Where is a place where a kid can't be a kid?
I can't think of any one place where a kid (child) cannot be and act as a kid (child).
However, there are many locations where expectations are higher that children develop impulse control, manners, and acceptable behaviors. Some examples were expectations are higher for children to behave as 'little adults' include:
- churches
- restaurants
- official functions, such as weddings
- funeral homes

Why do people hate other people?
People hate other people because the person they hate is either not very nice to them, or they have a bad history. People should get over their hatred and stop being mad at everyone all the time. People should just get along, because life is short. Why waste time being angry, upset, or hostile to other people. Enjoy your life while you can because you only get one of them.

Hatred is intrinsic to the human animal. It's in our nature to become extreme, and to try to curtail it is to suppress it . We live in a world now, where buzzwords and mantras and breath prayers and cliches and Drew Pinsky and gender studies courses, are being installed like fail safes in people from their first day of kindergarten, e.g. the "bad touch" rundown. In short, postmodernists show us everything wrong with the world, then tell us to be mature in our responses to it...but, ultimately, people are people, it doesn't matter from whence they sprang or what positions they hold. The Primal is the Real; whether it's a behavior for polite company, or righteous in any way, whether "good" people should hate, begs the question, really. All creatures respond "emotionally", on some base level, including and especially Man. If you scratch the surface on the thin facade of fun in others, some of the most mature, polite human beings boomerang into maniacs (the old Tom Green Show on MTV, proved that mind-numbing immaturity alone, can bring out the beast in almost all). And, beyond initial, knee jerk anger, there are lies, grudges and bitterness and a deep well of hate. Where did it come from? The answer varies, but it's too easy to say, "from within the hating individual". Another modern fallacy states that others "do not make us" do anything, but the behaviorism of Skinner easily disproves this, and even est bottoms out with each of us as machines, responding to sensory data. Thus, one hates because he wasn't loved and another hates because she was abused, and another hates because the world is frightening and another, because someone was rude. Hate, the dark of the jungle (or sin, for the faith-based), is stardeep within us, a part--an unwelcome part, granted--of The Human Condition. As far as social interactions, i.e. how we "should" act with respect to the differences we encounter, is not relevant to the question. The question is, "Why do people hate other people?" The answer is, "Because there are other people...and, They are, by definition, not Us."
Here are some things you can do:
- get a hobby - try different things to see what you like doing best
- try working puzzles - crossword, sudoku, whatever appeals to you
- get out of the house - go for a walk, or drive to the store and go shopping
- volunteer somewhere and make a difference in someone else's life
- change it up - find new and different ways to do things (brush your teeth with your opposite hand, drive home from work a different way, etc.)
- make something - find a way to be creative (art, writing, even cooking)
Why do some people want to put mustard on everything?
People want to put mustard on everything since it is the starting point to something bigger and greater.
Why do people pick on or bully ginger people?
People sometimes pick on gingers because there aren't all that many of them so they stand out sometimes quite a bit. It's actually quite immature and sad that some gingers or other hair coloured people are picked on because of their hair colour. I heard on the news a couple years back that there were a couple of redheads at a highschool that were being picked on to the point where they were being kicked from 20-60 times a week or day (can't remember the exactness). People also say that all gingers are mean as a steriotype. This is very immature because some gingers are the nicest people I have ever met.
So please, don't be the person that bullies someone just because of their haircolour. It is extremely immature and highly disrespectful of other people. Treat people and any living thing with respect. If you have bullied someone because of their hair/skin colour, think back. How do you think you made that person(s) feel? Would you like to feel that way?
They probably felt terrible inside because of you.
Why would you even do that to someone? It's just as bad as breaking them in half.
The reason why is because people believe it to be okay to pick on those different than themselves in any way. For red headed people, since their hair color is so distinct and usually not as common, people feel better about themselves pointing them out and drawing attention to how they deviate from what's "normal", and therefore, taking any unwanted attention from themselves.
Does culture affect individual personality?
Yes.
Culture provides many of the categories and ideals that individuals strive to adopt (or else to avoid) in their lives. Whether to be aggressive or passive, stoic or easily excitable, independent or collaborative, all of these attributes (and many more) are influenced by cultural images of what successful or interesting or nice people should be like.
Often there are specific images for that person's group (society, ethnicity, gender, class, age, etc). So there are certain ways to have an "artistic" personality and how to be "feminine" and so on, which are often specific to a particular time, place, and social group.
Often the particular categories and attributes are so pervasive it can be hard to perceive them in your own immediate surroundings. It is easier to see them looking back at accounts of historical people or cross-culturally.
That is actually a good sign, you know that "you" have hate inside yourself. This can be caused by something you resent, or maybe you have some family issues that is hard for you to understand. It might help if you talk to someone you trust and look up to like a teacher, mother, father, sister, grandma, grandpa, school nurse, therapist etc. If you keep this hate inside of you it can cause ulcers and many other illnesses. Don't hold in your anger (punch out your pillow) it's a way to release some anger or talk to the person you are angry at.
A sanctimonious posture is always, by definition, unmerited.
The adjective sanctimonious describes a person who behaves in a pious, righteous way, a person who believes, or pretends to believe, and seeks to convince others, that they are better than others when it comes to ethical behaviour, religious beliefs, and so on.
Just as truly honest people feel no need to go around telling everyone how honest they are, and truly kind people don't make a big deal of their kindness, so truly ethical, highly-principled people don't tell the world that this is what they are. They simply show it by their actions.
Those who tell the world how good they are are doing so for some personal gain; whether it's financial, or to have people respect them or like them, or for some other gain, they are bragging about their personal sanctity because they want something.
A person who lives a life of true sanctity doesn't brag about it; true goodness demonstrates itself: a virtuous person shows their goodness with every word and action.
When you meet someone who is anxious to tell you how good they are, in any sense, watch out.
Like adults, children are individuals and some are more gullible than others. As a general rule, young children are more trusting and thus more gullible than older children, but even older children can be "taken in" by others.
Why does your manager allow people to answer questions stupidly?
The idea of a 'Wiki' - is that anyone can contribute. By that same rule - you are welcome to change an answer that you know is false !
Unfortunately, there isn't an easy way. You just have to say that you need to talk about something and "is there a place to go where we won't be disturbed"? They will understand. I agree when I first learned that my child was being molested, I was devastated. However, I was so glad that she found the courage to tell me. Her predator is behind bars and we are trying to rebuild. If the parent is your abuser, talk to a relative or someone you trust. And/or simply go down to the police station and tell. I have read several books and don't claim to be an expert, but "guilt" is what keeps you from telling and what keeps you under your predator's thumb. Report it now. This can alter your life but like anything else with time, counseling and guidance you will heal. God Bless.
What is the term used for people who worry what others think of them whether it is good or bad?
The term is "people pleaser" or "approval seeker." These are individuals who are overly concerned with gaining the approval and acceptance of others, often at the expense of their own needs and well-being.
Are there separate IQ tests for different age groups?
Yes there are separate IQ tests for different age groups. Very young children will be given a different I.Q. test than a child of school age, the younger the child the less reliable the I.Q. test.
Once entering adulthood (16+) another test will be used.
The scores one gets on a test are not directly comparable to people of a different age, for example: If a 16 year old got an I.Q. test score of 110, and a 25 year old also scored 110, this does not mean they scored equally on the test.
If the 25 year old were to have answered all questions exactly as the 16 year old did, they would have gotten a much lower score than the 16 year old. This is because, even in the same test, people are compared to others of the same age group, not all takers of the test.
The mostly commonly used tests for school aged children is the WISC (Wechsler Intelligence scale for children) and for adults it is the WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale).
People ask a general question like the one you were asked to be nice, to get to know someone, and to start a conversation. There is nothing wrong with her asking this because she is just trying to get to know you.
What is the difference between belief and attitude?
Attitude can be considered the sum of beliefs. A person can have many beliefs about a phenomenon (positive and negative). This person will have an attitude toward that phenomenon based on the overall evaluation of her beliefs.

What are the characteristics of good chemistry between two people?
Answer When two people have good chemistry, they usually see things in life as one. They really get along well and are usually friends long before becoming lovers. They feel comfortable with each other, and there is never a need to have people around them as the chemistry that they share they want to keep.
Describe a time when your workload was heavy and how you handled it?

1. The material is boring.
2. They aren't being rewarded for learning.
3. They see it as a chore.
4. They have more interesting things to do.
