What else can I help you with?
How many people in the world live on a dollar or less per day?
This is a tough question but the answer would have to be plus minus 60% of the world. Shocking hay?!
How many people in the US have been convicted of cannibalism?
There is no exact number of people in the US who have been convicted of cannibalism, as it is an extremely rare crime. Cannibalism is typically considered a form of murder and is illegal in all states. Cases of cannibalism are often highly publicized due to their shocking nature, but they are statistically very uncommon.
What percentage of animals die from being tested?
Statistics show that almost 99.5% of animals in the world are abused/tested on atleast once in their life time. This is shocking especially coming from an animal lover like myself. I am disgusted in the people who would do such a thing to a poor, innocent, helpless animal. Sorry but 90% of the animals are bugs and it his highly unlikely people test on/abuse bugs. And abuse is such a brod term it's hard to relay on.
Why do we study sociology?
Sociology is the study of the social part of us, the pattern of interaction with other people which is necessary to our very existence. Sociology has been described as 'the scientific study of human group behavior' and 'the application of scientific methods of inquiry to the puzzles of social life.' We all participate in any number of social groups, many of which overlap. Sociologists study how and why these groups interact with each other and how the interactions affect their members. Such analyses not only yield a clearer understanding of society and its components, but also allow sociologists to see both the causes and the possible remedies for our social problems. Why study sociology? Sociology is one of the liberal arts (and I would argue the most inherently interesting). Sociology prepares one for a lifetime of change, developing one's appreciation of diversity, love of learning, writing and study skills, as well as a knowledge base about human behavior, social organization, and culture. If you are the type who doesn't necessarily follow the crowd (but are fascinated by their behavior), the type who is truly interested in what is going on in the world, then the world of sociology and the subjects found therein should interest if not fascinate you. Secondly and most seriously, the field helps us look more objectively at the society in which we live. It directs attention to how the parts of society fit together as well as the causes and consequences of social change. In modern industrial-bureaucratic societies we are faced with an increasingly complex and rapidly changing social milieu. If not a crisis, some conditions identified and noted by sociologists are cause for concern. Many of these topics will be addressed in future postings and questions. A study of sociology provides the conceptual tools and methodologys for understanding the contemporary scene. By focusing on the external constraints to social action it helps us better understand ourselves and the motivations of others around us. While we are all creatures of our society, we are also all co-creators--sociology provides the tools so that we can take a more active role in that creation, a role that is essential if we hope to achieve a more just world and egalitarian society.HERE ARE SOME CLASSICAL ANSWERS to the question:(From Invitation to Sociology: A Humanistic Perspective Peter L. Berger Anchor Books 1963, pp. 1-24 -- gender modified)--------The sociologist . . . is someone concerned with understanding society in a disciplined way.----S/he will naturally be interested in the events that engage people's ultimate beliefs, their moments of tragedy and grandeur and ecstasy. But s/he will also be fascinated by the commonplace, the everyday.----What interests us is the curiousity that grips any sociologist in front of a closed door behind which there are human voices. If s/he is a good sociologist, s/he will want to open that door, to understand those voices. Behind each closed door s/he will anticipate some new facet of human life not yetperceived and understood.----The fascination of sociology lies in the fact that its perspective makes us see in a new light the very world in which we have lived all our lives.----[T]here is a deceptive simplicity and obviousness about some sociological investigations. One reads them, nods at the familiar scene, remarks that one has heard all this beforeand don't people have better things to do than to waste their time on truisms--until one is suddenly brought up against an insight that radically questions everything one had previously assumed about this familiar scene. This is the point at which one begins to sense the excitement of sociology.----It can be said that the first wisdom of sociology is this--things are not what they seem. This too is a deceptively simple statement. It ceases to be simple after a while. Social reality turns out to have many layers of meaning.The discovery of each new layer changes the perception of the whole.----People who like to avoid shocking discoveries, who prefer to believe that society is just what they were taught in Sunday School, who like the safety of the rules and the maxims of what Alfred Schuetz has called the "world-taken-for-granted," should stay away from sociology.----People who feel no temptation before closed doors, who have no curiousity about human beings, who are content to admire scenery without wondering about the people who live in those houses on the other side of that river, should probably stay away from sociology. They will find it unpleasant or, at any rate, unrewarding.----People who are interested in human beings only if they can change, convert or reform them should also be warned, for they will find sociology much less useful than they hoped. And people whose interest is mainly in their own conceptual constructions will do just as well to turn to the study of little white mice.----Sociology will be satisfying, in the long run, only to those who can think of nothing more entrancing than to watch people and understand things human.-Carve Cut Edit
What are the Sunni Islams?
we have to mention the appearance of sufism in Islam religion to understand the relation between Sunni and sufi. among the companions of the prophet , Ali is known particular for his eloquent exposition of gnostic truths and the stages of the spiritual life. his words in this domain comprise an exhaustible treasury of wisdom. among the works of the other companions which have survived there is not the great deal of material that concerns this type of question, among the associates of Ali such as Salman Farsi , Uways Qurani, Kumayl Ibn ziyad, Rushayd Hajari, Maytham Tammar and Rabi Ibn Khaytam. however there are figures have been considered by the majority of Sufis , Sunni and shiite Alike< as the heads of their spiritual chain(Silsilah) after Ali. after this group there appeared others such as tawus Yanmani, Shayban Rai, Malik ibn Dinar, Ibrahim Adham and Shaqiq Balkhi, who were considered by the people to be saints and men of God. these men,without publicly talking about gnosis and sufism, appered externally as ascetics and did not hide the fact that they had been initiated by the early group and had undergone spiritual training under them. after them there appeared at the end of the 2nd/8th century and beginning of the 3rd//9th century men such as Bayazid Bastami, Maruf Karkhi, Junayd Baghdadi, and others like them, who followed the sufi path and openly declared their connection with sufism and gnosis. they divulged certain esoteric sayings based on spiritual vision which, because of their repellent external form, brought upon them the condemnation of some of the jurists and theologians . some of them were imprisoned , flogged and even occasionally killed. Even so, this group persisted and continued its activities despite its opponents. in this manner , gnosis and the"Way" or Triqah and Sufism, conyinued to grow until in the 7th/13th and 8th/14th centuries it reached the height of its expansion and power. since then, some times stronger and at other times less so, it has continued its existence to this very day within the Islamic world. Gnosis or sufism as we observe it today first appeared in the Sunni world and later among the Shiites. the first men who openly declared themselves to be sufis and gnostics and were recognized as spiritual masters of sufi orders, apparently followed Sunnism in the branches or Furu of Islamic Law. many of masters who followed them and who expanded the sufi orders were also sunnis in their following of the law. even so these masters traced their spiritual chain , which in spiritual life is like the genealogical chain of a person, through their previous masters to Ali. also the results of their visions and intuitions as transmitted to us convey mostly truths concerning divine unity and the stations of the spiritul life which are found in the sayings of Ali and Other shiite Imams. this can be seen provided we are not affected by some of the striking and even sometimes shocking expressions used by these Sufi masters and consider the total content of their teachings with deliberations and patience . Sanctity resulting from initiation into the spiritual path, which sufis consider s the perfection of man, is the state which, according to Shiite belief is possessed in its fullness by the imam and through the radiance of his being cab be attained by his true followers. and the spiritual pole(Qutb) whise existence at all times is considered necessary bu all the sufis- as well as thw attributes associated with him.
