Grades

     Why is so much in your life determined by a couple of letters and numbers. These two markings are the two biggest factors and influences in where you will go to college, what societies and groups you may get in, and probably your career. This is were I think colleges and schools have the wrong idea in that it is not the number at the top of your paper but the knowledge you have gained during the time building up before that actually matters. This may be easier then having long period conversations and talk with each applicant but may be the only way you get to truly know the person. Schools all over America inflate their grades also to gain more money, attention, and a false reputation but that is another issue for another time. Even the student has adopted this mindset of focusing on the number and not the knowledge being attained. People now have gotten into the routine of memorization and not gaining understanding of a new concept or idea. This may earn you an A for the time being but does nothing for you in the long run.

Way of Living

     I just whated to talk a little more about the human's approach to everyday life. This is an interesting concept that brings all sorts of thoughts like why am

I even sitting in a place with a bunch of homo-homosapiens writing about this on this technological device that you are probably looking at too. Every decision we make shows our character and is a reflection of our personality. Everyone develops a guiding means that they live by because they think it is either right, moral, or just what everyone else does. Humans have adapted a way of living and have created this " daily schedule" that you are supposed to live by in order to be considered a normal person. You mainly develop your character and way of living based on your surroundings. Since most are only exposed to humans their whole life then they just follow their action and the process continues for the next generations. "The Way of Living" is a human way to identify how one approaches their everyday lives. This human created lifestyle may or may not be the true way to live, but it is just what has become accustomed to us. Usually people grow up in a household, go to a school, then another school, have some fun here and there, get a job, work for a while, retire, then there physical body departs. Now I am not saying this is nessacarily a bad way of living but is just interesting to think about how this approach of daily life came into swing.
