The High Price of Materialism

I found this passage quite interesting because it was a research conducted on how people view things and how that shows how they are doing. I agree with the fact that if people who care about material items are less healthy and sane. I think they are too focused on the obvious and need to look pass the item itself. This passage made me want to not care about material items as much as when I started reading it. The studies focused on what was most important to the subjects and where their social alligensce lied. This shows how marketing effects people individually and what the after affects are. Also the passage showed that people who come from money tend to go toward materialization more often wince they can afford it. I think they are correct because I have grown up in a fancy school and watched kids fallen into the trap of materializing and lose almost every thing to smoking, drugs, and alcohol. Of course everyone is pursing wealth and that is not a bad thing but their are a few other priority's. Like health, family, food on the table, and shelter. This is instead of getting a down payment on a Ferrari.

Me talk pretty one day

Personally this was not one of the best passages but alright. I hated the teacher throughout the whole reading. I thought it was funny that he would try to write out the words in french. I personally am french and tried to encode the words and got nothing. I think it was also funny that he was from New York because I am too and our accents don't help. It is hard to pick up another language so I see where he is struggling. I took Spanish in school and struggled with till the last day. It is difficult for you to take it up unless you are around it all the time. I feel if you are surrounded by the native tongue then you are in a float or sink situation. All in all he picked up the language so the teacher must have been good and he must have had the dedication if he was not kicked out. Kicked out when the teacher was weeding out the students. I think that even though I hated the teacher some times you need teachers like that who will push students to their goals by lighting a fire under their..., you know what I mean.

Abortion is too complex to feel one way about

That sucks to have a child during college. I had an older friend who had a child when going into college and it was terrible for him. He claimed that it took over his life and was his number one priority. Although that is true I felt bad that he could not enjoy the fun parts of college. I feel abortions are wrong and should be frond upon but are needed in certain situations. For example if a women was raped and became pregnant I'm confident in saying she might not want care for it or if she was under aged too. On the other hand I think that women shouldn't be running around having abortions left and right. I guess you can say I'm pro choice if I give them the option too decide and I thought I would never be saying that. I think that a baby is one of the most adorable things and is an awesome moment when you find out you are a father or mother but should wait till you are at lest in your twenties. I didn't really enjoy the passage or reading about the unlucky kids who didn't think of wrapping before tapping.
