Todays discussion about average really got me thinking. I mean it is no surprise that there is corruption in this world but I was amazed by how easily one can manipulate an outcome by the use of a word.
The story that the professor told us in class about the pollution reducing to nearly ZERO was very insightful and funny. He opened a can of worms that the I believe senator he said didn't know the answer to.
I learned a valuable lesson today, to question what average is because, the average is not the same for everyone and it can persuade you to make a decision that can very well be in your best interest or not. There is a mode, median and mean to average. There is no such thing as simply "average".
