3 Questions

Why is there a lack of participation? In my opinion the lack of participation has more to do about the fact that contrary to the previous générations ours does not care much to get involved in that kind of activities. The young men and women of that generation care more about entertainment than helping other people out.


Which is better? Volunteering or service learning? I would personally think that people volunteering by themselves would be better then making them to do it with service learning. But since our generation is quite lazy and must of us have a hard time doing our own dishes helping other people out seems sadly out of the question. So taking that into account, i would say that service learning might just be wath our generations needs to make it realise of gratifying helping other people out might be.


What is the best way to encourage people to get involved? Sadly, I think there is no miracle solution to motivate people to get involved. People who have easy do not want to heard about other people misfortune most of the time and those who have it hard concentrate much more on making their life happier before even thinking about helping other, and who can blame them? Helping other is a decision that must be taken by the individual not imposed on him. If you force someone to do public services, you migh just make it a bad experience for that person witch in return will never want to do it again. In the other hand the same person may also find it to be a rewarding experience and decide to make it a habit. This will change form person to person and that why they are not miracle solution for that problem.

Tuition Problem

After reading the tow articles about the raise in student tuition I must admit myself worried. But it is not the rise in tuition that worries me.  What I am worried about is the possibilities of the student going on strike. If the student do go on strike it will interfere with my studies progress making slowing me down and making the cost of the loan I own grow bigger.

If I am not mistaken, here in Quebec the gouvernment pays more than 80% of our school inscription cost for us so even if they do rise the price we will end up paying only around 20% percent of it. Wich is not as bad as some of us would think. Even so, I must admit that I am wondering if I will be able to keep studying living only from the money given to me by our government. Will they also rise the amount of money they loan to student like me? In witch case even if I end up having more dept this is a sacrifice I am wiling to make.

 One of the main reason people are complaining is another case of people being given a feet but ask for a meter instead. After all, even if they are still other province or state who have less expansive tuition the great majorities of them are gving far less or not at all for example in the united states most student who manage to make it to university have to either come from a rich families or manage to get a scholarship. So in my umbel opinion our student should just take example from those who are given less than us instead of complaining about the fact that some other are have more than us.
