Based upon what I have seen and heard during the last Presidential election, Bernie Sanders has emerged as my favorite political leader, whereas the newly-elected President Donald Trump fills me with shame and abhorrence to be a young college student. My opinion about these two men surrounds one issue: tuition-free four-year colleges and their unique stances on this significant issue. During the campaign trail, at rallies and lectures across the US, a big part of Senator Sanders’s appeal to younger voters was his promise to make four-year colleges tuition-free. According to Schramm & Stoetzer (2015), Sanders introduced a Congressional ...

We have recently come to a time where college education has grown to mean little apart from the increasing concern over high college tuition. Maybe it is only fair given the unreasonably huge cost which the colleges are charging, one which is rising even faster than inflation itself. But it is worth exploring the true benefit which is beyond the monetary cost itself here. College is far beyond its worth in money and people from previous generations are quite likely to be in agreement of what college meant and the benefits that it brought into their lives. With all ...

In his essay “ Down with the Four-Year College Degree!” Charles Murray challenges the idea that a college degree is actually able to help young people attain a higher IQ. He argues that this educational system is “implicated in the emergence of a class-riven America” (Murray Par 1). Here, Murray is making the argument that college education is itself a driving factor in the increasingly tenuous class relations that exist within the United States. He argues that a college degree has essentially become a distinguishing class characteristic. While in the past college was seen as something that people attended for ...

Genocide is one of the most debated crimes in the world. The Cambodian genocide is a dreadful occurrence that took in the mid-1970, but its consequences are still being felt today (Le Billon & Bakker, 2000). Much has been written about it movies have been acted with regards to its condemnation, and more is yet to come. In this essay, I explore the Cambodian genocide concerning the movie Escape from Sobibor 1987. The Khmer Rouge rose to take over the Cambodian government in 1975, with the primary intention of converting Cambodia into a communist agrarian utopia. In doing so, they ...

There is a consensus that to get anywhere in life, in this day and era one needs to quality education. According to a report formally released in 2009 by the National Governors Association, it is estimated that by 2015, nearly 76 percent of designated occupations will require a post-secondary certificate qualification or degree (Bachmann 1). College education can help students compete successfully in today’s job market, but choosing the degree program that meets that meets the market needs can prove challenging.

According to The Sport Journal, published by the United States Sports Academy, the NCAA revenues for the 2011-12 fiscal year were projected at $757 million, of which $452.2 went to Division I schools. (Johnson & Acquaviva, 2011). Although the organization makes a huge profit, the NCAA mindset is to contradict itself and to promote their athletes as amateurs, playing simply for a free education and the love of their sport. In one theory, this could make sense as almost all NCAA sports are non-revenue. In fact, football and basketball (mainly men’s) are the only sports capable of turning a profit for ...

The United States Naval Academy (USNA) was founded in 1845 by Secretary of the Navy, George Bancroft. USNA is a four-year coeducational federal service academy that prepares officers for commissioning chiefly into the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps.  It is located in Fort Severn in Annapolis, Maryland and thus the academy is also known as “Annapolis” (Baker B.T., Hocevar S.P. & Johnson, W.B., 2003; USNA website).

The history of USNA parallels the history of our country, with the Naval Academy undergoing the same cultural changes as mainstream society (Adamshick, 2010). It is the mission of ...

Education Standards in the State of Florida

It is no secret that good teachers are important. However, the meaning of teacher competition has transformed throughout the nation. The Educator’s Accomplished Practices has to be demonstrated in the state of Florida, and this is why the teaching practices and programs are being transformed by teachers/educators. Instead of perpetrating an outdated model and seeking to codify statewide expectations, a standards-based model was elected in the state. Although there are several education standards-based documents that are followed in the state of Florida, three documents that have been analyzed and will be discussed here are:

1. Florida Early Learning And ...

Most people consider higher education to be an advantage and a benefit that is supposed to increase a person’s chances to get a high-paid job and life full of abundance soon after graduation. The side effect that students and their parents usually agree to is high tuition fees and, thus, most probably six-figure student loans that will take a lot of time and effort to repay (Hacker, and Dreifus). Meanwhile, for their book Higher Education: How Colleges are Wasting Our Money and Failing Our Kids — and What We Can Do About It Andrew Hacker and Claudia Dreifus tracked over 900 former Princeton ...

Form of Government and Structure

A close analysis of New York City shows that it utilizes a mayor-council system form of governance. The fact that New York City falls is structured under the City Charted offers a comprehensive platform that enhances the success of mayor-council system of governance. Another crucial factor that is worth noting with regards to New York City’s government is that it is more unified than any other U.S. city. This is evident by the fact that the city’s government coordinates a wider array of matters regarding public education, welfare services, water supply, public safety, sanitation, recreational facilities, correctional institutions, as well ...

United States has seen major developments in every field, may it be technology, medicine, movies, and many more; however, one field that still needs a major revolution is Education. It is a harsh truth that education comes with a price; and U.S. is reputed as one of the costly nation to attend school. So, are the education costs decreasing the graduation percentage? I believe, the key contributor is the nationwide increase in the tuition costs that is resulting in the decrease of graduates, as the students are unable to meet the expense of the tuition costs imposed by the schools, colleges and ...

Abstract Charles Murray’s Are Too Many People Going to College addresses the concern of many who question the theory of whether too many students are going to college. By engaging a number of experts in the discussion, questions such as the effect on the economy if the number of students attending colleges increased substantially, who would or should pay for the students who attend college, and how do the costs of going to college outweigh the benefits of employment and so on are considered. Murray’s view that ten to fifteen percent of the nation’s youth has ...

Tuition in community colleges is normally cheaper than in the four-year universities. Students who normally want to save tuition fees can enroll in a two-year community college. Consequently, following the completion of their studies they can enroll and transfer credits to the four-year universities. The advantage of a two-year community college is that it offers general prerequisite courses that are also necessary for the four-year universities. Additionally, the differences in the tuition between the community colleges and the four-year universities vary from state to state. According to the Community College Policy Center (24), in a state such as Ohio, the cost tuition ...

When it comes to receiving a higher education, some still look down on community colleges, believing they are the lowest of the low. They do not see that community colleges can offer almost everything that a four-year university can offer in the way of education, as well as experience. Community colleges are also a cheaper alternative to four-year schools, given today’s economy. However, some areas that community colleges are lacking have become surprisingly crucial for students’ college experience. Many do not believe cafeterias are necessary on community college campuses; this is a problem. Cafeterias provide a central meeting place that allows students to ...

Coming of Age in Mississippi is an autobiography that was written by Anne Moody in 1968. I was surprised, how deeply the book touched my heart right from the very beginning.

So we observe a four-year-old girl at the beginning of the nonfiction, while in the end she is a beautiful young girl aging over twenty. This memoir describes a few very important conflicts and problems ...

The country has been chosen not only because is one of the best positioned economies in the region, but also has lots of underdeveloped areas where a solid international company could have a great impact on the communities located there. Nonetheless, given that Colombia is still on its way to full economic development, this report will evaluate demographic, cultural, political and institutional factors to determine the main elements that could constrain business growth in order to help the company make informed decisions to maximize ...

Timothy Noah’s invective against the high cost of college does not offer any new insight to those who have been faced with the exorbitant price of attending a university or college during the last decade or so. The reason for price inflation at the college level, according to Noah, is due to the fact that a college degree is an “obvious necessity in this economy that people will pay nearly anything for it, and colleges know that” (Noah 2013). According to Noah even after “controlling for inflation, tuition and fees have risen 26 percent during the past ten years at ...

Ways of settling college tuition for students in the United States

The college tuition fees have adopted exponential trend, in terms of the annual increase. Over five decades, the college fee structure has increased by two percent per year. Statistics shows that total tuition fee for public colleges amount to more than $ 14, 000 while private colleges is estimated to be $ 38, 000. As a result, there is twenty to forty percent in tuition fee over the last two years in the United States. The increase is attributed to the economic downturns such as inflation. The majority of students accumulate massive debts at the four-year course of their college education, which ...

Essay 1: CUTS FOR BAIL

(1)In the past decade, college tuition has risen three times as fast as the consumer-price index and twice as fast as medical care. One of the most important factors driving price at public colleges and universities has been the decline in state support for higher education. With rising tuition and declining state financing, students and families are assuming a growing share of college costs. Tuition revenues now make up about half of public university revenues. And with colleges facing larger pensions, health care and technology costs, the pressure to keep(2) raising tuition is intense. Critics of higher ...

ABSTRACT

Higher education costs have increased greatly in the last thirty years, in part because of increased federal and state spending and growing enrollments. In the recent recession, though, high unemployment and student debt among graduates have raised questions whether a four-year degree is still worth the investment. In certain fields, particularly science and technology, university graduates will have higher lifetime incomes than those with high school diplomas, but this is not the case for those with liberal arts degrees. Universities have been reluctant to change their policies in an era of reduced public spending, despite government demands for lower costs, ...

Quinn, I think the subject you are tackling is immensely valuable; far too often, it seems as though society is trapped into a cycle of progression where college has become an official next step in our lives, when that has not necessarily been true of previous directions. I feel a good way to focus your research is to definitively pick an alternative to a four-year college and explore the differences between the two. For example, you mention community colleges and apprenticeships; I would pick one and learn as much as you can about it as compared to a four-year college in your research. ...

The ancient concept of a Samurai warrior holding his sword or a young Geisha pouring tea plays a great role in interpreting the nation’s rich and distinctive cultural heritage which has been rooted in a history of traditional values and norms passed on from one generation to the next.

Should Schools Decrease Class Sizes to Improve Student Outcomes?

Introduction The idea that by reducing class sizes the students will automatically perform better and thus achieve higher grades may seem logical; i.e. that if the student-teacher ratio is lower, then the teacher can spend more time with each individual in the class. Also, that there is less likely to be disruption with a smaller number of students in the same room. It is a topic that has long been discussed, argued, and to some extent has also been tried, and has been the subject of various research studies over a considerable number of years. Much of the research has ...

In the film, the replicant models are only given four-year life spans because they are genetically engineered to be better than humans - stronger, more efficient, better reaction times. By the time they reach four years old, though, they have begun developing their own memories and emotional reactions. Because they are already adult sized and supposedly better than humans in important ways, there is a fear that the emotional immaturity they express may cause greater harm or that they will come to replace humans. This can be seen by comparing the two-year-old model Leon with the four-year-old model ...

Charles Murray, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), published the subject article: “Should the Obama Generation Drop Out?” (December 2008). He postulates that the current concept of a degree being a necessary qualification to get many jobs is misguided. Murray’s premise is that many jobs do not actually need a person with a degree. He cites what he suggests Obama should include in his every speech; what Murray refers to as “a battle cry”: “It’s what you can do that should count when you apply for a job, not where you learned to do it.” Using pathos to persuade his readers, ...

The impact of student services in any community college is affected by the school climate. There are many challenges facing the delivery of student services in colleges. First of all there has been a growing trend towards diversity in the classrooms which teachers have to recognize and appreciate. If teachers do not structure their teaching methods to cater for the student then their ability to appreciate and apply college education is hindered (Brooks, 2004: Brimijoin, Marquissee & Tomlinson, 2003) There are many students who go to community colleges to attend remedial classes. It may become difficult for the college to offer ...

Murray’s article called “Are Too Many People Going to College” reflects on the main thesis that more people should go to college. To support this statement, he capitalized on the idea that at this time, America’s classes are only providing college education to a focused group of elites since the focus of college education in the US is liberal education instead of teaching students how to make a living.

Courses in college that are focused on the study of liberal education such as philosophy and religious studies requires a higher intellectual capacity. Students taking these courses should belong to the ...

ABSTRACT Within South Africa there is a growing need for qualified Professional Nurses, as mental health nursing has consistently emerged as an unpopular career choice within the comprehensive nursing program (R425).
