Some schools, like Wittenberg University, requires the students that attend to perform community service as a graduation requirement. In my opinion, I believe colleges should not be allowed to make community service a graduation requirement. I believe this because if you were a college student who works, where/when would you find the time to perform community service between working, studying and attending classes? Also, if student’s have to perform community service, it may interfere with their…

Students Work While Attending School? In the last few decades, the numbers of students who are always looking for a part time job while they are attending college is increasing every day. According to a recent study was published in 2015 by the Georgetown University in Washington D.C, the number of students who have a job while studying were estimated about more than 70 percent of college students in the US (Carnevale 10). Because of so many fees and costs that students have to handle, working…

Before I entered college, I never asked myself why I wanted to go on to higher education. I just assumed it was normal to go on to postsecondary education, just like my older brothers and my parents did. Not even once did my high school councilors talk to my class about alternative education, it was always college, college, college, from day one. So in turn, I never pondered the questions; where am I going?, why am I doing this?,or, what is the purpose of all this? As Alina Tugend, New York…

Racism and hate is alive and well. Racist speech and hateful comments still find its way into people’s lives, especially minorities. Whether people are offended by it or not, it is not morally correct to inflict such hate on another human beings. These types of speech can be found on social media, and television shows, or even local places like in neighborhoods and schools. Today, regulating racist forms of speech and hateful comments everywhere would be nearly impossible. All though, it is…

Affirmative Action—the consideration of race in college admissions—allows colleges to admit students based on their race to increase campus diversity, even if their academic standing is not as high as other students applying to the university. A common fallacy is that minorities are underrepresented in higher education, and while this may be historically accurate, there is a new group that is losing the benefits of higher education—lower class students. By extending more opportunities to these…

The jobs that are left are more complicated ones that require people to solve problems and work together, according to Anthony Carnevale (2015), director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. "It is time to recognize that the transition from an industrial to a post-industrial economy has resulted in a shift away from an economy rooted in high school-level skills to an economy anchored in…

settings and ensure the continuance of social acceptance in that setting. The young men described in the article learned to have ease in the setting of Urban Prep. This ease was not transferred or applicable to the new settings in the different universities they attended. As Moore stated, “ I didn’t read clearly. I didn’t ask questions in class. I just took notes…I was doing what it appeared other people were doing”. His lack of knowing how to actively participate in this new setting led to…

On the other hand, it can be argued by the data above, that making a global community faculty was not necessarily the goal for the participants interviewed, and this is adding up to the intrinsic value Cooper and Mitsunaga found. Global Faculty Community is sensed as another important tool to achieve a deeper and greater goal, namely, the building up of knowledge and sharing for the sake of education. Either directly or indirectly, each professor participant of this small study made such…
