Food for thought.

So I was flipping thru the papers. Apparently , the issue on "sex-for-grades" between the professor and the lady was all heated up last week.

Feeling a bit of ambivalent. Yes the professor was charged for being sexually initmate with the lady. And what she wanted was grades.

But who knows? Who knows that there might really be having some sort of love between them (though it hardly seemed to be the case) , what IF. Concrete proof of claimed bribery was shown and yes that lady probably showered the prof with more gifts.

But it is also hard to deny that society really perceives grades as probably, the most important criteria when considering employment . The one who acheived better grades gets more opportunities and have undeniably better career prospects. Securing a job that brings enough monetary satisfaction on top of personal interest is so important nowadays. Certificates are even more important than one's actual capability. Who dares to argue that money is not significant in this current world?  Without money, lots of things cant be fufilled. Even daily needs cant be met without money. Money makes people feel contented and happy. That is probably why everyone strives to get the best of the best grades so as to be better assured of their future. In other words, the girl's concerns can be understood to a certain extent.  No I am not saying its ethically right for her to commit such acts in exchange for grades. But in this competitive world, one is probably just too stressed out and thus chose the 'wrong' way to pursue things . Its somehow or rather , the key to survive in this ever-changing world . No it is also not that if she cant get a job she would die, of course. In the end , I guess the one who is suffering most is the prof's wife. Who could stand a partner's infedility ?

Just some of my thoughts and feelings. :)
