After watching Where To Invade Next, there are several topics regarding politics, education, and civility in the United States that I will be exploring in hopes to further a topic into a research paper. A summary of the movie can be found in my last blog post, blog post #9.
Topic: Sexual Education in the United States Research Question: Should the U.S. update their sexual education classes in their secondary schools? Argument: In the United States, sexual education has an emphasis of abstinence. In countries such as France, it is understood that abstinence cannot be a trusted safe practice and contraception should make student's less uncomfortable. In the U.S., sexual education is very old school and has religious undertones of premarital sex is unexpected because of it being deemed a sin. In the modern day, more teenagers are having sex at a younger age and are less comfortable with telling their parents or doctors about their sexual activity because of its negative baggage. In France, sex is not seen as a forbidden practice for younger people and have less teen pregnancies than the U.S. If the U.S. followed in France's sexual education, more students would be more comfortable with contraception and information from parents or doctors. Topic: No undergraduate debt Research Question: Should the United States cover undergraduate school? Argument: The idea of all undergraduates going to college for free is unrealistic and devastating for the United States. If the students do not pay for their tuition, the universities would have to depend on the government. Our government in the United States is already limited in spending and in debt. The country is large and populous which results in a large amount of colleges and universities which would not acquire adequate spending. The institutions would suffer especially if more students attend because of the absence of cost. The countries that have accomplished no undergraduate debt like Slovenia and Scotland have a dirty secret. They panhandle and accept immense charities from surrounding countries. If every country nearby Slovenia and Scotland followed in their footsteps they would have to get rid of their policy because colleges and universities would go bankrupt. Also, the idea of free college stems from less fortunate students who cannot afford the tuition costs. Although, like in other countries, colleges and universities that usually attain these students could not afford to give them the proper education because of the lack of money the government could give. Free college would be a burden to the United States and citizens would not benefit. Topic: Women in Leadership Research Topic: Would women in leadership positions benefit the United States. Argument: The United States has never had a woman president which has never allowed women to have a representative of their biological understanding. I believe the United States would benefit from a woman as president because topics such as abortion and prenatal care could be assessed by a woman who truly understands the meaning. Men I do not believe can truly fathom the idea of being a woman which also strings along pregnancy and contraception such as birth control. It would not matter if the woman was pro-life or pro-choice, but female citizens may feel more comfortable in her opinion and believe they have a voice. A woman in power would create a positive difference for the United States and a greater sense of equality.
