Argument Analysis - Why argue?

My topic selection is "Should the Obama Generation Drop Out?" by Charles Murray.  I selected the Argument Analysis topic because I experienced the changes felt by our country during the Obama rise to President.  I believe Murray clearly argues the need to encourage this Generation Drop Out to consider education as an option.  Education is for all.  However, the process and fear of student loans cause people to back down.  There are community and junior colleges that offer two year programs that can improve a person's position in the marketplace.

How does this generation market itself?  Many do not know the insider information to be successful with education beyond high school because they do not have that culture in their family.  Navigating the system can be troublesome, foreign, and out of reach.  It is is a problem that needs to be addressed by making all education programs more accessible for individuals to be stronger people in career options.

Murray says don't give up.  I agree.  Society, government and stakeholders need to be more aware of how education is interpreted before giving up and saying people are not interested.

There is an interest, but the information is not always realistic to people.
