 The worst decision I have ever made was probably in grade 6 when I took 5 of my friends to a concert in Edmonton. Now the problem was I could only invite 5 friends and I had more than 5 really good friends. In the end I ended up having to leave out one of my best friends. This caused a lot of tension between us and lead to her hating me. At first I didn’t realize the severity of the situation, I thought she would get over it in a couple weeks. But girls being girls she didn’t get over it and when it was time for grade seven she wanted nothing to do with me. Even then I though I was upset about her not being my friend I thought I might be able to get over it as long as I had my other friends to help me through. But to my surprise the five best friends who I invited to that concert, no longer wanted anything to do with me either. I was shocked but mostly hurt, I went from having tones of friends to having none in just a small amount of time. So there I was seventh grade and no friends what so ever. Everyone hated me and I went along time just like that. Nobody ever picked me to be partners with them and I usually ended up doing group projects by myself, I was never invited over to anyone’s house, and for the first time since kindergarten I wasn’t invited to my best friends birthday. That’s when it hit me that I needed to do something about it and stop moping. So I started sitting by my old friend and her new ones at lunch and in class and slowly but surly they excepted me. I now had got my best friend back and gained two more friends in the process. The reason this was the worst decision I have ever made was because I almost lost a true friend because I picked the friends that were the ‘popular’ ones instead of true ones.

Education, Hayek and Keynes Comparison

             John Maynard Keynes, was a British Economist that after the major economic down turn if the Second World War, composed economic ideas that would involve a more so involved government. He believed that in order to make an economy work the government needed to be involved. On the other side of the spectrum is Friedrich Hayek, a economist that based his theories on previous examples of failed economies like Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union. His concepts stated that those were two economies that were heavily government controlled and took away the freedom of the people. He states that you can't plan human society and the natural evolutionary wisdom from a free society is best.  Now to decide which one is related to the education system of Alberta.

             I believe that the Keynes system is the one that best describes Alberta's public education program. Public Education in Alberta is a program that is more so government involved.  The majority of our fees are payed by the government, our teachers are also payed by the government. Although our system is mostly Keynes there are aspects that go support Hayek as well. For ins-tense we pay taxes that go towards our provinces education. Also if you go to a private school it is not government involved. 

             So although our Education system has a few points that support Hayek it is much more so a Keynes based system.
