other people think.
The only iron in the cultures was from meteorites. The copper, silver, and gold they used weren't strong enough for guns.
Sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal were known but it's a fussy formula to make black powder.
When the Native Americans finally got guns from the newcomers they became totally dependent on the Europeans. The Native Americans didn't have the industrial base to repairs and replace the guns or to mine the lead and make gunpowder. Even by 19876 at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, muskets were often preferred as mismatched cartridges could be broken down to powder and lead that a musket could use.
Perhaps the biggest reason was culture. Both groups didn't encourage initiative or individuality. Leonardo Da Vinci would wouldn't have done well. Alchemy the basis for chemistry and gunpowder never developed.. While there was lots of warfare it wasn't the European type. In the Americas it was among warriors where one gained fame and prestige and was a rite of passage. Simply look at the elaborate dress of the warriors. There's more culture then practically. Counting coup was purely American (getting close to slap of tough an opponet. Killing or shooting them counted much less) In Europe fighting was intended to kill. With the Aztecs it was to obtain prisoners for sacrifice.
Finally, both empires were relatively recent and had rolled over their opponents. In Europe there were many small states that were constantly fighting with each other and seeking to obtain an advantage. That encouraged innovation and technology.
Just the way it was! They didn't have the wheel either. Anyway, the use of firearms was only just getting into it's stride in China and the West at the time the Aztecs were being conquered. You may as well ask why the Arabs didn't invent gunpowder, or why the Chinese, or the Romans didn't invent a numerical system as simple and the one invented in India.
Clearly the Europeans who had the benefit of gaining technology from all of Asia and Africa as well, were more advanced. Perhaps the Aztecs would have eventually invented them but the Europeans conquered them first. Europeans developed shipping before Aztecs had any hope of inventing those things.
Uh,only ONE civilizations invented explosives: Chinese.
So you should also ask "Why didn't Europeans or Africans also discover explosives" rather than targetting those two civilizations.
They WERE strong. There's no reason to assume every strong civilization would invent firearms.
The concept wasn't in their minds yet. It was probably too early for them to discover this.
The only iron in the cultures was from meteorites. The copper, silver, and gold they used weren't strong enough for guns.
Sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal were known but it's a fussy formula to make black powder.
When the Native Americans finally got guns from the newcomers they became totally dependent on the Europeans. The Native Americans didn't have the industrial base to repairs and replace the guns or to mine the lead and make gunpowder. Even by 19876 at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, muskets were often preferred as mismatched cartridges could be broken down to powder and lead that a musket could use.
Perhaps the biggest reason was culture. Both groups didn't encourage initiative or individuality. Leonardo Da Vinci would wouldn't have done well. Alchemy the basis for chemistry and gunpowder never developed.. While there was lots of warfare it wasn't the European type. In the Americas it was among warriors where one gained fame and prestige and was a rite of passage. Simply look at the elaborate dress of the warriors. There's more culture then practically.

Racial origins of North Caucasians?
Im very curious about the racial and genetic characteristics of the Chechens and other peoples of the Caucasus whos speak North Caucasian languages. If they do have common lineage with other "white" indo-european peoples then why do they speak unrelated languages(N Caucasian languages are agglutinative, unlike Indo-European toungues which are fusional)?
like Q said, language and skin color do not correlate. the true caucasians, that is speakers of the caucasus languages, have their origins extending back to the some of the ancient anatolian languages such as hattic and kaskian and perhaps hurrian.
Language groupings don't follow genetic groupings. It's as simple as that. Plus, we know that there was a European language group that preceded and was replaced by Indo-European (and Indo-European likely originated in the Caucasus region, for that matter--possibly from the Kurgan area. The pre-European language remains only in groups like the Basques.

..........Are Persians Asian?
Geographically? Yes, they are. But how about racially?
Middle Eastern?
Asian?
Caucasian?
Iranian are persians and they are in fact considered Causcasians.. Afghani's are also considered Caucasians. Go to the east one country and the Arabs and considered Asian
caucasian. Most of the forefathers of Europe exited the near east from around this area over 10,000 years ago....Green and blue eyes and fair hair is not uncommon and many have what is now considered standard 'European' mtdna (H,T, J etc)or else the older haplogroups (pre-HV,JT) from which Euro dna branched off from.
Depends on what you consider 'Asian'
If you mean "people living the non-European areas of Eurasia" yes.
If you mean "far eastern Asian" no.
'Race' is a comp0letely arbitrary concept, with no reality.
Arabs are also caucasion. Asian isn't a race. Obviously it is a continent. That is one problem in using things like African American and Asian American.
Racially they are considered Caucasian.
Nope, we are Caucasian.
Yes really.

What racial phenotype woud be rarer? in your opinion?
a north or central european who looks like a north african or arabic/mid eastern? or a arabic mid eastern or north african who looks northern european? what woud be rarer?
I think an Arabic mid eastern or north African who looks northern European, usually dark genes are more prominent.
I think a mid eastern person who looks Northern european would be more rare, there are some middle eastern people who have green or blue eyes but they still don't exactly look like a Norwegian, on the other hand in Europe they have found small amounts of DNA from the middle east, in European populations Tomas Jefferson had DNA similar to that of an Egyptian even though he was of Welsh origins, in an ancient grave in Denmark they found the remains of an arab man, and of course the Jews have been in Europe for a very long time and some intermarrying both ways took place

I've wondered this. it's important to realize that Survival of the fittest does not mean the same thing for a civilized people as it does for other animals. We don't yet understand all the traits that contribute to our own survival and it's possible that some of those that might be weeded out by natural selection could prove useful in the future.
Will our medicine adn other practices mean that individuals who would not normally survive, grow and procreate? yes. Is that bad for the species? I'm not sure. In my experience those with the best genes tend toward others with the best genes and those with the worst tend to the worst so I think there will be a core of people that have the qualities needed for survival in tough times should civilization collapse.
My real concern is the weight of carrying all those people with bad genes causing the collapse. OTOH with medicine able to identify and fix the most obvious problems in the near future it may never be an issue at all and natural selction will progress beneath the surface, operating on the parts of the genome we leave alone or don't understand.
BTW there is recent evidence that the rate of mutation in humans has increased mostly due to the surge in population in the last 5000 years
The survival of the fittest is still in effect. However the definition of "fittest" has changed & no longer applies to strictly physical fitness. The fittest now adapt to cultural changes rather than survival of harsh environments.
No doubt advances in culture & medicine have allowed many that in the past would not have survived long enough to reproduce to do so. However, physical robustness is no longer a major survival factor. Perhaps the existence of those in need of help tends to increase empathy among our evolving culture(s). Certainly diseases like diabetes would have doomed many major contributers to our culture to a short & unproductive life in the past.
Not having survival of the fittest causes would mean no natural selection though mate choice and environment.
Though there always will be mate choice, so some natural selection is occurring. Also there is some natural selection occurring in people who have such genes making them unable to survive certain circumstances, such as genes causing mutations at birth making them unable to live.
But that obviously is significantly less natural selection then we've had before, and is affecting us. Two negative things are happening due to the lessening of natural selection: Increased mutations left to exist in world, and our species not evolving as much in a specific direction.
The increase in mutations can be helpful because it increase diversity, which will help combat diseases, it will often be curbed if it gets to far out of hand by the mate selection we still have. Our species not evolving isn't very harmful because we are surviving in our environment and have very little competition to face.
Overall the decrease in natural selection will not affect us significantly because the more harmful genes will still be eliminated through natural selection. And it will increase diversity to help us have better chances to evolve in the future during a time of pressure.
It depends on how you explain harmful. On one hand, it is, as by keeping people alive who by natural selection would have not survived we are in a sense preventing our own evolution and any further development of our species. However, the lack of survival of the fittest could be said to be beneficial to society as it gives us something that other creatures do not have, more of a conscious perhaps? I'm not sure if that helps but that would be my opinion on the matter.

How can the human race survive the next 100 years?
l like your question..
the best solution is a war.. it's not a joke, there are too many persons on the world, and just thanks to the wars - human race was able to survive until these days.. that were no wars- the earth would be overpopulated, we would be like sardines . just human race is not controlling birth-rate, has no enemies and has no sense for a responsibility. make your own calculation that - if be a peace (and so on)- within 100years, the population will be 3 times bigger then now.. so, if people do not want to stop with making kids and kids and kids and kids- there is just one solution for it. earth is like and island, has limits and humans do not want to accepted.. so what to do? let humans destroy all other species of the globe and, then, all will dye of hunger or will become cannibals..
terrorists do not exist, exist just an enemy who try to defend the home of others.. why don't you ask your ex-president how they became your enemies and why, didn't want to judge them in front of face of the world? cause they didn't do it. and the true who did it - would come out.. never happend in human history that someone had a prisoners but was afraid to judge them in front of others.. isn't that strange? he wasn't afraid to accuse them openly, he wasn't afraid to capture them - but was afraid to judge them on same way- so everybody can see what they really did.. a persons who organized the destruction of 2 towers walk free..
the towels were constructed to support the strongest earthquakes and couldn't crash down because of those planes. just one nation saved all her stuff- and were adviced day before so not even one of them didn't come to work (and they should be - at least- one thousand persons- strange?). pentagon supposed to be hit by plane- but when was obvious that wasn't plane- all had to disappear!!!
go ahead, and check it.. bil aden just said what was true "l didn't expect that the towers will crash down" and in front of any court- is not any prove that he ordered it.. he is not standinding behind it..
now comes out the real reason why the towers were destroied...
that is a real america and a real story about international terrorism
You are talking about a species that rose from prey to top predator in less than 2 million years and survived catastrophic events that rendered 100s of other species extinct (ice ages, drought and the eruption of the massive Toba volcano 74,000 yrs ago). While humans have suffered numerous reversals of progress, their ingenuity & ability to adapt to conditions has allowed them to overcome those obstacles & prevail.
While global warming may pose a problem in the future, it will not be an insurmountable obstacle. I suspect humans will someday stand on a planet circling a distant star & look back at this small sun in the night sky.
win the war on terrorism, f.u.c.k.i.n. hippies! screw global warming. what will you do about a nuclear winter?

Are there any good sources on sumu (
I've got a project to do on witchcraft or sorcery for my anthropology class, and I chose to do sumu because I've heard of this type of magic when discussing Dian Fossey...I haven't even found out if it was a particular tribe/group that practiced this sort of witchcraft or if it was widespread across Rwanda.
However, I've searched on Yahoo and Google for good, reliable sources on this topic and I've come up short. I was wondering if anyone could offer help. :]
I can't find a thing on Amazon, the entire Chicago public library database...or my university's Illinois shared library database (includes 70 schools' books). I even tried an article search and nothing specific came up. I suggest you swing to Haiti topics or broaden your discussion of black magic beyond "sumu", it's not coming up in any of my searches.
Try a book called,
Witchcraft and Magic Among the Azande. By E.E. Pritchard.
It's a staple anthropological text and discusses a form of magic/witchcraft called Mangu practiced by a group living in the Sudan. Theres a ton of material on it too so you should be more productive in your search.

Why does my teacher hate me?
She always goes around me when handing tests, I am the last one to get one even though I am first.
She doesn't look at me while she is speaking to the class, instead she avoids any eye contact until I look away from her. I know this because I see it in my peripheral vision.
She only asks me hard questions in front of the class, while I am making a speech she interrupts me with those.
She makes grimaces at me and recently she invaded my personal space by sitting in the desk next to me, so she would grade during speeches.
I admit I am a shy person and I never give my input when she's in front of class, but I do talk to her when she's talking to me. I also like to go last in everything and she literally has to call me to get up.
Should I act really friendly towards here and kill her with kindness? I said hello to her when she walked into the class, that took her aback.
It doesn't matter whether she hates you or likes you. She's there to teach you. If she asks you hard questions, consider that maybe she's trying to challenge you. Welcome the challenge because school is easy when compared to real life.
she is a Big Bitc* . BB
just wait and be yourself...... it will eventually end one day.

Sleepwalking and Talking?
Alot of times i sleep walk and talk.
I normally get down from my bunkbed and go into my parents room.
One time i said "just quiten"
I remember being in there and saying something and it making sense to me.
but the next morning my parents will ask me "do you remember what you said to us last night?" and i dont know.
Also my brother and i talk at the same time in our rooms across the hall.
what is the reason for this?
i don't really know. some people just do this. lots of people do it less and less as they get older though.

How can I make myself leave my dorm room (in college) when I live by myself?
I have a hard time going out when I can just crash and lay around in my dorm room where I live by myself. When I live with other people I never do that as I don't like being stuck in the same room with someone all day so it forces me out to go do things. But now that I have my own room I have a hard time going out, not really being forced to go out so how can I break this bad habit of crashing all day doing nothing?
Get rid of things like games consoles or tv in your room so you wont have as much to do inside. Then you will want to go out more :)
Your college should have some services available to you nearby such as a sports centre and restaurants and clubs. Go out to bars and other social gatherings, involve yourself with strangers. If this seems too much at once, just go down the corridor and knock on a neighbor's door. Explain that you just wanted to know who lived next door to you and ask their name and so on. Getting to know people and making friends is really the first step. From what you have said, you make it sound like you are pretty lonely. Don't forget you are there to study but a healthy social life contributes to the whole student life and experience.
Paint the walls and leave while it's drying so you don't get sick.

What are the impacts of innovation and technology on the cost of production?
They make the amount of resources needed per unit lower. Example, if you can employ a piece of software to do something ten people used to do, your costs go down.
What is the relationship between average and marginal productivity?
How do changes in average and marginal productivity affect the cost of production?
Marginal productivity affects the cost of the next unit produced. If it is higher or lower than the previous average, the average productivity mathematically changes slightly as well.

Does my friend need a speech therapist?
She has a good vocabulary and she is quite smart and grasps things fast but she can't speak even one sentence without using a million ahhs and umms and fillers like "you know" or "that/ this thing" and she mixes words too.
For instance if she wanted to say " I went shopping with x and y today" she would say something like "today x and me and even y ahh umm when whats that ... shopping"
but sometimes she speaks fluently without any errors. how can I help her out?
This sounds more like a neurological problem than a speech problem per se.
~Dr. B.~
If it wasn't un-PC I'd say it sounds like she needs a smack on the head - all that dithering would drive you mad!
Maybe she has no confidence is being listened to? Have you tried telling her to just think what she wants to say and say it out straight?
No, a speech therapist is more used for enunciation of words, not for bad grammar.
She's probably nervous...are you close friends? Is she shy?

Why do cults like to marry 15 years old girls?
Like in some cults of Christianity, they are taught to marry real early, legally, they like to have them married at exactly at 18 or their parents sign some paper saying they can marry at like 16 or something like that.
So why do people like to marry the 15 year olds?
Because they are compliant and usually have not developed any sense of self by that age. They are easier to lie to about "love" because they are still innocent enough to believe that an abuser really loves them.
It could be from a number of things. Religion, culture, pleasure and what you think is right and wrong. Some people believe that you should marry and have as many kids as you can to support reproduction. Some people believe that girls turn into women at the age of 16. Other's believe it's 18. And people like me, believe it's when you hit puberty. Some people marry young girls, and even have MULTIPLE wives, for the simple fact of pleasuring themselves, or because it is a tradition from where they came from.
That's because most cults (especially religious ones) are founded and/or led by a sex pervert, addict, or some other type of sexual wacko. Examples are: Joseph Smith, Jim Jones, and David Koresh.
Because there is something mentally wrong with them.

Are any of the G20 Countries operating in a surplus, or all they all in debt?
h l ? ?! :)
China and India seem to be in the positive, but not expanding as they want.
Banks bought bad loans around the world.

Hello anyone? please read my dilemma please? pls pls pls pls pls pls!! i really just need an opinion.?
I am a person who can control her feelings/emotions, for example i became attached to someone, its not that hard for me to move on, i can always rationalize and control things, but this time im having a hard time fixing things in my head. i became really attach to a person that im not intending to be attached to.. its a relationship that was for fun at first, but later on i became committed to it, but not because i love the person but because i enjoy it so much and the person really like me and because of outside pressure too.. i convinced myself that i really like the person and this is what i want for life (but deep down its not true) its really really stupid i know! so dont judge anymore pls.. and now im having a hard time rationalizing things because its a big thing! it would've been better if i didn't commit myself to it but i did. what do you think should i do?? i can't seem to forgive myself and move on because of this...
You have already made your decision. My opinion is this, would the friend consider you a friend if you refused to commit? If the friend would think less then I wouldn't consider him/her a friend. A consistent liking requires no commitment, it precipitates its own sustenance. I only respond so vaguely because the reasons provided for this commitment have been supplied so vaguely.
This was a bit confusing but....
How important is this to you? Could you live with out this in your life?
The best thing to do when you feel this way is to cut it out of your life completely and move on. The pain will be there for a while but time heals all wounds. It will eventually stop depressing you.
hmmmm, sounds like a situation i had a few months ago. well i can say from experience that it is really easy to get attached to someone you don't mean to, especially if it was for fun at first (thats what happened to me). my situation rather worked itself out, and there's no reason that yours wouldn't do the same either.
but im a bit confused. are you with this person or not? or are you trying to move on? or?
Learn the lesson of always being true to yourself, sorry, but now you pay the price.
If you like it, don't move on. Stay with them, be happy for what you have.

How do you become successful?
My family as had a few successful members and others well not so much. I just wanted to prove myself just as successful as they are and buy myself something that's great and expensive or at least do something great. Anybody got any ideas?
First, define your idea of successful. :) Success to me is peace of mind and being True to my Self, not trying to impress others. When I am True to Myself, I am more able to be True to those around me.
Be Yourself. It's Priceless.... turn your mind into a Lamborghini. :)
Be the best [insert your name] you can be. Forget about your family members. Success is a combination of very many things. But it all comes down to you being proud of you and being the best you that you can be!
do well in school; get gr8 gcses, a-levels, go uni, do degrees and then get a gd job. well if u do gd in uni and stuff, ur bound 2 find a gd job. And jus have paitence, yh
Watch what unsuccessful people do - then don't do that.
Go to college

What are some effective ways with dealing with immature people?
Ignore them.. Or be immature yourself.. That can be real fun:p
The company I worked for, we had a woman who was so immature it was actually unreal. We got so fed up with it that for her birthday we all pitched in and brought her diapers, a pacifier and a home made card that said to GROW UP! inside.
No it's not nice and really wasn't the right the right way to go about it. But it worked, she actually seek-ed help in her immaturity. She did get better in time, we could actually deal with her more.
A good backhand strike to the crotch, (with the knuckles hitting the balls or vangita) followed by an up elbow strike to the face by opposite arm in fluent motion, then hook to smash, knee strike, hip throw, then whilst the subject is on the floor in pain, claw the entity mouth and pull the silly cretan along the office floor for utter humiliation.
I know this might sound a bit immature as well, but... ignore them.
Or at least not put your energy into them until they make the connection that their immature behaviour leads to your disinterest and that if they want you interested again, they should mature at least a bit.
Ask them:Did you ever think of growing up anytime soon? Or just say GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
at least try to discipline one and if it doesn't work then you should give him/her a warning
two middle fingers, straight up..........no waiting.

NON-FEMINISTS, When modern Feminists engage in profanity, do you suspect...?
There will be impending violence within a matter of hours?
I note that there is a correlation between the rise in acceptance of sexual battery of men (it has been made acceptable) and the rise in feminism (which has worked hard to ridicule men at all levels).
Perhaps so.
Non-feminists produce much more insulting and profain messages than feminists. Why question feminist voilence? Do you consider it worse than non-feminist voilence? Can non-feminists be voilent against women so? Is this an admission of normalness for male voilence and not female. Of all the talk of equality before the law have non-feminist been stricken by the same tunnel vision they accuse some in the feminist movement of.
I absolutely can not stand the way a lot of women talk today. They cuss more than any 50 men I know! It's degrading, shows lack of social skills, lack of intelligence, lack of communication skills and lack of vocabulary...not to mention lacking the ability to get your point across using intelligent vocabulary.
Not only that...they don't care who they cuss in front of! Little old ladies, little old men, their kids, other's kids!
I'm not a prude, and I won't say that I don't cuss, because I do...but only in situations where I know it is accepted and I know that the people I'm talking to will not be offended.
However, the same goes for men. They lack the respect of others when they use their vulgarity and foul language in front of people that would/might be offended by it.
Right, that's why there are so many "feminists" in jail....
Oh wait, there aren't. Gee, that's weird. And come to think of it, I hadn't read anything about feminists using violence at all. Huh.
And the only place it's "acceptable" to sexually batter a man is in a men's prison. Won't find any feminists there, either.
I think it does. In my experience, whenever a feminist starts using profanity with me, it means she's about to try and kick my chauvenistic, sexist ***. Never fails to make me laugh hysterically, which of course only aggrevates the problem...
ROFL big butch feminist biker chick vs 6'3" Coal Miner, makes for a good spectacle let me tell you!
You're less attractive when drenched in hypocrisy..
I've seen more profanity from the non-fems!!!
Be fair, man.
*But a non-feminist who blames feminists for doing what the non-feminists do more often is being a hypocrite*
I don't belong to any group..I like to play fair.
Gaspari, you sound like a timid child whenever you talk about feminists/feminism. People curse, feminist or not.
I liked Gwennie's answer. lol
No, I don't. Profanity doesn't scare me.
U R SENSITIVE LIKE A PENISI HEAD AFTER ORGASM
Dark Knight: ???????????
Anyway, to answer your question: no. :)
Goddamn vagina choir I'm getting mad right now
F*ck no!

In my day, we swatted sewer mouth ladies on the bottom!

Is it possible to have knowledge or skills in your dreams that you normally don
if so do you believe it is possible to keep any of that knowledge ( or skills) when you wake up
Yes, when you%26#039;re awake you only have access you around 12% of your mind, and the rest is subconscious. So you are missing a huge part of your abilities when awake, but in the dream world you have amazing creativity. You can actually sing an amazing song that even rhymes, without even thinking about it. The trick is to remember it when you wake up. You can also learn and practice things in dreams such as public speaking or acting. However you could play the guitar without effort in the dream, but when you awaken you can%26#039;t, so its a bit limited with physical subjects. Dreams are of the mind so anything that is an idea, or comes from thoughts, can be transfered back into the real world if your 12% can handle it.
Some of the most important inventions, songs, stories etc came from dreams, such as Paul McCartney%26#039;s %26quot;Yesterday%26quot;, Mary Shelley%26#039;s %26quot;Frankenstein%26quot;, Robert Louis Stevenson dreamed of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Otto Loewi won the nobel prize for the theory of chemical transmission of the nervous impulses that he received from one dream. Elias Howe invented the sewing machine after a dream, and Jack Nicklaus found a new way to hold his golf club.
The list goes on with people that credit their success to the dream world. David Foster has an amazing ability to access his unconscious mind while awake when sitting at the piano. He says its just stupid, it just comes out and he plays it with no thought. If he did think about it, then his tiny 12% would get in the way and the unconscious mind wouldn%26#039;t flow freely out of him. This is usually how great artists and writters explain their abilities, it just comes out.
There is also a way you can harness this ability by realizing you are dreaming, while you are dreaming. Its called lucid dreaming. You%26#039;ll be in a dream, then you%26#039;ll say, hey this isn%26#039;t real, this is a dream! Then you can go around the dream world and actually access your subconscious mind directly. For example if you are a painter, you can go to a museum of art in your dream world and each piece on the wall will be of your creation. Find one you really like and memorize it before you wake up.
For those that cannot lucid dream, there is always the twilight zone. This is the time between dreaming and waking up where you still see and hear things, but are aware of the real world as you lay in bed. Everyone does this unless they are awakened by an alarm clock. Most great ideas come from 3am, because allot of people wake up at that time of night and have wonderful access to their unconscious mind, if they don%26#039;t move. You want to have an intention, such as I want to see a painting, and just let it show you what it wants to show. Don%26#039;t force it, but allow it.
We all have great untouched genius, its just a matter of accessing it.
Children can access it better than most adults because they haven%26#039;t been told to grow up, which really means, let go of your imagination. This is a huge mistake, as stated by great minds in the past....
%26quot;Imagination is more important than knowledge.%26quot; -Albert Einstein
%26quot;Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.%26quot; -Pablo Picasso
So the greatest minds understand this, and now so do you. Happy Dreaming
Well, first of all - anything is possible in your dreams. You can even fly. But don%26#039;t expect to be able to fly once you wake up; that is anatomically impossible for us human beings.
There have been studies towards learning abilities while sleeping, and dreaming is part of that. Generally your dreams are re-runs of the day that passed, and parts of your imagination to fill them up. You have several dreams each night of which you remember at least 2, maybe 3 if you%26#039;re very lucky. It has been thought that while your dreams re-run everything you%26#039;ve seen and heard that day and place it in your mind, your brain will also continue to learn while you sleep - in your dreams. No, literally, in your dreams.
So, in a way, it is possible to learn knowledge or skills in your dreams that you didn%26#039;t have the day before, but will continue to have the next day because your dreams helped you develop them.
There have been many times when I was writing something and %26quot;slept it over%26quot;, that the solution came to me the next morning thanks to my dreams.
Well you might THINK you have skills in dreams that you don%26#039;t have in real life, but really if you can do something in a dream, you can do it in real life too, maybe you just don%26#039;t remember seing someone do it when you are awake. So to answer your question, no.
I%26#039;ve been able to fly in my dreams since I was a child. Whenever I get into trouble or am scared in a dream, I just start running really fast until my feet leave the ground and I fly away. I%26#039;ve been trying to do this in my waking hours for most of my adult life unsuccessfully, so I know that skill doesn%26#039;t carry over into real life.

Should modern Feminists be allowed to board internationally-bound aircrafts..?
Considering the danger they pose to others?
It's not just the danger they pose to others... think of the phallic shape of the vehicles they are entering!!!
It's all a patriarchal conspiracy, I tell ya!
Wow, you really have this strange, irrational fear of women your presume are feminists.
And how, exactly, are they going to tell a feminist from a non-feminists? And what dangers do they pose exactly? Or are you just trolling until your mom calls you to supper?
Well I would rather sit next to a feminist because chances are good of having an intelligent conversation. This could not be said about you or the rest of the ranters.
I'd take 600 feminists over 1 suicide bomber religious zealot.
I'm crazy like that.
Only to Africa and Asia so they can see the real problems they should be focusing on.
Not when a NEO-NAZI like you and your friends are on board. We tend to be very selective of a company we keep.
What are you talking about? If you ask a dumb question you need to at least explain what its about so we can give you dumb answers.
I thought feminists flew cargo...
No because then the aircraft wouldn't be able to take off due to weight limit.
lol troll.
And that danger would be what, again?
