People are Equal Trying to satisfaction people sometimes impossible. This is what I would like to start writing my essay. People have the same things in their body for example, head hands legs and bloods too. They are the same but the most different thing is the health. I discussed how can are they the same just for thinking deeply and find every things that make people are not equal in some people minds. In some countries for an example, Syria, Egypt and Yemen having problems from their citizens before the war until this time. The most important think that made them upset is the equal between them and other countries who are around them. They want to live their lives as everyone else but, they couldn’t because the president thought that he
In the United States, people are free to continue their educations anytime whether the student young or not. Also, there are no maximum limit of age to stop them and that can make them equal and living in comfortable lives. Otherwise, In Japan they have limit of age to continue studying and that might hurt some Japanese people if they can not. Also, in Japan education, they have many groups of people that make them as levels of intelligent and for sure people are not the same of thinking but, they are the same of having minds. Kyoko Mori is the author of (School) she left her country to continue her education in English in the United States. She faced many things that made her surprised when she compared and contrasted the education between Japan and the United States. Kyoko Mori says in her article (School) “Many Americans in their thirties and forties go back to college to get trained for a different line of work or to pursue a lifelong interest they couldn’t afford to study earlier” (254). Also, she says “Being able to go back to school is a particularly American opportunity My Japanese friends will never be able to do the same” (254). Kyoko felt surprised and happy when she faced that chance and achieve her goal because she knew that Japanese people are missing this chance. Otherwise, American people have this chance in anytime which made them have the greatest thing in education. If American people are looking deeply and focused the different between them and another country in education they will know they are lucky because some countries are missing this chance. Moreover, Education can make people watch the world different and that can make their minds are

  • Meeting Criticism In Kyoko Baldwin's A Talk To Teachers

    1532 Words  | 4 Pages

    Mori’s purpose for writing this essay is so that citizens of America realize that learning and receiving an education is a gift that not everyone is granted. Mori wants to show this point in order to make Americans realize that they take advantage as well as think nothing of such a serious matter. She develops her thesis by using her knowledge and experience from both Japanese and American schooling to form the compare and contrast format as well as breaking up her essay into eight sections. In conveying her perspective, Mori incorporates an appeal to ethos in order to enhance the validity of her essay. “Many Americans in their thirties and forties go back to college to get trained for a different line of work or to pursue a lifelong interest they couldn’t afford to study earlier. Until they are in need of such second chances, most Americans take college for granted because they are always there--almost any adult can get into some college at any age.” This shows how Americans do not truly understand how crucial and lucky the opportunity of education is when bestowed upon us. With that, Mori elaborates more on the ‘ie’ system of education in Japan through reference to her cousin, Kazumi’s, circumstance of being jeopardized of succeeding in school due to an earthquake. “Even though the letter said that we didn’t necessarily have to have a nice kimono if our family suffered such a great damage that we had no money, the tone was very condescending--and it was obvious that they were really saying that we should rent one no matter what the cost.” From this reference, it was visible that Kazuma and her family were going through an incredibly tough time recovering from the traumatizing experience; furthermore, the teachers didn’t show much if any sympathy for her when they told her that she must have a kimono dress for the annual certificate ceremony knowing she had

  • Analysis Of Against School By John Taylor Gatto

    774 Words  | 2 Pages

    Many Americans do not question the credibility of the education system within the country because they believe it forms good citizens and creates a stepping-stone to success. John Taylor Gatto is an American teacher who has experience in the classroom for thirty years and has now devoted his life to critiquing American schools exploiting his own experiences. In his essay “Against School”, he argues that the 12-year system of school may not be necessary, due to its curriculum, and that it may be a tactic of manipulation from the government to promote obedience. I agree with his argument because there are many paths to individual success outside of public education, such as homeschooling or vocational school.

    Another incidence in the book made me think of this idea. Julio, Yadira’s friend, did not want to finish high school and go for higher education even though he had the opportunity and papers (Thorpe, 99). That made me think why didn’t he have motivation to go and study more, was it family reasons or was he just not motivated enough. While Julio had no intention of going for higher studies Elissa’s boyfriend, Juan, and Clara’s older brother had motivation to go for higher education; both of the guys were enrolled in college (Thorpe, 97). All of these circumstances with these people made me think did the age they came to United States have any effect on their

  • The American and Finnish Education Systems

    3133 Words  | 7 Pages

    Education is one of the cornerstones and pillars to the establishment and preservation of democracy. In history, countless scores of philosophers and political thinkers believed that only an educated citizenry can take on the quintessential task of upholding democracy. Thomas Jefferson, the primary writer of the Declaration of Independence, stated that “an informed citizenry is the only true repository of the public will.” A renowned defender of public education, Jefferson proposed plans for an education system that included grammar schools in his presidency. As a result of these relentless policies for education, the United States expanded on the concept of public instruction through the establishment and upkeep of a practical education system. The United States continued this tradition and established a reputation as one of the best education in the world. Currently, this is no longer valid as other countries such as Finland, China, and South Korea are competing for the dominant position through rigorous reforms that aim to boost student performances (“Best Education”). Meanwhile, the American system is inefficient, inhibited by political obstacles and gridlock while Finland, the top ranked country in terms of schooling, is continuing to improve. According to the PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) examinations that tested pupils across a variety of subjects such as reading, mathematics, and science of 2009, Finland’s students were ranked among the top (“PISA 2009”). The American students were ranked below average for industrialized countries in the world, revealing the reality of the educational crisis in the country. Finland’s education system, compared to the Americans, offers major differences that greatly ...

    Kyoko Mori says in her essay “School” that, “school and “the real world” both have their absurd moments, but school is where people go when they’re not satisfied with their “real world” lives and want a change.” By this Mori easily means that people go to school to get an education, to get a job so they can have a great future. These laws aren’t put in place for kids to only go waste there day so they won’t be off in the streets, they are put here so you will have a generation of young people who will have thinking and social skills, kids that will learn and want to be something in life. Now, of course, you will have kids that don’t want to be there, but by these laws you are pushing them to be something better, some young people might think that they simply can’t be any better, think they are unintelligent, but by these laws you are pushing them to be what they think they cannot be.

  • Essay On Social Justice

    1081 Words  | 3 Pages

    In a truly just society, justice would lead to a heightening of the vulnerable patients making their health perhaps the only position of their life that is no longer vulnerable. Until social justice is applied to our geopolitical stage, gender and ethnicity differences will continue to limit work opportunities and fair pay. But, if we were to get the health component right, their health would not be a compounding factor in their vulnerability. Instead, good health can help to establish one’s capabilities to explore opportunities and better their lives. Whether it is Nussbaum’s (2000) exhaustive list of 10 essential capabilities or liberalism’s primary good (Almgren, 2013, p. 35), good health and well-being enables a person to fulfill their

  • International Students Shouldn 't Be Pay More Money For The Tuition

    1091 Words  | 3 Pages

    To approach this problem, we should, first and foremost, reiterate why people put such an emphasis on good education. Firstly, education improves people’s learning ability that makes them know more about the world. Most things taught in schools are the basic skills or means to further understanding of our society. Only be learning can humans have an opportunity to study more and know more about the society. Secondly, social experience tells us opportunities are often given to someone who has received good education. Employers tend to believe that people have higher education are more intelligent and that they can manage to do their job better and adapt to the working environment more quickly. That explains why educated people, more often than not, can land a very good job. Thirdly, educated people usually act more polite and civilized. People who understand the importance of learning know that they are good enough so they have patience and eagerness to learn from other people. And this is of great significance for a nation’s growth and prosperity. Last, with the development of today’s technology, education becomes even more valuable than ever before. The mentioned four points explains not only why education is important but also why more and more parents are sending their children to English speaking countries like the United States and the UK to study. Because the reality is that universities and colleges in these countries can provide better education, that is to say, better qualifications and more competitive edges for their children to land a dream job and achieve what they want for their life in the future. In this sense, the good intenti...
