Simple Tuition (a great site for college students, prospectives, and even graduates!) uploaded this picture on their facebook.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But of course the mainstream media would never do something smart and beneficial like that.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people would watch a show like this because it's relevant. And I know there are a lot of inspiring stories out there of people going against bad odds and getting an education and a future. What about the success of "The Blind Side???" That is a much more common story in our country than most think.
Why not also discuss ridiculous college expenses and then make it a hotter topic in politics? As a recent graduate, I know there is something really wrong with our country's stance on education. We are at the bottom of the list when it comes to funding for education and private colleges?-- good luck trying to not be enslaved into paying those off the rest of your life.
No, the media doesn't think stuff like that will sell... and I don't think they're thinking ethically about how they can actually have a good influence with the power they possess.
It's all about the money.
But actually, it seems like it goes deeper than that, because good stories like this would sell. So why do they show stories and music videos that promote self-destruction?
Do they want the world to be sex, drugs, and Jersey Shore? What does the degradation of our youth do for them?
Something to ponder.
