    Education is the key to a better quality life in America. This is particularly important for our country's women because, though women have dominated our workforce, they are often set back by poor life decisions, personal crisis, or just do not have the resources available to succeed. The improvement of education will be a joint effort for everyone involved, including the individual, community, and government leadership.

    On the surface, conservatism and Christian democratic thought are quite similar with regard to social welfare, but there is one key difference.  Following the Catholic teachings, Christian Democrats believe that the responsibility of taking care of the poor and needy lies with the community, not the government.  Both groups feel that lawfulness and stability are highly important, but they have very different approaches to achieve these goals.

    This article by Harvard University outlines the differences, issues, and adversities that people in "low-income" socioeconomic groups face when pursuing an education in urban schools, compared to suburban schools, and how quality education is the key to bridging the educational gap. Further, the authors of this article outline the educational gap by providing statistics and educated synopses of the plight that many minorities face when pursuing their education, in order to support their position.

    The key distinction to remember is that a psychiatric service animal is actually trained to perform certain tasks that are directly related to an individual's psychiatric disability. The dog's primary role is not to provide emotional support. It is to assist the owner with the accomplishment of vital tasks they otherwise would not be able to perform independently.

    More and more groups are becoming opposed to birth control, which is directly related to Catholic teachings. Catholics teachings do not accept birth control, but they do not try to hide access to them. This seems strange, but is actually key to family planning in Culture Wars and some Christian traditions.

    I think this is a great topic. Since, we are all in college and know first hand the expenses of college. This article argues to push for free college. He talks about a college in Georgia where they have scholarships for free college. I think this is rather interesting!

    This is an interesting thought however, I feel that too easily the system would get bogged down. Also, the money to pay for this free college would have to come from tax-payers. In reality I don't see how it would work. I know in Germany college is free IF a student has a certain score on a standardized test, so that the government sees the student as a worthwhile investment. It sounds harsh, but it works. I think in America too many things would cause that rule to be derailed. Also, Germany has as much smaller and homogeneous population, so that works better.

    I am a person who is all for free education..in theory. Like Amanda, I do not believe it would be beneficial to provide the United States with free education because we as the tax papers would suffer. However, I do wish the government would make it so that we are not in such crippling debt once our education is over.
  • lion_aj on 29 Jan 18
     
    As much as I would love to see free education, it would not be free because it would come down to the average tax payer to pay for it. I do however wish to see lower interest rates.
  • jaz2153385 on 30 Jan 18
     
    I wish education could be 100% free. Everyone is always pushing us younger people to pursue a college degree without knowing that college isn't just a sign up and go kind of thing. You have to pay thousands of dollars either out of pocket or by federal funding.

    While our education system is definitely flawed, many immigrants come to our country to pursue an education because of the quality of education available in the U.S. The big problem with this, however, is that "quality education" is generally expensive, or only available to the wealthy. With this in mind, how do our schools really measure up when comparing an urban, underfunded school with less-than-desirable educational quality to the "standard," as set by our society?
  • karlag1308 on 08 Sep 20
     
    I agree with this article in regards to what the issues are and how to address them. There isn't one magic solution, but I feel like better legislation and more resources going towards education can be a good starting point.
  • tal2145321 on 08 Sep 20
     
    I agree with many of the points and believe with the proper changes, and funding we can build a better education system. but also agree with dan that many come to america because we do have a great education system but most of it costs money.

    A lack of funds is defiantly a massive problem. If there's going to be a chance to fix these problems anytime soon, that should be a major one.

    It is everyones right to have the opportunity to receive a good education. Education and knowledge are said to be the best quality. With this said it takes a lot of self motivation, but some kids just don't have access to education.

    An article by Greg Mullenholz on the fact that education is a social justice issue within our society. He calls education "a dividing line between success and failure" and states that access to high quality teachers and education is a key component to helping students who are underprivileged to receive the future they deserve.
  • dan2205427 on 03 Sep 17
     
    This is an interesting perspective. I do believe education in America needs to be improved and the lack of action will cause America to become irrelevant in our modern era. I believe we need to reform our education system that is already in place and have families make it a higher priority rather than have the federal government mandate a solution.

    Education may be one of the biggest social justice issues because it is one of the main factors that determine a productive future instead of incarceration. The article states that "education was the dividing line between success and failure." There is a need for high-quality teachers along with equal opportunity for a good education among all different income levels.

    An article discussing the importance of education in society. The main idea is that under performing schools demand a certain skill set and access to funding in order to provide a path to success for their student base, and the unfortunate truth that this practice is not existent. School is the corner stone for the success of children and current standards and practices have created inequality across the nation
  • edv2140870 on 01 Feb 21
     
    Education being a social justice issue is nothing out of the norm. Education is not just about teaching common core programs but, it is also a place to teach kids and adults how to protect the dignity of humanity. Education is a huge dividing line between being successful and unsuccessful.
