Op-ed topic



There are different college education systems in different regions of the world. For one of my op-eds, I am going to discuss about how the U.S. college education does not have to be for four years.

    Love this idea. It's a topic that needs to be addressed more, especially with so many young adults feeling that four-year schools are the "best" or maybe even the only route. Looking forward to seeing this!

      Thank you for your comment, Elaina! I got bachelor's because I wanted to study and have a decent job, which needed a lot of encouragement and belief in education. I also have friends who do not believe in college education, and that is why I wanted to discuss how we can make our college education more valuable and accessible for more students! It's posted, FYI!

The Media with Representations or Expectations?

The first show I have thought of, regarding representations of a real woman’s life, was the show called, Being Mary Jane . This show is about a woman, Mary Jane Paul, who successfully became a TV reporter. I wouldn’t say this show describes lives of all women, but it describes how women have hard time having a balance with work and life very well. Mary Jane struggles with going through her relationships, marriage, and taking care of her own family while she tries to be successful as a reporter on a famous TV program. I feel this show tells us that women “have to strive” to be successful and usually alone if not lucky. There are successful working women who have supportive families including their husbands, but I also feel that having college degree makes women want to work for a better job. When women hope to work for better jobs, they tend to face the fact that they have to think about marriage and pregnancy. When they decide to be a mother, they tend to end up quitting their jobs...

From Nobody to Somebody

One of my favorite shows on Netflix is called, Locked Up. I know it sounds weird to say that I like that show, and I don’t even know why I like the show. A reporter/speaker goes into different prisons which are famous for being harsh. The prisoners have different background, crimes that they committed, and races. Still, it is a show on Netflix, and we cannot say one thing from an entertaining document, but I believe watching the show makes me think about what the causes are and how they ended up being locked up while some of them have children and families whom they love. Not only from the reading but also with my observation of many incidents involving young black males and police officers, I always think about education and parenting. Before talking about how we can change the society by putting ideas on system and justice, I believe we should focus on the fundamental cause of these deaths and violence. Education is valuable, which some people do not believe. Having this opp...

Prompt 2: Public Intellectuals

Michelle Obama As many of us already know, she is a woman of color and wife of the first African American president of the U.S. I believe that she is influential not because of her profile, but her passion, love and belief towards others are what make her significant to our society today. People who have different political beliefs may not see her how I see her. She shows humanity and entertains us on different shows while she gives us passionate speech about education and children. She is also active and tries to educate us with health. She is not just a memorable first lady, but she has power to motivate us and be aware of different issues around the world.  Prince Ea He is less known than other famous public intellectuals, but his ideas and messages are quite strong and I want more people to know about him. He is a poet, filmmaker and speaker. His profile is found here . I feel that his messages through his poem and posts on social media are awake...
