...future be especially on our career paths. From almost 20 persons that I have in contact with, only two of them was able to graduate from college. Some had dropped out and some are still in college shifting courses just like me. So I decided to make a survey research regarding students in colleges on how passionate they are in the course they took up. I have delimited my research to students of the same course that I am taking to target a specific population and validity. Despite the problem of having many legal management students shifting courses, they take easy courses to graduate on time. As a current student and had been enrolled in legal management course in FEU, questions had bewildered myself if I had took the right path and made a right decision to take this course hence where will this lead me after I graduated from the course? There were instances in my college years that I opted or imagined to shift course for that matter because of the fear of the unknown. I am an irregular 3rd year student and I had witness some of my friends or almost of my friends if I may say had graduated from the courses they took and for my fellow legal management batch mates who if not shifted had graduated from this course but didn’t landed on a good job. The purpose of my research is to know the different reasons or the concrete intention or motive why some or a lot of students decided to shift course specifically legal management students. I will also probe if there is a trend of shifters...

...English 1101 Essay #2 October 9, 2015 “Equal Rights” The ethical principle of Equal Respect and the Golden Rule are often forgotten in today's society. It is never okay to feel that someone is of lesser value than yourself because their race, or color of their skin. I feel one must always treat others with respect and dignity. No one is able to choose the color of their skin or their family heritage, I always have to see it from the other persons point of view. If I were in their shoes, how would I want to be treated by someone that is a little bit different on the outside, but exactly the same on the inside? If everyone got a chance to know what it feels like to be affected by a racist comment, lack of respect, or unequal rights it would change the outlook on this ethical principle. One should always value the lives of others just as you would your own life. Everyone adds value to the world in their own way. It is important to encourage other people to find their purpose in life, not to be determined by the color of their skin. We have all heard of the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Why should someone of a different race be treated any differently if they are attempting to pursue the same goal? For example, If there were an African American girl that has a goal of being a doctor. She goes to school for the required amount of years, passes all of the tests, gets certified to be a doctor. Yet, when she applies in the workforce...

...Focused Inquiry October 30,2013 Making the choice A lot of freshman students end up wondering why they gain weight after their first year at VCU. Virginia Commonwealth University offers a variety of places where students can eat by using their swipes. Swipes are a part of your meal plan, you use them instead of using money to purchase food at specific food places. There are healthy places and non-healthy places here at VCU you can choose to eat at. One of the few healthy places here at VCU is Jonah’s Culinary Emporium. The food at Jonas is made right in front of you so you know the ingredients that goes into your food. You get to make the decision on what goes inside your food and what doesn’t. It’s the choice of the student to choose whether they want to use their swipe to eat at the healthy place or not. Students tend to eat at places where it’s convenient to them. There are many food places that allows students to buy food via swipes so students don’t really worry about buying food with money. At the Virginia Commonwealth University, choice, convenience and money plays roles in where people choose to eat and based on their choices can affect them in a positive or bad way pertaining to their weight. Choice is one of the driving factors in why students either gain weight or don’t. “Taking the long route to putting food on the table may not be easy for almost all Americans it remains a choice, if you can drive to McDonald’s you can drive to Safeway”...

...Working Worries Life is full of choices. Whether they are good or bad; they are still choices no matter what you label them as. Now with me being only twenty-two years old, I don’t believe that I have had to make too many crazy choices but when I think of significant choices that I have needed to make only one pops up into my mind. I think of my decision to begin college or not. This was difficult for me because I was ready to start my life in the “real world” as soon as I walked out of my high school doors on graduation day, so I began by getting a regular job. Little did I know that just a plain “job” was not going to be what I had envisioned. The reason why I think the decision to come to college is a big deal is because of all the other things that the decision affects. For example, starting college means that I need to focus a lot of my energy and attention to doing well in classes, where if I decided to just get another job, then I would have to focus on doing well with my work and my boss. Also starting college means that I need to take a loan out to help pay for my new education. I kept putting off the decision because of all the worries and fears I had about college work and the expenses that would come with my idea of a proper education. After working a few “dead end” jobs that could barely support the gas needed to drive to these “Jobs”, I made my decision. Obviously I decided on starting college, I decided on this course because I had been working straight...

...War is the one situation that has no room for mistakes. The slightest mistake can cost a person his life when in the line of war. War can change people who may have never wanted to harm a person into someone who is willing to live at all cost, even if it means killing. The short story “The Sniper” written by Liam O’Flaherty incorporates the realities of war all the way down to its finest details. It also shows its extremities and how an option of simply whether to light a cigarette or not can be the decision whether someone lives or dies. People are fighting in these wars and may not know what they are fighting for or why they are fighting. Cummings (2007) found, “Liam O’Flaherty was born on August 28, 1896, in Inishmore, Ireland.”...

...The power to vote is an important right for the people because it shows fairness and equality. In 1774 at the Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia, the Framers had trouble deciding who they would give the right of vote too. They had come to a decision that the members of the House of Representatives were to be elected by the people of each state. This led to the Constitution leading the government with the power to decide who to vote. Today’s century, the United States will not allow the people to vote for president and Vice President directly, but they utilize Electoral College to represent voter’s choice. In the Constitution article 2, section 1, clause 2 it states in specific detail how many electors each state is entitled to have. The...

...people who are different, if this is true, why did the United States elect an African-American man to be the leader of a country for 8 years? If it’s true that affirmative action isn’t fair, then why are there more minorities graduating and getting Ph.D.s that can later help them in life? If affirmative action is all of these things, then how can some many minorities get an education they might have never dreamed of having? All of these things prove that affirmative action has a positive effect on college admissions because it creates diversity for colleges, it’s fair for the students, and it provides opportunities for the learners. Many think affirmative action causes discrimination but evidence shows that affirmative action creates diversity in colleges. For example, “academically qualified but economically disadvantaged students, racial, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity would all increase without sacrificing academic quality” ( “Should Race Be a Factor in College Admissions”). This shows that students who are economically disadvantaged can still go to...

...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 or compassion which prompts a normal person to choose morally and ethically. Their morality and pleasure is in continuous opposition with each other. 3. If you were in Coles position, what would have been your response to the students concerns regarding the disconnect between...

...TOPIC: Factors that affects High school students in choosing their courses in college. INTRODUCTION A labour force survey suggested that the Philippines has the highest unemployment rate among the countries from the Southeast Asia (Ericta, 2013). Mismatch graduates are believed to be a reason why the country has high unemployment rate. The reasons of these mismatches might be due to the produced graduates of colleges that do not fit the present demand of the economy, or the graduates were not capable of achieving the required skills the industry needs. The incompatibility of graduates to meet the competencies needed by companies may be due to wrong preference of courses (Rosero, 2012). A major turning point in an adolescents' lives involves the career choice that they make while in high school. These decision are mostly influenced by the family and community of a student which plays a major role in establishing a career path that opens as well as closes opportunities (Bluestein, Phillips, Jobin-Davis, Finkelberg, & Roarke, 1997). There a lot of factors that could affect a student's decision in choosing their courses. There are uncontrollable elements such as location, cost, distance and availability of financial aid (Jackson, 1982). However, some Colleges, set standards before accepting students to a particular course; hence, this can alter student’s decision especially those with academic issues. These standards include student background (Jackson, 1982), objectives...

...responsibility could in the way of having fun all the time, being responsible for yourself makes you an honest and successful person because it helps achieve personal goals and moving forward in your career with dignity. You may ask why I would want to be responsible when I can just skate my way through life. The ethical question why would you want to skate through life? It is time to start being accountable for your actions time to stop wasting away on the easy road through life. A way a student in college can do this is by reminding one’s self that making good choices lead to a fulfilling college experience and teach the difference of right and wrong and help guide future decision making. ------------------------------------------------- An essay that I found in the art of man states “moral reminders are checkpoint that you can use to remind yourself the outcomes of the good choices.” (Brett, 2013). Moral reminders are everywhere from reading class policies to signing the plagiarism agreement at school even the word school is a moral reminder that there are laws and principles guiding how your school is set up the and the laws and principles that govern you in the school.
