ONLINE SCHOOLiNG

Online schooling... is it the future of teaching. Although I am a fan of online classes, there is a lot that you get out of a in-class class. The teacher-student interaction is very important to many students. Pheonix college already has a full online program but personally i would not be able to do that. There is something about going to the school to learn. I do believe that in the future there will be more and more online classes going on. The more a think about it, the Wally movie is so close to where our world is headed, that everyone just stays at home and does everything from their home. I don't believe that we should do that though! There is so much a person gets from human interaction... i don't believe that online students are much different then traditional students in the classroom, i took 2 online classes because i work full time and take 15 hours a semester, so it is just a little more convientent to do online. i do not believe online will completely take over but i do think that in the future there will be much more available for online. I also do not think that students should have to take online courses because they are not for everyong. Each person learns differently and i do not think it would be a good idea to take away the inclass learning from students.

FOOD

I love going out to dinner and lunch. I think that it is fun and gives me time to talk to the people i care about. I probably shouldn't like eating out as much as i do but oh well, we only have one life to live right? Some fast food is really bad for you but i do have to vouch for some of them, they are starting to add more wholesome food to their menus. Take McDonalds for example, they have greasy hamburgers and frys but you can also order a grilled chicken salad with light ranch and some fruit on the side. I don't think that the government should regulate any of it because i think that there is happy medium that they are taking. We the consumers over all have a say more than congress of what's on the menu. I work in retail at walgreens so i can catch onto corporate because if we have items that no one ever buys they take it off the shelf and double face a good selling product. Same applys to McDonalds, if people stopped ordering BigMacs they probably would eventually stop selling them because it costs them in the long run to have the stuff to make it but never making a profit. We have a choice to what we consume. Yes a big juicy burger sounds amazing but is it a well balanced item that we need to be consuming. I am a busy busy bee when the semesters are in because i work full time and try to keep up with going to school and writing papers and doing homework, i barely have time to think about eating. but what i need to do personally is think more about what i am feeding my body. Is it good or bad i am putting in my mouth? Let's take Chick fila for example. Chicken is good and so is beef for you because it's protein but is a 12 count nugget meal with a large waffle fry and large coke good for you? everything is ok in moderation, we jsut have to draw the line. Chickfila also has coleslaw and fruit cups that can be had with any meal and you can get a grilled chicken sandwich on wheat bread... We choose not the government. Yes america is a fat country but it's our decisions. Our government is not a dictatorship so they should not be able to regulate what we choose to BUY and EAT... they already take a ton of our money why should they take our frys too!!!!
