 Why post-secondary education should be free 

Pluto interlinks the issue of Justice with a design for the integration of knowledge of the individual and society while Aristotle regards Justice as being important for in some sense Justice is the most complete among the virtues.

In his opinion, Plato views political Justice as easy to achieve especially within a city and then from which it is reflected a specific individual thereby creating a stability in the method of governance which is possible to achieve using education and reason.

Pluto classification of society is in layers using layers of professions to classify society. In contrast, Aristotle classifies society mainly using only three layers lower middle and high this Aristotle classification based on the wealth with little regard on the ills affecting the society. Plato’s main idea and +drive is to implement transformative politics that aim at ensuring that he transforms the local politics. On the other hand, Aristotle aim is to study the existing political systems. Plato believes that the political systems can be transformed and made better while Aristotle believes this the existing political systems is impossible to change. Plato opinion about politics and Justice is that it has to be ideal; however, this is disputed by Aristotle who views Justice and politics as real and impossible to become ideal.

Free Post-Secondary Education. (2018, December). Retrieved November 16, 2020, from https://cfsontario.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Factsheet-FreeEducation

This article talks about free education in many countries worldwide; countries in Western Europe- Finland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland all have free post-secondary education where no one pays for tuition. This article also talks about how free education can reduce financial barriers and help promote individuals to pursue post-secondary education after high school. This article also shows how post-secondary education can be achieved which will be through the existing tax system income. Only about 30% of people in Ontario have completely finished their post-secondary education. The high cost of education is preventing a lot of people to go and finish their post-secondary education. This article is very useful as all the information on this article actually refers to things that are happening in Ontario and not worldwide. All the information that is given in this article is information that was put together for statistics and results in Canada- specifically Ontario.

This article discusses that free post-secondary can help students that are low to middle class families get the education they need. A lot of times people who have potentially to get a good education get restricted by having to take on warehouse/general labour jobs for the sake of money and think that they can save up for an education. With the help of free post-secondary option students can work while getting their education as well. Free post-secondary can give individuals to finally get a job in the career they really wish to do instead of going to programs with smaller fees to get their education. This article is helpful because it shows how doing something as simple as free post-secondary can help promote better education for people who do wish to go to school but due to circumstances cannot.

5. Where will post-secondary tuition money come from then?

Final Research Essay (25%)

Due date: December 9th | Folder: Final Essay on SLATE

This essay is the final stage of a research and writing process that incorporates your work on the

Annotated Bibliography and the Oral Presentation. You must use the same topic that you have chosen for

your annotated bibliography and presentation. You must discuss your topic and analyze your evidence in
this research paper – it should not just be a presentation of information that you have gathered from your

sources. You may choose one of the two following styles for your essay:

Style 1: Complexity Essay

The goal of a complexity essay is to explain what makes your chosen topic a complex one. Rather than

defending one particular side, you will aim to explain why the topic as a whole is a difficult one.

Typically, complexity essays will be a sophisticated and evidence-based response to the following

question: what makes [topic X] a complex one? For example: what makes the legalisation of marijuana a

complex topic?

You will develop a handful of arguments that support the overall idea of complexity for your topic. Each

individual argument will then be supported with evidence from the sources you have gathered.

For example: the legalisation of marijuana in Canada is a complex topic because of arguments A, B, C, D,

and E. These arguments are supported with evidence.

Style 2: Argumentative Essay

The goal of an argumentative essay is to explain why one particular position is better than another. Rather

than simply (1) comparing or contrasting or (2) listing information you have found, you must demonstrate

an awareness of the two or more perspectives on your chosen topic and support one perspective with

evidence. If you provide only points you agree with and support them with evidence, you are producing

an overwhelmingly biased essay. Therefore, you must also provide an argument or two that you disagree

with and use your evidence to refute that/those argument(s).

For example: the government of Canada should legalise marijuana because of arguments A, B, C, and D.

These arguments are supported with evidence. Argument E goes against my position, but I will refute it

with evidence I have gathered.

Construct a paper that contains the following elements:

1. APA style cover page
2. Title
3. Introduction (one paragraph or two, at the maximum)
4. Main discussion section

a. 5-10 body paragraphs of discussion and analysis, which include:
i. well-defined argument, normally one per body paragraph

ii. evidence (facts, statistics, examples, professional/scientific opinion) that supports
or refutes the arguments

iii. visuals, if needed (graphs, charts, tables)
5. Conclusion (one paragraph or two, at the maximum)
6. APA style reference page that includes:

a. a minimum of 5 research sources:
i. at least 2 must be academic

ii. others may be academic or non-academic
7. 1,500 to 2,100 words excluding content from the title page and reference page—you may not

exceed 2,100 words without approval from the instructor first (in person or by email)

Your paper should be formatted according to APA guidelines, meaning:

1. Times New Roman, introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion at 12 font size
2. Double-spaced
3. 1” Margins

NOTE: No more than 30% of the essay can be another author’s referenced words or ideas – if an essay
simply reassembles sources from elsewhere without the addition of your own thoughts, then this

constitutes a breach of academic honesty/integrity and could potentially result in a mark of 0. Your essay

will be scanned by a software that scans the content in the essay against everything that is available on the

web.

Final Paper Research Rubric
Worth 25%
Introduction 5

5 4 3 2 1 0

The introduction provides context for the paper. It includes
adequate background information, explains the purpose of the
paper (research question), discusses the scope and limitations
of the research, and previews the major sections of the paper
(optional). The thesis statement is clearly written and
includes specific mention of research and arguments which
form the body of the paper. The thesis statement is
argumentative and grammatically correct. It flows naturally
from the background information presented.

More detail is required when introducing
background information. Some further explanation
of the purpose of the paper and description of its
major sections may be needed. The student must
make the purpose/scope clearer. The thesis may be
present, but it may lack the detail or sophistication
necessary for a research paper. The research
question/purpose of the paper needs to be clarified.

Some background information is present but is insufficient.

The thesis statement is absent, unfocused, or unclear.

The student needs to work on developing a clearer thesis and
stronger arguments; as well as seek better means to outline
and preview a research paper.
