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
Mandatory Public service is a topic that has been debated for years. Joanne Levy-Prewitt, an independent college admission counselor, is in favor of making Public Services a requirement for graduated students. The relationship between service and education is significant and benefit from each other.
“Should the United State of America adopt the idea that every American citizen should serve at least 2 years in the military?”, in my opinion, this is a terrible idea. America is “The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave”. Going into the military should be a personal choice.What would this benefit anyways? This is, in my opinion, a bad idea, this would change the course of America’s history as we know it.
I believe that the United States should perform one year of community service by the age of 30. The reason why i think that is because i think it would help people understand eachother and bring us all closer together in many ways. One way is that it would pay good so there would be less homeless and less people fighting to feed there families. I believe that kids and odulats would be more thankfull and respectfull for what they have and try harder to become something after they see what they can do.
Many countries require young people to serve two years of military service, and as we continue to have military conflicts across the world, some people have proposed that the united states adopt a similar type of policy of mandatory conscription. I believe that a two-year period of national service should be obligatory for all 18 year olds. It’ll help strengthen the character of youth, and will help increase the collective conscience of a nation and the restraint of leaders when considering military action. As we have 18 year olds go into the military, they should get the option in whatever kind of public service that suits his or her interest. Different genders across the world are frequently given different responsibilities. For example,
Compulsory National Service was accepted by many Americans back when the nation was starting to become a powerhouse and wars were beginning to emerge. However, forcing young adults to join or at least register for the military at the age of 18 or is wrong because it is against their free will, they may have a different career path in mind that could be disrupted if a war is to emerge and it will affect their mental state and they could be diagnosed with PTSD.
Mandatory civil service should be a requirement of all high school graduates to advance on to the real world and/or college after. With this system, there would be nothing but benefits, students would support their community and country, develop new experiences and find a possible new interest, instill some discipline and training, and could potentially save time and money for the parents and students going to the real world. If this was instilled, our community as a whole would benefit, and our students would be better equipped to deal with the day to day life of the real
I think Congress shouldn’t make students join the military or public service after high school if they don’t want to. They should not make it mandatory to join after high school because they might want to go to college. If you think Congress shouldn’t make students join the military after high school, listen to this. Congress is trying to pass a law saying that it’s mandatory that students do 1 year of military or public service. Never in the history of our nation has there ever been a mandatory military service requirement and I have to ask why now. Students should have the right to say no, many people volunteer to join and risk their lives. People who don’t want to join won’t do as well as people who wanted to join. Service in the military should be a choice.
Think also, the possibility of forcing young criminals between the ages of 18 and 25 to join the military. Maybe due to joining the military, these young criminals would be reformed into honorable, self-respecting individuals or become leaders of our great nation. In addition, if military conscription were implemented, the tax payers would not have to pay for the juvenile criminals to be locked up in maximum or minimum security centers.
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.
Making military service mandatory sound like it would be a good idea. This can give discipline, makes stronger citizens, but the reality is doing this takes away freedom and goes against the very foundations of what America is supposed to be. Mandatory military service should not be required for American citizens.
Can we continue to support individuals who abuse their welfare benefits? The public assistance programs created during the 1930’s that have provided a safety net for people living below the federal poverty level. Chemical dependency screenings and monthly account audits are presently needed to thwart the irrational spending of supporting welfare recipients that misuse their benefits to obtain illegal drugs or alcohol. I feel that drug screening new applicants or beneficiaries who currently receive public assistance should become mandatory to strengthen the integrity, accountability, and health of our welfare program in America.
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.
In todays society the war in the Middle East can be considered a controversial topic. The men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan put their lives on the line every day to help keep our country free. No one has forced them to serve in the United States Armed Forces they have made their own conscience decision to serve. However these men and women only make up a small percentage of the United States population. Should all men and women be required to serve in the U.S. armed forces when they graduate from high school or should the United States require mandatory military service?
Every able-bodied American should be required to serve a minimum of two years of military service. We are the first line of defense; whether it be of our county or ourselves. Many are more than willing to turn this responsibility over to someone else. As a society, we are soft, distrustful of one other, thin-skinned, easily distracted, and unwilling to take personal responsibility for our actions. Mandated military service will help establish a more committed nation that is resilient, respectful of rights and freedoms, will enter adulthood with practical work experience and better physical fitness standards. I will inform you of each way military service would be beneficial for the general population.
Another benefit of mandating the service of young adults is that they would be disciplined and setup for success in life as a productive citizen of the United States. Military boot camp is designed to break the recruit down to where they are not better than any other recruit, and then they train them to do their best in every task they approach. This creates unrivaled discipline and extreme excellence in every operation the United States military executes. Not only will this be useful while in military service, but also when they begin to operate in the working world. This requirement will unify the working force as a result of the mandated service. Businesses will be able to work efficiently and accurately in all that they accomplish. Again, this will improve the United States as a country. Why would the United States refuse this mandate? The only reason would be that they bring the law down to the lowest denominator of the few people who argue with the benefits. These people might say that not all people are designed to be in the military. However, the military has jobs for every make and model. Every talent is useful to the military. Making young adult serve in the military for two years would actually give them time to figure out what their future career is meant to be. Some people cannot ever be satisfied, and would object to anything! On the contrary, decisions that have the abundance of benefits as mandating service for young
