11/7/2017 1 Comment Where To Invade Next? An Argument.This blog post is about the movie "Where To Invade Next?" that we watched in class. This post will be a lot different compared to last week especially based on how last weeks post was a summary of the film and the main idea about it. I will also be talking about a total of only three of the many topics covered in the movie.
Topic: Paid Holidays Research Question: Should the United States Government grant multiple weeks of guaranteed paid vacation? Argument: I think that yes, the government and almost all companies should be required to provide every employee with at least two or maybe three weeks of paid vacation. To me, two or three weeks of paid vacation seems right about the sweet spot for this. Especially because it could be a possibility that if you were to have even more weeks of vacation i think their pay could go down. Topic: Our Prison System Research Question: Should the United States change their prison system to be more humane and comforting to the prisoners? Argument: I also think that yes, the United States should implement more comfortable prisons and jails all throughout the whole country. I also think that we should try and lower the overall number of prisoners in prisons and jails. Most people are actually incarcerated because of only marijuana possession which personally i think is ridiculous but that's my opinion. I also think that the United States should still implement the death penalty but only for very major crimes. But for anything other than murder, rape, and other high offending crimes I think its unnecessary. Topic: Tuition Free College Research Question: Should the United States provide Tuition Free Colleges to its people? Argument: Yes, as a current college student I believe that this would be monumental to improving our country as a whole. Even though the current college I'm attending isn't very expensive compared to most. A price is a price and little to any people my age or even their families can promise them debt free educations.

Your paid vacation topic and argument were similar to mine. I too agree that Americans should receive roughly two to three weeks of paid vacation. It seems that increasing the amount of vacation time doesn't hinder a companies performance, so I can see it working. However, I do think the employees yearly salary may be lowered all together as a result of this.
