...Furthering your education beyond high school is very important and much needed in today’s society. But, when is the right time to go to college? Is it immediately after graduating high school or later in life? Having a degree can impact your income and career path in a positive way. Both can be beneficial and challenging to a person. The choice is solely based upon the student’s determination and dedication to succeed at receiving their degree. Nowadays, colleges are made up of students of all ages and back grounds that have chosen the right time to obtain their college degree. When you continue your education following high school you are more likely to follow the traits that you had in regards to studying and homework. As a student who attends school later in life it may not have that discipline and find it hard to stay focused and the information that you may have obtained earlier in life may be forgotten. The amount of information you are taught can be harder to retain when you take the time off opposed to an individual who has continued their education with no time off. Also when you are a younger learner you have less responsibilities and more support emotionally and financially from your loved ones....

...Free College Education: Right vs Privilege In one of his speeches, Leonard L. Boswell, a former U.S. Representative for Iowa's 3rd congressional district, quotes “The American Dream is one of success, home ownership, college education for one's children, and have a secure job to provide these and other goals” (Ersoy). Over the years, college tuition fees have increased immensely. Statistics show that the average in-state tuition fees at public four-year schools increased from $8,646 in 2012-13 to $8,893 in 2013-2014. In 2013-14, the percentage increase in tuition fee prices for out-of-state students was 3.1% which was slightly higher than that for state residents at public four-year institutions. There was an increase from $12,887 to $13,310. The $110 increase in average tuition and fees for full-time students in a public two-year colleges reflected a 3.5% increase from $3,154 in the years 2012-2013 to $3,264 in 2013-14. The $1,105 increase in average published tuition and fees for full-time students at private nonprofit four-year institutions reflected a 3.8% increase from $28,989 in 2012-13 to $30,094 in 2013-2014 (“Trends in Higher Education”). Furthermore, between the years 2001 to 2011, at least a third of states experienced funding cuts. During the recent recession in 2008, total public funding for higher education has declined by 14.6 percent (O'Shaughnessy). Consequently, the escalating cost of college tuition has threatened educational opportunities for...

...The Right Nudge “I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.” – Markus Zusak. Words are my greatest friends and enemies. They cause my emotions to spur up and spill over more than people or pictures have ever been able to do. They make me cry out in anger or grief or make me laugh so much, my stomach and cheeks hurt, but in the best way possible. They give me the strength and courage to face the next day, even when everything seems to go wrong. Words fascinate me and have done so for as long as I can remember. It began with reading novels and from that, my fascination grew into a love and curiosity for: poetry, music, short stories, foreign languages, movies and conversations. Words have affected me in every way they exist and I owe it all to one children’s book. When I was younger, I did not like to read. My father always encouraged me to do so, so of course I did not since I would not get...

...|The Research on College Students’ Part-time Employment and Current Situation of Safeguarding Their Legal Rights | June 7, 2011 Abstract Nowadays, college students’ taking part-time jobs is becoming a common phenomenon. College students, a group people who are the pioneers to build the future society, their behavior on choosing and doing part-time jobs and legal rights maintaining have great significance to research. We assessed the college students’ performance on part-time job employment by analysis of 390 questionnaires, using SPSS software and other data analysis systems. Based on the research, we find that majority students have strong desire to take part-time jobs, but lack knowledge of relevant law and actions to protect their lawful rights and interests. In the end of the paper we come up with several suggestions to today’s college students on choosing part-time jobs and self-protection. KEY WORDS Part-time employment. College Students.

...first amendment rights tell us that we have free speech, along with some other freedoms, and that should mean free not limited to certain areas. The people on campus should have the right to say what they want and not fear getting in trouble for it. These people should have the same rights as if they were not on campus, but that does not seem like how it is. The schools are there to help the students and to teach them better and newer things in life. Colleges are not there to restrict your rights, they are there to help you learn and to help you get a career after you graduate. They do have free speech on most campuses, but they have designated it to certain zones. These zones are a good idea, but it is our first amendment right to have the freedom of speech and they are slowly taking that away from us on campus. The administrative forces have been trying to punish these people that are not following by their rules. These colleges are trying to limit the free speech of students in their schools. These people try to take a stand with peaceful protests, but they just end up getting...

...proposal to eliminate the ban of selling kidneys so that college students can pay for college has sparked much debate on the ethics of human rights and morality. The question is whether or not selling body parts for money is moral. I will be discussing how Utilitarianism, Kant’s Theory, and Negative Natural Rights theory determine morality and whether each theory deems the proposal as a moral act or not. The first theory we can use in deciding if selling kidneys for tuition is ethical is Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism determines morality by saying an act is moral if it creates the greatest overall utility. This means it will require that we sacrifice our own pleasure and happiness for the greater good. The first step in determining the moral worth of the act is defining the utility. In this situation, financially poor student are selling their kidney to pay the tuition costs to go to school. The groups that are being affected are college students who cannot afford tuition and people who are in desperate need of a kidney. In the UK, “three people die every day in the UK while awaiting kidneys”. There is a clearly a high demand of kidneys. Since utilitarianism looks to produce the greatest overall utility, we need to measure the consequences to determine whether the positive consequences outweigh the negative consequences. The positive consequences are that poor students receive money for their kidneys so they can pay for college, and people who are in need of a kidney receive them...

...On July 1, 1971 the right to vote at the age of 18 was ratified. 43 years later we are now here in 2014 and college students still don't feel the need they should vote. Students don't realize how important their vote would be if they voted. This generation fails to realize the impact they would have on the world if they would take the time out to cast a ballot. College students should vote because we have the right to do so, our vote matters, and we should have input in our future. College students should vote because we have the right to do so. The importance of our future lies within voting. We should use this right to our full advantage. Not using this right shows disrespect to those who fought for us to have the right to vote. Without this right, college students wouldn't be where they are today. Another reason why college students should vote is because our vote matters. Politicians focus on college student numbers when we request any concern. If a low ratio of students cast a ballot , the lower the feedback will be for that concern. Politicians also focus on college student voting statistics because we are the ones who will be living amongst the changes that will be put in place. The voting age was lowered for a reason. That reason is to give the younger generations a chance for their voice to be heard. Last, but not least college students should vote because we should have input in our future. No one wants a future someone else has planned for them. To vote is to...

...There are many situations that occur that you have no control over. This happened to the students at Umpqua community college when a man walked in and opened fire; leaving ten people dead and seven more severely injured (New York Times). The fact that that he was able to walk into the college and have total control is the reason why I think there were so many killed. Could this have been stopped if it was legal for students to carry weapons on campus? We should allow college students to carry weapons on campus to stop shootings before the shooter is able to slaughter everyone in the classroom. As I have researched this topic, I have come to realize that the number of college shootings has been rising steadily throughout the years. In the year 2000, there was a total of five shootings at college campuses with a combined total of four deaths and three injuries.The number of college shootings has made a...

...Television Business Taking Over College Athletics College Athletics have always been a form of entertainment for many Americans and people around the world, but with the continued evolution of technology is has become a business for television companies. Major television networks like ESPN, Fox, CBS Sports, and Turner Broadcasting Systems have made college athletics a profit machine. Each company sign big contracts with the NCAA and each conference to gain the rights to broadcast the athletic events of the institutions. The conference then distribute that money evenly through its’ members. For the television networks, The “Big Five” Conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC) are the ones that will bring the most ratings and result in...

...College campuses have always been the sites where students can express their opinions without fear. There have been many debates about the merits of allowing free speech on campus. Some students and faculties support allowing free speech on campus, while others believe that colleges should restrict free speech to make the college’s environment safer for every student. Restricting the freedom of expression is a bad idea because freedom of speech is one of the fundamental rights in the Constitution, free speech also prepares college students for society, and free speech also improves college students’ mental health. Freedom of speech is one of the crucial rights of American citizens. The Constitution states that American citizens are guaranteed...

...Chapter 6 Electoral College Assignment Explain the electoral college and its purpose as presented in the videos posted in the "Lecture and Video" tab. Do you think the electoral college is effective? Why? Yes I do believe the Electoral College is effective. I think the Electoral College is one of the most elegant systems in our republic. The key word here is republic and not democracy. We are not a true democracy in the sense that we are ruled by the will of the majority, but rather we are a constitutional republic that employs democratic methods. We have systems that check and balance power between the 3 branches of government, between states and the federal government and balance between majority rule and the rights of the minority. The people who are against the Electoral College are popularists. Meaning one vote per voter and the majority wins. This I believe ignores the right of the minority. If you want to abolish the Electoral College because it misrepresents votes, than why not abolish 2 senators for each state? Wyoming has as many senators as California has. The Senate has tremendous power in the legislature as the upper house. It can start legislation or it is the final deliberating body before a piece of legislation goes to the president’s desk. But it does not equally represent all the people, it represents the states. Also, even the congress has votes that require more than 50% to pass laws. Why? If a majority agrees, majority should win...
