People vary in the way in which they perceive, process and react to environmental stimuli, and 20-30% of the general population is highly sensitive to environmental factors. Highly sensitive people are more likely to suffer negative consequences in response to adverse environments and, conversely, to benefit more from positive environments than less sensitive individuals. […]

A common issue addressed by candidates during the last U.S. presidential election, was one of college affordability and the current amount of student loan debt.The U.S. has reached $1.7 trillion in student loan debt making it a challenge worth exploring.This manuscript investigated the culpability of three groups of people that have contributed to the student loan deficit.The manuscript begins with a brief history of the current student loan debt crisis in order to orient the reader.Then, the government's role in providing loan monies was explored as the first discourse.The author makes the argument that government leaders have failed in their commitment to the American tax-payer.Next, student loan borrowers have their fiscal literacy and demonstrated responsibility contested.Student loan borrowers, asserts the author, need a more suitable education about the loan/repayment contracts in which they engage.The third entity examined were institutions of higher education.Colleges and universities had their decisions analyzed that have led to unaffordable higher education.The author concludes with final thoughts that indicate each of the three major contributors have some amount of liability in the growing deficit.The author will close with final thoughts and questions regarding the discourse of declining fiscal responsibilities in American higher education.
This research is centred on teacher use of interactive simulations to support grade 6 natural sciences learners during guided inquiry.
