Free College One of the most common arguments in the political world, is should higher education be free or not. Five places in the United States offers free college: Point Lookout, Missouri; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Glen Cave, New York; New York City; and Haviland, Kansas. There are three reasons why college should be free for everyone. First, not everyone receives scholarships to help pay for tuition. Second, students who graduate will not have loans or debt when they graduate. Third,…

stood at the edge of campus on a sidewalk, handing out leaflets, speaking, and setting up their tables. When Berkeley moved the campus border, the students moved with it. The new sidewalk was narrower though, and it couldn’t handle as much activity. University President Clark Kerr decided to create a plaza inside the boundary for student political groups to operate on. This new area was supposed to be moved from the college to the city, but that transfer never happened, so the plaza, legally,…

Among undergraduate women “23.1%” of them report to have experienced rape and/or sexual assault (Campus). Those are only the individuals who actually report their assault. Imagine the amount of people who have not spoken up out of fear or embarrassment. Sexual assault has been an issue in many colleges over the past few years, yet no one has come out to do something about it. Women should be able to feel safe and be able to receive their education fear free. To help with this issue I think…

People say all the time how college isn’t worth the cost. According to procon.org, 20.2 million US college students in 2015, the average student debt is over $28,950. Now with student debt like that after college, it’s a little daunting. My topic is how you can prevent accruing that much in student debt and hopefully not have to worry about that after you graduate. Many people think “I won't get accepted for federal aid” or “I'll never get a scholarship or grant”. Well, that’s where people are…

College: To Go or Not to Go? Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill unveiled the constructive and adverse features of obtaining a college degree in the article, “Should Everyone Go to College?” “A bachelor’s degree is not a smart investment for every student in every circumstance” (Owen and Sawhill 222). The author’s stress to their audience that college is not for everyone and that’s okay. Additionally, Owen and Sawhill provide their reader’s with supportive statistics to deliberate upon within the…

some of the most important students at every university. They represent their school, and they are highly valued by the university they attend. “University of Missouri Campus Protests: ‘This is Just a Beginning’” explains that about thirty black Missouri University football players stated via Twitter that they would not participate in football activities until their president, Tim Wolfe, resigned for his recent mishandling of racial issues at the university. Soon after, Wolfe resigned…

In the year 1827, Mary Easton Sibley and her husband George Sibley founded the institution that is today known as Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. For 142 years, Lindenwood University was known as Lindenwood College for Women; then the board made the decision to include men in the enrollment. In this paper I will argue that women protested the allowance of men on campus in the years 1968 and 1969 because of current underlying tension that was already happening in the country.…

In a discussion about the paradigms of public education, Ken Burns addresses the controversial topic of cultural education. Public education is experiencing a time of confusion in helping children develop cultural identity so the new generation can continue to play an important role in globalization. This confusion causes an immediate reaction: continue to do what has been done in the past--instruct children to work hard, do well, and earn a college degree, then they will get a job. Many…

observed many children who have dropped out of college because they were not ready for the freedom of being on their own. I remember my next door neighbor only let her son attend a local community college. The other children attended colleges and universities far away from home, but he went to school nearby. The reason behind that is because his mom wanted to make sure her child was prepared for college mentally. She didn’t want her son to drop out because of parties, and not keeping up…
