America is a melting pot of cultures. Is it important to maintain an identity relating to one's native country? Why? Some say that maintaining one's own native identity can lead to a polarized society. For example, some don't like America becoming bilingual with Spanish as a second language. Do you agree that promoting one's culture can lead to polarization? Explain your stance in detail. If you were the President of the United States, how would you defend your perspective and convince the public?

“Young adults want the amenities that extra money brings," according to John B. Boshoven, counselor for continuing education at Community High School in Michigan. However, he warns, "school is my students' full-time job.“ Imagine you are a school reporter writing an editorial about after school jobs for students. Convince your audience whether or not students should have an after school job.

TAKE THE BASIC CDW
Claim: After school jobs create a negative experience for teens because they conflict with the essential goal of success In academics. Data: Teens with after school jobs often do not have enough spare time to succeed at both a job and school. Study time is essential to successful academic performance. Warrants: After school jobs subtract from essential study time and therefore retract from the overarching goal of academic success. Teens with after school jobs often do not have enough spare time to succeed at both a job and school. For that reason, students’ grades will drop or they will lose their job.

+ QUANTIFIERQUANTIFIER explain how your data supports your claim. Example:This competition will eventually resolve to sacrificing job time or academic time. For that reason, after school jobs clash with objectives of academic success.
