Mandatory Service In High Schools

Volunteering to me is more meaningful than being forced to be there. I know if i was forced to be somewhere i would be way more upset than if i volunteered to go. If we force individuals to draft into the military i also believe that it takes away the “American character”. If you send thousands of people to war when they don’t want to be there, it sends other countries the message that we aren’t free. We aren’t free if we are pushed to enlist into a military with the chance that our lives could be taken. Several people just aren’t made to do physical or athletic things such as war. If this is such a great country why shouldn't we be able to volunteer and not be

For the purposes of my comparison I will be referring to the plan outlined in Richard Stengel’s “A Time to Serve” article. Potential downsides to the individual might be what is mentioned above, that somebody might take a job that I may desperately need for their volunteer work that I would otherwise have received out of necessity. Considering that I am a student at the moment, this consequence does not weigh too much on my opinion. One that does though is the moral factor that “if everybody has to” engage in civic service, “then it’s not voluntary” at all, and I wouldn’t otherwise feel the satisfaction that I was helping somebody out of altruism (Kinsley 1). Though this weighs down on people morally it isn’t all that bad either because an incentive to volunteer can be beneficial to the individual. If I were to be offered “$19,000 by the time” I’m twenty for dedicating “at least one year” of my life to “national or military service”, then I would certainly benefit from it because that money could go towards paying my college tuition or my first home (Stengel 2). The benefits to me for serving my country are relatively significant, and in the process it helps out my country thereby making required service a win-win for the individual and

Even though mandatory military service is has already been mandated in some countries, but it shouldn't be mandated in any other countries. There should be freedom given to these young adults that recently graduated teens. Mandating military service is a heartbreaking mandatory law to families. First and foremost, mandatory

Less than one percent of all Americans are enlisted in the military. An even smaller percentage of high school students are enlisted. Students are thought to be incompetent, and not mature enough to decide on enlisting in the military. However, students should be allowed to join the military. The military offers many benefits students can use to help their future. The protection of our country is not overlooked for recruits; they are awarded many personal benefits as well. Tuition assistance, job training, and many benefits that help prepare recruits for occupations while enlisted. Not only are students getting great benefits, but they are also in a small group of professional workers.

Students already have to much to do. Community service will take time away from more important things. It is already hard to pass tests and get good

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.

High school administrations care about the well being of their students. They aim to guide the students in a way that will prepare them for the future ahead of each student. Thus administrations of high school have certain requirements that students must finish before graduating. There is one requirement that

Mandatory Community Service for Seniors When applying for a position at a job, managers always check to see how much experience you have in order to check if you are qualified. When filling out a college application there are always questions that ask to

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.

Mandatory military service can help promote national unity. First, it will allow Millennials to learn and train together, creating a shared experience and a conversation starter of serving in the military. Then there is the general understanding of what life actually is in the army and what will have to be done in order to protect the country and yourself. Millennials will be able to understand and adapt an appreciation for the sacrifices that many people in the military make for their country. More importantly, it’ll bring everyone together as a country, especially with a threat from other nations. When the nations do

In conclusion,although many citizens/teenagers do not have hunger for the military but they are put in there in way in different countries. Those teenagers that are graduating have already decided what they wanted to do with their life like going to college and getting a degree, but there is a different aside to this because going to the military could be very spectacular for many others.Like those who are trouble makers.They can learn discipline at the military. So there are many stupendous ways that military is spectacular for a person, but there are detrimental,horrified things about getting sent to the

With an increase in national service that would also increase in a need for civilian service. And with that rise to balance out ratio of civilian service to national service it should be every person upon graduation should be forced to choose one or the other, civilian service, or national service. So the question is not if you think civilian service should be required or not but the question of, upon graduation which would you rather choose? It’s a serious matter that I think should be addressed to the general public. Or instead of volunteering the government should bring the draft back into effect.

In different countries all over the world, it is mandatory for every young person to serve at least two years of service in the military. Many people believe we should have the same policy in the United States. People should have their own choice to serve in the military or not because mandatory military service is unfair and does not give each young person the right to express themselves in their daily life.

If the government were to try to force citizens into mandatory military service it would take away the people's freedom. Forcing someone to give up at least 2 years of their lives doing something they may not want or be physically capable of is a violation on free will. As well as infringes on the people's rights. In America our rights are our freedoms and by infringing on these rights they are trying to take away our freedom.

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
