Natalie Miller J. Jewell English Comp 1010 20 September 2010 “College Inc.” Summary/Evaluation In the Frontline episode “College, Inc.”, viewers get an inside look at for-profit colleges, generally online colleges, and what the schools really have to offer the growing number of people trying to go back to school. This program takes a look at the different schools around the country and goes in depth and with interviews with people directly involved with the for-profit schools from past students and employees to administrators. “College, Inc” was very informative on the for-profit schools but after viewing the entire program I believe that it is mostly one-sided. “College, Inc” starts with a beautiful view of a beach and a business man on his cell phone talking business. The narrator begins to tell you about Michael Clifford’s background and how he came into to the booming industry of for-profit colleges and continues into telling viewers about all that he has accomplished and what he has planned for the schools’ future.

June Johnson, the author of Global Issues, Local Arguments, explores the relationship between free trade and sweatshops, corporate responsibility and consumerism in the chapter “Trading Goods and Jobs.” Free trade, the agreement between governments to exchange goods and services without certain fees for corporations, creates many challenges for corporations, governments, workers and consumers (Johnson). The voices of American student Tiffany Anderson and Chinese workers in Apple factories, as well as the case study on the United States, the global hot spot, also illustrate the problems of consumerism, sweatshops, and financial crisis (Johnson). Some individuals, such as Economist Richard Wolff, the creator of the video “How Class Works,” and Tyler Perry, the narrator of the documentary Spent: Looking for Change, also explore the topics addressed in the chapter. Wolff and Perry not only discuss the relationship between American consumerism and current financial crisis, but also hint the relationship between consumerism and global trade. In “How Class Works,” Wolff points out that class segregation, income inequality, and the trends of industrialization and outsourcing terminate the income growth for middle class Americans and put them in credit crisis (Wolff).
Gerardine Elie English 098/099, Section 166 Essay 1 Final Draft How do you feel about Obama proposing that students should have the opportunity to attend community college for free for two years? I feel that this is a very controversial topic and it can go either way.On January 20th, 2015, during his State of the Union, President Obama proposed making community college tuition free for two years. Or as he put it in the speech, “to lower the cost of community college — to zero.” This proposal is a great approach to boost college graduation rates and it allows students to educate themselves and not have to worry about tuition. But Obama’s proposal has some positives and negatives to it. With Obama’s proposal students will learn to be responsible and have goals and students will become more educated.

"I'm a split personality on it (lowering the drinking age). I'm more in the camp that thinks we need a national debate on this. But there are a whole range of issues worth noting.

HFCS became an attractive substitute and is preferred over cane sugar by the vast majority of American food and beverage manufacturers. Soft drink makers such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi use sugar in other nations but switched to HFCS in the U.S. in 1984. Large corporations, such as Archer Daniels Midland, lobby for the continuation of government corn subsidies. Nothing is ever absolute, and everything has chance to be good or bad. HFCS could help soda companies rich so the employees may have better salary, or HFCS could make us sick, cause physical disorders if we have too much of it.
Critical Reading How Bingeing Became the New College Sport I believe that this article will be based on how binge drinking became so popular in colleges and universities across the country. The topic of this essay is how bingeing became the new college sport and why it would stop if we lowered the drinking age. The author claims that tighter enforcement of the minimum drinking age of 21 is not the solution, but the problem. The author’s point of view is that he thinks if the drinking age was lowered, over time it would cut down on binge drinking at colleges and universities. Let students drink in public legally, that way they won’t have to pregame in privacy and over do it.
