Recent events

In light of the recent tragedies, one author decided to bring back to our attention that some schools were accepting bribes in monetary value in order to admit students who were not at all eligible for any the programs the school had to offer. Not only did they make their way in to these schools illegally, the students didn't even know that their parents bribed they universities for them. Randi Lynn Tanglen, a writer for the Dallas news offers the audience a bit more to bargain for. By providing the readers with little unknown facts about the topic. The author makes sure to reach out to a more justice filled audience, an audience who will for sure be against the idea of corruption in our education system.

The author provides quite some detail by making any comparisons of the institution she currently attends regularly versus the institutions that let this occur and actually encouraged the schemes of bribing incapable students and putting them in such a high position in which they are not prepared for. Tanglen provided some very delicate information, she also retrieved some information from The Pew Research Center and according to a study they've conducted they've determined Our higher education system is " Heading in the wrong direction" and many dismiss the value of a college degree, especially the worth of a liberal arts education. I personally have to agree with Randi Tanglen, her point is very clear and in my eyes it'll be nothing less than unethical to think otherwise.

Trump's overpriced America

In slightly complex articles its easy to get the idea of what the author of the article is trying to portray, based off of many liberal writers, I have understood the idea that the majority of these authors absolutely dislike Donald Trump on a number of occasions where they make sure to emphasize the idea of how they perceive Donald Trumps new and upcoming political policies. Referencing to a piece  written by The editorial board of The Dallas Morning News on February 22nd, in this editorial what a reader may find interesting, another may find as hate towards our president. All political supporters have become a bit more on the sensitive side due to recent events. In regards to this certain article, I tend to agree with the logic completely. I've always lived by the old saying "if it ain't broken don't fix it" and I believe this fits perfectly within this scenario and it may come off as a strong liberal thing to say but it is the truth. The author is definitely looking to reach a liberal audience. If our economy is strong and getting stronger, why would we want to tamper with it and possibly even move major corporations that have set ground here in the United States for their production and distribution motives? Many individuals employed within the Major brand Toyota are at risk for losing their employment opportunities within the company due to a rise in tariffs, because why would a company as big as Toyota want to stay somewhere if they can operate in a different area or region for a lot cheaper. If the tariff is passed, it can potentially add a whopping $2,270 per car built on U.S soil which is utterly disgusting. I think the tax dollars that we are currently paying is more than enough. Not once was there a decision which was made through trumps duration in office was for the people, all decisions made by Trump call only for more power to our government. The editorial board of the Dallas Morning News seems very credible on the topic, and the board also makes a very interesting argument.
