What does it mean when we say someone is Affected, or has affected speech?
No no no- its a slang term that people use. I'm not getting it mixed up with effected. Its a term used to describe people who act weird but in a certain way. They are so affected! Anyone? Anyone?
Why does someone develop shyness? And how does it affect someone’s life?
Shyness is not a learned trait.Shyness is a normal behavior that many children exhibit and usually outgrow by the time they reach school age. I, however, did not grow out of it.I’ve been shy since I can remember. There are photos of me as a toddler hiding behind my mother’s legs. I hated new places and crowds, anywhere people might look at me. I didn’t like babysitters, my parents’ friends, or even going to kids’ birthday parties. Eventually I would relax, but new situations were difficult.As I grew older and more social, I thought my friends and schoolmates would understand this about me and give me breaks. Except they didn’t. If my friends and I encountered new people, I would get nervous and withdrawn. I wouldn’t talk. I’d blush and back away. In all sorts of unexpected circumstances, I acted and looked like a frightened idiot. My friends would give me annoyed looks.One day, after an annoying encounter with some stranger-kid on my way home from school, I made a conscious decision: I could not continue to indulge my social fears. I could not act shy if I wanted to be a leader among my peers. I told myself: “From now on, you have to act bold, act friendly, be part of the interaction. If you don’t, people will think you’re a weirdo.” Which, for a 13-year-old, was pretty big motivation.You ask how shyness affects one’s life. For me, the conscious decision to overcome shyness changed my life.Since that day in the seventh grade, I’ve been an individual willing to push myself into new situations. I am particularly bold. I became the kid who asks lots of questions, the girl who is willing to say the awkward thing, the one who doesn’t care what others think.It is possible to overcome shyness, but it doesn’t necessarily go away.Today, I am still quite shy. I still hate entering a roomful of people. But shyness no longer consumes me. And if you were to meet me tomorrow, after several minutes you would declare: “She’s not shy!” Amazing!
If someone assaults you, and you fight back, how does that affect the charges pressed?
Generally, you are allowed to defend yourself and others and pets. What happens though, most people who engage in fights do so in an aggressive way and it ends up being retalitory. Which is where the law and I disagree. According to law, if you retaliate with the intention to do harm, you are assaulting the other person as well. So both can be charged. In my honest opinion, a person who attacks me deserves whatever punishment I choose to throw at him. But I’d rather be alive and sitting in prison than dead with no justice.To be more clear, in the eyes of the law, you are allowed to defend yourself up to the point of equal force. He throws a punch and you instinctively punch him back. Self-defence is viable. He throws a punch and you block and do a little foot work and all of a sudden hit him back, it is retalitory and not covered as you are no longer defending yourself rather, you are willfully engaging in the fight. You are not actively defending yourself or trying to get away rather, you are intending to harm a person.
If someone had a nose piercing, would it affect your decision on whether or not to employ them?
I'm 15 in December and would realy like to get my nose pierced for my birthday. I'm not stupid, and research things like mad before i go through with them, never mind double checking numerous times whether or not i want to go through them. I know the average price to get a nose piercing, the correct procedure and i also know of numerous piercing parlours in the area. I think that piercings are becoming more and more accepted as time goes on, numerous girls in my school have nose piercings. Unfortunately, my Dad and step mum are unwilling to allow me to get my nose pierced because they fear that it could jeopardize my chances of getting the job that i want (i would like to be a dentist). If i was attending an interview or was at work, i would remove the piercing of put in a clear stud. The hole would still be visable, but only if you looked close up. Would a piercing affect your impression of me? Please be honest! Rachel
