So here I sit in english class, thinking about all of the assignments that I have coming up due. I have all of my english assignments which include a couple more blogs, fixing my research paper, getting together a presentation, and writing a blog essay. Then I have Math XL homework to catch up on as well as study for the final exam and one more friday quiz. I also have to study for a chemistry quiz today, two more lab homework, a test on Tuesday, and a final exam after that. I have two economics quizzes and homework and then a final exam. I guess I'll be a little busy for the next couple of weeks, but it's cool.

The Value of Your Education!
If more people realized how easy it was to take advantage of government grants and loans for the purpose of education, many more people would do so. Increased human capital leads to greater overall income levels due to greater demand by employers. They would reap the rewards of higher rates of returns by surpassing certain barriers to entry. More factories are being shut down and relocated to different countries where companies can pay lower wage rates and obtain greater economic efficiency. Since we are becoming a less industrial country every day, unskilled workers are continuously becoming more obsolete.

Being Nice
Have you ever had some one ask you to do something for them, but you really don't want to do it just because of the type of person they are? I am in that position right now. I don't really want to get into details because it is very small. A push of a button that won't even put me out of my way. I think the real dilemma is that people aren't nice enough to others even though they don't like each other, which in turn causes a vicious cycle of hatred. Remember the "golden rule"? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. On one hand if I don't there will be no immediate consequences, but it will be in the back of my mind that I could have done something nice for someone and did not. On the other hand, I would be helping to increase the size of the pedastal this person puts themselves on and lowering the amount of respect that they have for others, further poisoning the culture that we live in. If I use "game theory" in my approach the probability is not likely to change enough to matter, it will lead me to not do the good deed, since even if I do the repercussions will not change. If I do not do the good deed I will have comprimized my own principals, since I would always rather do nice things for others and I believe in the golden rule.
