678 Words3 Pages

What do you thing about our generation? Do you think men are lazy? Do you think women have more support from their parents and schools? It is true that more women are graduating in the college. There are so many questions come up in our mind when we hear that more women are graduating in the college. In the article “What’s Going on… and What’s Going Wrong… with Our Boys?” by Judith Kleinfeld says that “one of four college educated women will not have a college educated man to marry”. She is trying to spread the message about how women are more in college and graduating than men. She is trying to encourage men to go to college. She also interviewed a lot of men and they said they didn’t want to work behind the desk. They have strong hands they can use it. They can work at construction and car repairing. Some men did say, they did not get support from their parents while their sister did get support. She …show more content…

I have seen so many men dropped out of the college. I do agree with her about women don’t want to rely on their husband. This is a very good thing because what if a girl ended up having a divorce and if she is not educated, she can’t make good money. In the interview, some men said that they did not get support from their parents. I don’t know about them. What I think is they don’t get support from their parents because they ended up having bad grades in the school so they are scared that their kids might waste their money and ended up dropping the college. About school, I totally disagree with them who said they get more opportunities. I might be wrong and they might be right, but I am talking about my experience. I have changed a lot of schools due to my parent’s job. In my every school I have never seen a woman get more opportunities than men. It is all about how well you do in the school. I have seen more men get a scholarship than women because they have done very well in the

“Where The Boys Aren’t- The Gap On College Campuses” When reading this article by Melana Zyla Vickers the reader’s first impression is to assume that just by the title “Where The Boys Aren’t- The Gap On College Campuses” that the article is about pro-feminism.

In the articles, “Is College Worth It” written by David Leonhardt and “Why College Isn’t for Everyone” written by Chris Matthews, both writers build an argument to persuade readers that attending college is for everyone and is a time to emphasize one’s thoughts for the future. In the article, “Is College Worth It”, Leonhardt begins his argument by using statistics. Leonhardt states that, “Americans with four-year college degrees made 98 percent more an hour on average in 2013 than people without a degree” (Leonhardt, par. 3). This implies that individuals who have earned a bachelor's degree or higher are more likely to earn more money per hour compared to those who do not have a degree.

However, claiming your education doesn’t only apply to one sex or the other. It applies to both sex, but majority of the time it has proved to be different for women.

While men are expected to be the head of the household and obtain jobs within different industries of their choosing. Women seem to be severely underestimated in the qualities they possess.

According to Henry Bienen, president emeritus of Northwestern University speaking as a panel member in an Intelligence Squared debate “Too Many Kids Go To College, “. . . more years of school, post-secondary, are positively correlated with earnings over one’s lifetime, and also correlated with lower rates of unemployment and shorter duration being unemployed when a higher degree is obtained. ” (8) The American middle class is rapidly shrinking.

The authors’ emphasis on “on average” is very effective at showing how their point makes sense and why it should be taken into consideration. I found the way that the authors focused on the minority more than the majority was skillfully effective at showing how some career paths do not require a college education and that the return in investment would not be worth the cost. Throughout their argument I found the writers to mostly use Logos and Ethos in their writing. The Logos is evident by the way they use statistics and the Ethos by how they state telling someone the only way to be successful is to go to college is a disservice. This is effective at making the reader think about how this should affect the decision of going to college and whether they should push someone to go to

I would have to agree with Charles because college is begin focused upon us by our teachers, guidance counselors and our parents. Being forced to going to college is not the best because if the young adult doesn’t want to pursue a higher degree, and forcing the person into college, he/she won’t want to study and the two or four years will be a waste of time. Charles other point he makes is that people who believe their smart want to go to college. I would have to disagree, why because everyone is equal and it’s their decision on whether they go to college. Even if you get bad grades in high school that not the case when you go to college.

Throughout the essay Bird makes several points to support her overall argument that a person does not need college to succeed. She says that college does not work for everyone and believes a degree is not essential. In “Where College Fails Us,” Caroline Bird invalidly argues that all college graduates find themselves working meaningless jobs and that no one needs a college degree to be successful. First, Bird states that “College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis.” However, this point is flawed because not only does she not give any evidence to support her claim, but it is inaccurate.
