Selling Eggs for Tuition

I see nothing wrong with women selling their eggs to pay for tuition. Men can sell their sperm, so why should women be excluded from the same right. People will do what they want in order to make money to pay for tuition. Some women strip, excort, and so do some men. If a women sells her eggs to pay for college, that is her choice and she has that right. Atleast she is not swinging around a pole to pay for her tuition. There are many women that cannot have children because their bodies will not produce the eggs, so they are helping them to possible have children. Then there is the scientific studies that could benefit from research done on the eggs, the possibilities are endless. Therefore I see no reason why women should be critizied for selling their eggs to pay for tuition.

Distance Learning

By offering more distance learning courses at AAMU will not benefit me personally, but it may help someone else. So, if more distance learning courses need to be offered then I think that they should. I have never taken an online course and never will if I can help it. I do not believe that I will like them, so I will not take one unless it is abosultley neseccary. I perfer the classroom setting for a class. If the University see that the demand for online courses has risen then they should offer more of those classes. But certain classes need to be in a classroom setting, so I think that they should really consider the classes that they will offer that way.

Caucasion or European Studies

I personally do not think that there needs to be a program that offers exclusively Caucasian or European studies. The majority of people we learn about are white and of European background. Grant you there is not a month set aside to honor great contributors of the Caucasion or European backgrounds, but I do not think one is needed. I do believe that it is important to learn about ones cultural or ethical background, but as for offering courses that teach only about caucasions I think it would be a waste of time. If one wants to learn about particular people then let them take it upon themselves to go the extra mile and do so. Our history is already full of causasions or those from European countries. I do think that studies need to be offered to really tell the truth about the life and almost complete end of the Native American Indians. But as for caucasion and European studies, no.

Octomom

I do believe that family services should intervien in this situation. There is no way that she will be able to provide an adequate living situation for these children. She has a total of 14 children. The California tax payers are going to be paying for these children. Something needs to be done because it is apparent that she is not in the right frame of mind and I think she is using these children as a means of gaining stardom. However, I do not want to see eight children that are so genetically linked to one another be split apart. But, I see no way that she will be able to care or provide a safe environment for them. So, yes I think that authorities should step in and do something about this situation. She has proven that she is spending money on friviolous and materialistic items, instead of putting the money towards much needed items to raise her children.

Education Best Provision

"Education is the best provision for the journey to old age." Aristotle.

I believe that education is a must in today's society. One does not need it to reach old age, however it should make their old age more finacially stable. In my parents and grandparents day one could make it life without an education if they were willing to work hard and had determination. In today's age an education is esstential for the journey to old age. One can live without an education, but the knowledge that one receives from his or her learning can open many doors for the future. I am a firm believer in receiving as much education as one can possible receive, but an education will not make you grow older. It just makes growing older more knowledgeable.
