Higher education is the foundation for growth within our global economy. Students, who properly utilized the system to its fullest extent, garner life altering skills and abilities. These skills, which are often transferable from industry to industry further, enhance the quality of life for society. Many of the world's brightest students help create, lead, and establish many of the world's dominant organizations. These organizations, in turn, create goods and services that provide a compelling value proposition for the consumer. Without the aid of higher education, and the subsequent benefits derived from participation, many of these individuals would not have made the significant contributions to society that they have. It is therefore logical to continue to preserve the higher education system so that the next generation of students can further enhance the quality of life for society. Opportunities abound, particularly within the millennial generation, predicated on the ubiquitous nature of information sharing (Veblen, 1918). The ability to gather, analyze and disseminate information has never been as robust as it stands today. Higher education has a very bright and prosperous future ahead (Ewell, 1999). Therefore people believe the subsidization of higher education is warranted. I believe that ultimately, the individual student should finance their own ventures.

Criminal Justice System – Most Important Change Needed According to my research of Criminal Justice websites, journal articles and books, perhaps the most needed improvement is the System's institutionalized assistance in breaking the cycle of substance abuse in America. On a daily basis, all levels of the Criminal Justice System must deal with either substance abuse charges or related problems such as thefts committed to obtain drug money, domestic abuse by drug abusers and probation violations by failed drug tests. As a result, the System is forced to deal with the significant impact of drug abuse in the United States. It appears that Criminal Justice experts are determined to break the cycle of substance abuse in our Nation in order to handle all the drug/alcohol-related problems faced by the System. Through decades of intelligent observation and practice, the System is gradually realizing that merely punishing substance abuse offenders is an ineffective method of dealing with the substance abuse cycle. Consequently, the System must pay closer attention to the science of addiction and institutionalize methods of dealing with addiction throughout the System. First, the System should require system-wide continuing education of judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, police, probation officers and all other members of the Criminal Justice System about the science of addiction. Secondly, the educators and the members of the Criminal Justice System should work together for a statewide or even nationwide plan to determine: what roles each member of the Criminal Justice System should play in dealing with addiction, according to his/her job in the System; what information must be gathered to decide whether a person suffers from addiction; the earliest/best times to screen people who come into contact with the System; all the possible alternatives for dealing with screened people, depending on their assessment results. Third, these decisions should be used to design effective System-wide: alternative programs for dealing with addiction; screening and assessment in order to decide which people should be merely prosecuted and which people need alternatives such as substance abuse treatment. Fourth, the System needs to empower and encourage all members of the Criminal Justice System to use effective alternatives to sentencing. Fifth, the System needs to empower and encourage all members of the Criminal Justice System to supervise people being helped by those alternatives, using the power of their positions to encourage each person's cooperation. By adopting a System-wide approach to substance abuse, the Criminal Justice System can more effectively and ultimately inexpensively deal with our rampant drug/alcohol-related criminal problems.

This paper analyzes Anoop Nayak's 2003 sociological study "Boyz to Men: masculinities, schooling and labour transitions in de- industrial times." Working class men in post-industrial England have a much higher unemployment rate than do women. Nayak theorized that the culture of masculinity created an environment which valorized increasingly scarce manual labor versus seeking higher education.

Students at Schreiner University have to pay significantly more to attend college than they would have if they went to a public university in Texas. However, some students get assistance, and pay similar rates to public schools. With that in mind, this paper explores how students are affected by tuition rates and how that, in turn, affects the overall economy.
