.... in schools is: to punish or not to punish? Believers of punishment argue that there are many positive effects of punishment. Directing his argument at parents and teachers Chung-ceng Lin argues that Punishment is a more effective method than encouragement to increase child diligence in studying(Lin 46). Although educators and psychologists persistently support encouragement rather than punishment for childrens education, many teachers and parents often argue punishment is more effective. Again, Lin, an authority in child education, says, Children will be misbehave more if they are rewarded with benefits regardless of their behavior in the classroom. Children wil ....

.... will increase a family’s lifestyle. For instance, if a teenager works, he will have money for his needs, and he will not have to be asking his parents for money all the time. By having a job a teenager can save up for college, to buy a car, to buy a stereo, etc. Teenagers feel ‘free’ when they have a job: they can spend their own money on whatever they want without feeling guilty. In addition to helping his family, having a job at an early age can help for future jobs. When many people apply for an important job, the employer will most likely choose the person who has the most working experience. People who have had a job since their teenage years will kno ....

.... into the societal path into American mainstream society. Each school system is influenced by thoughts of bettering youth, but in much opposite ends of the spectrum. The French commission stated that the youth of America were offered the same curriculum in the hopes to form a united, equal society. America, as seen by the French, was a land of golden opportunities available to every child regardless of social standing. It was the basis for our country to survive. It safeguarded our standing in the world. Mike Rose’s school offered quite the opposite. It was a haven for long standing views on school being selective as to whom actually deserved the education. ....

.... follow lines of reasoning, how to say precisely what is intended, and especially how to prove basic concepts by following these lines of reasoning. Taking a course in geometry is beneficial for all students, who will find that learning to reason and prove convincingly is necessary for every profession. It is true that not everyone must prove things, but everyone is exposed to proof. Politicians, advertisers, and many other people try to offer convincing arguments. Anyone who cannot tell a good proof from a bad one may easily be persuaded in the wrong direction. Geometry provides a simplified universe, where points and lines obey believable rules and where conclusions are easi ....

.... of the low floating dust cloud, through the smoke of the fires, over the wreckage of once busy cities, man lives! Around the world, survivors began to gather in small groups. Just the sight of another live person was enough to give each one hope. By way of underground telecommunications, it was discovered that there were exactly one hundred survivors sparsely scattered throughout the world. Upon finding the few remaining aircraft and sea vessels, all one hundred survivors were able to gather at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It was decided that life could not continue to exist on Earth. There were little to no natural resources left and all animal life had ceased to ....

.... sports, because the main idea of the game is to score points, not to knock the opponent out. In amateur boxing, the force of a blow or its effect on the opponent does not count. A punch that knocks a boxer to the mat receives no more credit than a regular blow. A knockdown is scored as a single punch and does not necessarily make the boxer a winner of that round. When scoring this way, there is little emphasis on inflicting pain. Head guards are mandatory in the United States and in major international competitions. Form-fitted mouthpieces are also required and must be worn at all times; if it falls out, it is replaced immediately. Two boxers are usually matched up to the ....

.... system. In American schools, teachers and students are at the same social level. Students are encouraged to exchange their own opinions with the teacher. From an early age, students in the American educational system have been taught that they have the ability to achieve whatever they want to be, but rarely have been told how they can achieve their goal. This is because in America there are so many ways to achieve one's dream. Because of this belief in natural born ability in the land of opportunity, students receive very little pressure in school, so whatever they do in school is totally based on their personal beliefs. If a student wants to be successful he or she ....
