College provides us with the knowledge and credibility that employers seek in this demanding world today. However a huge debate has to be brought to attention if going to college and receiving a bachelor’s degree should be a requirement to even get your foot in the door or be considered for a job. An interesting point of view on the bachelor’s degree being a job requirement is in the essay “Should The Obama Generation Drop Out?” by Charles Murray. Murray is a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, has written on social issues and published a book in 2008 regarding real education. I think Murray’s point of views will change a lot of people and the way they see education as a primary resource to qualify to get a good job.

Navarro first explains the history of third parties and their impacts on American politics to establish what third parties are and what they have been and done in the past. He uses the history of the third parties to support his claim of the tyranny committed by the two-party system of the United States. The author explains the two-party system has formed a so called dictatorship in the United States and explains how the only remedy for this and to provide a true democracy in the U.S is for other types of political parties to interject themselves into the American Political system, namely third parties. Navarro utilizes a big portion of the book explaining La Raza Unida’s history and influences as a third party beginning from the 1960’s in Texas from where it grew out from the Chicano movement occurring during the time period.
