Issue Topic:
Governments should offer a free university education to any student who has been admitted to a university but who cannot afford the tuition.
Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.
Education is the significant aspect in these days. Most people like to attain a high degree to achieve their own goals in their life. However, not all people have a chance to apply for universities because of the demand of the university’s tuition. Thus, the tuition can be an obstacle for students who do not have enough money to pay for the university’s expenses. Therefore, when the government offers free university education, it will give a great opportunity for students who desire to enroll in certain university.
There are several good reasons to have free university education. One of these reasons is that students will be able to learn more, and to gain more knowledge. Students who will study in universities will learn additional things from what they learned in high school. As, a result, the country will have more educated people who will use their knowledge to benefit and serve others. For example, a scientist can discover new things or new technology that will serve people, and a professor can teach another generation who will benefit from him/her knowledge.
In addition, students in the university will major in different fields, and by having variety of filed; students can employ in different departments in the country. So, the country can have more people who will be able to work in different fields in the country, again if the government offers a free university education. Thus, the country can benefit from the graduates by using their knowledge and experience. Not just that, also the country do not have to employ national people to work in their companies because they will have enough local people who will work in companies. By giving a free education for students they will be able to enhance the productivity, and increase the profits of the country.
It is a good idea to have free university education for students, but not for all students. The government should pay for university fee for students who want to study, and who have a good standing. Because some students want to enroll in universities, but they are not good enough in studying. As a result, the government will west their money on students who are not serious about their education. So, by limiting the number of students according to their willingness to study, they can save more money for other useful purposes.
In conclusion, people should have a chance in their life to accomplish their dreams, and they can do that by educating themselves. Not all people have the opportunity to apply in universities. Thus, the government can help students because both students and the country will benefit from this sport by the government.
Argument Topic:
The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Parkville Daily newspaper.
"Throughout the country last year, as more and more children below the age of nine participated in youth-league sports, over 40,000 of these young players suffered injuries. When interviewed for a recent study, youth-league soccer players in several major cities also reported psychological pressure exerted by coaches and parents to win games. Furthermore, education experts say that long practice sessions for these sports take away time that could be used for academic activities. Since the disadvantages outweigh any advantages, we in Parkville should discontinue organized athletic competition for children under nine."
Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
The argument focus on the children who are below the age of nine, who were injured because they participated in youth-league sports. The following argument is unwarranted for numerous reasons. First of all the argument mentioned that “last year” children who were below nine suffered injuries because they participate in youth-league, but argument did not mention what kind of youth league sport that was causing injures. Thus, it will be better if the article mentioned what kind of sport that can cause an injure, and mention how it can case such injuries. In addition, the case that the argument is taking about happened last year in Parkville, so is not necessarily to happen in the following year because many things can change. If the argument mention any recent fact about this case it will be better.
Also, the argument talked about other major cities which indicated that youth-league soccer players faced psychological pressure by their coaches and parents. We will assume that injuries in these cities are not related to the injuries that the children suffered from in Parkville. The reason behind that is psychological effect is different from other effects like physical effect. So, the argument should mention about the kind of effect that Parkville children suffered from, then compared with other cities if they have the same issue.
Also, when the argument compared between Parkville, and other cities they did not mention about the age group of children. Thus, to strength the argument, the argument should talk about the same age group of children in Parkville and other cities. Furthermore, the argument only talked about the disadvantages of youth-league sports, and it did not show any advantages of the sports. Thus, the argument should mention both aspect to know if the youth-league sports are good for children or not.
Because the argument makes several unwarranted assumptions it fails to make convincing that the youth-league sports is harmful for children in Parkville, and they have to stop these kind of sports.
