wake\na vigil held over a corpse the night before burial; theres no weeping at an Irish wake .It's called a wake because the mourners stay awake during the night, originally to watch and pray over the corpse \n\n'Wake' is the native English equivalent of the Latin-derived 'vigil'. It was formerly used of all kinds of religious vigils, but is now generally confined to funerals.

One pretty good source in the United States is the Occupational Outlook handbook written by the government. It lists jobs, duties, salaries, education required, and projected job openings. Second, if you have money, the rule of thumb is 30-30-30: cash (30%), mutual funds/stocks (30%), and real estate (30%). Study the list of rich and famous people who didn't attend or graduate from college. I suspect the answer lies in passion, concentration, dedication, marketing, and working smart, not hard. Third, people are paying big money for any type of information, and also thru the internet. Last, find a need and fill it. Look at how many chicken or hamburger places there are.

you could do the current issue of immigration.  There is a ton of information (and opinion pieces) out there right now because it is such a huge issue in the U.S.

I see you are having considerable difficulty getting help with this novel.  I haven't read the novel, but possibly some links that discuss cultural assimilation involving various groups, including  Americans of Asian background, may be useful to you.  \n\nThese links should get you started on your assignment.  I hope this helps.

Try looking up the gallup polls.  Or go to the U.S. Census website.  I don't know these two websites but you can google them.  (Can I say google on Yahoo!?)  If this helps don't forget to give me ten points.  I have been helping a lot of people with school work lately and sometimes I am the only one to answer so they just take my advice and then delete the question.  :(

1. The American Woman: DAR, flappers, the sixties, votes for women, etc.\n2. American or Die- imperialistic america: talk about how americans tend to force their culture on peopel, see ourselves as a dominant race. american indians, the meltinhg pot, immigrations acts through the 1910s to the 1930s to today. like the wall being extended on the border to mexico. this could go into immigration and appreciation of cultures and the atrocities commited against american indians. \n3. The Land of Hopes and Dreams: how we are a spoiled people, corrupting our own "land of freedom" this could lead into discussion on how prosperity inevetibly and eventually leads to corruption. eg: inner city schools, LA, New York, politicians.

Having English and Spanish down, you're pretty good.  I would recommend Chinese because it is obviously an up and coming nation that will have a huge global influence on everything from politics to trade to just about everything.  If not Chinese, I would look into Arabic for similar reasons (spanning a variety of countries).  Either will make you incredibly marketable!

believe that we have degraded since the 50"s and early 60"s. think that is the last time America stood together on life issues. there was not family fall out like now. think people tried to do what was right even when it was hard. man tried to provide and make households survive while woman were trying to be thee best to be a mother not 100 different things and then a mother. (no way intended as a slam meaning trying to be a worker teacher home maker taxi driver sister daughter wife then mother is very hard. and not far back in the 50S most woman stayed at home and had the ability to be th mother they dreamed of. ) we treated our kids different as the future not as a necessity or interruption.

How come you did not mention your own nationality? Anyway, I've lived in some African countries and really liked the environments - very friendly and stress free. I've also lived in the USA and was in fact very disappointed - very stressful and hostile society (despite the diversity), especially down south in Texas.

1. Start with the basics - demographics. Clearly you need a gender M/F question but you might also want age, occupation and living status for example.\n\n2. Then add a bunch of attitude statements with a 5 point scale. Strongly agree ....strongly disagree with indifferent in the middle.\n\n3. Make sure your statements cover as many different points of view as possible. \n\n4. You could add a few other questions about other forms of buying to see if its specific to clothing or more generalised.\n\nImportantly you might aslo want to consider "in what ways male and females differ in their attitudes". I say this because your question above implies a yes or no answer. Open it up a bit and it'll also help you generate hypotheses too.\n\nCluster analysis is a "fun" way of playing with attitude statements after.\n\nHope this helps

I agree with tczubernat. Take away everyone's worldy possessions, and we all still require the basic necessities of life. \n\nAs for being culturally aware..Absolutely!\n\nMy mother is a NuyoRican that is part Irish. My father is a dougla from Trinidad. (mixed)\n\nI was exposed to it all. I am a Native of NYC(Prospect Heights/Brooklyn to be exact.) Culture is a wonderful thing. It is ever evolving. Of course there are plenty of cultures that I am not so familiar with and would love to be exposed to it all. But, by no means have a lived a culturally sheltered life.

(looking at answer above...um, ok....)\nAnyway, you might try researching US Census data. I know you can find out about your question by state and by county, not sure about the entire country, but it's worth a try!
