In this blog post I will focus on three topics from the movie Where to Invade Next. I summarized the film in my last blog post, which is linked here. I will then create a research question for each topic, and write a brief argument responding to the question.
Topic: College debt in America Question: Should college be free to attend in America? Argument: I believe college education should be free to attend in America. Lots of people can not afford to attend college now and there are brilliant minds that will not have as many opportunities as others. Free college education would be ideal, but I do think that would be very hard to achieve. I certainly do not think it should be as expensive as it is now though. Topic: School Lunches in America Question: Should school lunches in America be healthier? Argument: I do believe school lunches in America should be healthier. Sometimes I look at my lunch in school and wonder if it is even real meat. America has a high obesity rate and healthier lunches at school could really decrease childhood obesity. Topic: Paid vacation days Question: Should America have 6 weeks paid vacation like in Italy? Argument: I do not think Americans should have 6 weeks paid vacation. Although it would be nice, I do not think we would get much productivity done. I do think we should be allowed some paid vacation though. Italians are much less stressed than Americans and have a longer life expectancy, and this could be a reason why.

I believe college should be free also, I think the amount it costs withholds many people from their true potential. If college was free would you change your mind about the schools you are looking into?

Regarding your first point about college education, what if we just had state colleges and community colleges as free? Private colleges and graduate schools would still be costly but you could still save hundreds of thousands by not paying for an undergraduate school for your first few years of college. Do you believe this to be achievable in our society?
