College vs Elite College


I think the most persuasive debate is the one from Martha O'Connell on What You Do vs. Where You Go. To me the reason why is that i find it that its more in tune with the students... it doesn't just blurt out results of what you will get after a Elite college because not all results are the same and not everyone is the same, unlike the other passages I’ve read... some aren’t even true and they don’t even have a source to what they are saying... so it makes me wonder if they just blurted it out so people will try to aim for Elite Colleges. Another thing is that i like how she doesn’t care about results and shows proof that some famous people are college drop outs. But that is also her fatal point as Cameron pointed out in class that some people will think that’s better and not even attend college depending on luck there whole life. One more thing is that she also talks about how Students should be able too choose there own colleges and not let the parents do the picking for them, I agree on certain points on this but i think if you wanted your parents help that’s fine.
I think the most stupidest debate and least persuasive was the one from Anthony P. Carnevale on Access to Money and Power. From what I’ve been hearing a couple of people agree and one person told me that she thinks this person is too sarcastic, I didn’t really notice it till i reread it again and i totally agree with her but sometimes Sarcasm is needed to draw the attention of a reader, but in this case it’s used in a error manner. The way this person talks is also not focused to an extent of one single point and doesn’t get to the point in anyway possible making it a big hard to understand this persons real goal on what he is trying to talk about. But like i said in the first paragraph this person only said results and data he had probably made up, isn’t very true.
