Explain Why The United States Should Perform One Year Of Community Service

Many schools require students to participate in community service, but I think this is a good idea. Many schools do not require students to volunteer in community service. I agree that students should have to volunteer to graduate. I think that students should be forced to volunteer for community service sometime in their high school career as it makes people work and shows them what work really is. It also gets people off there lazy tail.

Community service is about helping people who are in need. we should pick if we want to help, not be forced to do it because we need it to graduate. That is not the point of helping people. Community service takes a lot of time. Students already have to much to do. Community service will take time away form more important things. Although some people have argued that community service should be required, closer examination will show that it should be the students choice and students all ready have enough things to do. High schools should not require community service to graduate.

Students should not be required to complete 100 hours of community service to graduate high school for many reasons. Some of which include the lack of extra free time, inability to go somewhere, and the potential to have a higher dropout rate.

Many high schools around the country have made community service hours mandatory in order for the seniors to graduate. Not everyone agrees that this should be a requirement because seniors already have enough on their plate. When seniors are about to graduate, it does not matter how many tasks they have to complete as a requirement if they do not feel like doing it and they have no motivation they will not complete

Perspective is everything. You need to think about one thing in different perspectives. Imagine walking into a neighborhood with people that are in situations, such as, being hungry or in poverty and you are wealthy so you do nothing. However, if you were living in their shoes, you would be begging for a meal or even a roof over your head. This is the reason why there needs to be more volunteers for community service to help others that do need the help, even if they don’t ask for it. In this article, “Should the United States Establish Mandatory Public Service for Young Adults?” by Kent Ansen (2013), the proposition that the author made is an interesting one and one that I believe in but I think that it should be suggested rather than mandatory.

Do you think Americans should be forced to volunteer for some form of national service? Yes because in my opinion it should be required because there are soldiers overseas that fight for our freedom. Even if it was civilian service such as the police force or firefighter it should be required. It would be a good idea because if you think about it this way each and everyone of us has a job be it military or civilian service. Also if you look at it like this, with more civilian service the place we live will be safe just like with more national service.

In Dave Egger’s article “Serve or Fail’ he explains how college students should be required to volunteer for public service. Dave Egger’s describes how many college students spend most of their time doing things that aren't necessary such as “ maybe they're in their rooms, painting their toenails black with a Q-tip and shoe polish.”(180) I do not agree with Dave Egger’s that students should do community service hours because they are several reasons why they won't be able to. Many college students have families to take care of, jobs they have to work in order to pay off bills or attend school classes and etc.

I am in agreement with completing 100 hours of community service during my 4 years of high school but I do not agree with it being a policy. Making it a policy for an already stressed out teenager could present several dilemmas.

The topic of mandatory national service has been around for years now, and there will always be arguments on whether it should be enforced or not. Some may say that it takes away our freedom, but is it not what gives us freedom in the first place? The United States’ military, national service, as well as community service is based on volunteers. That is what makes this country great, but there are less volunteers as years go by. Crime increases, streets are not safe anymore, Americans are oblivious to what is happening around the world. There are so many opportunities to give back to the country, yet, not many care. Today’s generation is based on social trends, and self-gratification. There is also the fact that many young people do not know what to do with their life after high school, some continue to college or focus on work, others do not work nor study. Therefore, all young men and women should be required to give two years to national service because it can help solve problems as well as build the community back together.

would make the world a healthier place to live on. If we were to convince the government on

How many people do you know that volunteer? How many are forced to do it? United States citizens shouldn’t be required to serve one year of community service between the ages of 18 and 30. By forcing people to volunteer they won’t do it out of kindness, the United States will have a deeper debt, and there is no way to keep track.

In my perspective, I strongly agree with the idea that everyone has to perform at least one year of mandatory public service. I think this because it will really benefit the nation as a whole. It will show the individuals what has to be done to protect the country. Furthermore, if an individual chooses to do military service it will help the U.S military and the nation overall. The benefits to the United States society for young men making themselves available for public service would be that they as individuals would be more disciplined and mature. I think that it will help them grow physically and emotionally because of us as people we have feelings which play a big role in our lives. It would also help them fully develop themselves and they

Personally, I would say that community service is okay for misdemeanours for example not paying a ticket, pickpocketing or fighting in public. If the people who have done something like this are sent to do community service, they would be paying our society for what they have done wrong. If we decide to do the contrary and send them to prison, we would need more another place to take those who have done something more serious and must be sent to jail. By making them do community work, they would scare and humiliate them enough for them not to do it

All in all, requiring students to do 75 hours of community service is a bad idea. Not only does it cut into personal time such as football practice to studying for a big test, it pushes students to do too much at one time. Also. not being able to have that free time after school prevents the student from being able to hold a good job since he/she would only be able to work around two to three hours a

As an 18-year-old tennager, I was forced by my parents to participate a summer volunteer program in my freshman year. Even though I felt that I was a victim of “tyranny” in the beginning, I realized that I actually enjoyed the process of helping people in the middle of the program. Now, I participate that program every year as an active member, and I have gained the personal enrichment that I am unable to learn from other sources such as math club or SAT preparatory class. There is no doubt that community service can bring essential benefits in helping students develop their moral value and future interest, and it should be mandatory because some students attempt to utilize community service as a tool for their own profit without the school supervision.
