    Schools Should I Choose UBC or U of T for Undergrad to Prep for Grad School in the US?

    Positive reinforcement gives me the creeps

    I am actually studying this right now for an exam on Wednesday. I think that the whole blanket praise thing started after Carl Rogers postulated his theories on conditional positive regard.

    Is there an evolutionary or other reason that men get bald but women don't?

As a result men are 3x more likely to experience pattern baldness. My professor used this as her example for explaining sex linked genes. I know...

    Medical Are marijuana patches addictive?

    Im assuming you are suggesting that this patch would be for people who wanted to quit? Or are you suggesting it as an alternative drug therapy for cancer patients? Either way the social and legal implications probably have a lot to do with why a pharmaceutical company would stay away from the...
