...Having a solid recruiting strategy is one of the most important things a coach can have when applying for a college coaching job. If he or she does not have an idea of they want to do to recruit players and how they will do it, then the coach is bound to fail. At the college level, recruiting is the lifeblood of every sports program as well as the college. A coach may have to adjust his recruiting strategy depending on where his current job is. Many Division II schools are enrolment driven institutions, so a coach will need to be willing to do extra recruiting to get the larger roster that a school requires. However, most Division I schools do not require their sports to have large rosters so the coach can focus in on the top tier recruits...

...Athletes work so hard to be the best in their sport and make it to the next level if they are a good player they will earn respect among their fellow athletes and most importantly the fans. Good players in college sports make the NCAA a lot of money because of jersey sales alone, but if you add the fact that fans want to come watch them that makes ticket sales raise earning the NCAA a bunch of money. Colleges even get paid for companies to make a players jersey and sell them it is so unfair for college athletes because they are just stuck in the middle with no say or as Maurice Peebles would like to say “it’s like they are in a money wind machine, but locked in a straight jacket.” College athletes should be able to make profit off of jersey sales and autographs because they work so hard to get respect from fans and fellow athletes. College athletes should not only get profit from their jersey and autograph sales they should also be paid, people try to say it would hard, but there are many intellectually thought out processes to pay college athletes without breaking the...

...to eliminate the ban of selling kidneys so that college students can pay for college has sparked much debate on the ethics of human rights and morality. The question is whether or not selling body parts for money is moral. I will be discussing how Utilitarianism, Kant’s Theory, and Negative Natural Rights theory determine morality and whether each theory deems the proposal as a moral act or not. The first theory we can use in deciding if selling kidneys for tuition is ethical is Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism determines morality by saying an act is moral if it creates the greatest overall utility. This means it will require that we sacrifice our own pleasure and happiness for the greater good. The first step in determining the moral worth of the act is defining the utility. In this situation, financially poor student are selling their kidney to pay the tuition costs to go to school. The groups that are being affected are college students who cannot afford tuition and people who are in desperate need of a kidney. In the UK, “three people die every day in the UK while awaiting kidneys”. There is a clearly a high demand of kidneys. Since utilitarianism looks to produce the greatest overall utility, we need to measure the consequences to determine whether the positive consequences outweigh the negative consequences. The positive consequences are that poor students receive money for their kidneys so they can pay for college, and people who are in need of a kidney receive them and...

...Hunter Swope Professor Hart ENGL-1010-03 6 June 2016 Should Everybody Go To College? The big question for a high school senior today is should I go to college or not? In today’s world they say you have to go to college to be successful in life. Is this true or false? There are many big questions that taunt a senior. Am I ready for college academically? Am I financially prepared for the cost of college? Do I want to be forty thousand dollars in debt right after college? Do I really know what profession I want to pursue? These are all overwhelming questions that a high school senior has to answer. Among them are the pressures that everyone should go to college that our society dictates today. Charles Murray in “What’s Wrong with Vocational School?” makes a strong case that America needs to look at higher education in a different way. The second article “On Real Education” by Robert T. Perry states that America needs more college graduates. Both articles make good points, but Murray makes the point that not all are made for college. In the article “What’s Wrong with Vocational School” by Charles Murray he believes that college is not necessary for some people. Murray takes a look at the IQ test and how it could determine if students are academically capable or ready for college. An IQ test could possibly measure if you are college material or is there another path that would be better. Any score below 115 would mean that college is going to be difficult and hard. According...

We all strive for the premonition to live comfortably, or not, have to worry about retirement. The reality is that the steps you take before you have that economical state of mind are the most important. High school, college, and jobs, these steps to success should seem simple, but yet, there are students dropping out of schools all across the nation every single day. Ever since I was little, no matter who asked me, I would always have the same answer to the question of “What...

...students should have a wonderful experience in school, am I right? But not if the students are starving or eating food that they don’t want. Armstrong Atlantic State University, known as the galley, serves the same food every week. The students who live on campus experience the same food every week. Because the students who live on campus are forced to buy a meal plan; it’s part of our term fees. There are some commuters that experience the same food that have bought a meal plan. The food that is served every week is low quality. For the money that students pay for the meals is not worth it because the food is not good quality. But there are solutions to improving the food in the galley. Students can influence the school to change the food. The issue is the poor quality of the food and same food every day, not enough fruit for athletes and students, and there are solutions that students can do to influence the school to make in change of the food. First to say for others to understand the situation is that students who live on campus are forced to buy a meal plan. There are meal plans such as five meals a week, ten a week, fourteen a week, and seventeen a week. Prices start off at a thousand dollars and increases depending on the meal plan you choose. For myself I pay twenty eight hundred a year for my seventeen meal plan. Back at home I eat a lot so coming into Armstrong I figured I would need the highest meal plan but for the money I pay the food is not worth it. The poor quality...

...consider before making that financial decision. In this essay we will look at the market structure, marginal benefit, and marginal cost associated with the purchase of a new home. Purchasing a new home can be an exciting experience that comes with great benefits. The thought of owning your own home and not throwing your money away on renting is a thought that brings a smile to my face, a place where my family and I can call home, and a place where my kids can play on their swing in the backyard and have lots of fun. I would like to look for a house that is close to my work place with a good school system and a location that has ample amount of places to shop. But before I start to look at a preferred location for my new house I have to look at my finances. I have to find a house that is affordable for me, one that fits into my budget as well as have all the benefits that I’m looking for. Though deciding to purchase a home is exciting, it is a huge financial decision and looking at my finances there are something’s I will have to give up or cut down on in order to get the size of the house I need for my family, in the principal of economics this is called “Tradeoff” giving up something to obtain something else of a greater value. Sure, if anyone that has the money to purchase a home can do it at anytime that they please, but if you want to get the best interest rate and a competitive price you have to look at the market structure and know when the time is right, although a...

...Kids should get paid to go to school or at least get an reward for there work. Not in money, gift card, or even bribes. Not all students are going to go to college or a trade school most are going to just work at a simple job. Students rewards should be separated into three parts the ones that are going to attend college, the ones that are going to trade schools, and the ones that are not attending either of them and just going into a job right away. Arianna P. does not give her opinion on if she agrees with students should be paid or not, she almost in the middle and i think most thing she said in her essay is right but i do not agree with how parents and even schools would pay students it make more sense to me if the schools would...

...me want to run and hide. I never got anything practical out of school except for girls in plaid skirts with black and white saddle shoes which drove me crazy. I could only imagine what high school would be like if I never really retained any information that was vital to my success. I hated school as much as it hated me and I know hate is a strong word. To use the term “Well Educated” sounds like someone who has accumulated a lot of books that they will never read again and debt that will follow them to the grave. I am a late bloomer because most of my peers went off to college while I went to work. I decided to go to college much later in life. When I speak to most of my high school friends they complain of college tuition and debt that still hunts them. Now I have been out of high school for twenty years, so that’s at least fifteen years of debt from college. Yes, I believe it’s all about the money and not the elite education that we so eagerly have to obtain right out of high school. Why is it that when we purchased homes for forty to seventy thousand dollars we needed a down payment? However when it comes to buying an education we are just given the money by the federal government with the hopes of getting a job and repaying the loan in a timely manner. Yes I said buying an education because you pay for it wither you pass or fail. You are not allowed to say “hey I failed that class so I am not going to pay for it or the teacher is not up to par with his or her teaching...

From the Roman empire with wrestling or the Native Americans with games such as Stick Ball or Winchishkin. Competitive sports can have positive effects such as fitness and personal health, but are those effects not also possible results of Physical Education classes or for the schools that have it, Personal health classes or if the students simply exercise? The debate on whether to make competitive sports mandatory in high schools has been a topic of debate for...

...workers in the Wayne Westland Community School District. Kelly has worked in the profession for 20 years and is approaching retirement; his experience in the field drew me to him. I wondered what sort of information or works of wisdom he could have for an aspiring social worker. I chose to interview a social worker in a school setting because I am most unfamiliar with how social workers go about their profession in an education setting. In addition to that, I was interested in his experience as a male in the social work profession, seeing as it is predominately women who chose this field. Kelly Hayes did his undergrad at Spring Arbor University, where he majored in Human Resources. Mr. Hayes intended to go to school for business and he wanted to run a non-profit organization, but quickly decided that that wasn’t for him. The University of Michigan Ann Arbor is where Kelly went to graduate school, he was in the Social Work Master’s program, and was following the Executive Leadership track. Shortly into his graduate studies, he...

...the previous years we have been experiencing a shortage on the supply of physicians, issue that according to the projections will not be changing any time soon. Given this situation we could probably already answer the question and risk to say that it is a good idea economy-wise to become a doctor, seeing that at least for the next 10 years the supply will not be anywhere close to satisfy the demand. There’s many factors that affect this increase in demand such as aging of population, the Baby Boomers that want to remain active and look for and use more healthcare as well as the next generations after them. It is also important to mention that an increase on productivity of healthcare could reduce the gap between demand of supply, but after many years and different attempts almost nothing has been achieved, since healthcare has become more and more complex. Here is a little extract from AAMC website talking about the issue of physicians shortage of supply: The number of federally funded residency training positions was capped by Congress in 1997 by the Balanced Budget Act. The 26,000 residency positions available for first year trainees will not be enough to provide training for the students graduating from medical school as early as 2016. In addition, Medicare support of graduate medical education (GME) includes paying its share of the costs of training, as well as supporting the higher costs of critical care services, such as emergency rooms and burn units, on which communities...

...with stickers used to be satisfactory enough for children to do well in school; but now-a-days a pocket full of money seems to be the only reward. Inner city schools that have low- test scores use money as a way to boost test scores in order to receive the necessary funding. Paying for grades is manipulative, and contradicts the traditional method of learning, and also the resources the school systems are using come from the government and the resources are not there to pay the children. Therefore student should not be paid to their grades. Kids know they are being manipulated and lose interest in learning as soon as the rewards are withdrawn (Unknown). If students are only going to school for the money, they will eventually lose interest and find other ways to get the money. If teachers were doing their job well money would not be needed to motivate the children. There are workshops and other other that are offered to the teachers to keep the kids interested. If the methods that have been proven to work in other school around the state why would it not work in the inner city schools as well. Although teachers have notices a change in attitudes is the change for the better (Next). Parents are also manipulating the children for the benefit of the money. Parents who didn’t care if their student was coming home with a C are suddenly very interested when their children come home with a hundred dollars (Does). Children who live in poverty would be interested in the reward and not...

...with rewards or punishments. With operant conditioning we see how certain consequences have a relationship with our behaviors. B.F. Skinner believed that we should not look at the way we think or the things that motivate us to understand behavior, he believed that we had to look and pay attention to those external things that we were able to observe to understand behavior. In operant conditioning there is positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement. A positive reinforcement happens when a behavior is strengthened because of a positive condition. A negative reinforcement happens with a behavior is strengthened because of something stopping to avoid a negative condition. Positive and Negative Reinforcement Positive reinforcement is reinforcing a certain stimulus so that a behavior has a higher chance of being repeated again in the future. When a positive outcome happens after a certain behavior the behavior is more than likely going to happen again in the future; this is also if there is a reward after the behavior it strengthens the behavior and makes and gives it a chance of happening again. When we think about positive reinforcement we can think about something good being added to a behavior. An example of positive reinforcement is when you do something good and someone compliments you and say “good job. An example of positive reinforcement with a reward is you doing a great job at your work place and your boss gives you a bonus. Negative reinforcement is a response...
