Being in the military is not a very easy career. There are many things that we do in the military that many people will never understand, but they need to be done in order to protect the many freedoms that we enjoy in this country. Because of this, it is very difficult to earn an education in the military, but with a little commitment and a lot of encouragement, it can be done. “President Obama has charged every US citizen and military service member with the responsibility to create that better nation, through individual education.” (Miller, 2009). It can be very hard sometimes to take classes because of the military.
Coaches have become the leading moral instructors in America today. Most parents don’t think of them as the big ex-jocks with whistles around their necks. In fact, now the talk of coaches is infused with moral meaning. But coaches are different. “Your rarely see a teacher tell a kid to tuck in his shirt and have some pride in his appearance.” The best coaches still live by this code and make no apologies for demanding the kids to live up to it.
Athletes love/hate relationship Many college athletes have a love/hate relationship with their sports. The main reason why athletes have a love/hate relationship is because of the coaches. The coaches are really hard on them and push them to the max, but they love and respect their coaches because they make them better people in the long run. During a particular season, an athlete will spend more time with their coach than with their parents or their friends; which leads to the second reason for the love/hate relationship: long and tedious practices. The practices take up much of their time and do not allow them to have a social life, but in the end they make them better athletes.
The Nuer have found difficulty academically, in the work force, and in health care among other issues. Coming to America, the Nuer are already familiar with the importance of education. Men, women, and children alike, want to succeed academically because they know it will give them better opportunities for well paying jobs and if they ever go back to Sudan, there diploma or degree will be well respected and earn them prestige. Unfortunately, it is not as easy for the Nuer to be placed in school as it is for the typical American. The Nuer are inexperienced in the English language with most women and children never having formal English training and only some of the men having some experience
I have also worked in the production industry and in skilled trades my whole life. The blue collar class gets a lot of ridicule and this is why they are the back bone of America without them we never could have built the Hoover damn or the intercontinental railroad for these reson and many more I think it is far more important to the infrastructure of America then we think and should be receiving praise and admiration not judgment. When I think of the term blue collar I don’t think of a dirty, lazy and uneducated person I think of intelligent and quick thinking workers. Sometimes our cultural thinks that in order to make it big you have to go to school or know someone who knows someone Everyone should do some time in a blue collar job to get a feel for how small choices can have big effects on the little guy. The skills that you can learn there are irreplaceable and it can make even the smartest person rescet the kind of work that gets
When foreigners immigrate to the USA, it’s usually solely to make a better life for their family. Lastly, many complain that immigrants come over to the USA and take “our” jobs, but that is not true at all. Immigrants almost all the time take jobs that Americans don not want. Colonists immigrated to the United States voluntarily; they helped mold this country to be what it is today. Colonists put laws and rules into play to create the law and political system we have today.
America just doesn’t care about schooling like China does. With the many differences between China and America, America does end up coming out on top when it comes to self-esteem and our first pick in colleges. If America actually put time into studying
Mohanad R. Mohsen WG4a Alisha 8/14/ 2013 E1D1 Cash for good grades Motivation is the power that pushing us to do things we have to do, things that we know very well they required to achieve our goals. And only students who stay motivated about their study make success. But the secret here is find the good reasons behind this motivation, and the paying for the students for good grades seem like sending the wrong messages to make them doing well for the wrong reasons and this causes future negative effects. Responsibility doesn’t always come with rewards like people don’t get money for keep their houses clean or for eating healthy meals. If we paid for students when they get good grads may be this habit will stick with them for life.
Underdogs can only be created if there is a sense of competition. In films the underdog is often portrayed as a “loser” or weak, usually the people that can’t handle this criticism, quit. But the underdog overcomes despite not fitting in or being the best competitor. This in fact makes them very strong. In the movie Rudy, Rudy wants nothing more then a chance to be in the football game to make his parents proud.
Education: How the Nation Stays Afloat and the Students Sink American culture plays a critical role in how our educational systems were designed. American culture has created the myth that is, without a formal education, success, creativity and individuality are impossible to achieve. However, schools are not assisting the students in their pursuit of success and individuality. The educational system was produce with another mission in mind; suppress the student’s intelligence and creativity, increase funds with Corporate America by manipulating the handicap schools and assign each student a social role and aid them in developing that role only. Schools are not as helpful as we may have perceived, they discreetly create docile citizens by giving the illusion that the system is developing each student.
