...Research Problem: The current trend in the educational sector shows a decline in the number of enrollment of the students at higher level of education at colleges over the globe. There could be many reasons behind this inclination but among the major causes, the increasing cost of higher education is the most important one. Hypothesis: “The high admission cost and tuition fee have turned away potential college students leading to a decrease in number of enrollments in higher educational level.” Introduction: In the contemporary world, college degree has become indispensable credential to survive in the workforce. But with soaring costs of higher education not every potential student has been able to afford the luxury of being a graduate. Over half of college students have shown concern regarding the payment of their college fee. This is the highest this number has been since 1971 (Marill and O’Leary 64-66, 93). Also the increasing trend of unemployment over the entire globe has helped in tightening the terms and conditions for college student debt. Although the financial aids have helped the students a lot in pursuing their desired professions but still this number is much smaller than the number of students affected by the high education cost. Although the decreasing number of entries in colleges can mainly be attributed to high cost of education, but there are many other factors which play important role in the current decreasing trend.

...Hyperactive Disorder (A.D.H.D), but today more and more people are finding ways to elicit these drugs. In her research to uncover the truth about cognitive enhancers, Talbot meets a young history major at Harvard named Alex, who admits to consuming vast amounts of Adderall in his academic career. The article holds truth that today’s society has become obsessed with a demand for overnight success and will resort to any means in order to obtain their desired results, no matter how detrimental it may be to one’s health. With that said, the illegal consumption of cognitive enhancers might be able to produce successful results in a limited amount of time, but only with the consequences of negative outcomes. Adderall is not a safe drug for anyone to consume without a doctors prescription. When used as an off label drug, it doesn’t have the approval of either the drug manufacturer or the Food Drug Administration. Therefore, it is not safe for the public to use an off label drug. It is the Food and Drug Administration’s job to approve drugs such as Adderall for the public’s safety and to inform every one of the drug’s ingredients. All of the students who consume Adderall, saying it’s fine and un-harmful to the human body are ignorant on the topic. These students are not informed on the side effects or harm that it could cause to a humans body. For example adderall causes an “inability of sleep for approximately eight to ten...

...TOPIC: Does Using Colored Paper Improve Learning or Academic Performance? RELATED STUDIES/LITERATURES: In the study entitled “A Study of the Effect of Paper Color on Test Performance in Business Communication” (2009) by Janet K. Winter and Esther J. Winter of University of Central Missouri, Warrensburg stated that, Color has been shown to affect mood and productivity in a variety of different situations. This study evaluated the performance of students in readiness-assessment quizzes in business communication classes, comparing the grades of students whose test papers were white with grades of students who received pastel-colored test papers. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between the two groups. Other research suggests that color may, however, have an effect in other situations [1]. Mehta and Zhu (2009) have published studies that they claim clarify how red and blue differently affect performance on detail-oriented versus creative tasks with strong implications for test preparation and testing formats [2]. According to Sinclair (1998), students taking exams on blue and red paper performed more effectively on blue, especially for complex questions [3]. Whitfield and Wiltshire, in their critical review of the field, discounted the work done before 1950 because it didn’t consider even the three basic components of color (hue, value, and chrome). They also identified flaws in most subsequent research: inconsistencies in the terminology used by...
