Samantha Nyborg LEAP Writing 2011-05 September 15, 2014 Critique Draft Megan McArlde is a journalist and blogger who focuses most of her writing on things like finance, government policy, and economics. In her article “The College Bubble,” a magazine article published in Newsweek on September 17, 2012, McArlde writes about how the “Mythomania about college has turned getting a degree into an American neurosis” (1). She focuses a lot on the value of getting a college education, and makes an argument that all the time and money spent on earning a degree may not be worth it in the end. McArlde uses several strategies to appeal to her reader’s, and does a great job of effectively using the Logos, Pathos, and Ethos appeals throughout her article.
“A lie can travel around the world while the truth is still putting its shoes on.” Nobody knows who came up with this wise proverb, but we all know it’s true. Perhaps nobody knows it better than our friend Stephanie Rapkin, an innocent attorney and cancer survivor who has been humiliated, embarrassed, harassed, threatened, stalked, excluded, and slandered because of a deceptively edited video that went viral on social media. Due to political pressure from outraged social media users, Shorewood’s District Attorney falsely charged Stephanie Rapkin with a hate crime. Millions of people expressed their outrage when they saw the deceptively edited video on social media, but almost nobody paid attention when a judge dismissed the hate crime charge.
Recently, many have begun to attack and degrade higher education in the United States. In the book How College Works, authors Daniel Chambliss and Christopher Takacs claim, “As state support has eroded, and as more students attend college in an increasingly desperate attempt to find viable jobs, the price to students of attending an institution of higher education has gone up, especially at more selective institutions” (172). So is college even worth it? Caroline Bird’s excerpt from her book Case Against College “Where College Fails Us” is an adequately written article that agrees with those who question whether college is a good investment. Bird argues that although some students would benefit from college and succeed, many fall short, wasting
By having to read and analyze the Florida Consent Decree and other related laws, I was able to comprehend my responsibility and ethical duty to make sure that my future ELL students’ rights are addressed and are in compliance with the law. In order to continue growing professionally, I will keep up with current laws that effective student’s rights and my ethical duty as an educator by reading academic educational journals and webinars. As a member of NAEYC and the current Vice-Present of the student chapter of Miami-Dade College SFAEYC-Interamerican Campus, I will participate in open forums on the NAEYC website about changes in policies and laws throughout the country that effect students and
“This began with the School of Law. A little that was really good was still found there—there was light-heartedness, friendship, and hope. But in the upper classes there had already been fewer of such good moments” (IX, 24-25). He sees that the few good memories from Law School did not involve the upper classes; that he once thought of as elite and superior. He recalls his first year in his “official career” and yet again only view moments of happiness.
“The dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to his ability or achievement (Adams 1).” A 2002 study found that 17% of student loan borrowers reported their loans had a significant impact on their career plans.13 Today, after the economic downturn, ASA’s survey suggests that number has nearly doubled, as 30% of respondents said their student loan debt was a deciding factor or had considerable impact on their choice of career. In addition, 52% said they either strongly or somewhat agreed with the statement that their “need to pay student loan debt is hampering my ability to further my career.” One ASA survey respondent commented, “I need to have two jobs because of my student debt, and I cannot take employment opportunities that will not make enough money, regardless of the potential that they may have in the future (American student assistance 5).” Relates to definition because they need to have 2 jobs to be able to pay off student debt.
Reading and collecting articles from The Wall Street Journal allowed me to see that there are legal issues involved with just about everything around us. The articles provided me with real life examples of how issues of legality play a role in our everyday lives, including college sports and academics. I will continue to read The Wall Street Journal to better educate myself with the day to day issues happening around me, in this country and around the
Nowadays, education becomes one of the most important ways for people to improve and realize their dreams. It not only empowers elite students to work harder, but also frees women from discrimination. However, Ho explained how elite education system blinded students’ eyes on what constitutes a good job. In the essay “Biographies of Hegemony”, Karen Ho mentioned that Wall Street companies hire the majority of their employees from elite universities, especially Harvard and Princeton. The culture and tradition of working on Wall Street after graduation exert high pressure on students at these elite universities, and limits their career options and expectations.
And in between, students are driven to take low paying and high paying jobs against their own consent, their interests are altered, personal decisions must be taken according to financial situations, and people dare to reject education (Choi, 32). Student loan debt weighs on billions of shoulders in the world and it is nearly impossible to be oblivious to all the harm that it has done and all the factors it takes part in affecting that it shouldn’t. If awareness could be raised and colleges would only consider to at least reduce tuition rather than eliminate it, that would still help do the nation well and commence improvement. An education must serve to inspire imagination and to motivate creativity in as many fields as possible. A society that is excellent is a society that presents opportunities for each and every member.
In office hours, my questions were not about what would be on the final, I asked about whether the Supreme Court foresaw affirmative action policies being subjected to strict scrutiny, under Equal Protection, when they decided race-based classification scheme were. My infatuation with the academic study of the law made me realize I could combine both of my passions and strive to become a professor of
