Question for minorities: Affirmative Action?
Hello all, our class is having a debate about affirmative action and one of the arguments made against it, is that it demeans minorities. I wanted to get a general survey from minorities and ask, first does affirmative action demean or offend you in any way? and if does, why? Also, if you guys have any sources to back up your answers it would be great if you wanted to include that :) thanks!!!
5 AnswersPolitics7 years agoI'm in a super awkward position with my crush?...?
Ok so I met this guy in the past week and like at first I thought he was flirting with me like even other people thought that he liked me.... ok so I finally started to like him back and he even asked me for my number and then he texts me later and he said he was into someone so I kept nagging him to tell me who and finally I figure out it was this other girl. Well after he asked who I liked and then he like even knew I liked him so I said yah it's you but now everything is gonna be totally awkward. So apparently all this time I thought he was flirting with me but I guess they were just friendly gestures. But now I have to see him tomorrow after telling him all of this and I don't know how to make everything less awkward. What should I do?
3 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoKaryotype question?????
I have to do this biology Pokemon project and I have figured out everything so far, except for the karyotype.

How would I set this up. Thank you! You can just make up the phenotype and genotypes for the examples.

9 AnswersGlobal Warming9 years agoIs this statement correct about high and low pressure?
High pressure systems in the atmosphere lead to colder temperatures, stagnant air and build up of pollutants in the air, low pressure systems then proceed to bring wind and precipitation which disperse air pollutants.
Does it make sense? I dont really understand, I am doing a science experiment about pollution and trying to prove that cold air affects pollution and i found a source and paraphrased it. But i dont know if i did it correctly? thanks

1 AnswerBiology9 years agoEveryone says I'm a good tutor?
So I'm thinking of starting a tutoring club at my school because everyone says I am a good tutor, and I just love to see people happy when they understand something. My school already has an after school tutoring thing but it sucks, the people are just in there so it'll look good on transcripts. Do you think it would be weird though to start a homework tutoring club if there's already one at our school?

1 AnswerPain & Pain Management9 years agoWas this a panic attack? Have had it before/?
SO today in class my teacher was calling on us randomly to answer questions, which really freaks me out because that is my worse class and I was really worried she was going to call on me. I am a really anxious person btw. So today(happened last year too and really anytime I get really nervous about something) my heart started pounding like triple the normal rate, my hand and arms started to shake, I was literally shaking and then I started getting goosebumps and I felt a little light headed. It went away after she stopped doing this. What happened?
