Do you get more nervous when you expect something to happen or when it is unexpected?
If you are referring to "nervous" as anxious, then it is definitely when it is expected beforehand.
Anxiety develops in a mind that has already thought over consequences of actions or events that have unfolded in the past, are presently, or will unfold in the future.
The human body develops stress and anxiety when they're given adequate time to think something over logically before it happens. If something unexpected occurs, there's no time for the brain to recognize and reason it to be a threat. If it doesn't have time to process what is happening, then emotion and anxiety occurs only after the event has passed.
A buildup of anxiety and nervousness occurs on a larger scale when it is expected.

How do ethics affect your life?
Ethics is not just knowing right from wrong, but understanding the factors behind choices we make every day, especially when right vs. wrong is less clear.
We are bombarded today with different types of ethics. As just some examples:
- Work Ethics
- Industry Ethics
- Medical Ethics
- Bio-technology ethics
- Nursing Ethics
- etc.
Whether a teen, adult, or senior citizen, we all face ethical decisions every day. One need not be a professional -- or even be employed -- to come face to face with decisions involving ethics.
As an example: Tommy always stops at a corner store before going to his high school. The store is owned by an older couple who rely on the store's income to pay their bills and pay for medical expenses. But, many students find the older man to be grouchy and stern and few students like him much. The woman seems nice, except that she moves slowly which annoys many of the kids. Today when Tommy pays for his orange juice, 2 granola bars, and the latest sci-fi magazine, he hands over a $10.00 bill and impatiently waits while the woman 'makes change'. Then, one at a time, she counts the bills back into his hand. Tommy guesses his change will be about $4.90 but the woman counts back $14.50 in change, and turns to wipe up a counter. For a second, Tommy thinks of just taking it. But--- he quickly changes his mind. He realizes that stores rely on income, especially small privately owned stores. He turns back and tells the woman she gave him too much change.
As another example: Mary Sue wants to get a new outfit; she has a big date coming up. But her mom won't pay to buy anything new, telling Mary Sue she has to make do with one of the many outfits in her closet. A friend, though, tells Mary Sue she should take money from her savings account, buy a new dress, hide it from her mother, wear the dress for her date--then-- "Just return it!" the friend says. Mary Sue thinks that's a grand idea and goes the very next day to buy the dress, which she hides at her friend's house. The day after her date, she takes the receipt and dress and tries to return it to the store. But the cashier notices the white marks of deodorant on the underarms and smells perfume coming from the fabric. She knows the dress was worn. But instead of stating this, the cashier first says, "We can't accept back clothing that's been worn." At that moment, Mary Sue has her last chance to be ethical. She already broke ethical rules along the way, but this is a last chance. Does she admit she wore it? Or, does she try to argue and become nasty?
Medical and nursing ethics often center around either "difficult cases" or -- professional mistakes. A difficult case might be what to with a premie infant born with an unusual chronic condition which is known to result in death. A recent case in Canada involved a child under 2 years old who was afflicted with the same terminal condition that killed his brother 3 years before. This boy was on a ventilator and would not be able to breathe if it was removed. Due to long term medical costs (primarily), the hospital petitioned a Canadian court for permission to remove the ventilator and let the boy die. The parents argued that no one but God has the right to dictate when death should occur, and that removing the breathing tube would result in a frightening and painful 4 minutes of suffocation before the child would go unconscious, and then die. A hospital in the United States agreed to assume the boy's care, rather than the proposed Canadian decision to let the child die. So, very often, ethical decisions in medicine revolve around costs and payment, as well as personal ethics.
For medical or nursing mistakes, ethics is a little different. Professionals must have strong professional ethics, as well as personal ethics. That means, when a mistake occurs, professional and personal ethics should be strong enough that the professional is willing to admit the mistake. Most mistakes in hospitals and nursing homes would (or could) go unnoticed and unreported-- unless the patient or family is very aware, or unless the mistake leads to death and the death is suspicious. Probably the biggest mistake is that a patient was prescribed or was given (or both) the wrong medication. This could easily be covered up, if a doctor or nurse choose to do so. But, instead, a nurse or doctor can basically report their own wrong act. By practicing good ethics, the patient can be observed and treated if the wrong medicine causes problems later.
The same ethics apply to all employees, in any job, including jobs for teenagers. We all know people who show up for work, punch in on the clock, then-- disappear for hours. Maybe they know a storage room where they sleep. Or, maybe they know where cameras won't catch them being lazy and not working. Some air traffic controllers recently (April 2011) got in trouble because they were caught sleeping on the job. But whether in an airport tower, or in a fast food restaurant, some employees can try to beat the system and earn money without doing their work. This is called "poor work ethics"-- and it's a form of cheating that ends up "costing" everyone (not just that employer or company). Employers can't run effectively when employees don't have strong personal and work ethics.
The examples go on and on. A key to understanding ethics is to watch for and hear the voice inside yourself when you are in situations that you *could* do something wrong and think you wouldn't be caught doing it. If your thoughts before doing an action make you feel nervous, afraid, afraid of being caught, or feeling that you'll "get one over" on someone else, it's likely you are breaking an ethical boundary. It's more than just your conscience or knowing right from wrong. Ethics involves doing what is right, even if you temporarily feel you'd be doing better to do something wrong. But, people find that when they do follow strong ethical principles--including admitting when we've done the wrong thing or make a serious mistake-- that they actually feel much better about themselves. There is a particular kind of pride involved when you maintain strong personal ethics in all areas of life, whether at home, school, in a job or in a relationship.
What does it mean when someone is holding necklace above their hand?
Holding a necklace above their hand can indicate a desire to showcase or get a better look at the necklace. It may also be a gesture to show the necklace to someone or to examine its details more closely.

no, not at all, they are just act based on logic instead of emotions, and only when we think that YOU are worth it to know about our emotions, then you will know about our emotions (not listening makes u not worth to hear about our emotions, and saying stuff like this neither) and we do care about people we like, and we would go pretty far for them, but we need to keep up our reputation as cold robots ^^ nah jk but we dislike making decisions based on emotions and thus it appears we don't have them (we dislike it when people base decisions on emotions, because we don't understand them anymore on that point) we value logic way over emotions and thus we are able to solve difficult stuff, too bad love isn't a formula... because if it was it would make it a lot easier... and when people like YOU dont understand us, well then it is YOUR problem, not ours

Why do people choose victimization?
There can be many reasons that a person could be unwittingly vulnerable to victimization; the most obvious is a sense of self that feels that this is all they're worth; that this is what they deserve. Of course there could be many variations on this theme but the chronic 'victim' usually believes that the 'victimizer' is somehow in the right.

Why do people scream when they are angry?
Anger is an emotion that is very hard to control. Screaming is seen as a non-violent approach to releasing this emotion.
It is also an emotion that 'wants' to be exhibited to the person who made you angry, and so screaming is the non-physical alternative to clearly displaying anger.
How do you manage your unwillingness to compromise?
Comprimising is a useful human skill, that varies from one person to the next in terms of willingness to comprimise.
To comprimise, you must be able to find errors in both parties involved in the instance. Without this, you are not going to build an essential tolerance towards the other party.
For example, an argument. You must find where you have been wrong, as well as where the other party has been wrong. For a two way argument to break out, both of you must have made errors.
Be sure to look into these errors that you have made, and as you do, your comprimising will become a lot more manageable, and a comprimisation may be met in most circumstances.
What do you need to study human behavior?
You can study the human behavior through observation. Noticing certain patterns when someone gets excited or when someone is sad, or even when someone is lying. And I believe the best way to study this is by observing a child or toddler, because they may not know how to talk, all they have is body language at raw instinct. When they want to be picked up they reach their arms out. Its not someone was there to teach them to do that. Its quite an amazing study actually. Hope I helped.
Is it okay for a woman to not have to be dependent on a man?
Yes, it is absolutely okay for a woman to be independent and not have to rely on a man for financial or emotional support. Women have the same right as men to lead autonomous and fulfilling lives based on their own choices and capabilities. Empowering women to be self-sufficient is essential for gender equality and personal growth.

How Migration 'does not bring happiness'?
The purpose of migration is not happiness. The purpose of migration is usually to find a better opportunity or better circumstances to live in. Neither of these things will produce happiness in themselves. It may be easier to create happiness for yourself if you have better opportunities or better circumstances but that is the responsibility of the individual. A person may be able to create some happiness for themselves whether they migrate or stay where they are.
