Barack Obama Wants The US: Smartest Country In The World

President Barack Obama did many things to get to the positions he is at now.” Obama himself struggled with his mixed-race identity and sought to figure out how he fit in with the rest of the world”(Source B). He also had many problems growing up and many complications to get through school since he didn’t have much money. But Obama showed great appreciation for the things he had. He went out in his community becoming a great leader. Not only did he go out in his community and be a leader, But he showed great leadership, as a senate and as a president.Barack Obama was more than just an ordinary President, but he showed great leadership, hard work and cared for others than himself.

In his speech, “Remarks by the President in a National Address to America’s Schoolchildren,” Obama effectively argues his claim, that kids should go to school and try very hard to succeed to schoolchildren around the U.S. He effectively argues his claim because he uses supporting details and stories of students that have undergone tough situations, but still overcame those obstacles to succeed and school. Also, he is trying to tell kids that they should do well in school to get a good job and make a difference. He also uses rhetorical appeals to help with the supporting details. One of supporting evidence that he brought up was that if someone wants to become something such as a doctor, or lawyer you will need a good education to do

President Barack Obama is know for remarkable events such as becoming the first African American president of the United States; however, not everyone knows about what else Obama has done. He is also an author who has written around twenty books including a memoir about his early life leading up to his life in law school, and a children’s book dedicated to his daughters. His most famous book Dreams From My Father, a memoir about his early life leading up to law school, is a prime example of what influenced him to write. There were many things that happened in Obama’s life that caused him to write. Things such as the segregation happening in the U.S at the time, his broken home and his feelings towards his absent father.

In Obama’s speech, it says that students must take responsibility for their own success in school, no matter what obstacles they face. Obama claims this will benefit not only the students themselves but also their whole country. Obama's perspective seems to be that hard work is patriotic.

Barack Obama has a strong desire to influence and lead others. In 2012 re-election, Obama has said "I guarantee you, we will move this country forward," (“Barack Obama Biography,” n.d.). This proves that he is willing to bear the responsibilities to lead the others.

     Will Durant, a businessman and the founder of General Motors, once said, “Education is the transmission of civilization.” Unfortunately, education is still one of the most deliberated and controversial issues in the United States. Thus far, the privilege or right to receive education has not attained the level of equality throughout the nation; poor districts obtain less educational funding while rich districts obtain more, creating an immense gap between the quality of schools in poor and rich areas.

Since the end of the Second World War the United States has arguably been considered the greatest country in the world. The supposed leader of the free world, strongest and most powerful country in the world. The definition that the United States is the ‘greatest country’ in the world is open to discussion and can be compared at many different levels, however, for the purpose of this essay, the term ‘greatness’ is measured by its economic prowess and its hard power. The term ‘hard power’ is defined as ‘a coercive approach to international political relation, especially one that involves the use of military power’. After eight years of Obama doctrine, is it time to make America great again” must be broken down into two parts. What is Obama Doctrine, does it exist and then compare his Doctrine also tackle the quote of ‘making America great again’. This essay will argue that Obama Doctrine does exist and is linked to his foreign and domestic policies. It will also argue that America is still great but for different reasons. It will provide evidence that with the Obama doctrine it has moved from the historic use of hard power to a soft power footing. ‘Soft power” is defined as ‘a persuasive approach to international relations, typically involving the use of economical or cultural influence’. However, even with this switch in posture, the United States has remained great. Albeit for

I don’t want that future for my daughters. I don’t want that future for your sons. I don’t want that future for America.” Obama wants to help children, he doesn’t want children to fail in society, that’s Obama’ vision.

America is still the land of opportunity and people still strive and succeed in their quest for self-improvement. And in no other aspect of America can this opportunity to succeed and their striving for betterment be as so clearly seen than in Americans obsession to achieve education at the highest levels. 94 percent of Americans believe that Education is important and 73 percent agree that higher education is “essential for getting a good job” (Source F). This symbolizes how Americans see education as the outlet to achieve affluence, success and a “better,” “high[er] quality of life” (source F). Furthermore, the many scholarships offered by schools, one of which mentioned by Obama in Source B, displays another aspect of the education system that provides opportunities for self-improvement, if earned through hard work, for an individual by providing a chance to obtain higher education no matter what background one comes from. In essence, education has become the primary path to achieve an improved standing on both a societal and individual

In addition to creating unity within America, the President should focus on improving our education system in our nation. Public schools have the ability to create

He believes that turning our nation’s education system around is a simple and easy task that can be accomplished easily. Mitt Romney’s main purpose in giving his speech was to try and explain to the nation that with higher education the American Dream is easily obtained by fixing the current education crisis. He was also trying to convince the American people that he could be the man and leader that would effectively turn the education system around. He claims that curing the nation’s education crisis would be a huge step for not only children, but for the men and women they would later become. Also, with better and higher education amongst people, the overall employment rate will increase due to the knowledge obtained at younger and higher levels of education.

Have you ever thought of the people who move to America from other countries with poor conditions and wonder what their education must have been like? People from other countries are not able to receive the education they need in order to be able to go and improve their lives in order to have a better life for themselves and for their future families that could possibly have one day. When children are forced to move from other countries to America they take longer in order to be able to grasp the education skills they are being taught since not everyone learns they same they are forced to have to be able to learn new ways of education. Education in third world countries have improved over the years, but there are still flaws to the system while

Over time there has been alot of president's that has been in and out of the white house.

Obama on July 24th, 2009 when giving a speech on the idea and probable implementation of his new program called Race to the Top. Taxpayers in America pay more money per student in comparison to other nations, but our education system is far from the best in the world. President Obama and his administration demanded a higher quality education for all American children. Not only did President Obama and his administration demand a higher quality education for America, but also a complete and competitive education. That is why President Obama presented every state, including Washington D.C, with an opportunity to participate in “Race to the Top.” Supported by a 4.35 billion dollar investment, the “Race to the Top” program received strong criticisms, and ended up losing it’s funding.

President Obama’s next issue in the State of the Union Address was the need for education reform. President Obama talked about the need to improve the quality of education. Republican and Democratic governors throughout the country introduced a plan last year called Race to the Top; to summarize it states “If you show us the most innovative plans to improve teacher quality and student achievement, we'll show you the money.” The President supported Race to the Top by giving an example of a high school in Colorado rated to be one of the worst in the state; after the first year the school went through rectification ninety-seven percent of the seniors graduated.
