Blind Liberalism versus Bullying Conservatism
Submitted by Renee on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 12:30
As a last semester senior at an all women’s school, I feel that I could have written the book on liberal ideals. A product of my environment and life choices, growing up first in Providence, RI and then moving to Boston, has made a liberal (at least socially) bird out of me. But moving to an overwhelmingly liberal area, at least within my age demographic, has taught me one thing – and that is just because something is liberal does not mean it is good, and just because something is conservative does not mean it is bad. What is bad is blind belief.

Good Debt
Submitted by Julie on Wed, 02/24/2010 - 12:30
In a world where gainful employment for college graduates is sparse and tuition continues its astronomical ascent, how dangerous is your student debt? The Wall Street Journal reports how one woman, now a family practitioner, found out first hand. Michelle Bisutti finished medical school with about $250,000 worth of debt. Although this is already an intimidating amount, it has now ballooned to over twice as much at $550,000. How did this happen?

Should colleges recruit young teens?

Do you remember what it's like to be 13? Perhaps you were in the 7th grade like I was. My favorite class was Social Studies. My biggest worries revolved around getting good grades, winning sports games, and trying to stay under the radar when it came to bullies and gossip. Compared to the complexity of adulthood, I’d say I had it pretty good in junior high. At age 13, David Sills from Wilmington, Deleware has become the youngest athlete to commit to playing college football with the USC Trojans in 2015. Yes, that’s right, at 13. He’s not even in high school! Is this the right move or should college recruiting back off young athletes?
Introverts, You’ve Got it Goin’ On

I have recently published a blog post about being an introvert and thought that this week’s Sorbate topic on stereotypes would be the perfect opportunity to spread the good word about us introverts. If you haven’t noticed, the United States is a very extroverted society. As a minority, introverts encounter a lot of misconceptions especially in the workplace.
