In 2013, Americans started to question if preschool should be mandatory and if the government should fund preschool. 70% of American’s say programs should be available for every child. The majority argues that there is no benefit, but they are incorrect. Preschool should be mandatory because it helps them academically and develops socially and emotionally. Unfortunately parents display the concept of not wanting their child to begin an early education. Preschool being mandatory is a good thought…

The System of Education since 100 B.C.: When males were only allowed to receive an education and females stayed home. It is amazing to see the progress throughout the years going from only males receiving an education to both females and males being able to attend school. When receiving an education it should not only be learning, but rather helping students receive the education needed to learn and enjoy. The problem is that nowadays teachers main focus is to make sure that students learn a…

The Great Depression is a major part of American history and had a significant role in the growth of the motion picture industry. From 1929 to 1939, America was in an economic recession that impacted most industries for the worse. The film industry had to adapt to the economic downturn by accommodating to their audiences. As Morris Dickstein shows in Dancing in the Dark: A Cultural History of the Great Depression, even though the decade was of economic downturn, it “created a vibrant culture…

When the party ended, people started to leave, and I waited with a group of friends for our rides to come, each of them asking me if I wanted a lift. I pleasantly declined their offer and said good-bye. Then I looked to the left and to the right, only to notice I was the last one at the school. I then laid on the grass and started to look at the partially clouded sky. This got me thinking that nothing ever stays the same and change would inevitably happen. It was relaxing and after a while, my…

always learned to make the most of the experience whether that comes from learning the material or just meeting new friends in my classes. My experiences have differed from grade to grade but I could clump the majority of experiences by the educational stages that include Elementary School, Middle School, and High School. I went to Bryant Ranch Elementary school from Kindergarten to the sixth grade. My favorite teacher in Elementary would have to be Mrs. Smith. She was my favorite teacher…

Does preschool education have a long-term effect on children? This is a question that does not have just one single answer. In today’s society, whether or not your child receives a preschool education is solely a decision the parents have to make, whereas when I was younger, not every child was able to go to preschool. In today’s society, children do not have to partake in a test to get into a preschool program like the children that grew up in the previous decades. Although some people feel as…

When we are growing up we change what we want our professions to be, as an adult, several times. At least, that’s how it is for most people. Even after we are grown up and in college, there is still a possibility that we can find a new calling. It’s a normal thing. No one is born knowing what they want are going to do as an adult. Growing up I went through five different choices of what I wanted to be. First was a lawyer, then a veterinarian, then a radio host, then a music producer, then my…

A Yellow Raft in Blue Water Through the Psychoanalytical lens Sigmund Freud’s theory of psychoanalytic’s gives us insight into the different layers of a person’s psyche. The three layers of a person psyche’s get more complex as they go on, with the id being the most infantile, the ego being more rational, and the superego relying on complex thinking. The level of development of a person’s unconscious psyche depends largely on the way in which they were raised. In his novel A Yellow Raft in Blue…
