As many know, the presidential elections have caused a huge spark across the United and even the world. The 2016 presidential election is one of the most controversial elections the United States has ever faced in a very long time for various reasons. The three candidates, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders are fighting to win America’s vote but all of them have very different options that targets only certain groups of citizens.When it comes to the topic of free college education, most of us will readily agree that this sounds like a huge relief for college students. Where this argument usually ends, however, is on the question of who actually pays the tuition? Whereas some are convinced that more students will attend college …show more content…

Many people across the globe are even trying to involve themselves with the US elections, however, all of the candidates unfortunately have their own flaws. Sadly, there is no flawless candidate that will improve our country. Many people believe that this election is one of the most difficult since all of the candidates have flaws and each of their views are very diverse. Candidates like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump do not appeal to many people for various reasons. The candidate I will be arguing about is the infamous, wealthy business man, Donald J. Trump. He has caused a major tantrum in our nation by introducing ideas of building a wall across the Mexican border, banning entry of individuals who are muslim, and much more. The candidate that I believe is the best option for the United States of America is Senator Bernard Sanders because of his ideas focusing on universal healthcare, make public colleges tuition free, and taxing Wall Street. I don’t agree with Donald trump. He contradicts his idea on saving the economy, but the wall will cost million of dollar and jobs. Bernie is a …show more content…

He wants tax rising on rich people, he doesn’t talk about social security benefits. Trump always talking about trade, taxation, foreign policy, Monetary policy, etc. He wants a powerful economy, he doesn’t interest in poor people life. Trump opposite to Bernie. Bernie gave to first priority of people social life, but trump gave to first priority economic life. I don’t like trump views, because he think about economy not social life. He wants rise up an economy. Trump wants to ported illegal immigrant people living in USA. Another issue Bernie Sanders addresses is making college tuition free at public colleges and universities, lower student loan interest rates, and make sure all children have access to a good quality education. He mentions this throughout his campaign to make college education free or affordable. On the website feelthebern.org, they discuss what Sander’s views are regarding education. He introduces the S 1373: College for All Act, which makes all public colleges and universities tuition free. He believes that there are many people in the United States who are qualified to further their education but are unable to do so because of not being able to afford it. Back in 1965 Pell Grants covered 75 percent of tuition, now it only

In the summer of 1787, a Constitutional Convention was called to revise the Articles of Confederation. Many of the delegates intended to use this convention as a way of drafting a new constitution. The main issue discussed in the convention was representation of the states. The Articles stated that each state had a single vote in Congress, but the bigger states wanted representation based on population. James Madison then proposed the Virginia Plan, and the larger states supported his idea.

Most of the candidates in this election seem to overlook these topics. Jill Stein focuses on various topics directed towards education that the other candidates ignore. One point is, she envisions college tuition to be free. Regardless of FASFA and high paying jobs, some students are still unable to afford college tuition. What about the students whose parents make too much money to qualify for financial aid, but all of their parent’s money is going to bills?

He has done this through passionate speeches that appeal to the anger and the desire of Americans to “make America great again". Like Sanders, Trump has also brought new ideas to the 2016 election. Trump has argued that too many free trade agreements are forcing American manufacturing companies to move abroad. He also talks of the massive trade deficits the United States has with Mexico and China. Trumps biggest policy change from GOP norms is his plan of building a wall across the southern border of the United States to further reduce illegal immigrations.

The main problem with elections today, or at least a problem worthy of being put on the top ten list, is the cynicism that plagues American politics. Americans are cynical because, they sense their vote won't change anything. More specifically, Americans feel that their elected representatives will just listen to the interests of the top 1%. There is some truth to this. The 2014 Congressional Elections were some of the most expensive in American history.

There are numerous people vying to be the Republican candidate for the 2016 Presidential election. Of all the current candidates, Donald Trump is one that will get America back on track because he believes in our education, he has strong opinions on immigration, and he believes the people of Americans should have their 2nd Amendment protected. One reason I would vote for Donald Trump is that he believes in our education system. When the Common Core was implemented Trump voiced his opinion. He said, “Our Common Core is a disaster.”

Discussion Questions Part two The Concept of Double Consciousness as Described by Du Bois For many years until only about a few years ago, African Americans have had many difficult experiences as they have searched for their true cultural identity in the American society. The common method of identification of African Americans was their black skin color, hence the name Negros, blacks, and colored people. The African Americans were poor, and discriminated by the rich white people that forced them to adopt a new cultural identity and to be assimilated by the dominant culture while at the same time struggling to maintain their original cultural identity.

Education is an essential component of personal and societal growth, and higher education has been shown to have a positive impact on both individuals and societies. Free college tuition is a contentious issue that raises important questions about the accessibility and affordability of higher education, and while there is so much to support the idea, there are also some drawbacks that must be considered.

I rather optimistically believe these factors won’t help Trump become president in a diverse first world country. I also think the American people may have slightly lost there trust in the republican party after George W Bush’s 8 years in office, until they provide a truly alternative campaigner, I believe the democrats will stand a better chance of winning. On the opposite end of the spectrum Bernie Sanders is being hailed a hero by a lot of people for his articulate and honest approach to US politics, he is the oldest candidate of the 4 I’ve mentioned and perhaps the wisest, his ideas seem to lend themselves to a more caring and open society, despite a lot of them seeming radical and even ‘communist’ to the more traditional westerners. Sanders wants to strictly regulate wall street and have fairer tax laws on corporations/ the richest 1% (he seems to want more sharing and less greed). I wonder whether electing a president like this would be to big of a step for the general consensus, if Bernie and Hilary are the two choices from the democratic party, I feel as though most would see Hilary as the safer bet.

Sanders has publicly stated his opposition to free-trade agreements like NAFTA, the TPP, etc. He says that these agreements encourage globalization which in turn, costs Americans jobs that could have been available in the United States.

He wants to build a great wall to block out all immigrants. Recently he said “Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life (Donald Trump).” He is causing a lot of stir in the political

For those who have graduated from high school and will continue with their higher education, many if not all of these students will have to pay out of pocket for college. Most of students think that if they graduate from college or a four-year university they will have a chance to work in the professional field rather than work for minimum wage. It is an opportunity for anyone, particularly those who have low wages, to earn a degree and make more money. In the article “Expanding Community College Access” from The New York Times, President Obama states that tuition for community college should be free, because the American workforce is not educated enough for the global and national workplace.

The Cost of College in the United States of America Attending college leads to a devastatingly high financial cost for the majority of Americans. Even more devastating, however, are the hidden costs of college, deriving from the financial costs, which severely damage the overall happiness of the United States and its people. To combat this issue, numerous colleges have implemented tuition-free education throughout the country’s history. These efforts are being met with opposition from various taxpaying Americans. Although tuition-free college may raise taxes for upper-middle and upper class American citizens, the United States must still work towards a future with tuition-free college because it reduces financial stress, strengthens the United States itself by gaining public approval, and strengthens the economy.

Today, the discussion of free college tuition seems to come up often, especially during each political cycle. As Americans, it is important to make educated decisions while voting for the politicians that will represent you.
