In 2012, a study was conducted by Universitas 21, the leading global network of research-intensive universities, in which the number of citizens with college degrees was calculated out of 26 developed countries. The United States, a nation which used to lead the world, "... ranked 16th in the number of 25-34 year-olds with college degrees" (Huffington Post). The same research also concluded that workers without a degree are twice as likely to be unemployed in the United States. This statistic directly correlates with the number of high school graduates who "are not adequately prepared for the courseload that awaits them, and are thus forced into remedial classes when they start college.

2. Herbert blames parents, students, the educational establishment, government leaders, and the news media for the decline in the college degree holders.

I believe that television can influence children in good and bad ways. Depending of what types of shows and channels the kids are watching it could actually be a good thing. If a child is only allowed to watch kids shows, and kids’ channels they won’t learn anything bad. If children are just watching shows like Dora the Explorer and Jake’s Neverland Island, they aren’t going to learn anything bad; they may actually learn things that are beneficial. With Dora the Explorer they learn problem solving and also get introduced to some Mexican culture and Spanish. If you were to let a child watch adult shows though, it may not turn out very well. For instance, if you let a little girl grow up watching shows like Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant, they grow up thinking that the way these girls act is ok, because hey, if they’re on TV, they must be doing something right.…

Television has also had some positive effects on children. Programs designed to teach and encourage racial tolerance have shown positive effects on school aged children, in both their attitude and behavior (Shochat 2003). Science programs such as The Magic School Bus and Bill Nye the Science Guy have been shown to be effective teaching tools (Calvert & Kotler, 2003). There is educational and appropriate television available, as research has shown.…
Lastly children that are exposed too much TV can show risky behaviors not appropriate for children. You may think a show is not bad but something simple as a child seeing someone smoking can provoke thoughts in the child’s head. Some TV shows and cartoons also promote racial stereotypes. All this can affect the child when they go out in the real world and how they treat others.…

Watching television can be educational in both a positive and negative way. In reality shows that teens from the age thirteen and up watch, teens are influenced in a negative way. They see adults acting chaotic; cursing, fighting, screaming, etc. in public areas. This gives people a negative outlook on the world. On the other hand, watching television can be educational in a positive way because there is more to television than reality shows. Television has many positively influenced shows such as: nature, animal, etc. and also negatively influenced shows.…
