.... no one can read minds. That fact makes it of the utmost importance to be able to let your mate in on what you are thinking. How can he or she possibly do what you want them to do if he or she does not know what it is that you are wanting. Always present thoughts and ideas as clearly as possible. Sarcasm is often a pitfall for communication. When a person states an idea one way but means it in a totally different way, it is no wonder that he or she will be misunderstood.

That is not the case with depression. Depression over loss can be a serious problem.

.... perception and interpretation of information. Therefore, having many people who can interpret things in different ways, it is difficult for somebody to say what is good or bad, and in the same time to have his opinion shared by everyone. Trying to classify, we might come up with a result that might be true or not, depending on the point of view. In other words everything is relative. Paradoxically, when we start thinking we, we discover that we actually know almost nothing, or that there are many things left, to be known. On the other hand, the more we know, the more we want to know. This desire of knowing more and more might be e .....

.... roles completely disregarded the needs of educated and motivated business women and scientific women. Actually, the subtle message that society gave was that the educated woman was actually selfish and evil. I remember in particular the searing effect on me, who once intended to be a psychologist, of a story in McCall’s in December 1949 called "A Weekend with Daddy." A little girl who lives a lonely life with her mother, divorced, an intellectual know-it-all psychologist, goes to the country to spend a weekend with her father and his new wife, who is wholesome, happy, and a good cook and gardener. And there is love and laughter and growing .....

.... triumphs of prominent celebrities. In other words, the definition of news has been. The two sides on the ability of the mass media to fulfill it’s role recognized by the Bill of Rights can be categorized into either the supporters of Jarol Manhiem’s essay on the ineptness of the media to realize it’s privileged role or the supporters of Douglas Rushkoff’s essay on the ability of American people to see past the distractive sensationalism of modern day mass media. The debate that was engaged in class rested on these two contradicting sides. On one side there is Manhiem. Arguing modern day mass media is profit and deadline driv .....

.... and the negative appear positive (William Lutz, "The World of Doublespeak." 188). There are many ways that parents can explain to their children that they are getting divorced. Children usually know when their parents aren't happy and may feel confused about the situation. Barb Clark, a divorce counselor and psychologist, suggests different ways to communicate to your children about divorce.

.... For a girl, a best friend is one in whom she can confide and receive advice in a variety of areas. Girls cry on each other’s shoulders about topics ranging from boys to having nothing to wear.

It is a known fact that women live longer and deal with stress better due to talking about their problems rather than acting impulsively like men. Bonds with a girl’s confidant are very strong and are hardly breakable. Honestly, a boy’s relationship with his cronies mystifies me. I believe they have the same .....

.... it effects all people. The police is a government service to all people, but all people do not feel they are being serviced. Not everyone is satisfied with the conduct of the police. Why do people feel that police are crossing boundaries that they should not be? This will be observed from four different aspects in which police are capable of exceeding the parameters of their power and authority: police and use of discretionary enforcement, “Police justice�, police harassment, and the unwarranted use of police authority. Police are allowed to and must use personal discretion in their determination of law enforcement. Unlike a j .....
