Ch. 5 Q. 6

I realize what I wrote may sound offensive, please note that I did not mean it to be taken so in any way.

I think the topic of student loans is relevant to all of us in this class at this moment. The idea of people paying their loans back in a technically unfair fashion is ridiculous if Bill Clinton thought that people would actually go for that. I can see why the idea would sound good without the proper information, but once the idea it is fully explained, the flaws are obvious. If someone chooses an extremely expensive line of study, they should have a plan of action to pay it back, period. Fair and square, so to speak.

The importance of the degree of problem solving that went into the maternity leave package was necessary and well done. I think everyone can appreciate how economics is doing its job well to modernize itself along with the social issues of today. However when it comes to discrimination, "rational discrimination," personally I think people are way too uptight. As a society we have to let go of previous mistakes in history that caused these discriminations. But realizing the possibility of this happening is not probable, people should make more of an effort to take down the social differences. One way of doing this would be young people going to a job interview looking as presentable as possible. If a teenager expects to get a well paying job by showing up to the interview in ripped jeans, a tongue ring, an eyebrow piercing and heavy makeup, discrimination will probably not in her favor. Image is everything, especially for a first impression.
