Persuasive Essay About Education

In society today, a college education is often seen as a “the next step” in a young adult’s life. Whether they actually know what they would like to earn a degree in, they feel the need to continue their education as almost everyone around them is pursuing post-secondary education of some sort. It is often argued that a college education is not necessary to get ahead because of the manufacture based workforce that is up and coming in America, however, there are many benefits to having a post-secondary education such as a higher rate of pay and more job opportunities.

What is one of the things that most people are accustomed to? Something that has been a part of their daily life. There are many things but what I am referring to is school. School has been around for hundreds of years. Whether it was to learn about religion or the mandatory classes we take now in the 21st century, many of us have been advised to go to school. It has changed a lot over the years and the system is still trying to improve how they could better educate their students in the future. Now, after going through many levels of school, people question themselves: why did I learn all of this? They question why they couldn’t learn more about taxes, buying a house or the important aspects when you get a car. School has become a

Over 7,500 animals are killed in zoos because they are deemed surplus, as stated by Liz Tyson an animals rights activist. This giraffe in particular sparked a huge controversy. HIs name was Marius, he was homed at the Copenhagen Zoo and was 2 years old when the staff killed him with a bolt gun. Marius was then dissected and fed to lions in front of ongoing zoo goers. What got people fuming is that he was a healthy, young giraffe. Therefore I believe the killing of Marius should not be justified.

The cost of college tuition is continually on the rise and has placed many burdens on high school students as well as their families. Some of the burdens that are placed are a result of parents putting pressure on their children to earn scholarships. Some of the burden is a result of students putting pressure on themselves to earn scholarships. Then, there is the burden of high college debt once the student graduates. Is this pressure really helping our students or is it hurting them? The bottom line is college tuition is skyrocketing out of control and something must be done before it destroys our families and our children.

The current college curriculum incorporates general education into the first two years of college for students. This instruction is intended to better prepare students holistically for the world beyond the university. However, in order to better prepare students US colleges and universities need to radically innovate their curriculum and instruction. In doing so they will be able to create a true holistic approach to learning beyond the classroom. While the universities require general education for their students there is a lot of confusion and decisions that first and second year college students’ need to be making. Among those choices students should be given the opportunity to learn and discuss the classes that will prepare them for the career of their choice in addition to becoming more civically involved. General education, should not be about checking boxes for graduation but preparing oneself for difficult and engaging conversations about the global engagement and problems.

There are a number of reasons that a school might fail, chief among them being an inequality of funds throughout a state’s public-school systems, a criminally underpaid staff, and a lack of retention among students over their summer break. To address these issues, I have created a three-pronged approach, one which I believe will fundamentally alter our public-school school systems for the better, and will ensure that our students receive a quality education that stays with them when they walk past the doors of our school and enter into the rest of the world. I call this reform “YES”, as it focuses on three essential areas of reform.

It does not matter how well made a product is, if nobody knows about it, then it will not sell. In order to make this well made product sell, one must advertise its usefulness and practicality to the correct audience. This targeted advertising is a very exact science, and if a company miscalculates on the smallest part of their market research and advertisement placement, then it will not succeed in selling the product or idea. One example of a well placed and persuasive ad can be found on the fifth page of the August 4th edition of Sports Illustrated.

“Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” This quote, said by Nelson Mandela, states that education can be used to change the world and be used for the betterment of society, yet education across America it is still not a top priority. Thousands of schools across America are severely underfunded and have trouble providing the resources to properly educate the next American generation, a generation that will eventually become the future of the country. Education spending, however, is at an all-time high compared to past decades, but funding still mostly comes from state and local resources. Having more funding for education from the government will help improve schools across the country because it will help students in long-term ways, help equalize education from state to state, and help student performance.

There are over 1,400 different colleges in the United States that you could choose to extend to achieve an higher education. You are not required to go to college, but it is highly recommended to get a higher paying job. So what do I hope to get out this college experience? Why is higher education important to me? Why did I want to get a University Education? These are a few things I thought about when I chose to go to get an higher education.

Everyone loves that extra couple minutes of sleep every once in a while. That extra five minutes can always make people's day a little bit easier to handle.Yet we are preventing student, our future, from relaxing and readying their minds to learn. This is why all schools should begin at 9:00 am because, a later start time improves student health, and starts improving student attendance, and test scores.

Higher education is the greatest tool that can benefit a society, granted that universities can bring a sense of personal accomplishment and general knowledge. It is the Federal government's job to reflect on other educational systems, for instance Germany's higher education, and create an intuition that profits the public good and establishes a structured strategy that ensures college students are economically viable. For example, the University of California exploded when the Board of Regents approved a “32 percent tuition increases for the 2010 academic year, a vote that would raise the UC tuition to over $10,000 a year” (Selingo). Higher education should not be a risky future investment; it should be designed to help the general public and now obtaining a four-year diploma has become an essential way a person displays their preparedness for high demanding jobs. In addition, diplomas have become less available to the public due to the economic downturn, defunding of the public education systems, and increasing tuition rates. It is time to create a strategy that assists the public education system and that serves the common well-being. Therefore, it is the federal government's duty to reflect on Germany's educational methods that favor the public good and promote a change in the broken institutions by allowing free online universities and community colleges to offer four-year degrees.

I look at my pale short legs thinking ‘I need to shave.’ I sigh realizing that summer isn’t close to being over and I have nothing to look forward to. I grab my phone and head towards the kitchen searching for something to eat. I see my mom preparing dinner “Hi mom”

On a global scale, poverty may consist of a lack in necessary resources including food, clean water, and shelter. These factors may not be as common for US citizens, because we are categorized/considered a first-world country, and with that comes a surplus of resources—more than second, or third-world countries. A balanced diet might be called into question but that is not to say there is a lack of food. This is not America’s issue. The issue that has continuously been addressed and discussed in numerous accounts and settings is the fact that those with a lower socioeconomic status are rarely able to dig themselves out of the deep hole that is struggle and debt. Families are increasingly finding themselves knee-deep in debt; many parents juggling at least two jobs, providing meals with food stamps, while also dealing with the subject matter of parenthood itself. There are numerous approaches to dissecting and solving this issue—the first being looking at exactly why these families are struggling. The most apparent answer aims towards education. Although it is still possible to obtain a stable, well-rounded job without going to college, in this day and age, it is highly unlikely. The value of education has changed. A high school diploma is simply not enough anymore—to get anywhere in this world, attaining some post-secondary degree is necessary. To possess a steady income and comfortable

Education is a crucial aspect of people's lives. In the United States and numerous other countries, we are reminded throughout our twelve years of mandatory schooling that we must do well so that we can get into a good college, achieve a degree, and then lead an accomplished and fulfilling career. Despite the fact that this idea is drilled into our heads from a very young age, our system of education does not provide each child with the same amount of support and encouragement. A vast number of black children are penalized for simply wearing their hair in its natural state. There have been numerous instances in which black children are threatened with detention, suspension, and even expulsion if they refused to change their hairstyle into

The United States is currently suffering from stagnation, a continuous cycle where people’s necessities are not met and resources are not productively allocated. Evidence to this stagnation is the growing education disparity and the widening socioeconomic gap. This recurring nature is due to people’s intrinsic motivation to legitimize and internalize the status quo. Without questioning the system, people have conformed to societal standards. But the reality is, society’s standards is not enough.
