The role of the American government is to protect and convenience its people. Forcing citizens to devote an entire year towards community service would not help achieve these goals. A huge portion of Americans spend the years between their 18th and 22nd birthdays in college. Students should be allowed to spend these years focusing on their education rather than worrying about fitting in a year of volunteer work. If the government were to impose a community service requirement during these years, many young Americans would struggle to do well in school and work towards their dreams.
The largest flaw in this school system is entitled “reward.” This reward that students receive makes them study not for expanding their minds, but for some colorful sash that they will on graduation and a pointless title to put on your application. Just ask Margaret Talbot. She can tell you all about the teenager’s mindset in high school.
The last time there was a draft, typically, congress persons' sons nearly always found a deferment, an "essential" job status, Reserve Officers Training Corp (ROTC) commissions (that did not involve going into a war zone), or some other way to not have to serve in an actual war. That draft harvested hundreds of thousands of poor and minority group members, not the sons of those in power. Those congress persons were still able to vote to send boys off to war ("with a clear conscience?") without fear for their own sons' safety. I should know .
Madison Rojas Professor Ali ENC-1101, 065 April, 11 2013 Conscription, the draft as it is known, is the process in which countries bring citizens into military service for a mandatory amount of time. Several countries actively employ conscription, while others have a polished it completely. Bringing the draft would be a great idea especially if our country does not have enough troops. The more troops we have the stronger we become. Yes the draft is a scary word to hear, but it is a way of protecting our country and loved ones.
It is evident the the role of government is becoming more important because society is depending on the government to solve the lasting problems of the economy, in politics, and social reforms. Franklin D. Roosevelt was confident that the New Deal program would fix these issues but many Americans including Herbert Hoover and Huey Long questioned the role of government and offered their own conjecture about the New Deal. The New Deal is aimed to stimulate the industrial recovery, to assist the victims of the Depression, to raise the quality of life standards and further to prevent future
Garrison Commander Bldg. 681 U.S. Military Academy West Point, NY 10996 Dear Colonel Tarsa, The U.S. hasn’t used the draft since, 1973, since we changed to an all-volunteer military. Even though registration is still required for the draft, I think it should be kept to make sure we never lack enough power to protect our country. Although there will hopefully never be a time to constitute the use of the draft, it is a precaution that keeps us as a country safer. I realize the draft is back-up to the U.S. Armed Forces to provide manpower and to fill unoccupied volunteer slots.
The first thing that these student athletes should be worrying about is there academics and with all the extra money they would get for playing would break their concentration and create more nationally know problems in the college sports world. Most of these players have the big goal of playing professional sport. This is still a pipe dream to those who aren’t stars, with a few exceptions. So therefore these student athletes should focus on their academics before they worry about getting paid to play. They don’t need the pay because they are there on scholarship or other types of pay that is keeping them in the school.
Our country needs to offer encouragement and exhibit faith rather than stripping the Americans of confidence. Thankfully, we are a rallying nation! The message should be clear: Not only is our dream viable, but it is attainable. This shift must begin immediately. According to the GOP, “The greatest asset of the American economy is the hard-working American….
If you lower tuition rates then that will make college more accessible for students who find it hard to pay for college. Students should not be turned away from an education simply because of the fact that they can’t afford it. There are kids out there with the talent, mindset, and knowledge to do goo but they can’t because of financial disabilities. The question arises: “How will you lower tuition?” Will the question is quite simple, the government will fund it. It will be a good investment for the government because we are breeding future, lawyers, doctors, firefighters, etc., people that are benefiting society.
Too much emphasis in the society Are Americans working hard or hardly working in this society today? Americans today put too much effort in today’s society by over working themselves. The logical reasons that this may be are because people willingly do anything to earn the extra income, the liability to live in this economy, and proving hard work pays off. First let’s start off with the society. It puts too much emphasis on over working ourselves because people need to do anything to increase their paychecks by even the slightest bit.
