74% would recommend a liberal arts education to a young person they know today, so they will be prepared for success in today’s global economy. In fact, 91% of employers want students who have experience in resolving and working with others, with different opinions, in college. The unemployment rate for Humanities and Arts majors was 9%, while the unemployment rate for Law and Public Policy was 9.2% in 2013. Regardless, the after effects of the recession make it difficult to find employment in any department and does not put liberal arts graduates at a
Summary of why evolution should be taught in public schools In her essay “Why evolution should be taught in public schools”, Laura H. Kahn argues imperative concern on why evolution should be taught in public school. She argues that our children, our future scientist and world’s leading healthcare frontiers, needs to receive a good science education to further enhance human understanding. Without scientific based education and understanding of evolution, it would be infeasible to understand and research and treat for various biological and medical diseases, antibiotic resistant bacteria, emerging viruses and deadly microbes. Kahn also explained the long history of human kind on battle of disbeliefs between evolution theory (belief of evolving biologically) and creationism (spontaneous generation from deity), which began in nineteenth century between scientists, who were known as the leading scientist at the time. Felix-Archimede Pouchet, believed in spontaneous generation and published 700 page book which claimed to prove that the life could originate from inanimate matter, thus life from deity.
Economist believes that this system will do nothing to control cost but the budget office believes the bill will reduce the cost over a ten-year period. The cost concerns affected Americans because it helped Republicans win control over the House of Representatives in the mid-term elections and they also threatened to remove government funding. This reform also affected Doctors in the United States.

I believe that Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Rush sparked the ideas for the future, with Horace Mann as the engineer who created the mold of the two ideas into a whole common idea. Structure and discipline for the child in school will bring a well-rounded American. Public education opened up more opportunity for women to be independent , it also paved the way for poor whites and blacks to better educated well rounded citizens in which I believed paved the way for everyone to be considered the same for the
The combined themes of national defense and international economic competition proved remarkably durable over time as reasons to expand the federal role in education. In 1958, Congress hurriedly approved the “emergency” National Defense Education Act (NDEA), which sent an unprecedented infusion of federal funds into the public schools. According to President Eisenhower, the United States needed to outdo its foe, the Soviet Union, “on the Communists’ own terms—outmatching them in military power, general technological advance, and specialized education and research.” 18 The NDEA, therefore, targeted these areas, shoring up the nation’s educational and research facilities, fostering technical development, and trying to improve students’ academic achievement levels. In particular, federal resources under the NDEA funded programs in science, mathematics, engineering, and foreign languages. (It is worth noting that legislation for such a program had been in process even before Sputnik; the satellite simply bolstered political support for existing science- and language-related initiatives and prompted Congress to act.)
February 13th, 2013 Samantha Hauca Overgrowth or Undergrowth? Recently, it has become widely accepted that our earth is becoming over populated. Countries have been trying to keep their birth rates down with their one-child policy. In the essay, “Health Canada Inadvertently Discloses Facts Planned Parenthood Would Like to Suppress”, Ted Byfield tries to persuade the audience that the world is actually in a serious population decline rather than population explosion, like the government is trying to convince us. Regrettably, Byfield doesn’t give a sturdy case, and with misled facts and statistics, it’s hard to be influenced.
If parents are paying the exceeded taxes. There is a sufficient amount of money for public schooling especially with a big population in the city. By threatening the public educational system with budget cuts, this is just a way to deteriorate the quality of learning. Getting rid of teachers is not a intelligent way of saving money. The Board of Education wants the best for students by closing schools, a lot can’t be accomplished by establishing closures across the country.
The fact that the new laws were passing allowing taxes to occur was frightening to Dickenson. He believes that they should do whatever it takes for America to pay the taxes. He thinks it is wrong that they are getting away with not paying. He believes sitting back and not doing anything is counter productive to the cause. Dickenson and Franklin are on opposite sides.
