		A SOCIOLOGICAL SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY ^Votes:0 S OCIAL P SYCHOLOGY The social sciences are dedicated to understanding the human condition, ideally to the extent that the singular and collective behaviors of human beings can be understood and even predicted. Though their goals are identical in the abstract, these "sciences" differ in terms of their way of looking at things, the questions they ask, the methods they use in addressing these questions, and what they do with this information once they obtain it. Amid this multitude of social science disciplines is social psychology which, as can be inferred from its label, involves the ways in which both social and mental processes determine action. What, precisely, this means research-wise, however, remains a matter of historic debate both between and within the disciplines of psychology an Read More Go to Site

		Depression: Understanding Thoughts of Suicide ^Votes:0 A Rest Stop from Depression and Suicidal Thoughts Depression: Understanding Thoughts of Suicide by Stephen L. Bernhardt For many years I had suffered from depression and suicidal urges. I tried to determine why it was happening to me and what I could do to end my pain. The books I found were mostly statistical listings of who took their own life, their income brackets, and vocations. Personal accounts were specific to their situation and recounted little insight into why this was happening to me, or what I could do to end the intense pain. I am, what some would say, mildly manic depressive and have a family history that would support such a conclusion. But, this is not my story. This is an attempt to help those who are depressed with suicidal thoughts, better understand what they are going Read More Go to Site

		The Times of Our Lives: Investigations into Socio-chronology ^Votes:0 T IMES OF OUR L IVES Time is the element in which we exist. ... We are either borne along by it or drowned in it. -- Joyce Carol Oates, "Marya" Much can be made of Bob Dylan's "the times, they are a changin'." According to William Irwin Thompson, we're now AT THE EDGE OF HISTORY , buffeted about by John Naisbitt's MEGATRENDS , and with millions suffering from Alvin Toffler's FUTURE SHOCK . In the lifetime of one born in 1976, America's bicentennial year, the population of the world has increased by over one and one-half billion individuals, hundreds of thousands have died in the name of nationalism or religion, trillions of dollars have been spent perfecting doomsday weaponry, and the revolutions in minority, gender, and old age relations have shaken the traditional fou Read More Go to Site

		What's an Agent, Anyway? A Sociological Case Study ^Votes:0 Next: Agents and appropriation Abstract: The term `agent' has been picked up, widely appropriated, and in many cases misappropriated, by technical publications, lay publications, and many researchers in computer science. I examine some of the appropriations and misappropriations, talk about their reasons and implications, and delve into a case study of an agent that is used to illustratively define what I consider an agent to be, and why many of the current uses of the term are misleading. The agent I consider is Julia , a TinyMUD robot of the Maas-Neotek family, all of whom have been in almost constant use at several sites on the Internet for the last two or three years. I also speak at length about the sociology of such agents, what we might expect to find in the future, and why sociolog Read More Go to Site
