Not only have they halted in educating its students, but it has put them in positions were they are forced into studies they are not even sure they have a desire in. Financing, in particular has taking its positions amongst a high percentage of students, pushing them toward Wall Street jobs, in which they depend on. Acting as a substitute for school, Wall Street lures students in by promising to give them the education that they did not receive in their universities.

    In Momaday’s “The Way to Rainy Mountain,” Momaday has the same structure described in Leslie Silko’s “Language and Literature from a Pueblo Indian Perspective.” Some of his story has roots from oral tradition, he takes a central subject and branches many ideas off it, like a web, and he writes informally as to show his true feelings to the reader.…

    Deresiewicz reveals a problem that “only the commercial purpose now survives as a recognized value” (26). Students are progressively choosing majors that are more practical for job hunting and paying off debt. There are less people who want major in core subjects like literature, mathematics, or a science. “A Princeton student literally made this argument to me: If the market is incentivizing me to go to Wall Street, he said, then who am I to argue?” (32). The Princeton student is sadly correct; the pressure for all college students to get a high paying job right after graduation is at an all time high. The increasing compete for jobs leaves students worrying about internships and job-focused extracurricular activities. Deresiewicz explains…

    The students at Ivy League universities are told that they fit into this criterion in order to coerce them into wanting to work at Wall Street. Ho regards the “smartness” of the students being swayed by the successfulness of Wall Street as mostly negative. She does not think that the Ivy Leaguers and Wall Street financiers are as smart as they are believed to be. The fact that “the best,” “the greatest,” and “the brightest” minds in the world can be manipulated and are influencing other students with material swag, massive inundation of recruiting propaganda, recruiting seminars and dinners, peer and alumni pressure, insecurity about status, and big pay is astounding to her. To manipulate someone at such a critical and developmental stage in their life is against what most stand for. College is supposed to be a time were students get a chance to explore the different subjects and careers available to them and decide how they want to make a difference in the world. For students to work hard and reach such high institutions of education, such as Harvard and Princeton, and then to have their ability to choose what they want to be stripped from them is saddening. Gladwell argues that when it comes to individual behavior “the convictions of your heart and the actual contents of your thoughts are less important, in the end, in guiding your actions than the immediate…

    Both Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were visionaries for the Civil rights Movement. One cannot argue that they were both passionate about equality for colored people. However, they both had different means of fighting for those rights. While Malcolm X went with a more aggressive approach, MLK wanted peace while gaining their rights. While they both have compelling arguments, I agree more with Malcolm X and his approach on this issue.…

    Institutions such as Princeton and Harvard often have an effect on a student’s individual interest when it comes to Wall Street. In “Biographies of Hegemony” by Karen Ho, she expresses how these type of institutions are always after the students, through a means of interviews, observation, social events, presentations, and even conferences. When in these type of “ivy leagues,” Ho writes how everywhere a student goes he will end up surrounded by someone marketing Wall Street and they know that it will not be hard recruit and convince students that it is the path that they want to go down. The reason that this happens at these institutions is because at Wall Street, they only look for a specific category of people, that look a certain way, usually…

    “It’s just extremely disappointing and aggravating to have paid all that money and have nothing to show for it other than debt.” proclaimed Michelle Polyakov, an English graduate from Drake University. Polyakov obviously feels that college is not worth the cost and that all someone has to show for the education is debt. College has been deemed, by some, that it is not worth the cost because of the financial loss, the future job security, and the need for “blue collar” jobs. Finances, job security, and the need for manual laborers are all major factors in the debate of college and its cost. The reason being is because not all people are meant to go to college, or their situation just isn’t ideal. College is a privilege, and not every job requires you to have a higher form of learning, but most do. By viewing the debt of a student after graduation, the job security of graduates, and the need for manual laborers, one can infer that college is not worth the cost.…

    The Gallop poll studies the link between student debt and long term challenges a college graduate faces. The poll shows that those with more student debt tend to have more difficulties in four out of five categories of well-being. The four categories of well-being include community, physical, purpose and financial. This topic is important to society today because it is now becoming harder to afford a full college education so students are turning to student loans which can be a burden for a lifetime. Student loans are great for those who are interested in pursuing their education with little to no money to afford school. On the competitive real world side of things, the career market is demanding that potential workers have some sort of degree, preferably a bachelors. Because of this new demand, people have the desire and the need to further their education in order to make a decent income in today’s economy.…

    The website of Young People Unite had published an article by Melissa Young on the 5th of May 2010. The opinion piece by the 17-year-old addresses the issue of whether or not the legal voting age should drop to 16 years of age. Melissa Young makes a claim that with the laws already placed upon 16-year-olds (e.g. legal age to getting their learner license) they should have the same right to vote and elect a government to rule their country. The author’s tone shifts from a dramatic one to one which is reasoned and controlled, the consequence of such a shift allows the reader to maintain a standard register with a mixture of informal and formal language. The effect of the word ‘NOW!’ in the title acts as an ellipsis for the urgent demand that the YPU initiative is seeking. Instantly there is a sense of emergency with the use of the exclamation mark. Their main audience is to the youth who can’t vote.…

    The Bank and colleges try furiously to lighten the load on student through Bank loans and Pell grants and these programs indeed make college more accessible to minorities but on the other hand they can offer detrimental results because there is always a constant pressure for you to pay back the loan and that can affect one’s academic performance. The last three years student debt has surpassed credit card and auto loans debt with an estimated 35 trillion dollars. College is like a politician, it shows off some good rhetoric promise but in the end shows no good results. Student’s labor for years…
