... this in mind that I set about this research. The not so simple question: Is financial aid available to older students, and if so, how do they go about obtaining it? The Cost Of Education The cost of higher education varies by type of institution. Tuition is highest at private 4-year institutions, and lowest at public 2-year institutions. The private 4-year colleges nearly quadrupled their average tuition rates between 1975 and 1996. For private 4-year colleges, tuition and fees for the 1995-96 academic year averaged about $15,400, compared with about $5006 at public 4-year colleges. The cost of attending an ...

... transmitted diseases, and (I separate this from the category of STD's because it is so widespread, deadly, important, frightening, etc.) H.I.V infection. The theory is that if condoms were given out or made available at high schools, then the students would be more inclined to use them. They would have them or be able to get them if they need to use them. This would cut down on unprotected sexual intercourse and prevent the pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and H.I.V. infection. If a student was at a party and decided, on the spur of the moment, to engage in sexual intercourse, then it is more l ...

... blacks behind? According to Gaiter, the web can’t help us achieve our ‘50’s and ‘60’s ideals (p 643).� Blacks still want the traditional “American Dream.� Well, what is the “traditional� American Dream? Perhaps, the dream is to have a nice car and house, and a good job. But in contrast to Gaiter, I believe that these are the same things we want today. Nothing has changed except for the fact that entrepreneurs have emerged with the growth of the Web. People are finding ways to make money from avenues they never dreamed of. The “American Dream� as we know it has not vanished or been left be ...

... Detroit grads not ready for jobs. Everyday Detroit’s schoolchildren are shortchanges on what they need most: a good education that prepares them for the jobs of the 21st century. Last year, 66 percent of Detroit’s graduation seniors could not read or do math at least an eight-grade level. How can we expect these students to go to college with the lack of preparation our schools have (or have not) given them? Not only are our schools graduating inadequately educated students, 29.7% of Detroit’s high school seniors are not graduating at all. (McWhiter, 6A) This means only one in three Detroit ninth- ...

... as assisting student with learning disabilities. Students with learning disabilities are able to learn effectively when pursuing highly motivating computer game learning tasks (Funk, 1993). Through electronic games, children can control levels of difficulty; game rules and tools for problem solving, allowing them to construct cognitive skills. Video game playing also contributes to improved hand and eye coordination, reaction time, and attention to detail. Some studies have shown that the format of video games, and the games themselves, can be effective when used for instructional purposes. Video games can a ...

... fabricated justifications and reacted without preparation, inconsiderate of the criticism which was definite to follow. A main concern of the United States was its 1,000 citizens on the island. Of these citizens, 600 were medical students at St. George University. Because of the political turmoil, the U.S. stated to its public that the students and citizens on were in danger. President Reagan also stated to the press that there was no way for our citizens to get off the island. However, the State Department had issued a formal note to asking about the safety of its citizen, to which the minister of external a ...

... closely, we would realize that they do not put any values on human life. In the Utilitarian point of view, every human life is worth the same. No matter what the status of the entity. Even if he were a president, or a teacher, or a janitor, or a beggar, everyone would be considered as one “unit” of human being. What Utilitarianism is all about, is consequences. How an action results in a consequence. If the consequence of an action is something good, then we gain positive utility, and negative utility otherwise. Therefore, Utilitarians justify their actions by calculating the utility they derive from ...

... with choice comes opportunity; the basis of the American dream. Wealth buys opportunity from the very start. An infant born into a wealthy family begins its life a league ahead of its poverty stricken counterpart. This is not so much because of the proximity of money, but because of what that money can do. Having ample funds allows the infants parents the freedom to spend more time with the child and it also makes the entrance of the baby much less traumatic for the family. The other family however will face a much greater economic shock with the coming of a child and as a result will have to devote even more tim ...

... in the same period of time of three weeks. A Look at Shiga Naoya's Style "At Kinosaki" is considered to be a fine example of Shiga Naoya's famous style of writing, and an exemplary model of the "I novel" (shi-shosetsu ) . It is also a work often used as a great example of a novel written in a movement coined as the "Naturalism" movement; which describes writers attempting to take scientific methods of observation and turn it into literature. Shiga Naoya is reported to have said that he never attempted to draw a line between story novels and non-fiction essays. He described his main function as a writer was ...
