If everyone in my anthropology recitation is telling the truth, the future of the world is secured. Nearly every single person in that class answered "because i want to help people" when asked why they chose their respective majors. Example: "i'm a nursing student because i want to help people." "I'm a psychology student because i wanted to help people" "I'm a pre-med student because i wanted to help people."
If everyone wants to freaking help people, why are there so many mean people in the world? I mean seriously, if you're walking down the street, you see someone struggling with their grocery bags out of their car or something, would you stop and help them? No, you would only want to help those people if you're getting paid by them to help you. It gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside to help them, but only once you have recieved your payment.
ugh, it just doesn't make sense.
of course, maybe they just didn't want to say "cause i want to make money, and i've heard doctors make a lot of it" to the anthropology researcher who probably has to beg and plead for grants just to do research - well anyway. that's all for today.

i feel like people would be more helpful if we weren't constantly afriad of being mugged or raped. everyone's terrified of even making eye contact or saying hello, lest they get molested. *sigh* it's a messed up world we live in.
oh, and when did you become such a cynic?
