...medical field. (long-term) | 1.Explain how the concepts of scarcity, choice, and opportunity cost relate to your dilemma. ◘ Having the drive to want to study is what will take you far. As we all know time is a scarce resource. We want more, but have to do it a limited TIME frame, and scarcity is just that, limited resources. This forces us to make choices, choices that we might not want to make, but have to. Opportunity cost is the most valued alternative, meaning giving up something you want to do but can’t really do. In my case that would be studying instead of pointless time wasting on things that could be dealt with later on in the week. It’s better to chose a goal that will really benefit you in the long run. 2. When making a decision, are the costs and benefits equally important to you? Why or why not. Based on your chart, explain which category, costs or benefits, would have the largest impact on your decision? ◘ When making a decision I would say that the cost and benefits are not equally important. Why not, because I feel the benefits are the positive effect of the cost. To me the benefit category would have the largest impact on my decision. I want positive results from what I gave up for it. In my dilemma, studying is my number one priority right now for my grade’s. I need good grades, because good grade lead you into an awesome college, then into a bright...

Thus, different students have different views and ways of understanding such transmitted information and studies. Life as a student is said to be fun yet also stressful. Requirements, research works, reports and examinations abound student’s life especially during college verve. Every student knows the terror of examination. Learners have borne the pallor of midnight cramming and struggled through the anxiety before and the forced euphoria after their baptism by fire. There are probably more mental breakdowns on campus because of certain phobias and circumstances. These said breakdowns and problems of the students can be detected through examinations. Behavior therapy literature is replete with studies that report success in desensitizing people to the fear of exams. School is really a major hurdle for most families. When children succeed there, everyone is happy; but when they bring their failures home with them, parents relive their own childhood frustration with education. Such academic problems should be recognized and should also be given proper attention to aid students. The researchers...

...Introduction College enrollments have continued on an upward climb for decades, as more and more people recognize the value of a college education, especially the tangible value of the diploma in the marketplace. The past few decades have witnessed growing diversity in higher education, but with that diversity they also see dramatic changes in how students are funding their college educations. Today’s college students face a complex set of dilemmas about whether to attend college, where to attend, how to pay, how much to work, how many jobs to take, how to pay credit card bills and car payments, how to juggle family and children, and how to balance these competing priorities while in school. Student jobs have become a sort of trend among students around the world, who want to work while they are studying. In short, the term that suits this trend is 'Earn and Learn' policy. Other reason why student jobs are popular among students is they help to cope up with the constant increase in tuition fees, and a way to afford further educations. Not all people are given the chance to have a quality education especially in the Philippines because it is now complicated. That’s why having the chance to study and choosing the course should not be compared to some thing like for an example buying a dress for a special occasion and when realization comes into your mind that you don’t want it, you’ll return it or maybe get your money back. No, this isn’t right, because in college life, you have...

...Ethics and Morality Doreen B. Jackson Everest University 1. How would Robert Coles respond to this quote? Robert Coles might answer this quote by making us consider going from thinking to action, and using moral analysis to the fulfilling moral commitments. Moral conduct is not commensurate with moral reasoning although there is a correlation between a plan of action and moral reasoning. Students might learn of the moral code of ethics, but they are the ones required to make the commitment by studying and following them, therefore becoming a more ethical person. My answer to the quote is, we as people make our own choices concerning our own actions. We are confronted with moral dilemmas that allow us to make those choices. When studying our daily living we show our morality by our chosen actions and our spoken words. We decide whether our decisions are good or will have ramifications. If our actions are not continually studied a code of ethics may never be maintained causing adversity in our personal and social lives. 2. How do you explain the fact that morally evil people can be highly educated in terms of ethics and religion? In other words, how do you account for the gap that sometimes occurs between knowledge of ethics and being ethical person? To them morality is simply rules that are memorized. Morality can be stated or referenced but not adopted. Moral choices require deep thought and consideration. The so called evil persons do not have empathy...

...medicine, else my parents would force me to follow through, and I didn’t want to oppose them. But I had no clue whether I would score well in engineering. I ended up performing averagely in both exams. Any Indian graduate especially in Kerala dreams of becoming a doctor. My parents pressured me to opt for medicine as a career. I recently happened to read George Orwell’s “Shooting an elephant”. Just as Orwell, an imperialist officer who hated imperialism had a dilemma; I too because of my parents was in a similar situation. The issue of moral dilemma and question of choice always come before us. Life places us in different scenarios, where we have to take a choice that influences our life a lot thereafter. Orwell had to take a decision whether to shoot a mad elephant or not. He did not want to shoot it, but external factors made him act against his values. Yes, the instance of moral dilemma did happen to me too. It could have totally changed where I am and what I am: it could have changed my dreams and my life drastically. Any dilemma is a question that requires you to invest your time, your thoughts and then act. Act only when you are sure: when you are sure of what you believe, then you shall never repent for your choice and you shall never question your identity. You will lose yourself once you have succumbed to the pressure of society. In fact, I actually did. And by fate and God’s grace, I had a narrow escape: God knew it was not the right path for me. I knew it, too, but sometimes...

Thus, it is divided into two types: formal learning institutions such as schools and self-learning better known as experience. Moreover, education is essential to every student by bringing them in the future prepared. But as we all know, education is not limited only in institutions and poverty rises which greatly affect the financial stability of every family hindering their children to attain knowledge formally. Today, many choose to work while studying, juggling school responsibility and self-responsibility, they are called, “working students.” Studying, alone, is already a hard task and working is another thing. Putting these two in the context have effects to each other either positive or negative. Weng (2012) elaborated that schooling and work are extremely different but both can bring a successful path. Though, working students strive hard to finance their studies, they also helping their families not only themselves. Those who have parents with...

I would tell Frankie that nothing is permanent rich may become poor while poor may become rich and to become successful, it doesn’t necessarily need that you’re intelligent or with the highest honor, sometimes we need to be productive and wise. In Rudy's side he made his result of his decision he was not afraid to let go of his study because he used his own abilities that lead him to success. Contrast Effect Frankie is more intelligent than Rudy in Academics-Rudy should have focus in studying his lessons more than anything else But even he did not finished his college Rudy had been successful yet also with his life. He defeated Frankie which is graduated from college. Projection Rudy quit on his studies during second year - Rudy should have strive more, finds inspiration and be motivated in studying and because there he found a way to be satisfied and be successful in life even though he finished he became billionaire. Stereotyping Frankie could not believe that Rudy is richer than him - Frankie must not depend only in his profession to earn money; he should invest or start on his own business too.

...Nuclear Weapons: Then and Now Politics, especially on an international level, is a complex and messy subject. One simply has to open up a newspaper or tune into the evening news for evidence. While many problems can be resolved peacefully through negotiations, there are problems in international relations that manage to escalate quickly and result in a war between two or more countries. From revolutionary wars to World Wars, violence has always been part of international relations. However, with recent technological advancements, wars have taken an especially deadly turn. Advanced weaponry has allowed soldiers to become more “efficient” when fighting a battle allowing them to kill many more enemy combatants and innocent bystanders. The most devastating of these newly created weapons are nuclear weapons such as the atomic and hydrogen bombs. These weapons have the capacity to eliminate hundreds of thousands of people, obliterate cities, and possibly end life on earth, as we know it. The most destructive of these weapons was tested by the Soviets in 1961 during the Cold War. The hydrogen bomb that was being tested had a destructive power of approximately 60 megatons. The Soviets formally named the bomb Ivan, but nicknamed it the “King of Bombs.” Originally, Ivan was going to be constructed with a power of 100 megatons, but the Soviets decided it was too risky and dangerous. To put this in perspective, a single megaton can create temperatures that are five times as intense as the...

...Criminology is the scientific approach to studying criminal behavior. Like any other –ology there is ethical issues and concerns. Psychology has ethical concerns on some studies due to the factor of research subjects being lied to about what they are participating in or the harming of animals for research. With psychology certain ethical standard committees have been created to help deter the unethical behavior. In criminology the ethical issues are: what they should study, whom they should study, and how they should study. What should criminologist be studying? Some criminologist are working for Universities and Colleges that are only interested in the scholar aspect of criminology, while some have a type of political interest. During the studies it has to be funded by someone and the ethical issue that comes into play is when a police force is funding the study of bad cops for review of the police force the data may be pointed in a certain direction to bring better results for the police force. Criminologist have to study accurate data in order to have valid results but putting them a situation of investigating who is funding them could cause problems and ethical dilemmas. Whom should criminologist study? If you want to achieve the most accurate data available then every aspect should be studied, not just the poor and middle class who is what most criminologist concentrate on. Concentrating only on one aspect of the crime in a city will leave out the major crimes...
